Jenn Peterson is an excellent designer and active listeners who ask for feedback, and have a very positive attitude in achieving excellence.Her construction team GS works seamlessly with her.Her ideas and contacts are top notch and points me in the direction of having not only the best quality materials but also many options instead of demands. No one wrote this for me and I'm happy to give Jenn Peterson the highest commendations. My renovations went very well thanks to Jenn. from Bea B. **★★★★★ — Kitchen and Bathroom, Oct. 2023** > It was a pleasure to work with Jenn from beginning to end. She is a good listener and quickly understood our needs and style. Gained from years of experience, her suggestions were helpful and spot on. She is a smart, creative, talented designer, a consummate professional, and an enjoyable person. Our project is wrapping up and it is beautiful and functions as we had hoped for. I highly recommend J. Peterson Design! You will thank yourself you did. **★★★★★ — James Pinderski, Sept. 2023** > My wife and I cannot begin to describe how much we enjoyed working with Jenn Peterson. We had never worked with a designer before and we were anxious about a first-floor remodel we had been dreaming about for years. Jenn listened closely to vision for the space and presented us with a plan that was everything we hoped it would be and more. She presented us options that were unique to our needs and has an incredible eye for detail and color that were letter perfect. The project moved forward on schedule and Jenn was always available to us and the contractors. > > What was a cramped and dark dining room, kitchen, living room and family room is now a large, bright and beautiful contiguous space. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Jenn is also a lovely person and fun to talk to. We would recommend her to anyone. **★★★★★ — HU-643769002, March 2023** > Jenn designed our primary bathroom remodel as well as updated our kitchen, designed our powder room and updated other details around our house to make it feel cohesive and fresh. She is responsive to clients’ needs and makes herself easily available for questions. She oversaw the entire renovation process so we never felt concerned on installation days. She referred us a wonderful and reliable contractor, making the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Jenn’s designs are timeless and she goes the extra mile to pick finishes and details specific to her clients’ taste. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to update their home! **★★★★★ — kberryhill11, May 2022** > We could not say enough great things about working with Jenn. She designed a beautiful kitchen for us! She was also professional and kind! A pleasure to work with. > Her team of contractors were great as well! Very professional and skilled! Great job, everyone! **★★★★★ — Bliss Hansen, Sept. 2021** > We loved working with Jenn. She did a great job listening and bringing all our ideas to life. She brought mine and my husband's vision together for the ultimate dream kitchen. I will never forget her presenting us with our kitchen design. IT was exactly what we wanted it. We loved it from the first minute we saw it on paper and now the we have it we love it even more. She did a great job pushing us outside our comfort zone to consider new things too. She and her contractor were amazing to work with. We would totally hire both of them again! Can't say enough of this dynamic duo. **★★★★★ — HU-690275259, May 2021** > Our decision to work with Jenn was the right one! She listened to our wish list for our kitchen and first floor remodel. She delivered a design that met our needs and exceeded our expectations. We absolutely love the finished product. Jenn remained involved throughout the entire project to make sure that everything was executed according to her design. In some cases, there were things we wanted that really didn't work with the final product. She gently nudged us in the right direction. In other cases, she guided us towards options that pushed us outside our comfort zone. And we are happy she did. Jenn was a joy to work with and we highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Janine Sanderson, Nov. 2020** > Knowing a kitchen remodel can be overwhelming, we knew we needed someone we could trust to help guide us and give us direction. Jennifer was exactly who we needed! We were impressed by her past projects and felt that she had the experience and personality to help us build our dream kitchen. Our project involved removing a wall and adjusting sizing of exterior windows and door. Her overall design and use of space was better than we could have imagined. Because she has had the experience she was able to breakdown the process for us so we knew what to expect and she kept in constant communication throughout the entire process. Jennifer had many connections already established in the home renovation world, from the construction crew to the cabinet maker to the plumbing fixtures and more. Knowing they have all worked together on previous projects, we didn't hesitate to use them as we knew the quality and craftsmanship were what we were looking for. The extra challenge of working through a pandemic didn't seem to phase her as she was on top of having us choose design details so that she could have the materials ordered and delivered in a timely manner. This was extra helpful as the construction crew was able to stay on schedule as well. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and can't thank Jennifer enough for guiding us through the process. So many details that we would not have even considered are now being fully enjoyed. Without hesitation we would recommend J. Peterson Design! **★★★★★ — Carol Taraszka, June 2020** > We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have worked with J. Peterson Design to remodel our kitchen and first floor. We can't say enough about the personalized attention, collaboration, and WITHOUT A DOUBT beautiful and timeless design. Because we had not previously done much in the way of remodeling, we were quite nervous to get started. But Jenn and her contractors put us right at ease. Working directly with Jenn, we received an amazing level of creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail in one package. While we had some ideas of things that we wanted, Jenn generously offered her expertise and suggestions and helped us to maximize our renovation budget. Jenn also knew just when to gently challenge us, which helped us to break some old bad habits that we are so glad to have left behind! We have now been in our new space for about a year and are so pleased with every inch of our remodel. We fell in love on Day 1 and have found we love it even more each day since! **Comment from J. Peterson Design, LLC:** > It was a pleasure to work on your kitchen project. I'm looking forward to the Master Suite remodel! **★★★★★ — Julie Canna, March 2020** > Jennifer was our designer for a full kitchen remodel and master bedroom/bath remodel, and we could not be happier with the results! The details in the kitchen and bathroom are fantastic, the changes suggested and resulting new layout are great, and every recommendation that Jennifer made was spot on. We are thrilled with the results and Jennifer was so patient with us through the entire process. Jennifer also made provided a recommendation for a GC and we had a fantastic experience with GS construction, we feel very lucky with how hard they worked to get the project done quickly. Jennifer has an amazing eye and is incredibly talented, everyone should partner with her. **Comment from J. Peterson Design, LLC:** > So great to work with you! I can't wait to get photos! **★★★★★ — Closet Factory Chicago, March 2020** > I have worked with Jen on two projects now (one an office and another with a master closet). I am a designer for a custom home organization company. She has been amazing to work with - extremely professional, collaborative, and thorough, Her clients are well prepared when we meet for our home organization spaces. I would love to continue working with Jen on additional spaces in the future! **★★★★★ — Alan Hardy, Jan. 2020** > Totally satisfied after a long interior remodeling project. The end results are beautiful! Hiring Jennifer as an interior designer was the best way to go. We decided that if we were going to invest money in home remodeling, why take any chances and do it ourselves. We have lived in the house over 20 years and were never totally satisfied with remodeling jobs we did on our own. Jennifer has a very keen eye for detail, perfection and trending styles. She also coordinates the construction crews for detail and timely completion. You can't go wrong here. Worth every bit of our time and money! ## Selected projects - [Modern Spa Bathroom Retreat in South Haven, MI](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-spa-bathroom-retreat-in-south-haven-mi-pj-vj~7560461) - Location: South Haven, MI - Photos: 3 - [South Haven Lakefront Retreat: Stunning Renovation on Lake Michigan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-haven-lakefront-retreat-stunning-renovation-on-lake-michigan-pj-vj~7559176) - Location: South Haven, MI - Photos: 20 - [Elegant Transitional Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-transitional-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~7560456) - Location: Palatine, IL - Photos: 6 - [Charming Coastal Kitchen and Spa-Like Bathroom in South Haven, MI](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charming-coastal-kitchen-and-spa-like-bathroom-in-south-haven-mi-pj-vj~7560458) - Location: South Haven, MI - Photos: 6 - Description: This stunning home renovation combines coastal charm and modern functionality, showcasing a custom-designed kitchen and bathroom.
