Tis the season to be merry and bright, and nowhere is the holiday spirit more evident than in interior designer Jean Stoffer’s home transformed for the holidays. Her Grand Rapids residence has become a festive haven that marries sophistication with the warmth of the holiday season. The exterior exudes a classic elegance, with a wreath adorning the doors , and the soft glow of string lights framing the arch. This inviting outdoor area invites visitors to step inside and experience the enchantment within.
Once inside, it’s clear that Jean Stoffer’s design prowess extends to her own home which is a testament to her impeccable taste and attention to detail. The living room , with a towering Christmas tree adorned with glistening ornaments, ribbon, and delicate lights is warm and welcoming. The fireplace mantle is a focal point, featuring stockings and garland.
A masterpiece of holiday style is evident in the dining room. A dark wood table, set with fine china, crystal, and seasonal centerpieces create a dining experience that is as visually pleasing as it is inviting .
A tastefully created wreath hanging on the window adds a touch of festive elegance to the beautiful kitchen,
Even the butler’s pantry gets a festive touch.
The Madison dressed for the holidays is a true testament to her ability to infuse sophistication and warmth into every space she touches.
The holiday decorations are not merely a display of seasonal cheer but a reflection of Stoffer’s commitment to creating environments that resonate with the spirit of the occasion.
The bedrooms and private spaces continue the holiday theme with subtle touches that evoke a sense of comfort and joy.
From carefully placed holiday accents to thoughtfully chosen linens and decor, every room is a sanctuary of seasonal serenity.
Visiting The Madison during the holidays is an experience that goes beyond the visual appeal—it’s a celebration of the magic that can be woven into the very fabric of a home by a talented designer like Jean Stoffer.

More AboutA HAPPIER LIFE
With “her signature warmth and Southern charm” (E! Online), the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Songbirds and the Peachtree Bluff series presents a tender and touching novel about a young woman who discovers the family she has always longed for when she spends a life-changing summer in North Carolina.
Present Day: Keaton Smith is desperate for a fresh start. So when her mother needs someone to put her childhood home in Beaufort, North Carolina, on the market—the home that Keaton didn’t know existed until now—she jumps at the chance to head south. But the moment she steps foot inside the abandoned house, she’s confronted with secrets about grandparents who died in a car accident before she was born. And as she gets to know her charming next-door neighbor, his precocious ten-year-old son, and a flock of endearingly feisty town busybodies, she soon finds she has more questions than answers.
1976: After meeting her adoring husband Townsend, Rebecca “Becks” Saint James abandoned the life she knew and never looked back. Forty years later, she’s made a name for herself as the best hostess North Carolina has ever seen. Her annual summer suppers have become the stuff of legend, and locals and out-of-towners alike clamor for an invitation to her stunning historic home. But she’s struggling behind the façade. Becks strives to make the lives of those around her as easy as possible, but this summer she is facing a dilemma that even she can’t solve. And as the end of the season looms, she is brought to a decision she never wanted to make.
As both Keaton and Becks face new challenges and chapters, they are connected through time by the house on Sunset Lane, which has protected the secrets, hopes, and dreams of the women in their family for generations. For fans of Summer of ‘69 and The Notebook, A Happier Life explores the power of family, the bonds of friendship, and the boundless nature of love.
