I just discovered this series and have to say that it was excellent. We get to meet Jean and her family plus we learn a bit about their personal history. As we move through the series there are several projects. We get to see the process as Jean and her daughter Grace offer options and proposals for the project they are working on. Jean and Grace really are a remarkable team and I love their sense of style. I do hope it is renewed for another season. The only thing that was thoughtless and dangerous was the fact that her son Dave never wore any safety equipment. Other than that, it was a great series and I recommend it to those who enjoy design programs.

Enjoyable Series

Jean and her family are very lovely, personable and well spoken. The Established Home has been an interesting and enjoyable series to watch. I would like to see them keep a bit more of the original details in each home and I admit I feel they tend more towards MCM and modern than I prefer. A little too many monochromatic rooms, dark ceilings, a little too much brass for me. But all in all, they do create beautiful spaces that appeal to a slightly younger crowd. I personally am more a fan of historic homes with character. I would love to see them tackle something 1920s/30s and show what they can do with preservation.
Standout new series on the Magnolia network

Ms. Stoffer is just a great host and with the support team being her family it is a pleasant way to spend the hour. They all have talent!
Talented, down to Earth, and Grand Rapids is a beautiful place to discover.
A reality show that is genuine without being sappy.
A real gem.

Please please please continue the series The Established Home Chip and Jo aka Magnolia Network. It's a Wonderful show that I look forward to watching and I know season three should be right around the bend.
Jean is so talented and innovative, her design sense is spot on and so timeless and classy.
It's a great spotlight on Grand Rapids and the midwest, an area alot of people don't know about.
It's my show that I look forward to watching with coffee or tea in hand, sometimes over and over because it's so well filmed and enjoyable.
Please don't cancel it!! Spread the word on The Established Home. It's the Martha Stewart show of this generation. Its a classic and it's torture knowing that season three is ready to go!!

My Design Mentors!

I am blessed to live just outside of Grand Rapids so I began watching the show as a result of it being local. I look forward to every new episode! Jean and Grace have mentored me from afar while remodeling my own home. I learn something new about lighting and design in every episode and love going to Stoffer Home and The Bradbury with my daughter to browse and gleam inspiration. We "Ooh" and "Aah" the whole time and always leave with something gorgeous you cannot get from Target or Amazon. Their style is timeless and elevated, yet very cozy. I just watched the Olives episode and can't wait to dine there now. How we feel in a space is directly tied to our mental health. It often flies under the radar, but the Stoffers have brought new light to its importance for me and my family.
Creative yet off.

Warning: Spoilers
I am impressed and inspired by the creativity of the host and her family, yet there's something so off I can't watch one more episode without feeling tension that makes it not worth it. 1. Privileged, self-centered, Kardashian style self promotional is over the top with a "because we've done everything right" feel. 2. Extensive changes to most of the houses that reflects control issues more than anything. Why move an historic, functional, well taken care of arch one foot, only to ruin the original molding, requiring duplicating instead of preserving and appreciating? It's not only wasteful but borders arrogance over trust, acceptance, appreciation, and ingenuity, for what is. If you're trying to create a home with loving vibes, maybe consider the vibes your choices are bringing.
