In the vibrant Fredericton, NB area, a couple embarked on an exciting journey to create their dream business, Holland Homes. Jenna and her husband, Steve, founded this full-service design, remodel, and construction company with a singular vision. In a marketplace where design and construction rarely intersected, they quickly endeared themselves to the community by sharing their unique approach to home-building through social media. Their commitment to transparency allows potential clients a glimpse into their daily work, where design and construction process improvements are always a priority. With the establishment of a dedicated team and efficient systems, Jenna and Steve aim to create an enjoyable experience for their clients.
Part of the experience includes installing fine details as the finishing touch. One of the standout features of Jenna and Steve's home became the door hardware sourced from Viaggio Hardware. Jenna was drawn to the brand for its European craftsmanship and solid brass material. For her home, she selected the Quadrato rosette paired with the Circolo knob in Satin Nickel. This elegant combination bridges traditional charm and modern sophistication, perfectly matching the overall aesthetic of her home.
The journey from planning to completing their home took about a year—a process filled with learning and discovery. Jenna was quick to recommend that door hardware should never be an afterthought; when chosen thoughtfully, it can significantly elevate the home’s design. Her love for the details in the entry set and hinges led her to plan to use Viaggio's hardware for future projects.
Jenna’s design style reflects a warm and organic sensibility infused with traditional elements inspired by the old world. Using materials like marble, linen, and wool, she constructed a home with an earth-tone palette, rich in character thanks to its intricate trims and moldings.
Her inspiration often roots itself in the natural world, fueling her creativity as she explores colors and materials reminiscent of the great outdoors. Travel, historical literature, and the captivating narratives of movies and TV shows—particularly historical dramas—also play a pivotal role in shaping her vision. Jenna chuckled about how her recent obsession with “Downton Abbey” had influenced the design of their last home.
Jenna’s advice for anyone considering or currently building a home was simple: take your time with the design. Floor plans and finishes should reflect personal style and everyday life. For those looking to transform their spaces, she encouraged taking risks—sometimes, it only takes a fresh coat of paint or a new fixture to breathe life into a room.
Looking ahead, Holland Homes is brimming with potential. Plans for multiple new-build projects are in the works for 2025 and 2026, and Jenna’s design team is busy crafting exciting remodels. After a successful new venture, the couple launched Shoppe Holland Home, an online collection of carefully curated decor, furniture, and lighting designed to elevate the beauty and functionality of homes throughout the community. The journey of Holland Homes is just beginning, and Jenna and Steve are excited to see where it will lead.
