      Well done Carlo, you did a great job. I did laugh at Celines almost swear word 😂😂
      The coat looked good on you Nicki. I hope your brother improves with his intensive rehabilitation, my youngest sister was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and struggles with her mobility so I understand the frustration xx

    I think Carlo featured in short DIY segments would be popular. I was never taught the basics and I found Carlo explaining hos thought process about the repair educational.

      Carlo, what a big task for you to complete on your own. And now that it is clean and tidy, one less reminder of the former owner in your daily lives. Enjoy!

      Yes he does! Moving the previous owner's stuff to the shed, oh my goodness. Once escrow closed and I got the keys, I'd have given them 72 hours, *IF* I was feeling generous, to remove it, all. If they didn't do it, I would have donated or had the lot of it hauled off *and* I would have rehomed the tortoises!!!

  • @lukster79
    @lukster79 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +59

    Not sure how to word this without sounding weird but Carlo is the father figure everyone needs and this is coming from a 45 year old who hasn’t had a father since the age of 6. He’s Uber resourceful, knows how to fix everything, will teach you how to renovate an entire house (or almost) and keeps the brain sharp.

    • @MaxineShaw_84
      @MaxineShaw_84 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe you worded it just fine. Totally agree. Of course we only see what we're shown but he seems to also have also had a tremendous example in his own father. 🙏🏾It's somewhat healing to witness, even just via video in a different hemisphere.

    Nikk's mother's coat is timeless. Very fashionable. Not many husbands would take the initiative to clean up an area to make thier wife content. It is going to be a beautiful area that they will enjoy for many years to come. The view is priceless.

Harry looks great and I'm glad hes going to Tuscany soon. Celine is also such a bright note in your lives. You guys are amazing and we love you❤😊

      Hope you took the coat. I worked for Burberry in Geneva in 1989 and still have mine! It's vintage and classic and you look fantastic in your mum's coat. Love seeing your new home taking shape with all the love going into it.

    Your brother's positivity during such a difficult season of life is so inspiring. I am sending him love and healing vibes! The coat looks great on you and you should definitely take it. It doesn't do any good just hanging in the closet and it will be a nice reminder of her.

  • @hdragongirl7628
    @hdragongirl7628 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +51

    I would call the owners and give them a week to get their remaining stuff. If they don’t show up, to the dump it goes. That coat is a classic, never goes out of style. Love how the fireplace turned out. Much better now. Things are slowly coming together and looking great.

    Lovely to see your dad again. Wishing your brother all the best!!!

    Nicki your mother's coat is a collectible not only because it is a desirable coat but it is a family memory of your mom. All you need to do now is get your brother to Tuscany so you and Carlo can heal him with good Italian food. Carlo is a gem it is obvious the 2 of you love and respect each other. I laughed when I saw the pink color Carlo added to the wall. You 2 are priceless.

    Carlo, you remind me of my dad who passed over 30 years ago. He could fix anything and everything and was ALWAYS working on something. Watching you fixing so much stuff makes me so happy and makes me remember how great my dad was at doing all that stuff. Miss him so much!

    Well done Carlo for doing such a brilliant job of clearing the room and making it look lovely for Nicki 😇🪻🌷So good to see Harry looking as young as ever. I can empathise with Martin as my mobility has begun to really impact my recent active life; due to severe osteoarthritis 😢 I'm so glad Martin has been accepted on a fast track rehabilitation programme and I wish him the very best. Your house in Tuscany is coming on so well. Joy to all of you 🪻🌷✨🙏☘️

    Just a wee comment of encouragement and thanks to keep on going ! My adult son has recently discovered your channel while going through difficult times. He watches and listens to keep his anxiety down while he recovers from agoraphobia. Your videos have been a favourite of mine and my elderly disabled friend for a couple of years now. We watch to go places we may never step onto but thoroughly enjoy through your “eyes”. 💖🌺

    Your new home is really coming together. Loved what you did in the side building, Carlos. By cleaning some of the plants going round the window, you get to see such much more of that gorgeous view. It must be so ignoring that you still have stuff from the previous owners there. It's your home now, not theirs. I really hope your brother Martin Nicki goes from strength to strength . With his attitude, we know he'll make it to your home in Tuscany soon.

    @tiblanes 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +53

    Yes! To the trenchcoat. It will come in handy during Tuscany’s Spring rainstorms. So sorry for Martin’s health challenges. I wish him a full and speedy recovery. The scenes of your supper chez Celine were absolutely heartwarming. Good job on your filming Carlo! I really appreciate it when you speak Italian with English subtitles. It helps me learn more Italian vocabulary and authentic Italian pronunciation. Can’t wait to see your new kitchen. 😃

    Thank you to Martin for sharing his story. What a lovely guy. Saying a prayer that his healing is swift and he can get to Tuscany soon.
    The coat looks amazing, can be dressed up or down and I'm sure your Mum would rather it be used than sitting in a wardrobe.
    Carlo - it's good to improvise with tools to do a job, just like our parents would have had to do. You are gifted and so hardworking.
    Also loved seeing Celine's meal and the cocktails sound heavenly!
    Brilliant vlog, all round!

  • @suzebakker6909
    @suzebakker6909 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

    Watching your channel with your everyday life, sharing your families lives and end of life, it is heartfelt. You are so gifted and open...It's everything! At the beginning I felt as if I could press myself closer and take a walk on the property. The camera is welcoming. Thank you for allowing us to step into your life, to feel the emotions of family, of doing, creating something beautiful. You take us on walks with the dogs, to see the beautiful countryside of worlds I will never see. It is all so special.

    This message is for Martin....I was diagnosed with cml. I am not a candidate for hip surgery. Due to this at the time I could barely get around due to my hip problems. I started taking water therapy. It has helped me leaps and bounds. You might try looking into it. Water has no resistance. And believe me it helped measurable. I am now walking well on my two feet. Good luck Martin.

    During the scene with your brother, all I saw was two little kids playing. So beautiful he has you all to support him during his healing journey. Another amazing video to make my Sunday relaxing!

    In questi giorni di ponte, purtroppo non sto molto bene, e mi sto guardando tutti i vostri vecchi video del periodo di lookdown, e molti altri di quando eravate a Positano e facevate delle gite nei paesi vicini. Sono video che lasciano senza fiato per quanto sono belli, suscitano emozioni incredibili....le vostre raccolte in giardino, Luca che fa la passata, Ravello, santa Maria di castello, i make up di Nicki, le gite in kayak.....tutto meraviglioso,non ci sono parole per descrivere la bellezza che quei video trasmettono. Vorrei che fossero ancora così, perché da quando siete in Toscana, è cambiato tutto. Carlo, torna ....Positano e la tua casa aspettano te!!!

    Espresso Martini's and a classic Burberry Trench Coat given to your mother. A few of my favorite things. Nicki, you look great in that coat. Carlo did a wonderful job framing the windows with the pretty vines. I love to watch Holly and Indy enjoying their new country life. Much love and good wishes to your brother and hoping he fully recovers.💕

    I’m so glad that you explained your reaction to Carlos work in the porch. I couldn’t understand why you seemed unhappy with all the work he did to surprise you. Yes, it did seem ungrateful but I love seeing you both and you are always so supportive of each other. Such an upbeat happy channel. It brings me such joy to see your two homes now and all you achieve. I must admit that the Tuscany home is my favourite. So much potential. Bless you both xx

    Have been watching your diaries for years Nikki and Carlo, and absolutely LOVE them. You have the perfect formulae- dont e 28:16 ver change what you're doing. I do wish I had a husband like Carlo, who is such a worker, and is always wanting to please you and everyone, for that matter. He is an absolute treasure. Make sure you dont overdo it Carlo.

    Your fireplace looks truly amazing! What a transformation! I have never seen 2 people work so hard in my life! Clearly you love Reno projects and moreover , love the finished product!I think you should give the previous owners a deadline date to pickup their belongings and turtles..if they miss the deadline, then just donate everything. They do not seem like they are being fair with you, so you might have to get tough. Your house is coming along very nicely. I love to work hard and long hours doing reno projects myself, but the 2 of you are above and beyond!
    God bless your brother! Prayers that his therapy will reverse his situation.
    Keep your mom’s coat! In the USA, the new Spring/ Summer trend is Trench Coats! My daughter thinks they are a new creation and I just giggle because i lived through that trend in the 80s, and now it’s back! I have not seen a trench coat here in 40 years and now EVERYONE IS WEARING THEM!Keep it and wear it and treasure it since your dad gave it to your mom! Your dad is incredible! God bless you all! You are a lovely family!

    So glad Martin is on the mend and was able to get the right operation thanks to your Dad and that each will be visiting soon. Carlo was, as usual, sweetly thoughtful and industrious while you were away…clearing so you can appreciate the amazing view! Nikki you are darling with your beautifully done tresses spilling over that classic coat of your mothers, ready to take on those April showers or the next mystery renovation 🕵️‍♀️❤

    Keep the classic, Burberry! I bought one just like it in London while on a business trip in 1983. I wore it for years until it nearly crumbled. I was so proud that I could own it. 😊

    Yes, take the trench coat. It is completely timeless and looks fab on you. So pleased that your dad was able to step in to save your brother from what is supposed to be our wonderful NHS. I hope he has a speedy recovery. It will be lovely to see your dad in Tuscany soon. What lovely walks you'll go on together.

Great teamwork on the fireplace! It looks so nice. Carlo, your South Carolina hat sure has taken a beating with this remodel. Do I need to bring you another when we visit Marie next month?
