Happiness is found sat in the handmade kitchen of artist, stylist and author @helmabongenaar discussing her recipe for Plum Clafoutis 🥧. While drinking lashings of coffee from her antique French café au lait bowls. ☕️ Incredibly Helma, who is the founder and editor of @sentimental_journal_magazine , cooks up a storm in this neat corner of a kitchen, her supper clubs are legendary in Amsterdam and alongside her infatuation with collecting antiques and found things, the simple treasure of sitting here in this alluring space and hearing her talk about food is quite simply nirvana. 💙 The brass oven hood was inspired by the 1970s when it was fashionable to use brass, Helma bought the brass sheets from an online second-hand store and folded them to create the shape. All of the cupboards in the kitchen are remade from doors found in skips and building sites across Amsterdam. The sink was found online and the piece of marble behind was given to them by a friend. The tiles on the floor are also from a friend in France and were swapped for a rug that Helma made from vintage blankets. The glass panels above are made from doors given to them by friends.
