I grew up surrounded by antiques as my parents were avid collectors. They later went into the business and I paid my way through university buying and selling antiques. So, I was very interested in this episode and noticed several things of interest. The two boxes in the storage room date from the 19th century. The smaller one is older, maybe about 1860 and the larger one, maybe 1880 or so. Both originally would have been used for storing blankets and linens and therefore were generally referred to as blanket boxes. The "flat-to-the-wall" pantry cupboard you liked was probably around 1870-80. That little love seat with the attached table with drawer was actually a phone chair (the phone would sit on the table and the drawer was for a phone book)) from about 1930s-40s. It's 18th century in style, which came back into vogue during the late art deco period in the late 1930s-40s. I look forward to your next antique shopping trip as it's interesting to see what the shops have in Italy.
I really enjoyed what you wrote here. My grandparents both had the phone chairs you are speaking of and we adored them. I have a very old phone and would love to pick up one of the phone chairs for fun, but we have antiques and a stuffed house.
It's incredible how one opens their window to view what is a paradisal almost fantasy view at their doorstep. I actually shrieked as you opened the window and the chirp of a bird in this breathtaking setting, was the first thing your senses are confronted with. Incredible! It's therapeutic to live as you live Kylie. I love Italy, but seeing it from your perspective, (not to mention your personal love story) it's a very different level of appreciation and love story I'm experiencing.Thank you for all your efforts, and sharing almost everything, that you are so blessed to have, with us. You're one very special girl!! xxx
I love how much affection you and Guido have for each other. The advice about procrastination is very helpful. I'm a morning person too! You have a pure heart and God is blessing you for it. You inspire your followers to work hard and to remember to reward yourself after you accomplish your goals.
Please save the farm records! They are invaluable and need to be in archival, acid-free containers. A research historian, like me, could reconstruct the story of the farm using them as primary sources. Yes, I'll volunteer!
Yes you must save the historical files and for future little babies, what a treasure to have pictures and creative things your great grandparents did. That priceless for family to see the pieces of them, to know parts of them especially since you could never meet them. To have a piece of who the were. You owe it to them since you are the person who has them. I had my maternal great grandparents painting in my home growing up and it was my most important thing I would of grab if there was a fire. So yes, you should find a place in your home for them.
I’m definitely a morning person. I love getting up early, I love the crisp air and the peacefulness of each morning, before the rest of the world wakes up.❤️
Italian night owl here. :-D Hard to get to bed before 4 a.m. and even harder to stand up before noon. But still, if you have to go to work and/or have a kid going to school, you fit into the system, get up at 5:45 am and try to get your brain and body to function (which is why I couldn't do a month without coffee!). Guido is lucky to have an understanding (or at least supportive) wife! Us night owls we need love and affection and understanding, we just are productive at different times! 🙂
Dear Kylie and Guido, Another fine video. I am totally enchanted with you two, the restoration work on the villa among all your other adventures. This week's trip to the thrift store reminded me of the many times my mother would get us kids into the car to drive the back country roads in search of a antique store seeking out something to add to her growing collection. She was very particular in which room something would go before falling in love deeper. She would point out small details like the raw silk interior fabric or the ornate table etchings. She would love you Kylie and Guido. Thank you for this lovely video and the trip down memory lane. See you next week. Ciao!
Hi Kylie, I only discovered your channel about two months ago. It gives me enormous pleasure to "work" my way through all your old videos. It gives me so much hope to see that such lovely and loving people as you and Guido exist. I'm seriously considering joining the ranks of your patrons, as you have deserved it a hundred times. Wishing you the very best. Márta
The records and picture books! Frame them in a display case and hang them. They are your kids history. This was awesome as always. Incredible storyline and cinematography, Kylie. You're such a sweetheart. Your hubby is a really good guy too😊
Arial footage, colours of the land, the little chapel-wow- the glowing stones- I cry a little for the beauty of it all. I love morning too! My guy sleeps in : ) The music is lovely...TY- Kylie & Guido.
I really enjoyed this episode (as I do all!). It was fun to go through the antique shops and to see others appreciate the craftsmanship of the past. The aerial photography is breathtaking! Every time I see the little round chapel, my heart sings. There is something just so beautiful about this building against the blue Tuscan sky...
Oh, our beautiful friend. You bring such beauty, elegance, and grace to us, please, don't apologize for a wrinkled dress. Take care, Love from California, USA
Absolutely enchanting! Those brilliant 20th century sketches are priceless! Stay blessed you two gorgeous soulmates.Praying that my happily unmarried son @ 35 meets a wonderful person like you & lives happily ever after.😁Your antique stores visit flooded me with nostalgic memories of me tagging along with my parents after church to the Staynor Auction House on Calcutta's famous Park Street to treat ourselves to the spectacular heirlooms of many a royal house.Thank you, Kylie for bringing in such joy & priceless memories.
Ciao Kylie! Another great video! So, I have been a subscriber for quite some time now. Since couple years now. It began when I was researching everything about Italy because I dreamed of living there. Now, at 52, I am moving to Florence one week from today! So next Friday I will be watching your newest video from bella Firenze! Thank you for being a part of making my dream come true!!! 🙂 ❤🇮🇹
So glad to hear how Guido’s disposition is! I’m exactly like him! Some people are morning people like my wife! Some people are night owls. I am at my best from 10 AM to 2 PM. 🙏🙏 And goodness, beauty and truth all in one video!
You could have some beautiful luxury holiday accommodation in your Farmhouse, I can just imagine going for beautiful walks, fabulous local food and wine, so relaxing...
I can definitely relate to Guido's dilemma. I've been putting off cleaning up and whitewashing my desks all year. Just looking at the mess just turned me off and made me grumpy until one day I decided to start with just one desk. Cleaning it up and out took the whole day. I painted it the next, and was so very pleased with the result that it gave me enough energy to finish the whole area. Now I'm so proud, and relieved and happy. A ton of weight came off my shoulders... 😍❤️
I started a 10-minute deal, where I would work for 10 minutes on one project and move on. The thing is once you start on something you get a good feeling for doing it and can accomplish far more than you ever intended when you start it. I have severe adult ADHD and for some reason, this works well for me. Anything over 10 minutes is a huge bonus for me.
I loved every part of this, the renovating, going through the trunks. moving the pieces, and searching for antique pieces in the shops. You are my favorite UA-camr, and definitely my favorite couple on UA-cam. I also love the art and craft you do to bring old pieces to a new life. I love reloved pieces. One other thing, my husband worked in a furniture factory in the summer and even made some fancy chairs for the Navy so I have a primo reupholsterer in my family. We are from the southern US and went to St. Louis for a visit. He asked to examine a chair a guy was sitting in and it was one my husband reupholstered as told by his number on the chair. Sometimes it is a very small world. I wish you good weather, good finds, good people, and a whole lot of luck thrown in the mix.
Wife's replying. You just described me. I was always grumpy at my husband it took me awhile to wake up in the morning. I'd give anything if he he was to be grumpy again. Over 20-years I don't care because wish he was here with me again because , who was diagnosed with cancer in your passed away last year nothing matters as long as you love each other
You are beautiful such a beautiful couple together. To see the love between you two is outstanding congratulations on your wedding hope to hear of a special event
Did you know many of the things you've found in this ruin, those drawings etc. can be sold and you'll have many buyers? . These are precious antiques. I love when you mentioned Guido gets grumpy in the morning lol. I can picture you getting up at 6am and having your espresso and going for a jog,while Guido is resting. He's more lay back and you have alot of energy. That's why you both are great for each other. You have awesome qualities. You're a great cook, designer, film producer, great imagination (you can make something beautiful out of something so insignificant), great therapist for giving advice, compassionate, patient, great w/fashion, great personality and very beautiful!! I mean, your good at so so many things!... We love watching you and Guido! Love love your videos!!! ❤️XO!
Ciao Kyle and Guido another beautiful episode! I am suffering from depression and your videos inspire me and I want to go back to Italy. Such a beautiful and magical place! Buona Jobba ! Well done !
I lived in Germany for a couple of decades... my most beautiful Sundays would be strolling around the many flea markets in Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Berlin, Hamburg... I miss it very much... and most of my household was bought in flea markets... lots of treasures... it was very entertaining and exciting to follow you through that store... Thank you for sharing... It also inspired me to go through lots of stuff to get rid of, because I am returning to Europe and I vowed to take only two suitcases and start all over again from zero... that will be fun!
Yep, I have a junk room instead of drawer as well. I have 2 huge chests like yours, they came over with my ancestors from Germany, my mom used one to store old Christmas decorations, the other seasonal clothes. Even tho I know a drone is filming the aerial views, that music has me picturing myself hang gliding over the farm, drifting like a butterfly. I love the story that's unfolding with this renovation. Look forward to Ep. 12.
A tip I have recently passed along to my son in his first year of University... Just a few squirts from a squirt bottle and shake it out and your clothes are good to go - wrinkle free. I actually packed an Iron on an airplane once, now I just pack a mini-squirt bottle. Cheers!
Love the drawings!!!.... definitely have to put that on the coffee table!!!.....I have a grumpy Italian husband who procrastinates as well..... can't get him to do any construction projects around the house.....he's great at fixing anything mechanical.....sooo stubborn!!!.....the fact that it hurts his pride to hire anyone to do the work that needs to be done around here, leaves me at a stand still.....like you said, it's the getting started where the true struggle lies.....I think as human beings anything that takes patients , and energy along with the unknown (like house projects).....can be frightening....hence the procrastination....
I have TWO junk rooms! Once my three children moved out I was left with three extra bedrooms and so one has the so-called *junk* and the other has the stuff heading to good will ... I just cannot get any of it downstairs as I have a chair lift that takes me up and down so when my sons come over I TRY to get them to help move things around ... NOT an easy task! I use to do a lot of antiquing (second hand stores) but then somewhere along the way ... I decided I wanted all new and more contemporary items so I went shopping ... thanks to my inheritance from my parents. I treat it all very special as it is for sure. Love, Sharon Rose
Greetings from Washington State! That sketch book looks as though Guido's grandfather could have been the Italian Dr. Seuss. Amazing artistic talent. Great for you too. My wife and I will be retiring to Toscana in the next 2 years also.
Buongiorno principessa! ("Life is Beautiful" film) is how I greet my doggie each morning. We rise early so I can do yoga & she can enjoy the cool morning before temps get to 85° + here in Honduras! You're wise to let Grumpy get his beauty sleep! Love your stories and look forward to each new chapter. ☺
oh, minute 10 is so beautiful❤️ if I could be that drone and start my mornings flying around the land before everyone is awake and take it all in😌 I could look at something infinite times with those beautiful lights bringing it to magic as it is old and new everytime❤️ahh thank you, what a lovely and peaceful journey this day to day life can be:)
I'll never understand morning persons ☀️ when I have to wake up very early say 6 am I'm sad and everything hurts me and I think about meaning of life till noon 🙃 but when I wake up (at 7:30) I have energy till 23 pm Guido is super normal, not grumpy 😁
Love Love Love this episode. I have been watching you for a while after discovering your channel at the beginning of lockdown last year here in Melbourne Australia. I love my Saturday morning tea watching your latest episode, and i cant tell you how much it has helped escaping to the beautiful scenery, the music the cinematography and your positivity and creativity. Love Love Love 💗
I am a morning person to. Let your precious husband sleep a little longer. I love that green dress Kylie. U are so gorgeous,everything looks gorgeous on you. I LOVE the part of the video you and Guido eating pasta and Italian music was on. I could picture my Italian grandma name LOUISA, having her pasta in her Tuscany home. LOVE you guys. ❤❤ From 77years old lady from Toronto Ontario Canada. I just LOVE your video. Will watch it again with a small glass of Italy wine. But to early now . It's 5.14 pm Will watch at my dinner time CIA TO U BOTH🇮🇹 FROM 🇨🇦❤❤❤
After a challenging week of work, this is an absolute joy to watch. You and Guido are a match made in heaven. Everyone gets grumpy, it’s human nature. I’m sure it doesn’t last long with a ray of sunshine like you around to make life absolutely wonderful. You are both blessed to have found each other. Can’t wait to see next week’s chapter. My mouth was watering watching you guys eat the pasta. It reminded me of that scene in Eat, Pray, Love where Julia Robert’s was eating pasta in Italy with her friends. Thank you for making these videos 😊 Have a wonderful weekend 🤗
Thank you for this. I love the 'day in the life' nature of your films. Showing us the detail without losing the 'filmy' nature of your style. Bravo. It also helps tide my wife and I over until our next visit (Spring 2022). We have family in Liguria and spend 5-6 weeks there every second year with brief hiccups caused by global pandemics..
Just discovered your website and UA-cam videos today. Thoroughly enjoying the travels around Italy with you and watching your excitement and enchantment with all those lovely antiques.
I loved seeing everything, from the old ledgers to the artwork of Guido's grandfather. What amazing history in that one room! Thank you for such beautiful videos.
You are a wonderful energetic person and a blessing to your husband for helping to clear out that room as you said we all have but don't get to eager to even start on it.
Kylie, you need to get Guidos Architectural text books out and the engineering books, and start reading about what can be kept and what can not structurally. Learn about timber and what happens to it over time and how it can be treated and preserved ( if you don't know already). Learn about lime plaster stucco etc. you'll love it.
same story with my ex and i... I'm a morning person and he was so intensely grumpy every morning. French. anyway now we are split... the kids had a bad time with him last weekend. my son accidentally dropped a huge jar of nutella first thing on Saturday morning, it smashed on the floor.... what a way to begin the weekend! it was all downhill from there. honestly, this story made me laugh so much. it's like the worst morning you can imagine in France. the nutella dissaster.. . I'm currently up at 6am feeling amazing. i love mornings so much. i can't understand why people want to sleep all morning... they miss the best part of the day. you're either a morning person or you aren't I've decided. now i live in countryside in france. i bought a good quality microphone. sometimes i record the morning sounds of the village waking up... love it.

Thanks for such an interesting comment there is so much we don`t know thanks
I cried when the beautiful rock room got plastered. I LOVE ROCKS, BLOCKS AND STONEWORK.
It's incredible how one opens their window to view what is a paradisal almost fantasy view at their doorstep. I actually shrieked as you opened the window and the chirp of a bird in this breathtaking setting, was the first thing your senses are confronted with. Incredible!

You're one very special girl!! xxx
I often have no words to express how beautifully your videos are. They make me feel as if I live in Italy. So I will just say thank you.
I love how much affection you and Guido have for each other. The advice about procrastination is very helpful. I'm a morning person too! You have a pure heart and God is blessing you for it. You inspire your followers to work hard and to remember to reward yourself after you accomplish your goals.
Thank you!! 💙💙💙💙💙
- makes this worth watching to me. I love love stories, even though I am perpetually single.
Please save the farm records! They are invaluable and need to be in archival, acid-free containers. A research historian, like me, could reconstruct the story of the farm using them as primary sources. Yes, I'll volunteer!
Also all the artwork needs to be kept in acid free containers. Please don't put them in plastic tubs
I am sitting here with a glass of wine, knitting a sweater, dreaming of Italy. Thank you, Kylie, and grumpy Guido. 😆
I don't know another person so far more passionate and joyful than this woman, if only I could have a tiny part of her passion !
Yes you must save the historical files and for future little babies, what a treasure to have pictures and creative things your great grandparents did. That priceless for family to see the pieces of them, to know parts of them especially since you could never meet them. To have a piece of who the were. You owe it to them since you are the person who has them. I had my maternal great grandparents painting in my home growing up and it was my most important thing I would of grab if there was a fire. So yes, you should find a place in your home for them.
I’m definitely a morning person. I love getting up early, I love the crisp air and the peacefulness of each morning, before the rest of the world wakes up.❤️
Yes!!! Exactly! 🌞
I love aaaall what you said but still can't get up early 😕😕

She would love you Kylie and Guido. Thank you for this lovely video and the trip down memory lane. See you next week. Ciao!
I am liking Guido more and more, he is a really good balance for you Kylie, in fact you both fit so well together
You are full of love, warmth and sunshine.
Hi Kylie, I only discovered your channel about two months ago. It gives me enormous pleasure to "work" my way through all your old videos.

Thank you Márta! I’m so happy it gives you hope. We all need a little hope. 😊💙🙏
You keep
My faith in beauty alive xxx
The records and picture books! Frame them in a display case and hang them. They are your kids history. This was awesome as always. Incredible storyline and cinematography, Kylie. You're such a sweetheart. Your hubby is a really good guy too😊
Oh yes!! You must keep the old accounts!!! It is a part of history!! I so love your vlogs!! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Arial footage, colours of the land, the little chapel-wow- the glowing stones- I cry a little for the beauty of it all. I love morning too! My guy sleeps in : ) The music is lovely...TY- Kylie & Guido.
I absolutely loved it again ♥️ and wow ! You are a morning and night, you are a HAPPY person in a very stressed, needy world… what a blessing 😘✨
I really enjoyed this episode (as I do all!). It was fun to go through the antique shops and to see others appreciate the craftsmanship of the past. The aerial photography is breathtaking! Every time I see the little round chapel, my heart sings. There is something just so beautiful about this building against the blue Tuscan sky...
Oh I did wonder if people might be sick of the chapel but every time the light hits the stone in different ways I can’t help but want to film it. 🥰
Oh, our beautiful friend. You bring such beauty, elegance, and grace to us, please, don't apologize for a wrinkled dress. Take care, Love from California, USA
Smiled all the way through AGAIN!🤣 Guido eating the lunch was both hilarious and endearing. Bless him. Thank you for sharing beautiful Kylie.🌻🌞🥳😊
Absolutely enchanting! Those brilliant 20th century sketches are priceless! Stay blessed you two gorgeous soulmates.Praying that my happily unmarried son @ 35 meets a wonderful person like you & lives happily ever after.😁Your antique stores visit flooded me with nostalgic memories of me tagging along with my parents after church to the Staynor Auction House on Calcutta's famous Park Street to treat ourselves to the spectacular heirlooms of many a royal house.Thank you, Kylie for bringing in such joy & priceless memories.

Over 20-years I don't care because wish he was here with me again because , who was diagnosed with cancer in your passed away last year nothing matters as long as you love each other
Oh I’m so sorry. You’re certainly right. Love can transcend almost everything. 💙
You are beautiful such a beautiful couple together. To see the love between you two is outstanding congratulations on your wedding hope to hear of a special event
What a gorgeous view of your home and landscape.
Wait until the end!! The pasta makes me miss Italia even more!!!

The dress not being ironed was what made me push the subscribe button✌️
Il fascino della storia ,gli oggetti rivivono .Bellissimo!
Kylie you are a breath of fresh air 😩
😘😘😘😘
Those drawings by his Grandfather would look great framed!!!🥰
Love the music!! Antiques, lunch brava👍👍💜

This was wonderful! I could feel your excitement, looking at all the antiques, like kids in a candy store! ❤
Greetings from Washington State! That sketch book looks as though Guido's grandfather could have been the Italian Dr. Seuss. Amazing artistic talent. Great for you too. My wife and I will be retiring to Toscana in the next 2 years also.

Keep the records. The future deserves them and you have no idea how valuable that data would be to historians.
An Italian friend of mine called a room like that (with all the stuff she didn't want to deal with) "il sottoconscio" (The Subconscious). Hilarious!
your lunch caused my mouth to water - yummy! Thank you for sharing your life with us all!!!
Until friday Kylie! Thank you of showing me ttose stunning antique furniture!
Such a beautiful home and couple. Thank you for sharing
I’m with Guido! I hate mornings, always have ☺️
Boun pranso!!! Mangi belli!! Enjoy! Blessings 🥂
oh, minute 10 is so beautiful❤️ if I could be that drone and start my mornings flying around the land before everyone is awake and take it all in😌 I could look at something infinite times with those beautiful lights bringing it to magic as it is old and new everytime❤️ahh

old ledger a junk journal's heaven!!!
I'll never understand morning persons ☀️ when I have to wake up very early say 6 am I'm sad and everything hurts me and I think about meaning of life till noon 🙃 but when I wake up (at 7:30) I have energy till 23 pm
Guido is super normal, not grumpy 😁
Love Love Love this episode. I have been watching you for a while after discovering your channel at the beginning of lockdown last year here in Melbourne Australia. I love my Saturday morning tea watching your latest episode, and i cant tell you how much it has helped escaping to the beautiful scenery, the music the cinematography and your positivity and creativity. Love Love Love 💗
I am a morning person to.
Let your precious husband sleep a little longer.
I love that green dress Kylie.
U are so gorgeous,everything looks gorgeous on you.
I LOVE the part of the video you and Guido eating pasta and Italian music was on.
I could picture my Italian grandma name LOUISA, having her pasta in her Tuscany home.
LOVE you guys. ❤❤
From 77years old lady from Toronto Ontario Canada.

CIA TO U BOTH🇮🇹
FROM 🇨🇦❤❤❤
Your videos help me escape the stresses of work and life during these times. Thank you for doing what you do!
It's nice always nice to see you both again and again.
Love from India to Italy. 👍🏻👌🙏
After a challenging week of work, this is an absolute joy to watch. You and Guido are a match made in heaven. Everyone gets grumpy, it’s human nature. I’m sure it doesn’t last long with a ray of sunshine like you around to make life absolutely wonderful. You are both blessed to have found each other. Can’t wait to see next week’s chapter. My mouth was watering watching you guys eat the pasta. It reminded me of that scene in Eat, Pray, Love where Julia Robert’s was eating pasta in Italy with her friends. Thank you for making these videos 😊 Have a wonderful weekend 🤗
I'm always amazed at the amount of work you do! You must sleep so well! It would be so cool to shop and see all of the vintage furniture in Italy!
Oh my goodness! The drawings are amazing!
Thank you for this. I love the 'day in the life' nature of your films. Showing us the detail without losing the 'filmy' nature of your style. Bravo. It also helps tide my wife and I over until our next visit (Spring 2022). We have family in Liguria and spend 5-6 weeks there every second year with brief hiccups caused by global pandemics..
Frame the sketches, they wonderful!
Just discovered your website and UA-cam videos today. Thoroughly enjoying the travels around Italy with you and watching your excitement and enchantment with all those lovely antiques.
Your such a hard worker and so enthusiastic
I loved seeing everything, from the old ledgers to the artwork of Guido's grandfather. What amazing history in that one room! Thank you for such beautiful videos.
beautiful, every `home needs an active `lady like you !
so relaxing watching your videos before sleep
A challenge to sort out something like this, but well worth it and how wonderful to find so many hidden treasures thank you for sharing
Very interesting to see Italian antique store. Thank you.
Kylie I love love love all of your music choices!
That piece of marble can be great for tempering chocolate and baking worktop!
You are a wonderful energetic person and a blessing to your husband for helping to clear out that room as you said we all have but don't get to eager to even start on it.
The blessing is, you are both young enough to enjoy the fruits of your labour in your later years.
Great video once again! My Saturday morning treat here in NZ - in bed with a hot drink and my Italian fix. Thank you Kylie.
Thank you for taking us to the thrift stores. So many antiques to chose from.
You should print postcards of vis grandfather’s drawings... for your patreons e.g. 😘😘
Or display them on the walls in groupings.
Kylie, you need to get Guidos Architectural text books out and the engineering books, and start reading about what can be kept and what can not structurally.
Learn about timber and what happens to it over time and how it can be treated and preserved ( if you don't know already).
Learn about lime plaster stucco etc. you'll love it.
Stunning episode
These videos are truly a blessing ✨♥️
same story with my ex and i... I'm a morning person and he was so intensely grumpy every morning. French. anyway now we are split... the kids had a bad time with him last weekend. my son accidentally dropped a huge jar of nutella first thing on Saturday morning, it smashed on the floor.... what a way to begin the weekend! it was all downhill from there. honestly, this story made me laugh so much. it's like the worst morning you can imagine in France. the nutella dissaster.. . I'm currently up at 6am feeling amazing. i love mornings so much. i can't understand why people want to sleep all morning... they miss the best part of the day. you're either a morning person or you aren't I've decided. now i live in countryside in france. i bought a good quality microphone. sometimes i record the morning sounds of the village waking up... love it.
The piece of furniture @17:34 with the marble top caught my eye. That would make a nice piece for either the kitchen or dining room.
Just love watching you work on your beautiful home, thanks for sharing.
So many beautiful warm feelings from this episode. I can't begin to comment on everything that moved me. Thank you for bringing us along.
Kylie, I loved when you said I'll take the mirror and the man behind it!
Priceless! Thank you for bringing Italy to me. Look forward to every Friday
Oh my gosh Kylie I would go crazy in their thrift stores. Gorgeous stuff!
Yes, thanks for taking us with you bella kylie🤗👍😘
