    I love that Carlo is doing things when the wife is gone. He's putting his own stamp on the house and he's being creative all on his own. LOVE IT - keep it up Carlo!!!! The porch turned out amazing. The chairs..I would paint the wood and change the covers and add pillows. This is a perfect lesson to all of us that we need to let go of control and let others flourish in their own way vs our way.

      It's Carlos first house that is really his, same for Nicki? The house in Positano, I think is owned by his family? The low wall turns the covered terrace into a beautiful, cozy surround. It looks like it was there forever. Nicki, maybe just a little controlling? Ya theenk? Just redo the cushions, maybe refinish the wood? So gratifying for Carlo, he can get things done without the old lady trying to boss him around.

      Holly is too cute, always right there to help Poppa! Carlo should get her a little tool backpack. Such a sweet loving man, he takes such good care of his whole family. Nicki is a very lucky lady, a man who can do seemingly just about anything he sets his mind to. Carlo is an artist, Bravo Carlo, much respect, and love to you and Nicki in your LA Dolce Vida!

    I have to say @NickiPositano I am very impressed by the viewer engagement on this video. Quite the hornet’s nest and a very clever way to get the viewers commenting and communicating. True, it has come at your expense, however I appreciate your courage at sharing your lives so openly and honestly. There are countless perfectly curated and overly positive TH-cam videos which often show only the highlights reel of a life but your lives in these videos are documented in ways many long lasting couples can relate to. We’re all capable of each and every trait and while positive comments have gone Carlo’s way I have no doubt the sweetest and softest part of Nicki is reserved for him, not to people please viewers. Dig deeper people, there’s a reason it works and let’s not be so judgemental that we end up losing this unique window into a life well lived.

    You two crack me up. When the cat's away the mice will play. When Carlos leaves the handrail disappears, and when Nicky's away the patio furniture appears. I think used and refurbished outdoor furniture is ideal because no matter what you spend, the weather always degrades it and it has to be replaced. This way you don't have to spend a fortune every time. I think with a coat of outdoor paint, maybe a sage green and a lighter color green cushion, you could add throw pillows with splashes of terra cotta and green and you will have a lovely, cozy, outdoor space. That little housewares store you visited had some great ideas. Love your videos. Caio for now.

My husband and I owned a business together. We could both be working equally hard and other women would “coo” over him constantly and talk about all that he did, and overlook my equal contributions.

    Wow...there are some really strong comments here. Overall, I wish some of your viewers would employ a little more humor and a lot less judgment in their assessments; especially regarding your relationship. As married partners, I assume you both recognize each others strengths and weaknesses.I actually find it refreshing that you both are so "real" on screen, when so many feel they have to put on a facade. It's not unusual for couples to delegate and divide overall aesthetic design vs. other types of contributions when renovating a home. With both of your efforts, the house is really becoming very charming. The porch wall is a stroke of genius! Looking forward to next week's video!

      No, don’t waste valuable time and money bc it’s always going to be a sow’s ear …… it’s wrong, wrong, wrong . Plastic heavy looking granny wood w no redeeming features whatsoever .

    The dynamics of a couple are unique to them. Obviously, Nicki and Carlo have been together for many years, and they will be together and in love for a thousand more. How they interact works for them, and not only, how they interact is the mechanism that makes them as a couple/a family flourish and grow and be successful AND happy 360 degrees. If you don't like how they are, leave and go work on your own problems. As far as I'm concerned, Nicki and Carlo are both fabulous and complement each other perfectly. They make each other better people. I'm here for it! 💖💖💖💖💖

      @DANUSIA11. You're right about Carlo, he is incredible and no job is too difficult for him. But - that 3 piece suite isn't at all adapt for a beautiful, Tuscan house. It's heavy looking and fussy and would be more suitable in an old-style American ranch. I'm glad though that Carlo made that mistake as everything else he does is amazing. And though Nicki can appear to seem bossy, she has really great taste in furnishing properties and I believe that Carlo is very proud of her and appreciates the lovely interiors she creates (just as Nicki will be very proud of all the hard work Carlo puts into making the house and all that land into a dream property.

    You are so fortunate to have Carlo who can do so many things and he does have an eye for decorating and designing. The furniture he bought I rather like, its vintage and if you change the cushions first then see how you like it, you might just add some outdoor throw pillows to give it a little more rather than painting the beautiful dark wood, which I find actually goes well with the wall color - which you mentioned you will be painting the house a shade lighter than. Don't be disturbed by Carlo doing things without you, we don't always need to be in control, but embrace that he actually has an eye and vision that can melt in with yours.
