    CARLO! CARLO!!....Is there anything you can't do? Give Carlo a project and he handles it so much love, attention to detail and enjoys the whole process. I used to think my husband was the only one with these qualities, now I know he has a twin In Italy. Nicki, congrats on the purchase of your new property. This is so much FUN! to watch as you make it your own. Thank you! as always, for bringing us along on this new adventure.

      I wish Carlo would wear a mask when he is working with drywall. My husband ended up with a tumor in his lung that had to be removed because he didn't wear a mask when doing similar projects. The doctor said the tumor formed because of his exposure to fine dust and other building materials.

    Carlo, I love how you said “the previous people built that kitchen unit with love but not your style”. I find sometimes people can be quite mean to previous owners and you two are wonderfully kind, even though the transition was so difficult with the previous owners. Looking forward to following your reno. And can hardly wait for the gardens to take shape. I know, it will take time. Ciao.

    Your vlogs are never boring. They got me through Covid, my husband's stay in long term care and through his passing last March. We travelled extensively through France and Italy for over twenty years. I miss those trips and hope to start travelling again this year. Kudos to both of you for taking on this new adventure. Your new house will no doubt be as amazing as your house in Positano when you finish with the renos.

      Bells used to be used to heal the community. Evil people stopped most bells in communities. Frequencies are essential to life. Be cautious with music at 440. Music at 432 is I. Tune with humanity and earth.
      It is lovely you are able to live your best life.
      We are on the brink of a societal collapse. Beautiful souls, there are forces we are unable to perceive. We must trust in the lord and protect the children. This beautiful world was never meant for evil and we need to join together to not allow it to get the best of us.
      Thank you for your channel. I feel at home, an inner peace I have not known for sometime. Much love!

    I love room tours, empty, messy, fully decorated: it gets my imagination going on what I’d do and excited for what the owners will do.
    So I’m always extra appreciative when people are willing to film and edit it, for us all to see. Knowing how much work editing actually is, on top of remodeling a house.
    Your happiness about not having to carry all those new things up (or down) 500 stairs is adorable. Have to admit I occasionally think of you guys, whenever I pull up right to my front door with heavy stuff.

    It looks like Holly and Indie have their own little house - it's nice that they can have their own bit of space.
    I've replaced my own gutters recently and bought plastic grids to put on them to stop them being clogged with moss - it looks as though with all the trees around yours will likely get blocked a lot, so you may want to fit something similar.
    Looks like you're working hard but enjoying the process. The simple joy of being able to easily get items delivered that the rest of us take for granted! 😊

The joy and excitement of your new home, the ideas of design, form and function flowing like a fountain of youth, revitalising and adapting to the circumstances. It's just beautiful to watch you both. Shopping for new and 'good used' furniture, reminds us that it is all so familiar bringing nods and smiles to our faces, watching you both go for it with such gusto! We completely commiserate with the ups and downs, the exhaustion and excitement of it all! Carlo reminds me of my own beautiful husband working on our home projects, clearing the gutters, banging on the walls haha! ...cannot wipe the smiles on this video, especially the toilet paper arriving...was hilariously, but oh so neccesarily on point! Good on ya Harry! Thank you for allowing us to share in your joy, as you both explore and create with such passion. When complete, it will be beautiful and homely, warm and inviting! Indi and Holly look like they are enjoying the process too as they romp around in the space, and what a space! Look forward to seeing more of your video content Nikki and Carlo, funny how life prepares us for what's ahead.... I mean all those steps got you both fit and ready for SUCH A TIME AS THIS!😉😉😊

      I agree that the other owners didn't seem very considerate during the entire selling process, but important to note that it isn't uncommon in Europe for owners to take fixtures and appliances with them -- I find it odd they took all the bulbs, but the rest of it seemed quite normal unless there were agreements made to leave them.
      Many people like buying their own appliances and fixtures, so I suppose in a good way it saves on decent items being tossed just because of style/feature preferences?

This was in Germany, but I was never left in the dark because normally they leave at least a couple of fixtures snd lightbulbs..lol.!

    It's so sweet the little gifts people have given you. Seems like it worked out well that you ended up moving in mid January. It's not too hot while you're doing all that physical work, the holidays are over and then you have the winter and spring to set up the house before it gets hot, just in time to host, garden and enjoy your new home. It is so nice to have a handy guy who's good at working on the house, Carlo does so much. The little doggie cupboard is too cute.

    I watched a channel where a couple bought a beach house & the entire episode was them calling everything the previous owners had or did “ugly”. Thank you for being respectful & just kindly admitting that it was not your personal style or taste.

    • @trinasyoutube

      I cannot imagine how hurtful it would be for the previous owners of the beach house featured on the other channel to watch that commentary. I won’t watch that channel again. Respect to you & your family for being thoughtful during your renovations! ❤❤❤😊

You are a treasure and Nicki, you decorating ideas are on point. The two of you work harmoniously, always complimenting each other, a beautiful pairing of two individuals and I wish you much joy and happiness in your new home. I wish I was there to help but I will live vicariously thru your journey in Tuscany.,

    Another small thing well worth the few dollars it costs is a "Guardline" driveway alarm,. let's you know when someone starts up the long drive etc. .... 1/4mi. range and it has any sounds to choose from..... Just a thought🤔when you have your attention on work ..... I hate surprises when I'm busy etc. Look's like you'll have a nice place but plenty of work.👍👍👍

    Hi Nicki, I would like to ask you to tell your father a GINORMOUS thank you from me!!! His idea to send fragile items surrounded by toilet paper rolls is AWESOME!! Once I heard that in your video, I thought “This is it!!” It solved my problem on a spot! Long story short. My daughter has moved to Canada from New Zealand and couldn’t take her PC with her and was going to buy a new one over there, which was not ideal as she’s trying to save money until she finds a job there. But PC is important part of her job as she’s a visual effects and digital design graduate. After I watched your video, I've purchased two packs of toilet rolls, surrounded PC with them in a box and posted. PC has arrived in Toronto and works perfectly!! Thank you SO MUCH for the idea!

    What does your family think about your new home? Your brother-in-law will miss you terribly....

    This is so exciting!! I feel like I could watch an eight hour episode. You should just leave a livestream going during the daylight hours (joking!)
    Your Dad is a hoot! What a great and practical joke.
    My goodness, Carlo is a Carlo of all trades! The way he chiseled out that new archway. I love how the painter was filming Carlo as he was finishing with the arch. 😂
    Seems like such a lovely and laid back way to live. Like it’s an instant sense of community with finding the kitchen fellow via the bar.
    Wishing you guys all the best. Lovely to see the pups out exploring with you on a walk and immediately making themselves at home on one of the sofas.
    The sandwich was huge but looked so scrumptious! Xx
    Oh and your view is to die for. So lovely with the mist and the early morning sun. ❤

    to be very family orientated. Holly and Indie, add to the cosey look and feel about it. Good luck Nicki & Carlo. Safe travels also to Skye. There's a song from my Sunday school days. " The ... strongman built his house upon the rock," that's your Carlo. Positano now Tuscany ❤❤❤❤❤😊
