Publisher's summary

What is your unique path to a more beautiful and fulfilling life? Walk alongside award-winning designer Jean Stoffer as she chronicles her own surprising, unhurried journey and be encouraged that there’s plenty of time to discover yours.

When Jean Stoffer’s husband announced he was quitting his extremely stressful job to look for another career, she suddenly needed to bring in a lot more of the family income. The problem was, while she had a degree in business, her part-time job paid very little and she had few obvious options for earning more anytime soon. In Establishing Home, Jean tells how necessity sparked her journey from part-time receptionist to founder of an award-winning home design company and star of the Magnolia Network’s show, The Established Home. Along the way, she shares what’s she learned about design, business, parenting, and relationships.

In Establishing Home, Jean will:

  • Inspire you to discover a dream you didn’t know you had
  • Reassure you that whether you’re building a career, raising a family, or redoing your home, it’s okay to slow down and enjoy the journey
  • Teach you practical ideas for combining work and family—and how to work in harmony with adult children
  • Reveal her pro tips for making your home a beautiful place to be

Any home—and life―can become even more beautiful with a little bit of heart.

One of my favorites

Jean Stoffer’s story is one that I truly enjoyed. As a young wife and mom with a deep interest in home design I’ve deeply enjoyed listening to and learning from her story.

Loved this

I really loved this. At times I wasn’t 100% sure what the book was- autobiography, design tips or advice/how to - but I enjoyed all of it. If you enjoy her show and style, you’ll love the book. Of note, she discusses her religion a good bit. Not an issue at all but just mentioning it in case it isn’t someone else’s cup of tea. Definitely recommend though.

Like a coffee chat with Jean!

Love love loved hearing Jean’s story! I knew she was an incredible designer, but this also gave us a peak into her journey and best of all, her perspective on slow design, thoughtful motherhood and steadfast faith. A thoughtful leader, business owner, designer, and mother! Loved hearing her story and hearing her tell it was like we were chatting over coffee at the Bradbury. Highly recommend!

Very uplifting and encouraging

The author does a superb job narrating her story with an authenticity and transparency that is refreshing and uplifting. She allowed me to look at my own life path and consider the eternal value in what I’ve poured my life and energies into. There is also a humility about her that is so genuine and grounded. Additionally, her advice and tips are practical and relatable. As I prepare to undertake my own major remodel project, I’m glad to have heard her this book first! I would highly recommend this book.
