"My best house upgrade has been the kitchen, which I crafted from old doors sourced from the street. It has a custom feel with handmade reclaimed materials."
"I believe in reusing everything. With just a bit of paint, you can transform items and make them look appealing again."
"The interwar period brought elegant innovations; unlike post-WWII designs, which became severe and businesslike, I prefer the sophistication of the earlier era."
"My design style can be summarized as brocante, upcycled, and clustercore. I think clutter adds character to a home."
Helma has transformed her kitchen using old doors and reclaimed materials, prioritizing sustainability and a handmade aesthetic. She champions the idea of reusing items with a fresh coat of paint to create unique looks. Helma's design preferences lean towards the interwar period's elegance over the post-WWII norm. Describing her style as brocante and clustercore, she enjoys thrift shopping and recently acquired a compartmented wooden cupboard for her home in France, expressing a wish for a wisteria-laden pergola in the future.
