Thanks for watching the video ITALIAN VINTAGE MARKET BARGAINS & HOUSE HUNTING AGAIN?
Yes to more home tours & searching for treasures in the open markets!!! Can we clone Carlos for all my single friends? PLEASE!!!
Hi Carlo here, cloning me for your friends but not for you? You are incredibly selfless!😁😅💕😘👋
@@NickiPositano 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😂😂😂😂😂 Agreed
@@lb8141😂😂😂
@@NickiPositano Well, dear Carlo..... I am not selfless, but, I am old enough to be your MOTHER and I don't think my husband would like the idea..... But, a girl can dream!! HA!!
I am from Japan and we call the doll Monchichi. It was part of a cartoon series, Futago no Monchhichi. Then Mattel bought the doll license for the toy line in 1980.
My sister had a Monchichi in the 80s
Came here looking for this comment! “monchhichi means happeniness!”.
Monchichi, monchichiii!!! Sooo soft and cuddly!!!
Yes! Monchichi
The house and its surroundings are so much prettier than when you moved in. You really had a vision and you have achieved it. Your use of second hand furnishings is inspiring. I wish the younger members of my family would do the same instead of only buying high end labels. I will be selling my house and moving into something smaller. I hope to use things I have but might use something new old. Thanks for making Sundays better.
It’s a no from me on the house tour idea, have to admit, 😅 fast forwarded that part - to me, looking at houses is boring!!
Instead, couldn’t you do a series on local foods and Tuscan traditions? I would love that!! More drone footage too!
Love your videos, we watch them every Sunday evening, and watch Elizabeth’s vlog straight after!
Watching you is such a vibe! Sunday is for Nicki! Everyone needs a Carlo in her life!
Every man needs a Nicki!
I don’t want your shows to end …I could watch them forever! so beautiful …your home…the scenery…your projects…your personalities…I look so forward to Sunday’s to see your new show…❤️❤️❤️much love from USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ditto. I look forward to Sundays because of your videos!
I love these stories 🤗❤️
That side board if it’s actually southeast Asian given its colour and weight you might have got your hands on teak
You guys have done wonders to your Tuscan home! I bet the previous owners are kicking themselves! You leave no stone unturned and Carlo has that magic touch to transform anything. Every week I’m wondering “what have Nicki and Carlo been up to this week?”❤
I had to pause and say... as a real estate professional, I LOVE the house tours! I could watch you tour Italian homes ALL DAY! Thank you to Alessio for allowing you to film.
Iammfrom dublin love your progràmyòare airline after my own heart I love antiges
Wow!
The way you are together is exactly the way my husband and I were! Tim was like Carlos always keeping busy creating or fixing “up” something around the house or yard! We loved doing it together or individual projects! Makes me so happy watching your togetherness! ❤❤❤
The “porch” furniture that you once thought ugly, is now beautiful! It all looks cohesive and inviting.
It really turned out nice. Can’t wait to see it with the new cushions ⭐️
Carlo coming to your rescue with the folding umbrella reminded me of a video I saw yesterday of three men trying to fold up a baby carriage to put in the trunk of the car. After 15 minutes of struggling, a woman walked by, saw their dilemma, and with the push of one button, the carriage collapsed and then she just walked away. It was so funny!
The cabinet with the carvings on the doors is a real find! You're lucky someone else didn't snap up that beauty.
Maybe that top shelf is where you should put your mother's Emmy nominations?
P.S. Loved the house tour!
You channel is the one I most look forward to seeing every Sunday. I just love getting to see the countryside and the markets and all the shops. Love watching you renovate your new home. It is so lovely 💜💜💜
I love watching you both decorate and make the home your own. Please keep these kind of vlogs coming, I love them
Wow the wall around the front looks like it's always been there, really makes a difference.
Everyone needs a Carlo in their life. Like he said, he could have waited until the next day but choose to do it right away! Yay Carlo! You two sure work the magic, what a team!
Now I see where you got your talents! Your mum! Your videos are excellent and I luv when you decorate your rooms and change them 4 times. Your husband is adorable and very talented with his outdoor work. I look forward to your videos.
Lightning guy: buy shelves and put ‘em up! Fabulous! No beating round the bush for Carlos.
Love it! Your home and gardens are looking fabulous with everything coming together so naturally. Carlos’ new wall blends in so perfectly. It’s an absolute delight to go with you through your days. The new cupboard and shelves are meant to be. You both certainly have the gift of transforming a house into a home of comfort and colour! The little office space near the stairs fits you Nicki, like a glove. Altogether Lovely! Thank you! 🩷🩷
Appreciate how kind you are to each other while creating your home.
"I am a Chik-a-boo! I don't know that!". Oh my God Carlo, you are the sweetest man ever!!! So funny!
Sitting outside in my garden pretending I’m in Italy. What a perfect way to enjoy my coffee on a Sunday. And yes!! More properties.
Love your new piece in the kitchen. His and her matching junk drawers is brilliant lol👍
Made me laugh with the drawer liners. My mom even used them in kitchen cabinets.
Yay! 34 minutes long! 😊 Thank you for posting each week. It's fun watching you both work together to accomplish so much. Your house and property are looking so beautiful.
I was so happy when I saw it was over 30 minutes.
Nicki, anything you decide to film, it'll be great. Houses for sale are a real pleasure. You have a great talent for telling stories and giving us such a rich view of Italian and English life, so do whatever is expedient and enjoyable for yourself. The apple didn't fall far from the tree, so if there are awards for TH-camrs, you'd be nominated. ...And your house is looking amazing.
Such a nice memory of your Mums Prime time Emmy awards! I’m glad you have them. 🤗
Carlos has done a great job on the small outer wall. I think the color green you decided on is perfect. It’s just all coming along so beautifully. Enjoy❤️
Happiness is Sunday morning coffee watching the Positano and Tuscan Diaries. ❤☕️☀️🇮🇹🍝 love from California
Its good that you can both laugh at the negative comment's on your channel. The colour of the cabinet you purchased is the perfect size and colour for your kitchen.
I love your husband's smile and to hear him speak Italian.
How about a tour of Carlo’s workshop?
It's great to hear Italiano spoken. I live in an area where no one speaks it. So your channel, Nicki and Carlo, are helping me keep it alive in my heart!! The YT language videos are too formal, they just don't cut it for me!! Carlo, mi piace quando vai da italiano a inglese , che ridere!! Bravo!!
Wow, Nicki!! The opening of Bach's "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor," impressive!!
tutt' a posto, buona sera
Chuck in Northern New England
Loving the new darker shade of green on the doors, the greater contrast looks fabulous 🥂
I love that we get these videos when we wake up in Australia on a Monday morning, its such a great way to start the working week. I make myself a coffee, go back to bed with my laptop and watch the video while I slowly wake up, its just puts you in a good mood!
I love how the wood of the shelves matches that at cabinet! I would not paint them!😊
I second this
Yes...maybe just tap a bit of stain on the new ends and leave them as is!
Top shelf just a little off,
@@kathleenknox3407 It’s nailed to a wider area than the bottom shelf. I saw that also. But they are beautiful. Stunning cabinet as well. What finds 👏👏👏👏
Goes good with the kitchen cabinets
Yes please more home tours of Tuscan homes for sale plus sale price please. Thank you both for your delightful posts each week and you’re a good example of a well balanced partnership, bravo.
Also, Carlos looks like one of those Grecian women bringing water to the village with that amphora on his shoulder. He's so graceful! 😂❤
The previous owners would nit recognise the beautiful home you've made of the neglected house you bought..
It is so characterful & traditional thanks tonyour hard work & vision.
They did you a favour by neglecting it because you had to start from scratch to make it your own.
So many lovely pieces of furniture gleaned from the markets & all complement the house.
The outside space is transformed with the warm colours & planting..such a lovely place to live..
Nicki so lovely to honour your Mother by sharing about her career, & having her awards in pride of place.
Love your office space with the amphora, the greatly improved garden wall, the charming chest now holding pasta and the shelves. It’s so fun to watch Carlo with his creative solutions and his enthusiasm for starting and finishing each project. Your outdoor furniture that I thought had no future looks at home with the chalk paint. Thank you for allowing so many of us to accompany you, Carlo and the puppies through the green countryside and joining you in a cafe now and then. Living in Mexico, I long for Italian food, the beautiful produce and many plants that don’t grow in this hot climate.
Yes seeing the stairs from that angle sold me on stairs without the previous railing. Although I would NOT be able to climb them….but that’s neither here nor there.
Hola from Lake Chapala! Boy has it been hot here this Spring!! ;)
I love how you can see what a space in your house needs and make it happen. Carlos is such a help!
My Sunday is not complete without watching Positano Diaries! Sometimes I forget and try to watch on Saturday and then I’m bummed I have to wait 24hrs. I love seeing all the markets and second hand items. I do enjoy watching the house tours. I dream of living in Europe.
Love the way you have transformed your home in such a short amount of time. It has evolved so much.
I think you two have a touch, how to make a house a home. Lovely.
Also I did like seeing the property. I'm not sure how much it was but I would like it if you wanted to show us more.
Loved spending Sunday with you, thank you
Fun day at the market! Can someone please go back there, purchase many items from that table displaying the beautiful green glasses and vases, and then ship them to me? Gorgeous! 😊 Your tenacity paid off with finding the right green for the outside of the doors. So pretty! Green is my favorite color! Today was just for me. 🤣. And all your projects are coming along so nicely. Obviously, you two are an effective team! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Lovely video.
Again Carlo, you did a marvelous job with your renovations on the wall and box out front, along with the plantings. The Ampule Vase with plant at the foot of the stairs looks lovely, and Nicki's cozy, comfy office nook looks great. Molte gracie a Signor Alessio for your patience and support in helping Nicki and Carlo purchase their beautiful home! Also, that was a pleasant surprise that Nicki can play 🧛♂ Bach 🎹🎶at the beautiful villa Signor Alessio showed you. Jenny
Carlos made a really nice addition to the front of the house , a nice match. Can't believe how the book shelves went up so fast.
Love seeing homes , keep it up.
The green door colour is perfect Nicki!!Perfect!Love your desk area.
It sure is, but i also noticed that below the windows are wooden sills (on the outside)
LOVED the house tour! Yes please more house tours! We are interested in buying in Tuscany too!
Your home is lovelier each week. I love the colors and decor you have chosen. Beautiful!
Wow. You are a vintage shopping dream team. Between Carlo’s vase and your southeast Asian cabinet, you are totally winning on the best finds. I wish I was as good as you both at shopping vintage markets.
Loved the view through the doors of Carlo putting up the new shelves 🍃
2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Italy 🇮🇹 each day is THE BEST with you Nicki Carlo Holly and Indie. Market
Day, shades of green around your Tuscany home looks stylish upmarket, buying furniture, the huge urn planter. A day filming for the realtor and what a building to market. Outstanding. This has made my day.
Thank you ❤❤...😊
I love "snooping" in other people's houses. So fun to see the old styles.
Always such a pleasure to watch you build this home together.
You have such a good eye for design! It is so inspiring to see how all the nooks are coming together. It must really start to feel like home now. The umbrella scene had me in stitches! It is lovely to see how much fun you are now having. 😂❤
I am amazed at how you have transformed that house into such a welcoming pretty home. The color green you mixed for trim is perfect for the terracotta or peach of the walls. The little wall with foundational planting has come alive. You both have such a good eye for enhancing your surroundings.
Blessings. To you both. As usual o hey so happy to see a new Sunday video. You. Are. The best couple on you tube with an awesome adventure to share. Thank you for bringing us all along. Much 💖💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍🌸🌸💕💖💖💕💖💕🌸🌸☮️☮️💚
My husband and I love your channel. We enjoy seeing all of Carlo’s jobs around the house and to see your progress decorating it all. The second hand furniture is wonderful and we envy your choices there. It is really looking great! We would enjoy seeing more properties in that area if you have the chance to see them. You both do a great job filming too, we appreciate how much work goes into giving us these videos every week. We look forward to seeing that small view into your lives and adventures. Thank you!
No, Carlo is more handsome than the doll!
Crying my eyes out, I had no idea about your mother! 😭😭😭 Thank you for talking about her. Now more people know who she was and what she did. Thank you!
The copper kettle and amphora Carlo picked out are wonderful, and how beautiful the amphora looks in your little study area. It's beautiful! Markets are one of my favourite things to visit in the Summer where I live, and your market looks exceptional. Such a great way to spend the day. The chest and shelves are a perfect touch for the kitchen area. Carlo has a great eye for re-doing things and fixing that wall & the "ugly" box lol, just ties the outside all together. As for the Villa - I have no words except that it's such an incredible piece of art, beauty, and history wrapped up in one.
I loved that copper bin he picked up ❤
So much to love in this vlog! The new wall Carlo improved, the vase (amphora?). Where did the copper container go though? That was beautiful as well. The patio furniture in it's new color (painting definitely better than refinishing), the new cabinet and shelves, and that home for sale! Oh my, the marble sink, the original bread oven, the frescoes! Amazing place. I'd love to see more tours. The pizza looked pretty darned good to me!
What a fun video Nicki! Market shopping, a thrift score, transformative home projects, sweet and funny moments with you and Carlo and a fabulous property tour. I love it all, the addition of the property tour was interesting and very satisfying to come along for. And I am envious of that gorgonzola pizza- it looked scrumptious. 🙂 I look forward to next week's edition. Thank you!
Love how you and Carlo are making this home your own! Agree that the unpainted shelves look great with the cabinet. They also balance the shelves on the wall to the left. Yes, would enjoy visiting other properties with you! 🥰🥰
Nicki,
Gorgeous little hutch!
Get a skateboard or a four wheel plant Base.
It will transport these items, and not scratch the floor.
Protecting your backs
Use rubber glovesbto grip,
And a back support belt.
Love to you both!!!
Nicki and Carlo your house is really starting to look like home and can’t wait for the patio cushions to come back recovered.
Your house is beautiful with flowers, the painting, Carlos’ wall, etc.
Well that’s a lovely day out 🌻👋I enjoy going around the market 🌻👋👋👋
So many beautiful changes. When you’re all done if you wanted to show a before and after of the house/different rooms, that would be great. We could really see all the changes, because it’s all so beautiful truly!
I love the desk there as well but now I need to go back & see where the long table is now.
You should finish that new furniture you bought with tung oil. It will restore and bring out the wood’s natural beauty and protect it. Tung oil is the best! Pizza looked great. You are both so cute! Have a great week!❤😂🎉
Love catching up with you. The errands, walking your property, thrifting, house hunting all fun. Amazed how many tools Carlo has.
That chest is perfect, compliments the kitchen units very well. Carlo's changes to the wall and other bits makes that area so much nicer. And that's a very interesting villa. Now if I had the spare cash... 😄
I love the house tours. I love the painting, I love the shopping. I love the shelf hanging. Wall building and pizza eating. 😁 Thank you for another lovely video. Love from Toronto 🇨🇦😊💜
I know I say it every time, but it’s true - I really enjoyed this video! The outside of your house has been transformed, it is just lovely! And the inside: every week, we see new and attractive touches. This video highlighted how warm and inviting your house has become! You have an excellent eye for design. Nikki! And I love how Carlo is as invested in it as you are. You both have done a marvelous job!
Really enjoyed the tour of the listed property, very interesting!
Love how Carlo finished the wall to match. it looks great! Have you considered painting the black security doors? Perhaps the pretty green color Nicki settled on? Or white to match the posts? Perhaps you could add some decorative metal pieces like olive branches, etc., like you had on the stairwell railing you removed? Just thinking out loud. Loved the cabinet you found and the shelves above. I love watching you both fix up your home. An occasional estate home tour is ok, but really I enjoy just watching you living your life and fixing up your home.
I always look forward to my Sunday mornings with Nicki, Carlo, Holly and Indie, I find your videos so relaxing. Cheers from Canada!
I would normally agree about too much wood but in this case I think it's all working really well. It's so suited to Tuscany and yet not overly so. Your style has come together so nicely, I don't believe if you had gone and bought every thing new from a decorator shop it would have turned out so beautifully. Aloha from Hawaii🌴🍍🌺 Are there other subscribers from Hawaii?
Yes. Yes. On the. Sage. Green. Color. Excellent. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Carlos's purchase of the vase looks perfect for the place you put it. He greatly improved the look of the little wall outside. Your color for the doors is perfect. The cabinet and shelves are just the right thing. I loved this video and I am envious of how you can buy quality old furniture and things for your house. There is no such thing where I live in Texas.
I really enjoyed your humour, especially when you pretended to pay Carlos at the beginning of the video. You’re both a lovely couple and you compliment each other. ❤ Thank you for bringing us along with you on your journey to building your life in Tuscany. I agree with everyone, it would be nice to see more house tour in your area.
Carlo 😂😂😂 Love the market!!! Thanks for taking us along. 🇺🇸💜
Love your chatty hubby, he brings good vibes whatever you go 😄
Carlo is hilarious! I love his work ethic and matter-of-fact sense of humor. I make pizza at home because nothing tastes as good as my own. Plus, I can make it for a tenth of the price. It's the original fast food. The house is lovely. The frescos took my breath away. Thanks for another glimpse of Italy that no outsider could or would ever see. Have a delightful week. God bless.
In Italy the Chicaboos are called Monciccì (from the original Japanese Monchicchi), "la fortuna è averti quì/lucky is having you here" (so the advertisement said)!
Here in Germany they are called Monchichi too😊
In the US also!! I loved these as a child ❤
The theme song for Monchichi has taken up a section of my long term memory since the 1980's. I can't remember high school math, but Monchichi, Monchichi, oh so soft and cuddly//with their thumbs in their mouths they're really neat//it's fun to wiggle their little feet//la la LA...la LA LA...HAPPY HAPPY MONCHICHI....*that's* stuck in the long term brain storage for life, apparently. :D
@@conifercrow🤣
Yes! That’s what they’re called!!!
Carlos is doing a great job on the garden wall and you found a great accent piece for that small wall in the kitchen.
I think when you have time in the future, it would be even more beautiful if you can sand it down and re-stain it.
I think also a nice acrylic painting above the cabinet or a mirror would look nice.
Everything is coming along lovely
Just Magic.
Your home in Tuscany is becoming more and more intimate with your style and attention to detail .Thank you for bringing us along and sharing that experience . With found treasures and hard work you are creating the set in which your lives and relationship dwells .The joy its bringing you both jumps out at us. Thank you.
More house tours please and food too.My Sunday is off to a good start Nicki and Carlo are having a blast.!!!!
The outdoor furniture looks great with the paint colour you chose. Everything is looking good.
That's a lovely day out! I wish I lived there it's such a beautiful place and your so lucky to live there! 💖🌹
Loved the choice of music for the umbrella 'situation'. So funny.
The house looks so good, you both have done so much work to make it look wonderful now!
Perfect shade of green, you have a great eye for decorating. I love the house tours, I hope you continue :)
Your place is really turning into a lovely home. Each improvement you make, big or small is having an impact and becoming Nicki and Carlo. Love, love, love it. Yet please to market day shopping and fun home tours.
The old house is stunning! 🤩 I am jealous! Please more. And vintage markets as well, as long we cannot eat with you. 😉 Bon appetito!
I love everything Italian so, the countryside, towns, the vintage market and food all perfecto entertainment! A man that knows how to do most everything around the house is GOLD, bravo to Carlo for all you do. The Tuscany house is coming along so nicely, you both have good visions on what to do, it looks lovely- good paint colors Nicki. The home tour was a nice surprise, of course do it again, please. Thank you both for sharing your adventures with us, it is a much needed escape from a often stressful life. Blessings 2u always.
I love the green colors you finally settled on. I love the cabinet you found, and the bookshelves look perfect above it.
I couldn't help but think that the villa would be so nice for Celine. With that professional kitchen, she could cater and host all sorts of events there. Also, I love the little office space!
I loved that marble sink
Your house is so beautiful! It makes me happy to see the progress ❤🎉 Thank you for sharing.
Yes, to going to the markets and more home tours. I love what you're doing with your home as well! Sundays are for Nicki and Carlo and of course the dogs!!!
LOVELY!...So much fun, when it's shopping time with my favorite couple on YT. Thank you! for making Sundays a time to hangout in Italy.
Love the little office by the stairs.. looks like it was always there
Love your new "office" area! The big vase looks perfect there, too! Oh! And the kitchen shelves and cabinet are great. You two just keep making your new place better and better. Loving it! (And I'm sure you are, too!) 💗
I love, love, the new cupboard. Stripped and waxed it would blend with your kitchen just a little better. The exterior paint colour is perfect! Altogether your new home is looking lived in :) The house tour? What a magnificent place ...
Everything you do is beautiful. I always enjoy your trips to the markets and resale shops. Loved the real estate tour.
What a huge difference you have both made to your home the inviting front porch.
Hahaha, I love how you keep mocking the haters. It absolutely serves them right. 😊
And I love getting to see the Sunday market at Vicopisano. I don't have any markets like that near me here in my city, so I live vicariously through you! Thank you for taking us along!
