I’m surprised you didn’t hit 1M subscribers yet, your videos are so beautifully crafted. I’ve been watching you for years.

Hi Kylie, I hope that you'll be able to do a full episode on the finding of a locksmith and everything involved in opening that safe. Even if it ends up being empty, the whole process would be interesting to see. The lightning and rain were fantastic. I've always liked it when it rains, it freshens the air, moisturizing the ambient air. 🙂

Your ability to sew, clean, organize, and bake are talents we all desire for ourselves. Your beautiful candle order will definitely give you that cozy and warm feeling. Thank you for showing us how productive you are to get projects done. ❤ 🏡 🤗

Hi Kylie! You crack me up! After 45 years together, my husband is in charge of the outdoors and mine is the inside of the house. I usually have to fight to get my way lol! So proud of you jumping in and doing what needs to be done. You are my heroine! Keep it going! You inspire me to keep fighting!😁

Guido....finish the bedroom and bathroom!!!!!!

I'm an interior designer and I experience the same from my husband concerning new projects! I bet,if you look into plastering techniques, you may be able to do it yourself! Another great video, thanks for sharing.

I'd love one day to be anywhere near your level of ability to draw cinematic details into your life. Your baking videos make me so pleasantly at peace.

C’mon Kylie, you can do the plastering and painting, it’s not so difficult. That way you can go ahead with your project of finishing your lovely bedroom. I know it’s frustrating to depend on the goodwill of others to be able to finish something. Your cinematography is divine!

I just contacted Ortigia. I sang your praises and I hope they will become one of your sponsors. Sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.

No better feeling having an organized office and wardrobe!

Looking forward to when you feel safe enough to show John Franco, because from behind, he looks like an absolutely perfect baby!

I bet you never get tired of that view!!!

Kylie, you are such a girl! It's lovely to see and hear you express this part of you. I wish I could be that friend that lives nearby and comes to help you make it all happen (while Guido is off in the garden). I get the feeling from your stories that you are a bit isolated from a pack of besties that can help you with your projects and dreams. I'm so happy you have both of your parents when you do. And Guido too, of course.

I wouldn't put a curtain on your bathroom shelves. With a beautiful collection of jars, boxes and bottles you will be able to arrange them on the shelves in an artistic manner to be seen and enjoyed!

I much prefer hanging my clothes. The soap dispenser is gorgeous! I can’t wait to see it in your bathroom!

Hi Kylie! Your Italian Guido must have a Greek clone in my husband. He's exactly as you describe: resistant to interior renovations and concerned about cost, but thrilled and appreciative when they're done. I find it exhausting always to be the driving force, but we can't help ourselves, can we?

Kylie this has to be my most favorite recent episode because it included so many different little fun pieces -- conversation from you, mystery, sewing curtains, cooking, renovation plans for bedroom, renovation of office (which is why I subscribed...to see how you renovate a ruin) and future plans. It felt so full and satisfying. You also seemed more relaxed in this episode. I could feel your energy was just totally serene. Thank you for a great video!

Cosy, cosy... Your work is my bedtime story... I savour an episode over a few nights...calms me... Off to sweet dreams... Beautiful... Thank you Kylie... Exceptional 🥂✨

You have one of the most beautiful Chanel’s on KZfaq.

Oh Kylie, you and I are the renovation and home project movers and shakers and are often frustrated because we have lesser levels of help from our husbands…and we love them dearly, but I totally get you. Now that I’m older and not as strong or full of stamina like I used to be, I’ve settled into a quiet acceptance of things. But you go! I live through you. 💜💜

I heard some time ago, that there were only a few (6-8) different keys made in the 16-1700's. So....an antique store may have a key from that period. You could 'borrow' several and return those that do not work on your new found treasure. Beautiful video, thank you.

It’s a gift when partners are more interested in different areas of the ‘home’. At the same time it can be frustrating or challenging to get things accomplished. 😊Kylie you are truly a gifted, creative, & talented woman! It’s fun to see Guido’s excitement about his projects as well. Thank you for sharing your family’s life with us! ❤

Kylie, if you can find the time, you might enjoy Alla & Sergei on Dreaming of a Chateau as they renovate their old villa on Lake Cuomo. Many similar problems and she has plastered many of the walls herself. LOVE your beautiful office! 🥰

Kylie, you could have a sensitivity to dust and dust mites. It’s always best to wear a mask and googles over your eyes especially when you are working with clearing out old materials and unused cabinets & wardrobes. Just love how the office turned out so cozy, comfortable and it turned out to be a lovely creative office. I don’t know how you worked in such disorganization. I can see how it can squelch your creativity. I know you’ve had a very challenging year with your son and the birth of your son and everything going on in your home with so many huge projects going on. You have accomplished many big projects and climbed over such horrendous obstacles so be proud of yourself. In a big house like that there’s always something to renovate, improve, repair and decorate etc. You will know when it’s the right time to do something so then your heart will be in it and it will be that much more gratifying. 💝🌈🇨🇦 Love how your office turned out and your bathroom is looking beautiful. It’s nice to hear that you’re enjoying your beautiful pool even if your husband can’t join you. I started cringing when you start removing plaster not just paint I knew it was going to end up like that and that it would have to be replastered🫣but it would look really beautiful when it’s done. However, it’s another big delay. Maybe you could learn to plaster. I’m watching someone on KZfaq a young woman who’s never done it before she had to learn to plaster all her rooms she had no other choice to renovate her old abandoned villa on Lake Como. She drew such beautiful murals on her plaster instead of painting it. It is absolutely beautiful what she has created.

The projects, I completely understand this. In our relationship, I’m also the driving force behind getting things done. It’s frustrating sometimes, but I love your approach and understanding that some people are more inclined and others are not. It’s not about the person being a good partner or not, it’s about the differences in personalities and how we are fulfilled by life experiences. I am also a great lover of quality candles and scents. I am looking forward to looking at this brand and discovering some new gorgeous candles. Sending you so much love! Thank you again for your videos and content.

ohh thank you for such a cozy and intimate episode, also the music was just perfect😌 i love how you transformed your office into a warm and inspiring place, your personality and energy are reflected in the details, which is wonderful to see and you absolutely deserve a space where you don’t just work, but are able to let your artistic vision flow, beauty creates beauty your childlike enthusiasm for baking that gets activated instantly by even a hint of a cloud is funny and endearing, I have a similar urge lately as it’s raining where I am all the time good to see you again, you look beautiful and happy, which makes me happy somehow:)

A mystery door/safe, how exciting! If you don't ever manage to open it then Gianfranco, as he is growing up can make up all sorts of stories about what is hidden beyond the door. As it is quite ornamental, I would leave it uncovered. Those candles sound divine :-)

You make the most beautiful videos with excellent background music. I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon watching you organize your amazing space. Looking forward to seeing you next time ❤

Dearest Kylie, embrace your QUEENDOM.

Lovely, cozy video! Nice to see the weather is cooling finally over there after so many months of heat. Your such an inspiration and you can do everything around the property, I'm so happy for you that you have found your place in the world. 💘 Lots of blessings to your and your family 🙏

I would live in that pool! Oh orange blossoms make me swoon..I bet the candles are heaven.guido is lucky to have you and your renovating prowess. You are a wonder of all crafts.

Once the big candle is gone save the container for other candles, cotton swabs, pencil cup etc. You are fabulous.

It can be so frustrating to feel like you're not making as much progress as you want on the bedroom and bathroom, but it will be so, so gratifying when you are finished and using the rooms. Your old office reminds me of my cluttered one and now I am inspired to transform mine into a warm, cozy and inspiring space too! I think an Ortigia candle might be an excellent first step ;-) Thank you for such a relaxing post!

Kylie you're incredible, so talented and optimistic and great at problem solving. Hope your parents return soon so you can finish some of those projects off. LOVE your recipes and will be making some of your previously shown Christmas Treats during December. Sending love from England x

I luv when you have decorating videos. You are talented and motivating.

So thankful for the cookie baking in this video, Kylie…tomorrow two 16 year old boys are arriving to stay with us for a week (here in Portugal,) from Sicily! I wanted to have the little sweet things to go with their coffee and milk in the morning. I made cantuccini in two flavors yesterday. One batch in cranberry, macadamia nut with orange peel and the other with chocolate bits and macadamia. I didn’t have any almonds on hand. I love your beautiful candles! I think I need to order one for myself. 🥰

Your excitement at finding the safe is too cute! 🥰

I find it encouraging and so pleasing to come across creative, sensative individuals who have clearly found the right PLACE to be, highlighting and showcasing the unique character and beauty of both person and place

I don't normally comment or watch the whole videos like this - where the youtuber shows around the home, explains their process or talking about the life in a certain place, because mostly they are just boasting and showing off. However, I never got that vibe from your channel and videos. Gives me so much inspiration and motivation to me, also relaxing to watch and listen to you.

Thank goodness for creative, dedicated souls like you, Kylie. Your vision and passion to see things through make the world a more beautiful place to be. Thank you for all that you do and share; you are truly an inspiration! Warmth and happiness to you and yours. N

My husband is like Guido, very hesitant and resistant to getting started but when it is done he loves it. He also makes suggestions that seem to involve more work for me😂. Over the summer we changed the floor in 75 percent of the ground floor, refinished the oak ceiling beams, refurbished the kitchen, lots of replastering and of course it all needed decorating. Unfortunately my husband has been ill so the organisation and decorating fell to me. As I was finishing he said don't you think that cabinet looks a little shabby, so another project for me. One of my new discoveries was reframing artworks which have transformed the look of art we aIready owned. I bought a picture framing clamp and found acompany that mitre cuts the frame of your choice so you justhave to glueand clamp - so easy and transformational- a lot of the frames are from Italy. I also love Ortigia. I have Fico d'India but have been toying with trying another scent so will take your recommendation for Zagara. I like the scented crystals.

Best of luck in all your projects, wishing you lots of patience, strength and understanding as it progresses at the pace it progresses. May you find joy in the moments of success and accomplishment! Thank you for your filming and your expressive thoughts and the beauty you create.

As always perfect videos, the office is beautiful, I think a big % of women do that, I use to be one. I am older now, plus I was run over by a truck and my life change after that, but I would ask my husband to do something in the house and if he didn’t show initiative i would do it myself. Paint, remove ugly popcorn ceiling, remove carpet and tile and when he got home he would help me I guess he felt he had no choice 😜🙄. Our children were small, so I understand your tiredness and frustration, plus when I want something done I can’t wait. Even after the accident I painted and move furniture, big mistake but I got the itch out of me. Thank you for your videos they transports me to an era that I would have love to live.

I totally agree with not filming your evening outings with friends out of respect for their privacy. I still remember your vintage red dress which was stunning.💃 I also hang most my clothing just so they don't need ironing. I cannot wait to see your bedroom & bathroom completely renovated.❤

Okay now I've got a new candle obsession! Well, at least that hand soap I am coveting, maybe it can go on next year's Santa's list. I feel the same about my partner, he is always game to do certain kinds of projects namely fixing any vehicle, electronic, or technological setup... but when it comes to beautiful home interior upgrades or even necessary ones he will ONLY do it at the LAST instant in a disaster and yes, I appreciate having vehicles that run and the latest and greatest computers and internet setup, but I mean help with the painting would really be a treat, you know?

When I think how loving and creative you are , always doing your best for your family, so unselfish a person , Guido needs to finish the bedroom and bathroom with haste for you. Your delicious meals that you prepare with such love is truly special, I appreciate your videos. 🌸⭐️🌟

Kylie, I went straight to the Australian distributor of Ortigia and ordered a beautiful gift set for myself for Christmas. They looked so gorgeous when you showed them to us. Hope Ortigia become aware of this. Another wonderful episode. I do so much enjoy them. Thank you

Enjoying the cinematography immensely!! Could paint every single corner.

Kylie, it was so enjoyable to watch you sitting and telling us what you have been doing. It felt like a visit with a dear friend. I admire your talent, your work ethic, your energy and your life. I think it's so wonderful that you made your office so beautiful and so you. Those candles were next level and I vote for a fashion show of you and Guido in your party best. Thank you for another beautiful video.

That was so cosy and warming! So glad you got your “own space” back into order and in a fashion that makes you relaxed and comfortable… you deserve it Kylie 🥰 I’m back in Oz temporarily and am missing my magical Tuscan hills, so watching you is so comforting to my yearning soul. Grazie mille ♥️🥰🙏🏼💋🤗🫶🏼

I cant wait to see you draw a bath and light those beautiful candles in your new bathroom!❤

Locksmiths can often pick the lock. They may also have a collection of old keys. I'd think it's a safe for jewelry of not important papers. Such beauty. I hang most clothes. I must have purpose and difficult to recall in drawers. I'm happy for you but wow Pandora box with plaster. Thinking it's time you learn so you can stop waiting. It's not that complicated. You will do great ❤

Always enjoy your videos, Kylie! I live in Arezzo and especially appreciate what you go through renovating etc... Your simply beautiful sober elegance is so refreshing in an ever fast paced artificial world where there is TOO MUCH 'STUFF'. I also enjoy Rajiv Surendra's channel, as you each appreciate the aesthetics and love and beauty when you do things. Big blessing and miles of smiles to you and your beautiful family.

Beautiful curtains! I admire your persistence in the renovations.❤

I am so happy that you have been able to transform your office into a beautiful and inspiring space. I'm someone who loves that organized, delightful surrounding to draw me into any project. Your cookies remind me of my baking when I lived in Amsterdam. Before the internet and there were no ready made chocolate chips to be had. We cut up Dutch or Belgium chocolate bars, which was NO sacrifice! 😋 I'll have to try your recipe, they look wonderful! I was actually having a cup of orange tea and thinking of my Christmas cookie baking list just before indulging in your latest video. Thank you, Kylie for all of the beauty you create and share. Blessings on your dear family and I pray for patience and progress for all your good efforts! Between you and Guido, your passions cover a lot of territory and everyone benefits! ❤ 🤗

You had me at Romantic Office Makeover! You created a beautiful space! I turned a spare bedroom into my creative studio. It took years but I love it and as you did, I filled it with pieces that make me happy! Love this video, Kylie

Gosh, love the safe. I wonder if one of those fibre cameras with a light would fit through the keyhole. No point paying a locksmith if it’s empty.

I am sp happy you now have an organized office space!

I'm with Guido regarding a cold water dip. I'm not "tempted to try it" either. But, I'm totally Team Kylie regarding the bathroom, bedroom and office. Thank you for the lovely video. I could almost smell those beautiful cookies.

I so appreciate this video. It gives me hope. I am the one who wants to maintain the house and my hubby drags his feet. Your video gives me encouragement to push through and not give up. (I have started giving up) Thank you soooooo much. 🙏🏻

Hi Kylie, you have no idea how your videos make me feel. The beauty of the Tuscan countryside is remarkable and the way you capture the light - it’s so beautiful. I’m looking forward to my next trip to Italy - my favourite place in the world. Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of paradise with the simple things. ❤

You are totally the best. I admire you in everything you put your hand to. Guido and you are the super couple than add in baby Gianfranco and your parents WOW……….🤗🇨🇦

Tidy, cozy and inviting - love that ❤

Yet again a magical video ! I can relate to renovations, what worked for getting my husband onboard is planting the seed, visualizing the project at hand, drawings, inspirational pictures ... and then there is nothing stopping him as he becomes all in 100%. ... each one brings their strengths and hard work and then the enjoyment of accomplishment sets in 🥰🥰

I can relate to your obsession with the candles & the scent that takes you back to a place & time. Mine is also Italian, the Potpourri scent from Santa Maria Novella. I stayed in Tuscany for part of a summer tutoring the child of an American family who owned a villa. The entire place was filled with huge bowls of the potpourri with that scent (also called Potpourri) & all I have to do is get a whiff of that & I'm back there. Nothing is as evocative as scent. I too love interior renovation/decorating, I adore thunderstorms, I tend to just drop things in places & make a mess (the "before" of your office looks like my craft room & my costume room & my guestroom & ...), and I prefer my clothes hanging up & hate digging through drawers. However---I do store my knits in drawers but rolled, not folded, so I can see everything at one time. But I also love to garden, vegetables & roses for me, so I can relate to Guido's interests too! I wonder which Giancarlo will like more, or perhaps he will have a passion for fixing up cars or machinery, who knows?

I’m going through a medical procedure tomorrow and I’m watching your videos to calm my anxiety. I just wanted you to know you’re helping someone far far away!

My husband is a Master Locksmith.. 40 years experience….. what a lovely wall safe…

Italy is so beautiful this time of year. You’re working so hard on making a gorgeous and cozy home. ❤

Beautifully filmed and so interesting. I love how you respect the age of the house and use original furniture where you can. ❤

I love seeing happy people, and I love that you inspire us with your emotion for every detail of life, you are also a woman with exquisite taste, you have an artistic eye, and the best thing is that you are very hard-working, says my teenage son, where are the women like you, and he is right, I think Guido is a very lucky man. Thank you very much for sharing part of your life with us with such beautiful things. I think you are very sweet and pretty on the outside and inside, that's why you are able to convey that same thing. I send you a warm hug from the other side of the world.

I love to have things tidy and organized as well, but I’m not always successful! Kudos for all your efforts because it looks fabulous!❤

That safe is way cool. It’s beautiful. Keep looking for a key that may fit

You make me float on the happiest cloud with the most heart warming & gorgeous posts, angelic Kylie...Wow! the hidden treasures, tha candles, music,. Cookies... & the lovely chat ..what more can one ask for ...the .perfect ingredients of a laid back afternoon.Thank you so much dearie.❤🎉😊

Totally agree with you about the pool. Such a wonderful therapy head to toe. 🎉

I'm a visual person, so if my clothes are hanging I will wear them. If something is in a drawer it gets forgotten! Love the thunder and rain. I long for a thunder storm but only if nothing gets damaged. I know those candles and they are scrumptious. Just think of your fantastic level of living when all is done. (Are we ever really done?)

I can’t get enough of that bathroom Kylie, your eye for design is impeccable, brava 😍

Cold water swimming is magical.

LoL when Guido shows up on the video it becomes like a sit-com :-)) LoL

Would love to see video of you and Guido dressed up to go out , or just model your wardrobe!

Such a beautiful episode today. Love the candles they so exotic and rich looking in the packaging and clearly the fragrances are wonderful too. When you followed Guido outside my eyes were pleasantly surprised to see how gorgeous your patio garden is. So lush and that sky. Oh my! Your excellence in filming and creating these videos is astounding. Blessings to you and your family.

My home is 103 years old and it came with Doors that used to skeleton keys. Most of the keys have been lost, but I needed to find a way to open one of the doors, so I had to hire a locksmith to make a skeleton key for that particular door. It now opens! So maybe a locksmith there can make a key for you. It would be amazing if there were some treasure inside!

Kylie Your blogs are of the charts✨✨ from begining to end 💖💖💖💖💖

I love the curtains that you've sewn. Beautiful job. Teamwork, you renovate and he gardens.. you meet in the middle for dining....I think it's perfect. Gianfranco will be so talented and do chores for momma and chores for daddy and just charm us all 17:11

Dear Kylie, Thank you so much for your videos, please make a video of your outfits and how you style them, you always look beautiful and classy, please tell us your secrets💋♥️

My husband is like Guido. The struggle is real. Worth it in the end- I managed to convince my husband to tear down our house and start from scratch- it was quite the project, but worth it. Gianfranco seems enthusiastic though. Though I don’t know the Italian real estate market and assets valuation all the work you have done has to be worth the cost.

Thank you Kylie, your passion for life is infectious. I now have on order some liquid soap! I adore your videos. I rewind and rewatch little bits so I can take in all the beauty and all the fine details. I never want them to end. Never have I ever sat down and just watched your videos. It takes time to get my fire going, turn off the lights, light my candles, pour a glass of wine and settle down on my sofa in 38:32 anticipation of what is to come. It must take so much time to collate everything together and I love and appreciate your dedication and commitment. X

This is perhaps my favorite of all your videos, Kylie- Music, some cooking, renovations, the views out your windows, your warm conversation....I'm always inspired by how much you accomplish, truly amazing! Your cinematography elevates even mundane tasks as home into an art form I love to watch. Your beauty, inside and out, shines so brightly here. Thanks for sharing all this with us, what a joy and a real treat!

Kylie, I'm currently seeing horrible footage of the coastal towns of Sicily experiencing terrible storm damage. I don't know how close your Family is to Sicily but I Pray you are being spared. I Pray for all the residences of Sicily.

I love Ortigia ❤

How exciting You have found a hobnail safe i wrote a book called The court of roses posted chapters on my Facebook page and it had a hobnail safe in it and she was looking for the three keys and her adventure in finding them got 10,000 views just for writing thought I'd get none and think gardening is therapeutic more so than DIY and can be expensive love your video's thay always have a cosy feel to them❤

Thanks for sharing your beautiful world.

That is so funny that is exactly the scents we use as well! Ortigia from Sicily! You are amazing doing all this work renovating yourself!

love you so much kylie you are so a beautiful person i enjoy always everyting you do thank you you lichting my day

Have you considered framing as art some of the artifacts you are finding? A collage of keys in a shadow box, or frame a portion of the drawer liners you found so beautiful in the last episode (I think)? Perhaps it could be a nice way to keep the old with the new. Thank you for being a constant source of beauty and inspiration. Much love and well wishes to you and your family.

Omg I feel exactly the same. My husband is like Guido and I’m like you. It is frustrating when you can’t do everything yourself and I sometimes have a hard time not getting upset with my hubby, but I guess we all are different 😂

like like like like!! oh my gosh my husband and I are the same when it comes to decorating. I used to be so annoyed that I couldn't even get his opinion on a carpet and now I think it's pretty good as I get to choose everything and our house and garden is pretty much my creation. I also have to put in the hard work and he loves it once it's done.

Hello Kylie! I just love all that you do to your home and your property. Simple yet very elegant! Sending love to you and your family from Mississippi, USA ❤

Kylie I love natural coloured curtains in natural materials, but when I saw that glimpse of them next to the pink tiles, I thought how lovely it could also have been to do them in the same pink. Just a thought!

Celebratory first bath when everything is finally finished!🛁🛀 Oh doesn't that sound divine🥂 Wishing you guys all the best! Nice to see you dear, you look beautiful💖

You my sister from another mister! Give me a dark stormy day, with some yummy candles and anything food that’s salty or sweet. And a really cozy bath. You’re a badass Kylie! ❤️
