Kitchen Design in Western Springs
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.

Homes in Western Springs
In Western Springs, we often work with 1920s brick bungalows in neighborhoods like Forest Hills, where original galley kitchens are often closed off from dining rooms. We also see many 1950s and 1960s ranches in Springdale, where primary bathrooms are frequently split into two small, separate rooms. Our Kitchen Design service often reconfigures these older layouts to create more open spaces. We also provide Bathroom Design to update these smaller, divided primary baths. Homes near the Stonegate subdivision, built in the 1980s and 1990s, often feature unpainted oak trim and cabinetry that we address through our Furnishing & Styling and Color Consultation services.
What homeowners in Western Springs ask for
Homeowners in Western Springs often engage us for Kitchen Design to update 1920s and 1930s kitchens, which typically have small footprints and limited counter space. We also frequently provide Bathroom Design for 1950s and 1960s homes, where primary bathrooms often need to be reconfigured for better flow. Full-Home Design projects are common for homes built in the 1970s and 1980s that seek a more cohesive aesthetic throughout the entire house, including Living Space updates and Furnishing & Styling.
Kitchen Design work from the studio
Led by Jennifer Peterson from the Chicago studio
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.
