    Love everything. Since you are no longer hanging laundry might I suggest some sort of a plant screen along that side of the terrace for shade and privacy? Your dishes were worth the wait. Enjoy!

      A privacy screen on the old wash line side of the deck is a great idea and can be made of a metal screening nowadays with a pattern of your choosing, not requiring any watering while giving you a more intimate space. Beautiful property Julie.

    Stunning!! What an exquisite collection of art, antiques & home furnishings. .Each room has a warmth & cosiness feel about them. The hand painted crockery was the piece de resistance
    Just a few suggested finishing touches:
    1. A throw rug over the sofa in the kitchen/dining room with colour accents of the grey & sage,
    2. Outdoor umbrellas for the balcony & a terracotta outdoor fireplace, making the outdoor space more comfortable during both the summer & winter seasons.
    Thank you for sharing your journey. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your beautiful Italian family home come to life.

    Awesome progress! You need a privacy screen with vines or trees on your deck, on side opposite the olive trees so your eye goes to view rather than mechanical units on next door balcony. I lived in Milan and we used Camellia trees serviced by drip system. Entry table- center under painting. boys room - indian fabric hanging behind each headboard that becomes a simple awning style canopy made with bamboo rods hanging from ceiling. master bed needs Euros to soften headboard. Living room needs some modern elements for juxtaposition to all the antique & scroll/florals. kitchen - move the painting down slightly closer to couch back to reduce gap. Just ideas but stunning Julie! You are amazing.

    In some of the automotive restoration community, they will go over slight rust as well as the original paint, seal it, and call that patina, just like the tub. I like the look on the tub, people have different likes, but that's why we are all different. The whole place looks quite nice, i see why family and friend's like to hang out there.
    G-d bless, and a happy new hear.

    So beautiful and comfortable and well put together with all of your flea market finds. "The hunt"! There's so much fun in the hunting of pieces for our homes, isn't there. You do eclectic so well. As for the couch in the kitchen...so interesting that it seemed controversial, as it's wonderful to have a comfy place for friends and family to gather while you're cooking and not be away in the other room. I love it! A wonderful choice, and I can see many, many gatherings in that hospitable kitchen in your future.

    Hi Julie! I love your little Italian house! It was so fun watching the progress as you were making it your own. Italy is a beautiful country and Tuscany is a favorite area of mine. My husband and I spent 2 weeks there, 15 years ago, for our 30th wedding anniversary. We even hiked the Cinque Terre.
    I love your kitchen drapes and as I was watching you close them in the video, I remembered long stick pulls that my grandmother had for her velvet ones. That might be a good idea for you, making it much easier to open and close them. Not sure if something like that is still available these days.
    Anyway, I'm always looking forward to your next adventure in Italy. Greetings from Edmonton Alberta Canada 👋🇨🇦

    You will need to get the largest containers for your olive trees that you can find and transplant them now, because if you wait until they are root bound, it won't be good for the trees and it will be very difficult for you to do later when they are bigger.

    All looks lovely! As an interior geek I just have two things that I think would make the space better: the curtain rod in the kitchen should be longer so that when curtains are open u can see the whole window. As they are now you are taking away from the natural light. Second, in the upstairs rooms the pictures seem to hang too high. The middle of the pictures should be approx eyesight height. :-)

    Have you decided what to do with the basement? Something crazy like a pool table? Or a wine cellar? Or Julie's Cafe Americano? So happy that you're happy! Can't wait for the next trip to the flea markets. Love and hugs from me in New Mexico USA.
