#101 FULL HOME and GARDEN TOUR (unfiltered) | Renovating our Abandoned Stone House in Italy

My preference would be for stone paving around the walkways and perimeter of the house. This will anchor it, be less maintenance and give you a flow around the house. It could even be extended as terrace into the future. With the amount of land you have, you will have ample flower and green areas to break up the contrast. Also - planting in movable pots will give you lots of style and landscaping choices. Whatever you decide….will be considered and magnificent ❤️

The roof line against the mountains must be one of the most stunning home comings. You will never tire of the daily changes of your area.

Greetings from 🇮🇪 This video is a gift from very gifted people. THANKS. When it comes to enhancing your outdoor space, pavers are a versatile and stylish choice. Not only do they offer durability and functionality, but they also offer endless possibilities for creativity and design. They can transform a simple patio, driveway or entryway into a visually captivating and functional space.

Stone paving like you did on your patio feels right.

I loved the tour! So many projects that still need to be done, but so many more that are already done! Loved the take in the bathroom with Vince showing in the mirror while filming you. Beautiful house, beautiful grounds ❤❤❤

It looks like the driveway and gardens were very well built a long time ago. A gradual restoration will bring back their glory with very little money, just hard work.

Tempo fa chiedevate un idea per la copertura del muretto in cortile che funge da panca . Visto che in questo video dite che avete avanzato molto piastrelle in cotto io vi consiglio di usarle per la copertura di questo muro . Io ho fatto la copertura dei muri in pietra con vecchie tavelle in cotto . Il risultato a mio avviso è molto gradevole , interrompe la pesantezza di tanta pietra che ci circonda proprio come per voi . Avevate parlato di una copertura in legno , ve lo sconsiglio perché sono da riverniciare spesso . Visto considerato che il lavoro esterno è sempre tanto meglio evitare di aggiungerne altro. Noi viviamo in un luogo situato a terrazzamenti e capisco bene la mole di lavoro

Congratulations! Knowing there are people like you in the world: thoughtful, conscientious and principled gives me great comfort and hope. Thank you for sharing your efforts.

That little piece of furniture on the kitchen counter is Dutch. The word eiren means eggs, meel means flour, rijst is rice, vermicelli is noodles, koffie is coffee, suiker is sugar, thee is tea. Incredible, they have a small piece of Dutch culinary culture. 😊😊👍👍

Perhaps a stone or brick path around the entrance will keep the dust down around the entrance and tie into the outdoor patio. It's always nice to live in the space and get the feel of it before purchasing pieces that make your home personal. I like this idea. I think this first bedroom will make a wonderful office. The ceiling light fixture in the bedroom is very beautiful. The stainless backsplash in the kitchen adds another amazing detail to the room. It reflects the light and your movement. Awesome choice. It's amazing what the two of you have achieved already. Bravo!!! ❤

Sono così felice che finalmente vi siate trasferiti, renderà il resto, pian pianino molto più facile! Auguroni!!! 😊

Отличный дом, симпатичный двор и совершенно обалденные виды!

Greeting from Miami. I hope you keep the stone path around the house, it really complements the structure and the back patio came out awesome. Love the work, wish it was me there. Enjoy the process and congratulations.

The wisteria plant is going to be a wonderful component to your outdoor patio, no matter what you choose for the seating. Thank you for such a great video. You are creating a slice of paradise for yourselves. Well done! ❤

The aerial in this video is awesome. You are very isolated where you live which I love. What a beautiful place! I really like that you’ve combined the old with the new. The inside work and the outside work have turned out so beautifully. You’ve both done a wonderful job making this a lovely place to live. ❤

Definitely make a stone or paver walkway around the house! Gravel will just add to the dust and you will forever be cleaning it out of everywhere! Instead of grass that can grow fast and require cutting, you can get seeds of native or environment-compatible ground cover that has limited vertical height. Consider creating concrete risers and topping with brick or stone pavers to create WIDE steps from the higher parking elevation to the walkway around the house.

Oh Maddy, gracias por realizar este maravilloso video, vimos a Vincent, como siempre "totalmente concentrado". De verdad es un honor que nos hagan parte de sus planes, sueños, y proyectos para el futuro, ahi estaremos !! Si viviera cerca de ustedes podría ayudar con el jardin, es algo que amo hacer, adoro la naturaleza y es mi prioridad cuidarla y conservarla. Ánimo, cada video es un paso mas a la realidad de sus sueños un abrazo y besos para caiú. Es tan hermosa❤❤❤ saludos de una Colombiana en Canada.

Thank you both for that video. It filled in some gaps in my understanding. Maddi, your architectural profession really came out in your descriptions of how and why you made the choices you did. Nice job! One thing for certain, we will have many more videos to enjoy watching the transformation of your home and land. Looking forward to watching you on your journey!❤

Je vous regarde depuis le début et je ne m'en lasse pas. Votre travail acharné a donné une maison tellement cosy et belle!!. Pour l'extérieur je choisirais une allée en pierre pour rejoindre la terrasse, les graviers sont désagréables sous les pieds, rentrent dans les chaussures et la maison et peuvent rayer vos tomettes. Pourquoi ne pas mettre une grande table rectangulaire et un banc contre le mur dans votre cuisine pour les dîners entre amis. Ainsi vous pouvez garder un coin bureau dans le salon et vous aurez plus de place dans la chambre pour des rangements. Quoi que vous choisissiez je suis sûre que ce sera parfait. A bientôt 👏👏👏👍😃🏡

I like the use of the stones on the exterior of the house, and pergola of metal, wooden pergolas become so work intensive and inconvenient if you plant any vines.
