In our first series, we renovate a townhouse in a village in the southern tip of Apulia, Italy while learning the trade of TH-cam:ing.
Carl and Helen have worked as a tight team for many years building and renovating mainly in Sweden and the UK. They bring a lot of experience to the table while having a genuine passion for people and life.
She is a self-taught Architect and qualified Interior Designer and has had the role of project coordinator in large multi-residential projects.
He brings decades of experience as a contractor and builder, making him a 1-stop-expert to have onboard.
Although both of them are very comfortable working on large scale developments, their passion is working on their own projects. They have worked with digital drawings and animations to help visualize for clients in the past. So for this next chapter of their lives, they had this idea: ”Let’s try to use our skills in a TH-cam format!”

Perfectly framing the ENTRANCE :: Final touches to the walkway #walkway
Perfectly framing the stepping stones :: Final touches to the walkway #walkway
✨ Welcome to our journey of transforming our house entrance into a space that feels as inviting as it is enchanting. For years, we’ve dreamed of creating an entrance that sparks warmth and curiosity-both for visitors and those simply strolling by.
The inspiration for this project came on a magical evening a few years ago. During a walk in a nearby town, after a delightful dinner, we stumbled upon a charming little house with an iron gate leading to a picture-perfect garden. That moment stayed with us, and ever since, we’ve been determined to bring a touch of that charm to our own home.
This project wasn’t without its challenges (those pesky little rocks between the stepping stones had a mind of their own!), but we’re so excited to share the process, the obstacles we overcame, and the final result with you.
Hit play and join us on this creative journey-your own entrance makeover might just be inspired next!
💬 Let us know what you think in the comments-we’d love to hear about your favorite outdoor spaces and what inspires you!
What do you think? Should we tweak anything further? 😊

Our house is no exception! We do however not accept that it has to be this way, and...

I don't get it. ... So "dryzone" is a product name? And then what? That does what? It doesn't look like a permanent solution. The humidity is coming from somewhere. As long as the source of the humidity is not taken care of, won't it just come back?
@@Pilot333 Hi! Thanks for commenting. The product is called DRYZONE, yes. The product is squeezed into the walls and makes the porous material less permeable. When dryzone comes in contact with water it crystallyzes and forms a water barrier. At least that’s how it’s supposed to work. We will see results later and post an evaluation. It might not be so clear in the short. Please watch the full video on our channel.
Beautiful!
Happy New Year! You've started the new year off terrifically! Another great DIY video. Thank you!
our TH-cam channel video has a bad SEO score of Due to this your subscribers and views are not increasing, and the titles, descriptions, and keywords SEO should be done correctly only then you will get good results. the same problem in Video every.
Such a lovely, tranquil space! I think a permeable hardscape would have been preferable. Maybe large flagstones, gravel or other type of rock as ground cover. The tree roots extend as wide underground as the tree canopy is wide so irrigation shouldn't be just around the trunk. Also it is much healthier for the earth to not be covered in concrete...🙂
You’re right, that would’ve been a beautiful solution.
Beautiful!
Love this!! Thanks for inspiring us to dream👋💯
Thank you for the Lentil Soup recipe! Gonna make it soon!
Hey! If just found out your youtube channel. I'm Erik a 22 yr old architect student who also likes fixing and building things.

Mitsubishi makes great ACs. lovely installation video by the way. I love how rigid the shelves are when you're mounting the indoor unit. P.S: don't buy the CXP versions, they're just rebadged Gree ACs. YXP Inverter series is original from Mitsubishi, though :) :)
