You are very lucky to have such a nice father to help you out. A great father is like gold

Just "enjoy your new space for you", it is worth all the work and expense for yourself if no one else appreciates it or not. We will appreciate your hard work from through your lens, your smile and the twinkle in your eyes. I appreciate you saying that you spent time with your mother-in love as well as your parents. I was raised with so much time spent with my grandparents, "Oh the love and richness of wisdom" that was woven into the tapestry of my life. Enjoy your time with them, my grandparents and parents have passed way to young and oh I miss them. Time passes very fast dear Kylie! Your spaces are coming together beautifly, thank you for sharing. Hug and kiss your precious little boy, we love you Kylie and family.

What fun that Guido enjoys antiquing with you! And you've got your father doing the hands-on projects, a great combination of male energy around you.

Simplicity alongside intricate detail,in the most glorious country side ..just stunning !! ✨💖

Your excitement is contagious. Cherish your father. Mine has been gone 12 years next month. I miss him dearly. 💞

It's great how you can transfer feelings and sensuality into pictures. I feel everything... the fabric, the sun's rays, the warmth, the wet hair on my shoulders, the fresh breeze...

i’m going to sleep now and going to dream about wonderfully sunbathed rooms and flowers and the joy of building a home in all its details thank you for the mood:) your enthusiasm and passion are contagious

If you add a strip of wood across the front of your shelves, it will hide the wood that the shelves are sitting on, plus it will make your shelves look thicker and more substantial.

Your son...is just adorable. Always helping. Loves it. What a wonderful boy.

I was so ecstatic when you chose the darker bedroom carpet! It compliments the terra cotta floor. The other rugs caused the eye to be somewhat befogged. I am in love with that look! Fabulous taste you both have! ♥

Love seeing when your parents are with you.❤

Your son is precious! What a lovely bedroom and bathroom…and your home!

G, preferring his shirts ironed and folded. Hysterical. I forgot how "typical" Italian men are with such matters. In 21 years of managing households in IT and CH, I don't think I have ever seen a shirt ironed and hung. They're always ironed and folded. Cracks me up....

Just exquisite. The little one is at that age of looking, watching, touching, copying. I get the impression he is just so in awe of his parents, of his surroundings. Everything is so peaceful, so calm. Very few children have such an upbringing. Lucky little boy ❤❤

The bathroom and bedroom are coming along so beautifully. You have excellent taste. Bravo to you and your family in creating a gorgeous home.

So endearing , to watch your father , giving you a helping hand , with his carpenter expertise , my father did the same for me many years past . I dearly miss my parents, cherish every moment . Watching the baby , with your father was precious . The rooms are gorgeous 💚

I’m just enjoying this episode so much- laughing because I know exactly how you feel. My husband and I built our home from ground up. The finishing is so hard- but so rewarding. And believe me when your husband enjoys decorating as much as you it is a joy. The rugs will serve you well for a lifetime. It’s a good investment.

This video was very enjoyable to watch, like all the videos. Can't wait to see new furniture, curtains and rugs all together. You are such a beautiful persona inside and out. Love your positively and smile. The baby is adorable. Enjoy the time you spend with him. Time flies .

You will never regret getting something that you love. I believe in surrounding yourself with beautiful things that will always make you happy and will give you so much enjoyment. Life is brief, so if you can swing it financially then gift it to yourself and your family. I always tell my kids (adults) make a beautiful home for yourself even if its just a small apartment. It is a place where you live, rest and gather. So, well done Kylie. Enjoy your lovely home.

Kylie, I bought a silk blend Middle Eastern rug a few years ago for my bedroom and every time I enter the room I enjoy looking at it. It elevates the room and adds a style that makes me enjoy the space every time. (It was on sale too at half the normal price. They gave me a certificate of value for insurance purposes). Something I've read about and noticed with this type of rug too is that the hand knotting means the rug when viewed from different directions can be have a lighter/ brighter or darker sheen. It's not about how it is vacuumed. Also I was told a silk blend rug is less slippery than a pure silk rug so something to note for any readers. Loved your mood board and the final rug choice is perfect it elevates the quality of the look you are building with your bedroom. It is so exciting to make a beautiful space to live it really adds to your quality of life every day. Glad to watch your journey.

I love how your bathroom turned out. The window with that view is heaven. I also love the stone in the bathroom. It's all coming together.

Good morning, Kylie What a beautiful view!! You always look amazing. Love watching your videos

Infine!! So glad for you! Hope one day Gianfranco sees these videos so he'll understand all your tremendous effort, patience, and vision! 🥰

100% you should get the rug. I have the same situation with my husband re renovations... but slowly slowly he is coming round and its super exciting that he's into it now too

You are an excellent teacher who is teaching us women to value ourselves. We all need what can have to value and cherish in our homes. You have waited a long for this room to completion. I am so happy for you and your family.

You are living my dream life ❤ I’m always looking forward to your cinematic videos! Much love 🫶🏼

Oh, the wonderful, exciting, swirling ideas in the decorative process! The fabrics and trims and rugs are absolutely gorgeous! I am so looking forward to the next episode. A very happy birthday to your Dad! He doesn’t look a day over 59!

Oh, Ms. Kylie, thank you for sharing your life in Italy! Watched your video while having my coffee, and I told my family it was my time to catch up with my friend Kylie. They laughed at me and told me she doesn't know you!😊 Your home is looking stunning! Blessings from Chicago

I love the renovating a ruin episodes, the sun in the bathroom is just so beautiful, take care Kylie ❤

I love the classic and natural style. You really give the house a soul in your wonderful way. Beautiful

Besides all this beautiful decoration what I like the most is watching your father helping you and making so many beautiful things. Family is the most important thing.

That view! Wow! Beautifully done bathroom! One of the things that life teaches is it is never about going fast to the finishing line, it is the whole satisfying journey and unveiling of the plan and the stepping stones along the way. I know it can feel like things take ages, once it is all done, you get to miss the fun you had in the creating 😂 I am writing my own rom com book just now which is like a Bridget jones in positano 😂 and I am basking in going slow because I know I’ve spent 7 months writing it and I don’t want the love story to stop 😂 it was very philosophical about the pace of savouring what you have in the NOW. Best of luck Kylie and cant wait to see it all done! 😘

The rug is exquisite and painting behind the bed was brilliant in highlighting the wonderful scroll work on the bed. The bathroom is gorgeous and feels like a spa. The flowers are a pretty touch of softness inviting one to relax and take a towel. 🌸The curtains will come together beautifully with your artistic eye! Love seeing your son move about exploring his environment.Thank you for bringing us along on your journey turning this ruin into a warm and inviting home. 🏠 Such a joy!! 💕🤗

Stunning selections! So glad to hear your mother in law shares your love of interior design. An added blessing! Wonderful episode-can’t wait to see the rug and curtains in place!!

How could anyone not love decorating a bathroom? Or a bedroom? 🥰 I love your excitement, Kylie! Everything is coming together so beautifully. Great job 👍 Here in Chicago, lots of rain and slush on the ground. But that's better than the negative temperatures we had about a week ago. Sending u all big hugs!!! 😊

My dear Kylie this was such a warm , inviting video that put a smile on my face. You sweet boy is getting around very well now and his little voice so precious. The wonder of little ones is such a joy. I’m so happy your parents get to enjoy him at these young years. The bathroom, bedroom are going to be glorious when you get it all decorated. Guido will come around and enjoy it so much too. Thank you for sharing your lives and for all the work you put into your videos. The music is always beautiful. I will look forward to the reveal of these beautiful spaces. I’m glad your mother in law shares in the shopping of beautiful things and you have a lovely relationship with her too.❤❤❤❤❤ It’s so easy for people to post their view points on what looks bad, or what you should do or consider Kylie, but the bottom line is that this is you and Guido’s home and you are doing a fabulous job in bringing what you desire into your space. Look past the comments that mean well but are not so kind in wording at times. It’s so easy to be a critic. I wish you and your family a wonderful week. Your outfit today looks very refreshing. Your dad in the pop was a hoot. Much love to you all. 🥰✨🙏

Your renovations are lovely. The details of furniture and accessories are beautiful and add such inviting touches to your rooms. Take your time to choose exactly what you want. Antiques bring such amazing character to room that new furniture cannot. Enjoy your beautiful space. ❤

Love the idea of trim on the curtains. That could look fantastic.

Kylie, Thank you for the visit to your home via this video. Each time is like a visit with you in person as though we were friends for a long time. I must say that I am a bit envious of your bathroom and bedroom renovations and I look forward to seeing the completed project down the road. They are inspirations for me as I craft my home to do lists.

Kylie, everything is luscious, including your decision-making process. I enjoyed hearing your considerations and choices. I love your taste and sense of beauty. There are so many ways to make a space warm, cozy, and lovely for making your most precious memories, and your way does not disappoint. I think the main point, as I see it, is to create the space that brings you and Guido the greatest joy. It is very personal. As usual, though, I love your taste and sensitivity to the finer nuances that make all the difference in the positive energy of your space! Bravissima!!!

How beautifully everything is coming together now! Isn't it funny how we can completely change our mind, as you did with the rug and the curtains? I have done it myself. I am so happy your Parents are there and how lovely to see little Gianfranco busying himself in everything. What a little treasure he is.

You are so Blessed to be living such a magical dream Life Kylie most people can only imagine a life like yours

Kylie, looove the bathroom! Please loose the cubby hole curtains though, they don't go with the rest of the aesthetic of the bathroom. You can replace them with baskets that will go with your laundry baskets. ❤ Much love!

I find it beautiful because everything is with intention My style is totally different, but its always great to see others choices when it's something that came from their own inspiration its an encouragement for others to not be afraid of their own individuality and self-expression and enjoy it. THAT is beauty.

Love those tiles by your sink ❤

Come on Guido! Keep your wife happy and embrace the changes. 😊

I would love to embroider something on the underpants.. oops! Little curtains i mean, beside the sink. No disrespect, as i love all the vintage and down to earth decorating you do 🙋‍♀️

I think that the idea of a rug in the bathroom, will feel cozy, and sophisticated for a passionate couple❤ Kylie, I thought about something… your living room is elegant, and with a great level character, if you follow the same path, your bedroom will be chic, and elegant as well❤️

Thanks for taking us with you through the consignment/pre-used furnishings store!

Absolutely lovely. You have an incredible sense of style. ❤️

Your home is beautiful, Kylie. So happy for you. You and your husband and family have worked so hard and so deserving of such a beautiful home.

Love the green floral fabric! Your wall color looks to be woven in around the floral details and the vines. Amazing! The red in the floral will complement the red in your tiles.

Kylie, you can look up Iron Orchid designs. They sell moulds etc to decorate your own furniture. You could make that wardrobe look fabulous and vintage, combining your skills and their moulds.

What a lovely bathroom Kylie and Guido. Happy you got the rug you really love with the linen curtains! Gianfranco's fascination and wonderment about the world around him is precious.

Grateful for your videos. You bring such joy sharing these snippets of your life ❤️❤️❤️

The baby! 😍 He’s getting so big. Catching up and binge watching right now but I love your life and followed you for a very long time. I hope I run into you on our trip this summer. That would such a blessing. God bless you all Kylie. ❤

Kylie you speaking my language 😊 love the antique wardrobes. They’re quite beautiful. You sound like me I put everything into making my space romantic. Took me months to find the right rug. I enjoyed thanks for posting.

I totally enjoy your enthusiasm and happiness when you speak about all the lovely pieces that go into your home! Your smile is infectious!❤

A rug is always a good idea, Kylie. It makes any room looks more elegant and cozy

I love visiting the profumeria on Florence. I use Rosa Gardenia perfume. I will be in Florence in a month and I will be looking to see if there are beautiful boxes there! A friend who has never been inn Italy will be with need. We have been friends for 60 years. I can't wait to show her SMN profumeria!

Lovely!!!!!! I remember the paint color trials! You come a long way!! Enjoy a bath by candlelight ❤

Your home is filled with beauty! The last rug is elegant, suits the space, and will retain its value. You could dress the windows and bed in only white muslin and it would still be beautiful. A drapery fabric may come into your life in future.

This was a great episode- can't wait to see the next one! It's amazing when you visit the second hand and antique places. You can see how much you enjoy it 😊👌

Oh yes, that darker rug is just perfect...so satisfying. What a blessing we don't have to use chamber pots anymore. :)

Just a little advice on the mold issues which plague Tuscany in the summer Kylie. Your beautiful hyacinth reed baskets absorb moisture from the air and they will start to grow fluffy mold. I know because I have a beautiful hyacinth reed basket with a very large Zanzibar plant in it and a Vietnamese hyacinth reed shopping basket and both have had mold issues in the SEQ summer humidity. Ventilation and sunshine are your savours for keeping these beautiful baskets fresh and dry 🙏❤️ Yours and Guido’s home is looking loved and cherished once again ❤️❤️❤️🌺

It took me one year to find the perfect rug for my bedroom. I knew it was the right one as soon as I saw it! Kylie, your home is beautiful! And the views, oh my!

Isn't it funny how weather changes from week to week? We were down at 7 degrees F just ten days ago and this week we are up around 60 degrees during the day. Crazy! It's wonderful that your father is out kayaking in the pool! I turned 62 earlier this month and have thought for a couple of years that I'd like to take up kayaking. Lots of little lakes around North Texas. ;) GianFranco sure is toddling around! It's fun to see how curious he is. I bet he is "talking" up a storm and vocalizing how excited he is about things around him. 💕The bathroom turned out so nicely! Thanks for taking us through your mood board for it and now for the bedroom. I think I would have bought the run, too. It's amazing all the stuff which can be crammed into a car even with carseats, shopping bags, suitcases and such!! I remember driving home from Texas (20+ years ago when my brother and his family lived here with the US Air Force.), my two young children and I stopped in Arizona and hauled back a vintage desk with small glass-fronted bookshelf attached for my daughter's room. I also found a vintage chandelier. Good memories! Plus, you get to enjoy something and give it love again. Real beauty in old pieces!! Glad you found a wardrobe for your bedroom and some other pieces for other rooms! Btw, you look great!! All that working out is doing its job and making you fit and lean again. Something else I am working on this year. ;) Happy almost February to you and your family, Kylee! Hugs from Texas, Barb 😄

Just magical!...I was so blown away when I watched this video, I totally understand how you feel...not sure I could have chosen, it's a "confusion of abundance"...so whatever you bought is a beauty ...

You’re very inspirational to many women’s !

Dear Kylie, and all who reads this: sometimes it could be annoying that your beloved husband might be so opinionated but it is truly a blessing in a way that he is so involved and cares about the decor and the overall aesthetic of the room 😅 too much of anything is a problem but I rather have him be part of the process than you having to do everything alone and not being appreciated for the time an effort that it takes to make the house a family home. I’m enjoying these past episodes a lot since I came back from my YT seasonal break 😊❤

Your bedroom is going to be so beautiful! Well done on all you have done so far. How special that your father is able to do so much to help you. Have you considered leaving the curtain rods the same length that they are now and not cutting them shorter? It would mean that the curtaining could be pushed over the walls and would not obscure any of the light coming in from the windows. It might mean that more fabric would be required though.

Absolutely stunning choices!

Kylie, you look absolutely beautiful today. Your happiness shines through :)

The rug is just gorgeous! I’m an interior designer in Austin Texas, and I was thinking to myself “green linen would be just perfect with that “ and then you said it! How beautiful it will be !❤

The jug of flowers look great on the shelf next to the towels. It also allows the jug to shine, rather than compete with your fabulous red tiles.

Falling in love with the wrong fabric is the story of my life haha. I always love things that don't fit.

It's all coming together beautifully. I think you must have the carpet you really want otherwise, you may always have a doubt, if you can, buy it. Lovely to see the beautiful Italian weather!

LOVE THE KOALAS ON THE JUMP SUIT! little Aussie Italiano babino!

Kylie I love your style. It’s effortless elegance! ❤

The more expensive carpet is gorgeous! Looks so rich. I always tell myself that in 6 months I won't remember the arguments for not spending the extra money, but I may regret not getting what I really loved. The colors throughout this film were so saturated and lovely.

Oh my goodness! I could spend an entire day in a vintage shop! Looks like Italy has some incredible ones. Your bathroom looks amazing Kylie! All that hard work was worth it. Bravo!

The rugs you were showing are beautiful. The bathroom looks great

Please remember that any oriental carpet it’s necessary to put a rubber mat underneath in order that when the dirt or sand from shoes or feet sift through the threads it won’t disturb the weave! It also maintains the life of the rug as well!!

Another beautiful video and I just adore all the aesthetic and textiles you’ve chosen for this beautiful home of yours!!

You have some lovely flat surfaces on your wardrobe. It might be pretty to find a wallpaper for the center of the doors and paint the rest an accent color that’s in the paper you choose. Plus, be on the lookout for some interesting hardware in second hand stores.

Kylie, that rug! IMO, it's perfect. It gives you a balance of darker and lighter backgrounds. It has that gorgeous blue that ties into the chandelier, as well as the green. And to cap it off, the shape of the pattern mimics the arabesque-like shapes in the bed frame! It will look lovely against the white bed linens. I agree with the choice of solid curtains and it will be easier to find a trim that complements the rug. Of course, you can trim all the edges, but I think adding a wide brocade trim just across the bottom will give you that luxurious feel you're looking for💙. Can't wait to see it all come together!

Yes! If you absolutely love it, you will never get tired of it and you wouldn’t have wasted your money.

wow wow wow that old pictures of the furnitcher thats what you need in your house to make it look from way back in time just love it

Very very nice, the bathroom looks fantastic. It’s always hard to try and match fabrics with other materials. Maybe you should do a sample board. Collect samples of fabrics and paint colours, then build your board. Take your board with you when out looking for things. Once you’re happy then you can purchase. There is no second guessing. Or taking things back because you realised they do not go. Makes interior design a bit easier. You still have done an excellent job. You should be proud of your self. ❤️👍❤️

The greatest thing about this video is your absolute joy and enthusiasm for what you've achieved and what you and Guido have been looking at and found! No matter what everyone says, (and tastes vary hence "Degustibus non est disputandem") THIS is all that matters! I looked at your "mood board" pics and they are mire or less all french interiors, most with light painted floors and Aubusson style tapestries in beautifully worn chateau or manor settings. Lovely as they are, it's a different setting than your beautiful tuscan farm house, and working with the TONS of charm already present, instead of against it towards a different style entirely would be a pity. I understand your love of heavy embroidery or silks with gathered legnths on the floors, I do! But it's not that type of house, not the french 17-18th century windows, and it's not very practical either in a home with little feet and sticky hands, and hotter weather (and those types of curtains need heavy lining or are ruined in a matter of a coupke of years in the sun, and arent ever meant to be drawn across the window for the night either). I think the choice to go with pure linnen is much more in keeping with your house and location and the green will be beautiful, provide shade, and is easily washed and ironed, and just as charming ironed as it is naturally wrinkled and gathered as well. I agree with what you said about light rugs against the cotto floor. That would be a mistake and require a gigantic size or break up the floor and look like an island. I did like thr Ziegler style one thay was a grey-blue and gold hue. No 2 i think in the "test motage" of the first batch, but the others didn't look right. The last one we saw too little of in place to really tell. It does work with the wrought iron bed, but wasn't what I'd expected. I'd likely have gone with a deep mottled burgundy close to the color of the floor, for harmony, or a flat woven turkish kelim/kilim style rug which I love for a tiled floor. What's important is you are in love with your choices! The wardrobe looks like it could be great painted! And very practical, which is key for young family life. I think I'd keep a lookout for some textile of sorts to hang behind the headboard over the closed cupboard. Like a tapenstry, an old quilt, or classic Suzani wall hanging (it's a type of tree of life motif often with birds and pomegranates in a form of Indian embroidery common in fine English interiors, easily found on Etsy for example). I'd keep my eye open for something that might work whilst concentrating on priorities. Your bathroom in the sunlight is a real dream! Not bothered at all by the simple solutions of linnen, baskets, etc, less is more, so much already speaks there! I'm incredibly jealous of your weather! My gosh, weve had around - 6 to -18 c here for months and now since a week its +-0 to +3 and wet and foggy and very dark with the snow all gone. And spring wont arrive yet until mid April sometime. I'm sensitive it's depressing to me. Whats more exiting is I was gifted a 4x5meter persian rug by dear friends who moved and couldnt fit it in their smaller home, it's the most luxurious gift and an unusual bright coral color with dark and pale blue ornamentation around it, and entirely unexpected! I'm now busy thinking how to revamp my living room so it harmonizes which is exiting. Good quality handknotted salon rugs in fine condition are beyond my reach these days, so I'm chuffed to say the least! It will add warmth and energy to my north facing livingroom in this climate that has a long dark winter. So here's to Persian rugs! Woot! Oh and Kylie, never use the brush bit when vacuuming a real oriental rug. It's a big nono. 😉

I love what you've done with your bathroom. It looks so clean and fresh, yet also like it could have been there all these years. You've got an eye for bringing items into your home that fit the look and feel perfectly!

Looking beautiful, Kylie! Well-deserved excitement and lovely design chouces! ❤ Brava!

So nice ,Kylie 🥰It is a real pleasure watching you!

Kylie, the rug is STUNNING! ❤

Watching your videos and seeing your house, the land, the food, the people... It's just like you're reciving a big, warmful and serene smile. That's the energy that surronds me everytime I put myself down and slow down a little bit to see your videos. And the bathroom, the bedroom, with all that natural materials and rustic touch, plus the green and wide fields and the sunlight softly invading the room... it's like softly being hugged by nature. A true bless of God. Congratulations for the hard work! You really bring beauty to the world with your eyes and hands

I love it its rich in colour! and they dark floor fits and green brings the outside in.. I adore the light/chandelier! Flower in vase on the shelf less crowded and shows them off. You are a bathroom nut like me! ahaha I decorate my bathroom as much as any other room hahaha

Your dad! In the kayak-in the pool!🤣🥰❤️

“Buy the best and only cry once!”

I love the current incarnation of the home. It's so beautiful. It's even more beautiful knowing that you two created the vision and help to bring it to life.

In the USA they advertise a bath mat called PurrPalazzo bath mat. It is made of some type of stone and drys really quickly and comes in colors. If I had your stone floor I would put a backing on it or lay it in a tray type thing, we have them for boots and called boot tray to protect the floor. But that might work because you would not have to wash it often and it would dry quickly.
