Kitchen Design in Vinings

Our Kitchen Design service provides comprehensive plans for new kitchens and kitchen renovations. We design the layout, select materials, and document the details for your contractor to build.

What we do

We begin with a Design consultation to understand your project. We then present your design, including floor plans and elevations. Our Construction documents provide detailed drawings, and we guide Material selections for cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures. During Jobsite inspections, we visit the site to review progress. We conclude with Finishing touches, ensuring all design elements are in place.

Who it suits

This service is for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta needing a new kitchen or a full kitchen renovation. It suits older homes in areas like Buckhead or Lake Forest, or new construction in Saugatuck.

In Vinings

Homes in Vinings

Homeowners in Vinings often live in 1980s and 1990s traditional homes within subdivisions like Vinings Estates and Paces Green. These homes frequently feature primary bathrooms with separate, small shower and toilet rooms, which we address with Bathroom Design. Many 1970s and 1980s ranch-style homes in neighborhoods like Vinings Crest present opportunities for Kitchen Design to update closed-off galley kitchens. We also work with 2000s-era homes in Vinings Walk, where we often provide Furnishing & Styling for open-concept living spaces.

What homeowners in Vinings ask for

Homeowners in Vinings frequently ask for Kitchen Design to update 1980s and 1990s kitchens with outdated finishes and layouts. Many projects involve Bathroom Design for primary suites in 1970s and 1980s homes, where we reconfigure small, separated spaces. We also provide Living Space design for 2000s homes with open floor plans that need defined zones and cohesive Furnishing & Styling.

Kitchen Design work from the studio

Led by Jill Kearns from the Atlanta studio

Jennifer Peterson and Jill Kearns, the sisters behind J. Peterson Design

About the studio

Two sisters, one studio

Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
