Thanks for watching the video Amazing 1 year House Transformation - Renovating in Tuscany
Carlo is worth a billion $ with all his skills and desire and personality. A dream.
It doesn’t even look like the same house now!! I’m amazed how much furniture you’ve bought from the ‘thrift’ shops and how little you paid for most of it. You are amazing at interior design and, as we’ve all said before, Carlos is just the most hard working & versatile man I’ve ever seen. He’s a diamond! Loved this vlog as always x
PARK IT HERE! to show Carlo love for always acknowledging our comments with hearts and replies in the comment section. Thank you! for that Carlo.
EDIT: Thanks! to everyone who parked it here and showed love to Carlo.

The house hunt was quite a journey Nicki. There is a saying, when you walk into the house that will be yours, you will feel it right away, because of all a sudden you feel comfortable at home. I felt this 22yrs ago while house hunting too and still living in that house since. I am grateful.
I felt that with my last house, which I was in for 17 years. Never felt it with my present one..
I see what you mean. This was and is my first home. Probably won't feel the same, if I moved elsewhere.
Wow. Nice retrospective! So much progress on a lovely space.
It's been a pleasure to have shared this journey with you both,you should be proud of what you have achieved.
This video was nicely put together, Nicki! All the footage show how far the house has come in a year.
I have always thought your renovations were beautiful.and made this house feel calmer and cared for...I have an even greater appreciation for what you have achieved after seeing your video from your initial house tour...You two truly are artists.
Incredible amount of work in one year. You have made it all so lovely, and accessible for your late years. Bravo.
I remember all of this! Nicki, you and Carlo have had such a journey, with even more to come! This has been a pleasure to watch, but more than that, it has brought you both such joy and happiness! I toast all of you to another productive year to come. All my best, Janet ♥️☘️
Nice video. Unbelievable how much work you have done in a short time. Fantastic.
Right? Just the pool alone was a Herculean task!
The transformation of your house over the last year is incredible! It is so beautiful - you have created a lovely and peaceful Tuscany sanctuary . 😊
I've watched you for years and I love everything you've done to the house. You both should be so proud. It's beautiful 😊
I still cant believe they took the sinks and cupboards! You and Carlo have done an amazing job in a year!!
Nicky, thank you for taking us down memory lane - wow, you guys have achieved so much, and you have worked so hard. I love your house - it is warm and cozy ... just pretty.
Dare I say, personally I enjoy your Tuscany videos to see your progress
Wow. To see it all at once, it's amazing to see what you both have accomplished. It's absolutely beautiful and it radiates the love and hard work you put in. Congratulations. Carlo, I hope your Mother is enjoying her visit. Thanks again for sharing, I do enjoy your videos.
I hope Momma is enjoying her time with you!!!!
I love seeing the before and after photos. You've really made the house into your cozy home. Kudos to Carlo for all of his hard work. He's a gem!
I have followed your renovations all along, but this compilation does show another aspect of all the work you've have done! It was very helpful to have these renovations presented all together, thanks for sharing.
Love your home in Tuscany. You have made it so cozy. The view spectacular and Carlo clearing the land to be able to enjoy. The dog seem to love it there. So lovely ❤
You have made it your own. Your home and that is all that matters in life. I've enjoyed this journey so much and look forward to continuing it with you both. 😊❤
Nikki, this was an amazing before and after...you two truly have vision and talent.
As I am watching, it' just WOW! WOW! WOW! the before and after from room to room to room. OMG! at the fantastic! difference. Carlo you are brilliant! Nicki brings that out in you for sure.
Not for the faint-hearted 😂
Your condensed video tonight sums up all your back breaking hard work
Hats off to both of you !
We do renovations, so we can well appreciate the slog of it all and in the heat of Tuscany! All the best to you both for lots more happy day's 😊 xxx
The house is beautiful. You and Carlo work so well together, you compliment each other so, such a lovely couple. 💜
It really is impressive how much work you two have done and how wonderful everything is looking.
It all seems like yesterday (2021) What a lovely re-cap of the last 3 years and sharing what can be done together by a loving and caring couple and family ❤
Can’t believe the time went by so fast. Nicki in with her fringe 😊
Yes, it really makes you realise how much you have both achieved… and it’s been wonderful to come on the journey with you. Can’t wait for whatever is next!
Just lovely! So happy for you both. You have worked so hard and it gets more beautiful every day!
That was hilarious when Carlo opened the wall and all the crap fell out...😲😄
You tackled it all in a logical manner and it's all worked out very well. Enjoy your second year!
Congratulations Nicky and Carlo! You have really improved the house! It looked terrible and now it is a truly beautiful Tuscan home! Keep on improving and enjoying your life in Italy! ❤
Wow, it's such a good feeling when you start to see things come the way you dream on and all the dust, work,stress becomes part of a story. It's such a beautiful place , thanks for sharing ❤
It was so good to see the sum-up of the past year! Thank you for sharing your life. Your videos helped me through the hard days of 2024. Hugs from Hungary❤
What a cool journey you and Carlo have embarked on and I must thank you as well because I have learned a lot about patience, empathy, and having fun from you both. I live somewhere that is always go go go and watching your videos has taught me about the importance of enjoying the slowness and appreciating the beauty around me. So thank you Nicki and Carlo!!
Nicki and Carlo what a year well spent!! What a wonderful transformation you have both carried out, congratulations! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you on this journey and cannot wait to see what you will be doing next❤
What a fabulous overview of your Tuscan adventure so far! You must both be so proud of what you have accomplished.
It was endearing to see Holly supervising the whole process.
Towards the end of the video, when you were describing the clearing that Carlo has been doing on the land, there was an absolutely beautiful burst of bird song. It's nice to hear that you will have more time in the coming months to relax and enjoy the views and the joyful music of your feathered neighbours! 😊
You and Carlo have done an amazing job on the house!
I was today years old when I found out the sign on your pool says "no fishing"! haahaa. Thank you so much for taking us all on this journey of yours. I do so look forward to your uploads on Sundays at noon (here). Enjoy your week! See you both next Sunday!
I love that 😂
Just WOW!!!! Good job, Nicki and Carlo. AMAZING!!!! You should be very proud of yourselves.
It’s been an amazing journey watching you both transform that lovely house into a beautiful and cozy home! Bravissimi!
Carlo & Nicki you have worked so hard and beautifully crafted, your new home . All the blood sweat , tears and love that you have poured into it ,shines through now ❤ love from the UK x
Wonderfully edited, Nicki. You are very talented. So is Carlo…what a treasure. Your house is stunning.
What an enormous amount of work and change to the house, it really is your home now. I have really enjoyed the transformation. Bravo
They did it all with breaks & trips back home to Positano & England!
As you say, you have both done so much work in this year. It all looks beautiful. I was hoping to see Mama this week and see how she enjoyed her stay. I was worried when Aperitivo50 was not on this last week…missed you. It must take hours each week making videos. I’m sure all your followers appreciate the work you put into them. Looking forward to next Sunday already! Dinner nearly ready…. I always watch when cooking dinner with a gin and tonic on Sunday evening. 😊 ❤
such good editing Nicki! And I know you do this all on your own. SO good! As is your transformation!!! xx
You both have transformed the property into a lovely home. I’ve watched your journey and I’m so very impressed and a little envious that you can walk in the winter without having to deal with freezing temperatures and snow 😂. Greatly appreciate your sharing the renovations ❤😊.
Thank you Nicki and Carlo! Your renovation has changed my mind so much about how i would want to live. ❤
I love how you put the the BEFORE and AFTER, I’ve watched you and Carlos transform your house and buying your furniture, I didn’t want to missed any episode and looking at this episode it looks amazing. Well done to you both. Love it and I can’t wait to see more even if it’s sightseeing or second shopping I’m looking forward. All the best Nicky and Carlos from Sydney Australia ❤
I didn't quite realize how much you had accomplished in the last year. Amazing!! And it all looks so beautiful and comfortable! Congratulations on your first year in Paradise 2!! 🙏❤❤❤
I absolutely love how you and Carlo's home came out!!!
LOL! @ when Carlo wants to take a break and wants to relax, he picks up a saw and heads into the woods and becomes a woodsman.
I've been watching all the videos of your Tuscany journey renovation. The house is beautiful now you've made necessary improvements. Good job, guys!👏👏👏👏❤
Lots to see. A definite rewatch. Amazing to see the transformation in only a year. The pool alone was a big job. All your trips back & forth to Positano & England & still got stuff done. Lots of time spent with Marie & Lorenzo. Great shopping at thrifts & flea markets. Exploring nearby towns. It’s been a blast. Looking forward to driveway improvements & sidetrips to the lovely countryside.
What a wonderful transformation!!!🤍🤍🤍
Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very happy for you and proud of you Nicki!
Other than the usual enjoyment of your videos, one thing that reveals from this video is that you are getting prettier as the years tick on.
Hello NickiCarlo Everywhere! That was beautiful! Thank you. Hope Carlo's Mama is enjoying her visit with you all. The progress is amazing and lovely and Yay! YOU did it all with so much love! Great retrospective! Just for MY satisfaction, because you know.... living vicariously through you all. Benches and little hideaways in your HUGE property. Signs that point the way to potential made-up 'secrets' for your imagination and storytelling of the land. Hmmmmmm..... Ideas abound. Not taking away from the deep satisfaction of enjoying YOUR journey and rebuilding a beloved space. Be well!
Hello my favorite people. Loved the before and after of your Tuscany house. I’ve been here for all of it but this video really highlighted all that you two have done. I love the pool area and the olive fields. I can hardly believe that one man did all of that in such a short time. The olive trees must feel like they’ve been freed from strangulation. I’m sure they will reward you with a bountiful harvest.
The only reason I couldn’t live there is that I would spend all my time in the 2nd hand shops which to us in US, because we are such a young country, would be antique shops. I adore those videos. This next year will be less work, more fun. You have done an absolutely stunning job so far!
They really did take it all, didn't they! What a strange custom to take the kitchen, bathroom, etc. But you've made a house a home in a short time! ❤ Well done.
What an amazing transformation!!! Doesn't it feel empowering to look back at this video and see all that you have accomplished!?! My husband and I bought land in 2006, when our first child was just barely 3. Over the next few years we transformed the land and built our home and two cabins with our own hands and the help of friends. I kept an online diary of our projects on a blog to remind myself of what we had accomplished. All these years later, t is a wonderful way to remind myself that I can create what I envision when I set my mind to it. You all have built a beautiful home that I am sure will be filled with much love and many memories!
I drove my realtor crazy with all the houses I wanted to buy. Carlo is amazing and so are you in the renovations. Dogs love it, too❤
Loved this vlog, it was amazing to see just how far you have taken this property in just one year. All of your hard work has really paid off, it is beautiful. Funny how you can forget what it was like when you arrived, you have really turned it around.
I've watched the whole process but seeing it ALL in one video... my goodness you are HARD WORKERS!! I"m so thankful I found you guys. You fill my heart with every video. You're such good and loving folks! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with the world.
You have done a great job thank you for sharing ❤
Wonderful!! I know you feel such a sense of accomplishment!! I loved when Carlos’s mother appreciated your beautiful home n setting!! Your Dad fell in love too!! ❤
You both really know how to put the heart back into a house to make it a home 🧡
The house looks great. You two have truly done so much already. Now…enjoy yourselves whether there or in Positano. Life is too short. ❤
I love this video! It's amazing what you two have accomplished in just a year. You have made it so lovely, homey, & welcoming. Great job! ❤
So much hard worker turned out everything is beautiful
It is unbelievable what the two of you have done in one year with such hard work and creativity. I join in with all of the other comments about Carlo's talents as well as yours, Nicki. You took on this project during a time in your lives when you are physically and mentally capable to do it. Compliments to both of you. Can't wait to see your next endeavors. Ciao until next Sunday.
Had to chuckle when you said when Carlo wants to relax, he puts down his tools and picks up his saw. LOL Reminds me of my Dad! Carlo, you sir have made quite a difference out in your jungle! You have tamed the bamboo and it is beginning to look quite peaceful. Bravo!!
I absolutely love everything you’ve done with this property.
Wow!!! What wonderful changes you guys have made!! So much hard work I know.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ we look forward to your videos every week!!
It's incredible how you managed to do so much in such a short time. Home is life, and this one certainly has a lot of life and joy. And much more will come 👏👏🥰
My goodness, you have done so much to the house it is astonishing. It was very basic and not cared for before and now gorgeous. You are both visionaries and doers. Congratulations on all you have done.
Just goes to show what vision and hard work can do. It all looks so lovely. Can’t wait to see what happens this year. That birdsong is amazing! Love from grey, cold, miserable England 🏴
The amount of work you have done in just one year is incredible! Like what you have done to the house is way better than what the pervious owners had. You guys have done such a beautiful job. Can't wait to see what else you do this year.
Loved this look back.. you both are truly talented and such hard workers.. it’s beautiful!
Amazing! You knew this house had great bones. You turned a choppy set up into one of the most warm and inviting homes I’ve seen. Well done !❤
What a team you two are 🥰 may this year you enjoy all your hard work & tackle other projects as & when 😊 xx
Love going back and seeing everything you both have done. Lovely!
It's amazing to see it all in one video , you have been working very hard !
But the results are lovely .
Can't wait to see some smaller projects this year ...
And I hope you will have leisure time and relax - by the pool - too !
I remember every step of this and you did get so much done! The beautiful sounds as you showed the paths that Carlo had cleared! When spring or summer arrives could you take us on a walk with no talking? Only the nature sounds!
This property is a gem. You and Carlo have made it so comfortable. The views of both your properties are stunning. I can see advantages to both. You have the best of both worlds. Thank you for sharing your life.
You are truly Blessed!
And we, are truly fortunate to "know" you!
You have both done such a good job, put so much effort/time and ingenuity into every room and the exterior too. Plus of course the added bonus of watching a couple who are still truly in love after all this time is uplifting-an added bonus to the videos.
Excited to see what’s in store for the Veranda room!! I see the potential 😍🤩✨
You two worked so hard for this home is so different from before well done your videos are all a master peace but i prefer positano videos love from london
It's Sunday and time for a new video from you. Fabulous. had not seen these videos in a while. The house has changed so much for the better. The colors you used indoors and outside are beautiful. They are exquisite. The house looks so inviting and homey. Its so impressive. I really love the trails Carlo has carved out for you both and the dogs. It is a lovely property. The pool turned out amazing. You will be able to use it all summer 2025. It looks like your and Carlo's home now. Not the exes! haha. You two really spent time caring for this home and the grounds. Brava, Bravo. Thank you for sharing this adventure with all of us. Watching your channel every week, keeps me happy and having something fun to do in the dreary winter here in Abruzzo.
ciao! Katie
I watch all your videos and you both work so very hard getting both properties looking so good, Like always can't wait to see what adventures will be upcoming for us.
Wow! Congrats to you both! The work the two of you have accomplished in a year is incredible! The inside is warm & inviting and complements the outside views beautifully! Carlo singing "oh Marie" made me smile as it brought back beautiful memories! I am an Italian American and my moms' aunts would always sing that song to me whenever we visited them in little Italy, in Chicago! This video is a reminder that we must never limit ourselves, as you never know what's around the next corner. Be blessed and enjoy! Thank you for sharing with us!
Truly amazing transformation! What a joy to have been with you in spirit every step of the way. Thank you so much for sharing your fascinating life and adventures with us. I hope Carlo's mamma is enjoying her stay too. xxx
You really have accomplished so much. To those of us watching, it feels like the blink of an eye, but to you, I’m sure it feels as though things changed at a snail’s pace! You two are a great team!
It has come SO far, your home looks amazing! Thank you for sharing! I hope you all have a wonderful week. I sure wish I had half your talent for home improvements.
Your house looks so beautiful!
This Reno has been amazing what a wonderful job you and Carlo have done!
I loved seeing this transformation of your new place.
Both of your homes are lovely. You are both very hard workers and deserving. Carlo is so skilled at everything and has such a sweet personality. He’s a gem!
Loved seeing all the transformations! Beautiful, cozy, comfortable, what a home should be. You two worked hard, and it shows.❤❤
Super great video with all of the updates. What Fun....and a whole lot of work! Thank you Nicki and Carlo.
