How wonderful to hear that seller talk about the foreigners’ love for the original materials. I’m Swiss and we have a 300 years old vacation house in the Italian part of Switzerland. My parents bought it 40 years ago and invested a lot of love, sweat and tears in getting it from a ruin back to its former glory, using old materials, like flooring and paint colours. Often foreigners are depicted as lacking culture.
Kylie, what you are doing is fantastic. People today are so lost without heart or soul focused living. And when you do artwork, and when you put your heart into your work as you are showing us, you help us all bring our heart and soul back into our lives. Bravo! I encourage you to keep doing this, we need it so much.
Ugh I LOVE when you incorporate audio of you speaking Italian and include Italian subtitles!! I'm just beginning to learn the language and I appreciate it so much ! 🌹
Kylie, if anyone ever asks you why you love Italy, just direct them to this video. It reveals a lot about why you love the country and the culture. You appreciate authentic beauty over modern, artificial, and manufactured aesthetics. Real beauty does not need to be expensive, but it does require a lot of work (by hand). You are decorating your kitchen like we used to decorate churches. The modern churches in America are ugly by comparison. Your new cucina is looking great. The white is a big improvement and the hand-painted decor is beautiful too. I look forward to seeing the new stove. Your love of authentic beauty is inspiring. You decorate your kitchen just like you make videos. A tremendous attention to detail that most people are unwilling to do because they don't want to do the work. The finished product, however, is bellissima. :-)
I completely agree. Her appreciation for beauty is so inspiring. I grew up in a household that only appreciated new furniture, newly built homes and I was discouraged from collecting "junk". Old homes have such beautiful characteristics, which you can no longer find in newly built homes. Thank you kylie, always ❤
@@gladyrose21 Thank you, Glady Rose. Aside from all of the beauty that Kylie is bringing to this Tuscan home, there is also some relationship humor just below the surface. The old kitchen was perfectly fine for a bachelor who probably didn't do a lot of cooking. Women help men in a variety of ways, including helping us to convert a kitchen from something a college student might furnish and sparingly use to something with real appliances for a talented chef. Also, the brief video at the beginning of Kylie in the window mixing something in a large bowl serves no purpose other than to get you to smile. It's why she is so talented. You see those kinds of scenes in movies, but never in UA-cam videos.
@@LeeMoraglio It is amazing what Kylie creates and her view of life and the world she experiences and brings forth ever so gently in her videos. A true artist's soul.
My goodness! The love she has poured into this project...hand painting the stencil on the border of the tiles. That’s painstaking effort! Fantastic project.
I love how I watched your Italy videos before I moved here in October 2018 & now I'm sitting in my own little cucina in Rome, watching your new videos & not even having to look at the subtitles... ♥️
This whole video speaks to my soul in a way that I cannot possibly put into words. I had the great honor of traveling throughout Italy twice for six weeks each trip. Every ounce of me wishes to go back, but the current pandemic makes that impossible for now. Watching these videos both fills with joy and also brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for making such art and sharing a soul that reminds me of my own.
Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It's hard to know how to get started. Trading the forex market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto currency at some point not until I got a proficient broker Mr.Bencesaro to handle my trades. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I'm not here to converse much but to share my testimony; I have made total returns of about 10.6BTC from an investment of just 1.95BTC.

Hi from Canada. Another wonderful film. As I watch more of your films, I find myself taking in the story & experience, and forgetting that you are also producer, director, writer, editor, cameraman, narrator, artist, craftsman, and renovator! Wonderful work.
No man can possibly forget that girl he was in love with, who painted his kitchen... And the conversation with the gentleman selling antique objects... priceless ! Thank you for showing us the world through your eyes Kylie❤️
Glad I just stumbled upon your channel. I’m in the process of moving and have been watching some decorating channels and yours just popped up in my recommendations. I’m moving from a 4 year old cookie cutter home in a typical American suburban neighborhood to a home almost 70 years old in the historical section of town. The home I’m moving from has a man made pond in the backyard which they used soil they dug for the foundation of the houses here. This caused phosphorus levels to become too high, killing off beneficial bacteria so you can’t grow gardens here or fungus and viruses will overrun them. The place I’m moving to has mature trees in an established landscape next to a real river. I’m going to plant a little garden and decorate the old house. Your remodeling ventures are by far the best I’ve seen. My house is spanish inspired with front arches and a built in trellis I will grow a bougainvillea on, which makes your style and remodeling endeavors a perfect inspiration for how I’m remodeling. What I’ve just learned from you is take my time and don’t rush in and... research research research! Thank you for recording your journey for us. You’re very inspiring and so intelligent beyond your years. 💕
You have the innocent passion of a child coupled with the focused intention of an adult. I really like your style. The kitchen stencil on the tiles is amazing.
I wanted this video to go on forever ! I love how you see things, how you align your life and surround yourself with beauty and happiness. People never seem to understand why I always thrift homegoods, clothes, fridge, radio, armchairs, books, mirrors, even suitcases; they are constantly telling me that new objects "are better". But as you say, antiques or thrifted objects have a story, have a soul, and they also encourage upcycling and reusing vs consuming and producing. And that is where I want my money to go, encouraging small businesses and thriftshops. So thank you for making me feel that this uniqueness is shared and appreciated by you and also your lovely community! Lots of love!!
Kylie, your kitchen reno is just lovely and made my day. I love how you paid so much attention to detail. it's wonderful that you could access genuine Tuscan products. Some tips for future stencilling projects that may assist is to: 1. Buy more than one of the same stencil depending on the size of the job. 2. Use an adhesive stencil spray to prevent bleed through or smudging. The appropriate stencil spray will allow you to remove the stencil and place it in a different spot several times before you must respray. You don't need tape to hold it in place either and it creates nice sharp crisp outlines. make sure to spray the stencil with the adhesive on a piece of cardboard away from the surface being stencilled. I would advise researching relevant stencil spray adhesive products available in Italy that are also suited for the surface being stencilled. 3. Instead of a finger which worked wonderfully but is more time consuming, you could choose to use a craft/artist stencil brush (these are brushes designed specifically for stencilling, they look a bit like kabuki makeup brushes) or small sponge, which you load evenly with paint, then pounce a few times onto paper to remove excess before you apply to the stencil - by pouncing lightly. You will still have control of shading as you did with your fingers and also use another stencil brush/sponge to apply the second shade. 4. Another way to contrast the two shades as you did manually is to stencil in one shade, allow to dry, remove the stencil and reposition it so it is still over the design you just painted but slightly out of sync with it. With such a delicate design, your stencil would only be a few millimetres shifted above or below the painted design, then strategically apply the the second shade. This is a quicker method which still allows control over shading. Of course, experiment and practice first before attempting your masterpiece.
Wow I would love to do this. In my early 20s I brought a miner cottage and was happy single girl who wanted to do it up on her own. I met my builder hubby now married who helped me so much that it ended up being ours. And I really lost that chance to challenge myself without help. Now in my 30s with three young kids I have a secret plan to start a project like this in a few years when the kids dont need me as they require being so young. Thanks for inspiring that spark. Beauitful x
Hello, I'm an American. My husband loves Italy. I wanted to understand his love so I started studying the language and the culture. Your videos are so lovely and inspiring.
I literally shed a tear watching this. My family is from Italy and many of them still live there. The way Italians talk about objects and history is like no one else. Italy has a lot of issues but every time I go back, I fall deeper in love. How can you not???
Wonderful Kylie, so enjoyable. Just discovered your channel & I adore it. I am an Italian immigrant from Abruzzo, from a small village called Capestrano. I am now 62 years old and interestingly my love for Italy has only grown, even though I came to Melbourne in 1962 with my mother to meet my father here, and not remembering Italy at all ( of course having been back many times, since) my connection is very great. I am looking forward to this Covid nightmare to end so that we can all visit again. I think what your interview showed to is that Italians sometimes haven’t always appreciated what they have, I suppose that happens when you are surrounded with such beauty & history. I could go on for ages but suffice to say keep it up your doing a beautiful job, best of luck and keep safe. Auguri e buona fortuna, ciao Nella Watson
This video is amazing. I loved your inspo about the kitchen, the work on the tiles... the fact that you put italian subtitles shows me how you care about italian viewers that may not speak english and i think that's really nice. Also, you are so pretty!!
To appreciate the beauty of someone's hand in the making of something, or the soul of an object, that's the magic. Old olive wood spoons, a cast iron skillet generations old, I'd much rather have family pieces than new. Thank you Kylie for another wonderfully "poetic" message and visual treat. Your videos are something I look forward to each week. Congratulations on purchasing your home and lovely not so new kitchen!😊
Your speaking with the stone and antique shop owner provided a real insight in the differences of consciousness around man-made objects old vs. new. It brought a tear to my eye as I agree with the both of you of how objects can provide us with peace and comfort and undeniably have a soul. Thanks Kylie, I'm looking forward to next week's edition! I totally know that your cucina will have a beauty and soul as beautiful as yours.
Dear Kylie, This world is blessed to have a human being like you. I can see the beauty of this entire dimension we live in through your videos. You inspire me everyday to wake up and work for the life I dream of. I thank you for sharing this blissfull art with us. I wish you all the happiness and love :)
What a lovely soul you are, thank you for sharing so much passion and joy Kylie! and thank you for loving my country so much, it is truly heartwarming and moving...Grazie bellissima anima per come trasmetti e condividi gioia e passione, mi fai ri-innamorare ancor di più del mio paese, e mi emoziona vedere l’Italia attraverso i tuoi occhi... tanta felicità!! 🌷
Wow, I can't begin to explain how much this has inspired me. To find beauty in nature, in hard work, in culture. To find true happiness remembering what truly matters. No need to have a new, shiny kitchen with all the gadgets. Beauty and happiness are in the simplicity of pure life. Thank you so much Kylie for this video 💗
Kylie, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing that incredible reclamation centre, so, so beautiful! The kitchen IS the heart of the home and you are creating a beautiful one.
Hola io no parlo inglés sólo un po di italiano! Sono nata a Guadalajara jalisco Mexico! Ho cercato il tuo canale perché amo italia y particolare la Toscana! Per buona fortuna mia UA-cam mi da un video tuo !! Penso moltissimo importante. Per tuo canale mettere sotitulolo in italiano così molti persona guardarano tuo canale! Pleace più italiano parla o sotitulolo!!! Mille gracias por tus videos bellisimos son espectaculares ha una sensibilità incredibilmente!!! Bravissima Kyle!
I’m excited for your kitchen reveal. I just adore the conversation with the antiques dealer. Although in the USA, this is how I live! The richness that comes with history, natural materials and handmade products can’t be matched.
Ciao Kylie , Hope all is well ❤️ 🍰 Really enjoyed this video . You should give yourself a pat on the back for what you have achieved ....an Aussie speaking Italian beautifully, the sacrifices you have made and best of all living the life , your dream . Your cooking segments , travel , renovations , living a sustainable life , language tutorials , making your own clothes , giving your viewers a dance once in a while !!!! 🤗🤗🤗....you have it all !!!! ....Sei Speciale !!!!! ....you go girl !!!! ❤️🙏....love always Jimmy .🤗🌈
Hi Kylie, all that you do and say about Italy is why this immigrant daughter decided to move back to Italy 35 years ago when many of my friends and family in Canada thought I was crazy. I love ❤️ how you get excited about living here, I am the same and often times Italians just don't get it, they can't believe how I left Canada (known for it beautiful sceneries, and great standard of living) for the Italian way of life, 's ok though, I'm so happy here, more than I ever was there, living in Italy has given me so much. I always say Italy is like a diamond, everywhere you look at it it shines, wether with its perfections or its flaws. Can't wait for part 2 xx 😘 Olympia
Ooooh -- thank you! Can't wait for part two. You put so eloquently how so many of us feel about the spirit or souls of objects. Do we have long to wait? No pressure, obviously! xxx
Such a JOY to watch. I loved the conversation at the antique market, so much of what was said resonated with me as well. The history in an object cannot be replaced with a “vintage styled” piece, the history is embedded in the object. ... I also admire the slowness you have to make art (whether filming, baking, tiles, etc.) that really has made me change the way I approach each aspect of my day, that even the minor details deserve to be done with excellence- because each of those mundane moments are moments of MY life! Thank you for the constant inspiration! Looking forward to the reveal! 🌸🌸
I have been binge watching your videos since Ive discovered your channel I love your style your sweet calm voice and just your beautiful soul thank you !!
Bellissima!! What a fantastic interview - so interesting to meet someone with such a poetic understanding of materiality - if only more design clients had the same understanding 😅 can't wait for Part 2! Grazie! 🌻
As the tears start once again to roll down my cheeks and the lump in my throat starts to swell, I think to myself "she's done it again"! Beautifully captured on film, it's not just a kitchen makeover its life right there. I can't wait for part 2. Enjoy your first cook in your kitchen Kylie. Keep well kind Regards Karen x
You are an inspiration to all the young clever generation , as you can absorb a culture and take the best of it , as you are manly doing everything by yourself in the most italian fashion way ! You got it, you show to young italian and european what to do, as they don't appreciate their hovn culture as they are contaminated by the white noise the suffocate them! I can see your english getting faster, as you are be now in a different speaking tempo, it's just fine you are absorbing your environment, nothing to be concerned of. Love your eye contact so typical of italian , intense clever and with such desire to express before you say anything as italian do . Thanks to stimulate young peoples to be what they love to do and give young italian a real model to follow ! you are reinvigorating a culture lost in is apati !
Your videos inspire me on so many different levels. To travel back to Italy as soon as possible, to look for the beauty in things that surround me, to appreciate a more simple life. With everything going on in the US, I am even more determined to find my place of simple joy be it here or abroad. Life is too short (especially at my age 👵🏼) to not surround yourself with people and things that bring you joy. Thank you again for being such an inspiration ❤️
Please never ever stop creating content! Your work fills my soul like no other. I wish we lived closer and could strike up a friendship! Thanks for sharing your kitchen makeover journey Kylie! It looks terrific so far!
Been watching your videos (historical and new) for a few months now, Kylie, without comment and I thoroughly enjoyed the deep soul behind this one. Loved the conversation about culture and the visibility/feel of passion that simply oozed from it. All the best in your new home.
The way you apply yourself in every aspect of this renovation is remarkable. Watching you work with your whole heart in this project was beautiful. You must feel an immense sense of accomplishment. Well done once again, Kylie. I can't wait for part 2.
I love all your videos but this has touched the soul of why I love Italy and its history. How deep was the comment from passionate Danielle regarding when you touch some of the material and think that the discovery of American hadn't even happened. By the way your kitchen is makeover is looking so homely already. I love the personal paint touches. Can't wait to see the finished product.

omg you have the patience of a saint to do those stencils 💗💗💗
Kitchen is looking wonderful! The place that sells antiques was out of this world. I’m so happy that Italians are starting to again appreciate their historical glories. I guess it was a case of familiarity breeding contempt. But not now. Nothing beats natural from the earth materials touch hundreds of years ago by ??
Kylie, I love your work and your passion about Italy. A passion I share. I bought a home in Abruzzo and I feel so at peace when I’m there. Because of COVID, I haven’t been able to get back there for almost a year. You inspire this old man in many ways. I would love to meet you when I’m back “at home” in Italy. Keep doing the videos so at least I’ll feel like I’m there! Ciao.
Ohhhh😍 Beautiful work Kylie! I got ancient radios too my father used to collect them. Adore you give new Life to Ancient furniture ! Everyone should do that even with a little piece.....🤩Love and Blessings from Italy! ❣
Love love love. Kylie, I can hear and feel your soul wholly and completely with this video. Your excitement is infectious and I know that you will turn this beautiful farmhouse into a work of art, as you do with your beautiful films and poetry. I am aching for Italy now, even more than before. The wheels have been set in motion for me to move there in the next 18 months. Italy has always felt like "home" when I'm there, and, in no small part thanks to you and your incredible story telling and sharing, I've become even more convinced of that. You add such an air of romance and nostalgia to everything you do. From your cinematography to your own fashion sense, your cooking, your music and on and on ... its glorious. You deserve to have your work seen around the world. I love all the thought and detail that goes into everything you do. White and blue tiles are so elegant. You should connect with the Italian Tourism Board and show them how you can sell Italy because you do that with every video. Well done Kylie. Cannot wait to see the finished kitchen. Its going to be beautiful. How is your sister by the way? Is she with you or in Florence? Sending love to you both.
Miriam Wexler So compassionate and kind as always. Unfortunately my sister went through a hard time with some personal issues and had to leave Italy but she’s trying to carve out a new path on the island of Mallorca. Thank you for believing in me so for many years now, Miriam!
Me as a German I do also speak fluently italian because I lived there for one year tanti anni fa. Therefore I can say that you speak italian very very good and you have hardly any accent. Bravissima!
Oh my, Kylie! Home renovations, and kitchens, and antique, salvaged materials with a history are like, a semi-exhaustive list of my passions in life, so this video was such a treat! The little tour at the stone yard was so amazing, too! Those ancient mattonelle are so beautiful! Such a dream. And you could tell the pure passion in Daniele's words, especially when talking about his nonno. Grandparents are a universal treasure, I think, but here in Italy we tend to have such a strong relationship with our nonni, they really make us who we are, oftentimes raise us and teach us so much. I really resonated with that. Thank you so much for another great video, I'm so looking forward to part 2!
Kylie I have watched many of your programmes and this to me is the best one. It has a story and the section in the reclamation place has so much emotion a vital ingredient of any film. Please make more like this.
I could have watched all day ... how wonderful.. your Mr is very fortunate to have you, an incredible woman with such style grace and handiwork :-) look forward to seeing the rest
We love making everything ourselves too! We have remodeled our home ourselves and made our furniture. I can never find what I want or it’s way beyond our budget, so we make it and it’s even better! I paint and sew and have a head filled with ideas. That is why I love your channel, you are so creative and think outside the box. Can’t wait to see what you have accomplished!💙
Kylie,You never cease to amaze me..you make me fall in love with the Italian language already love the food and the culture...you make me even start studying the language..Keep the good work...cheers
I am so happy that the life you have chosen has the outcome of happiness. Abundance of blessings and may God continue to bless you always. Take care and stay safe. GODSPEED.
This just might be my favourite video of all time. This is PURE inspiration - I never would have thought a kitchen makeover could bring me to tears but it is the core values that connect us all, the values of passion, beauty, truth, love and dedication - I loved this video so much. The time and effort you put into your life makes me want to live a better life - la dolce vita!
Love the excitement, joy, and energy! I get excited too when I am around rustic and old antiques. The gentleman is right about each and every piece having it's own soul. Some things you just can't replicate. Society today is all about mass consumption and quick turnover. Unfortunately quality and durability is sacrificed and it makes me sad. I would love to place my hand on all those bricks! Imagine all the stories they would tell if they could talk. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen!!
Love it! Sometimes it's better not to have much money so that one must find a creative solution. My mother was an artist with little money. We used to say there was no interior decorating job she couldn't do with a can of paint!
KYLIE I love seeing your videos Let us see the finish of your kitchen. I feel I am in Italy watching u I live in Toronto Ontario Canada I am 76years old lady. My dad mom was Italian From Tuscany in Barga Luca she was born and left at 18years old Because her dad wanted to start a new life He when to England first With my grandma LOUISA DAPRATO Then a final move to Montreal QUEBEC Canada. So my grandma end up marrying a French man Had my dad and few other children And my dad married a French lady to But we love Italian food This often in our table I carry it from my grandma LOUISA DAPRATO. A Tuscany girl And would you believe I married a Jewish guy Very happy to Kylie Don't forget show us when it's all done When u will get your sink.stove and your new fridge I can't wait to see it Love from DIANE Have fun in Italy 🍝🍕🍷🇮🇹
I need to say that I love the way you film your videos, the music, the vibes.. everything! You make me want to reach my goal and dream even more! I am planning on moving to Italy next year and I can not wait. You are such an inspiration🥰
Bravo on your passion for your kitchen transformation. I did a similar kitchen redo many years ago, painting tired tiles and then stenciling (in blue!). Now that you have completed your beautiful stenciling, for your next project, there are stencil brushes that are thick, short, and round and are meant for pouncing on the stencil creating the exact antique and aged effect you achieved (but with less time). I think you could google the brushes for your next project. Beautiful kitchen. Bravo! That reclamation yard was incredible. What an organized mind the proprietor has. There was so much order. I love those places. Thank you for this delightful chapter of your kitchen reno. Looking forward to the next chapter. Ciao!
I loved the passion from the man at the reclamation yard. So touching when he spoke of his grandfather, I felt his emotion. You found the right place to get your sink, I can’t wait to see your culinary! I love that even in the face of uncertainty, you give it your all...you just gotta live! You are a delightful reminder for humanity right now. Just live, love and be good to each other. Ciao! 💕
How wonderful to hear that seller talk about the foreigners’ love for the original materials. I’m Swiss and we have a 300 years old vacation house in the Italian part of Switzerland. My parents bought it 40 years ago and invested a lot of love, sweat and tears in getting it from a ruin back to its former glory, using old materials, like flooring and paint colours. Often foreigners are depicted as lacking culture.

"All of us can have good taste. But those who are cultured appreciate it a lot more I think." That spoke to my soul. I agree, sir.
Hi from Canada. Another wonderful film. As I watch more of your films, I find myself taking in the story & experience, and forgetting that you are also producer, director, writer, editor, cameraman, narrator, artist, craftsman, and renovator! Wonderful work.
No man can possibly forget that girl he was in love with, who painted his kitchen...
And the conversation with the gentleman selling antique objects... priceless !
Thank you for showing us the world through your eyes Kylie❤️
Glad I just stumbled upon your channel. I’m in the process of moving and have been watching some decorating channels and yours just popped up in my recommendations.
I’m moving from a 4 year old cookie cutter home in a typical American suburban neighborhood to a home almost 70 years old in the historical section of town. The home I’m moving from has a man made pond in the backyard which they used soil they dug for the foundation of the houses here. This caused phosphorus levels to become too high, killing off beneficial bacteria so you can’t grow gardens here or fungus and viruses will overrun them.
The place I’m moving to has mature trees in an established landscape next to a real river. I’m going to plant a little garden and decorate the old house. Your remodeling ventures are by far the best I’ve seen. My house is spanish inspired with front arches and a built in trellis I will grow a bougainvillea on, which makes your style and remodeling endeavors a perfect inspiration for how I’m remodeling.
What I’ve just learned from you is take my time and don’t rush in and... research research research!
Thank you for recording your journey for us. You’re very inspiring and so intelligent beyond your years. 💕
You have the innocent passion of a child coupled with the focused intention of an adult. I really like your style. The kitchen stencil on the tiles is amazing.
Magic. You are so good at portraying and explaining all this beauty
I wanted this video to go on forever ! I love how you see things, how you align your life and surround yourself with beauty and happiness.
People never seem to understand why I always thrift homegoods, clothes, fridge, radio, armchairs, books, mirrors, even suitcases; they are constantly telling me that new objects "are better". But as you say, antiques or thrifted objects have a story, have a soul, and they also encourage upcycling and reusing vs consuming and producing. And that is where I want my money to go, encouraging small businesses and thriftshops.
So thank you for making me feel that this uniqueness is shared and appreciated by you and also your lovely community!
Lots of love!!
Gosh, all the Italian subtitles help sooo much-lots of everyday talk-thank you Kylie! I know it’s more work, but it’s appreciated!😘🙏🏼❤️
Kylie, your kitchen reno is just lovely and made my day. I love how you paid so much attention to detail.
it's wonderful that you could access genuine Tuscan products. Some tips for future stencilling projects that may assist is to:
1. Buy more than one of the same stencil depending on the size of the job.
2. Use an adhesive stencil spray to prevent bleed through or smudging. The appropriate stencil spray will allow you to remove the stencil and place it in a different spot several times before you must respray. You don't need tape to hold it in place either and it creates nice sharp crisp outlines. make sure to spray the stencil with the adhesive on a piece of cardboard away from the surface being stencilled. I would advise researching relevant stencil spray adhesive products available in Italy that are also suited for the surface being stencilled.
3. Instead of a finger which worked wonderfully but is more time consuming, you could choose to use a craft/artist stencil brush (these are brushes designed specifically for stencilling, they look a bit like kabuki makeup brushes) or small sponge, which you load evenly with paint, then pounce a few times onto paper to remove excess before you apply to the stencil - by pouncing lightly. You will still have control of shading as you did with your fingers and also use another stencil brush/sponge to apply the second shade.
4. Another way to contrast the two shades as you did manually is to stencil in one shade, allow to dry, remove the stencil and reposition it so it is still over the design you just painted but slightly out of sync with it. With such a delicate design, your stencil would only be a few millimetres shifted above or below the painted design, then strategically apply the the second shade. This is a quicker method which still allows control over shading. Of course, experiment and practice first before attempting your masterpiece.
That reclaimed building materials Yard is stupendous ..... heaven on earth for self-builders .... the owner has an amazing soul ...
Loved hearing Eckert Tolle in the background. Such an undertaking.
Wow I would love to do this. In my early 20s I brought a miner cottage and was happy single girl who wanted to do it up on her own. I met my builder hubby now married who helped me so much that it ended up being ours. And I really lost that chance to challenge myself without help. Now in my 30s with three young kids I have a secret plan to start a project like this in a few years when the kids dont need me as they require being so young.
Thanks for inspiring that spark. Beauitful x
I seriously love her. She is the type of person who will fill you up.
Aléynna Lush 😘😘😘😘😘
Kylie, Italia should make you "Honorary Ambassador" to the world. I love the listening to books, podcasts and music while working. BR
Hello, I'm an American. My husband loves Italy. I wanted to understand his love so I started studying the language and the culture. Your videos are so lovely and inspiring.
I literally shed a tear watching this. My family is from Italy and many of them still live there. The way Italians talk about objects and history is like no one else. Italy has a lot of issues but every time I go back, I fall deeper in love. How can you not???
Bella! Mi fai piangere. Soon 1/2 Italiana, and a US citizen. You are the real deal. La tua cinematografia e attenzione a detagli é stupenda! Brava!
Wonderful Kylie, so enjoyable. Just discovered your channel & I adore it. I am an Italian immigrant from Abruzzo, from a small village called Capestrano. I am now 62 years old and interestingly my love for Italy has only grown, even though I came to Melbourne in 1962 with my mother to meet my father here, and not remembering Italy at all ( of course having been back many times, since) my connection is very great. I am looking forward to this Covid nightmare to end so that we can all visit again. I think what your interview showed to is that Italians sometimes haven’t always appreciated what they have, I suppose that happens when you are surrounded with such beauty & history. I could go on for ages but suffice to say keep it up your doing a beautiful job, best of luck and keep safe. Auguri e buona fortuna, ciao Nella Watson
I don’t skip the ads Kylie. Your work is so beautiful and evocative. Thank you
This video is amazing. I loved your inspo about the kitchen, the work on the tiles... the fact that you put italian subtitles shows me how you care about italian viewers that may not speak english and i think that's really nice. Also, you are so pretty!!
Oh what a joy to have such beautiful items in secondhand outlets. I do agree with you views about hand made and natural elements in one’s life.
To appreciate the beauty of someone's hand in the making of something, or the soul of an object, that's the magic. Old olive wood spoons, a cast iron skillet generations old, I'd much rather have family pieces than new. Thank you Kylie for another wonderfully "poetic" message and visual treat. Your videos are something I look forward to each week. Congratulations on purchasing your home and lovely not so new kitchen!😊
I love this video with all my heart. You have such a beautiful soul, please never stop being amazing!!
Your speaking with the stone and antique shop owner provided a real insight in the differences of consciousness around man-made objects old vs. new. It brought a tear to my eye as I agree with the both of you of how objects can provide us with peace and comfort and undeniably have a soul. Thanks Kylie, I'm looking forward to next week's edition! I totally know that your cucina will have a beauty and soul as beautiful as yours.
You are so full of passion, love and life. Never change always appreciate the small things, it keeps you grateful and young.💐
You are brilliant......... The way you beautify structures which preserves culture ........... ...
Dear Kylie,
This world is blessed to have a human being like you. I can see the beauty of this entire dimension we live in through your videos. You inspire me everyday to wake up and work for the life I dream of. I thank you for sharing this blissfull art with us. I wish you all the happiness and love :)
The more and more I watch your channel the more excited I become about life and appreciating every aspect of it🥺
Every body that enjoys this gorgeous video should LIKE it and also it is great for Kylie if you WATCH THE ADS ,whilst reading comments say! :)
What a lovely soul you are, thank you for sharing so much passion and joy Kylie! and thank you for loving my country so much, it is truly heartwarming and moving...Grazie bellissima anima per come trasmetti e condividi gioia e passione, mi fai ri-innamorare ancor di più del mio paese, e mi emoziona vedere l’Italia attraverso i tuoi occhi... tanta felicità!! 🌷
Kylie grazie per questo video, mi hai fatto scoprire un posto unico. Io sono ONORATA delle tue parole per il mio paese, grazie!
Wow, I can't begin to explain how much this has inspired me. To find beauty in nature, in hard work, in culture. To find true happiness remembering what truly matters. No need to have a new, shiny kitchen with all the gadgets. Beauty and happiness are in the simplicity of pure life. Thank you so much Kylie for this video 💗
This was the most decadent and poetic video. Thank you ! Can't wait for the grand finale! Love, from Canada xx
Kylie, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing that incredible reclamation centre, so, so beautiful! The kitchen IS the heart of the home and you are creating a beautiful one.
Hola io no parlo inglés sólo un po di italiano! Sono nata a Guadalajara jalisco Mexico! Ho cercato il tuo canale perché amo italia y particolare la Toscana! Per buona fortuna mia UA-cam mi da un video tuo !! Penso moltissimo importante. Per tuo canale mettere sotitulolo in italiano così molti persona guardarano tuo canale! Pleace più italiano parla o sotitulolo!!!
Mille gracias por tus videos bellisimos son espectaculares ha una sensibilità incredibilmente!!! Bravissima Kyle!
I’m excited for your kitchen reveal. I just adore the conversation with the antiques dealer. Although in the USA, this is how I live! The richness that comes with history, natural materials and handmade products can’t be matched.
Ciao Kylie ,
Hope all is well ❤️ 🍰
Really enjoyed this video . You should give yourself a pat on the back for what you have achieved ....an Aussie speaking Italian beautifully, the sacrifices you have made and best of all living the life , your dream .
Your cooking segments , travel , renovations , living a sustainable life , language tutorials , making your own clothes , giving your viewers a dance once in a while !!!! 🤗🤗🤗....you have it all !!!! ....Sei Speciale !!!!! ....you go girl !!!! ❤️🙏....love always
Jimmy .🤗🌈
OMG I'm an Interior Design major and I haven't been this inspired in ages! Thank you!
The kitchen now shouts welcome and warmth. Auguri on a job well done!
Hi Kylie, all that you do and say about Italy is why this immigrant daughter decided to move back to Italy 35 years ago when many of my friends and family in Canada thought I was crazy. I love ❤️ how you get excited about living here, I am the same and often times Italians just don't get it, they can't believe how I left Canada (known for it beautiful sceneries, and great standard of living) for the Italian way of life, 's ok though, I'm so happy here, more than I ever was there, living in Italy has given me so much. I always say Italy is like a diamond, everywhere you look at it it shines, wether with its perfections or its flaws. Can't wait for part 2 xx 😘 Olympia
Ooooh -- thank you! Can't wait for part two. You put so eloquently how so many of us feel about the spirit or souls of objects. Do we have long to wait? No pressure, obviously! xxx
mbeplate Editing as fast as I can! Hopefully in a couple of days! 👩🏼💻
@@KylieFlavell No pressure obviously-- just excited and looking for inspo!
Such a JOY to watch. I loved the conversation at the antique market, so much of what was said resonated with me as well. The history in an object cannot be replaced with a “vintage styled” piece, the history is embedded in the object. ... I also admire the slowness you have to make art (whether filming, baking, tiles, etc.) that really has made me change the way I approach each aspect of my day, that even the minor details deserve to be done with excellence- because each of those mundane moments are moments of MY life! Thank you for the constant inspiration! Looking forward to the reveal! 🌸🌸
These videos are such a good stress reliever! And there is the added bonus of beautiful Kylie.
I have been binge watching your videos since Ive discovered your channel I love your style your sweet calm voice and just your beautiful soul thank you !!
I agree! Listening to you is sooo sooo pleasant! A breath of fresh air, hope, simplicity, love, joy and LIFE! God bless you. You inspire me.
I can't wait to see more!
I loved visiting Italy at Lake de Garda.
It soaks into your soul.
Bellissima!! What a fantastic interview - so interesting to meet someone with such a poetic understanding of materiality - if only more design clients had the same understanding 😅 can't wait for Part 2! Grazie! 🌻
Its a learning experience for me.... This slow living
As the tears start once again to roll down my cheeks and the lump in my throat starts to swell, I think to myself "she's done it again"! Beautifully captured on film, it's not just a kitchen makeover its life right there. I can't wait for part 2. Enjoy your first cook in your kitchen Kylie. Keep well kind Regards Karen x
MsKaza64 Ohhh Karen, thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
You are an inspiration to all the young clever generation , as you can absorb a culture and take the best of it , as you are manly doing everything by yourself in the most italian fashion way ! You got it, you show to young italian and european what to do, as they don't appreciate their hovn culture as they are contaminated by the white noise the suffocate them! I can see your english getting faster, as you are be now in a different speaking tempo, it's just fine you are absorbing your environment, nothing to be concerned of. Love your eye contact so typical of italian , intense clever and with such desire to express before you say anything as italian do . Thanks to stimulate young peoples to be what they love to do and give young italian a real model to follow ! you are reinvigorating a culture lost in is apati !
Min 4.05 Eckhart Tolle's voice 😍 so happy you like him too!!
JustAnam Valentina he’s so wise!!
Your videos inspire me on so many different levels. To travel back to Italy as soon as possible, to look for the beauty in things that surround me, to appreciate a more simple life. With everything going on in the US, I am even more determined to find my place of simple joy be it here or abroad. Life is too short (especially at my age 👵🏼) to not surround yourself with people and things that bring you joy. Thank you again for being such an inspiration ❤️
You are very talented. You look like a real Italian when you speak with the locals.
Please never ever stop creating content! Your work fills my soul like no other. I wish we lived closer and could strike up a friendship! Thanks for sharing your kitchen makeover journey Kylie! It looks terrific so far!
You're new place is beautiful! The view from your kitchen window is amazing!
Been watching your videos (historical and new) for a few months now, Kylie, without comment and I thoroughly enjoyed the deep soul behind this one. Loved the conversation about culture and the visibility/feel of passion that simply oozed from it. All the best in your new home.
David Birse Thank you so much for watching (and commenting!) David!
The way you apply yourself in every aspect of this renovation is remarkable. Watching you work with your whole heart in this project was beautiful. You must feel an immense sense of accomplishment. Well done once again, Kylie. I can't wait for part 2.
I love all your videos but this has touched the soul of why I love Italy and its history. How deep was the comment from passionate Danielle regarding when you touch some of the material and think that the discovery of American hadn't even happened. By the way your kitchen is makeover is looking so homely already. I love the personal paint touches. Can't wait to see the finished product.
omg you have the patience of a saint to do those stencils 💗💗💗
Kitchen is looking wonderful! The place that sells antiques was out of this world. I’m so happy that Italians are starting to again appreciate their historical glories. I guess it was a case of familiarity breeding contempt. But not now. Nothing beats natural from the earth materials touch hundreds of years ago by ??
Love the marble sink !!! Sooo cozy look for your kitchen.
We all love you and what you do.! You are inspiration and joy for all of us your viewers.....Cant wait to see the end result.❤ big hug Kylie
Isa Ma So sweet!!! 😘😘
Kylie, I love your work and your passion about Italy. A passion I share. I bought a home in Abruzzo and I feel so at peace when I’m there. Because of COVID, I haven’t been able to get back there for almost a year. You inspire this old man in many ways. I would love to meet you when I’m back “at home” in Italy. Keep doing the videos so at least I’ll feel like I’m there! Ciao.
Absolutely beautiful tiles in the beautiful tuscan countryside.
Your excitement is contagious. Cant wait to see more .
Ohhhh😍 Beautiful work Kylie! I got ancient radios too my father used to collect them. Adore you give new Life to Ancient furniture ! Everyone should do that even with a little piece.....🤩Love and Blessings from Italy! ❣
Wait what? There’s several parts? I can’t possible wait. I can’t handle this cliffhanger! You know how to get us excited Kylie!
Love love love. Kylie, I can hear and feel your soul wholly and completely with this video. Your excitement is infectious and I know that you will turn this beautiful farmhouse into a work of art, as you do with your beautiful films and poetry. I am aching for Italy now, even more than before. The wheels have been set in motion for me to move there in the next 18 months. Italy has always felt like "home" when I'm there, and, in no small part thanks to you and your incredible story telling and sharing, I've become even more convinced of that. You add such an air of romance and nostalgia to everything you do. From your cinematography to your own fashion sense, your cooking, your music and on and on ... its glorious. You deserve to have your work seen around the world. I love all the thought and detail that goes into everything you do. White and blue tiles are so elegant. You should connect with the Italian Tourism Board and show them how you can sell Italy because you do that with every video. Well done Kylie. Cannot wait to see the finished kitchen. Its going to be beautiful. How is your sister by the way? Is she with you or in Florence? Sending love to you both.
Miriam Wexler So compassionate and kind as always. Unfortunately my sister went through a hard time with some personal issues and had to leave Italy but she’s trying to carve out a new path on the island of Mallorca. Thank you for believing in me so for many years now, Miriam!
Me as a German I do also speak fluently italian because I lived there for one year tanti anni fa. Therefore I can say that you speak italian very very good and you have hardly any accent. Bravissima!
Oh my, Kylie! Home renovations, and kitchens, and antique, salvaged materials with a history are like, a semi-exhaustive list of my passions in life, so this video was such a treat! The little tour at the stone yard was so amazing, too! Those ancient mattonelle are so beautiful! Such a dream. And you could tell the pure passion in Daniele's words, especially when talking about his nonno. Grandparents are a universal treasure, I think, but here in Italy we tend to have such a strong relationship with our nonni, they really make us who we are, oftentimes raise us and teach us so much. I really resonated with that.
Thank you so much for another great video, I'm so looking forward to part 2!
I just love your posts and story . Love your progress and your love of all things old .
Kylie I have watched many of your programmes and this to me is the best one. It has a story and the section in the reclamation place has so much emotion a vital ingredient of any film. Please make more like this.
I could have watched all day ... how wonderful.. your Mr is very fortunate to have you, an incredible woman with such style grace and handiwork :-) look forward to seeing the rest
We love making everything ourselves too! We have remodeled our home ourselves and made our furniture. I can never find what I want or it’s way beyond our budget, so we make it and it’s even better! I paint and sew and have a head filled with ideas. That is why I love your channel, you are so creative and think outside the box. Can’t wait to see what you have accomplished!💙
I love Tuscany. It reminds me of Serbia. 💕🥰🤩
Kylie,You never cease to amaze me..you make me fall in love with the Italian language already love the food and the culture...you make me even start studying the language..Keep the good work...cheers
I was ENTHRALLED!!! What a great conversation you captured....lovely. Well done, great work Kylie!!!
I am so happy that the life you have chosen has the outcome of happiness. Abundance of blessings and may God continue to bless you always. Take care and stay safe. GODSPEED.
This just might be my favourite video of all time. This is PURE inspiration - I never would have thought a kitchen makeover could bring me to tears but it is the core values that connect us all, the values of passion, beauty, truth, love and dedication - I loved this video so much. The time and effort you put into your life makes me want to live a better life - la dolce vita!
Molly Ziraldo Oh thanks so much, Molly. You’re so beautiful to write all this!
Love the excitement, joy, and energy! I get excited too when I am around rustic and old antiques. The gentleman is right about each and every piece having it's own soul. Some things you just can't replicate. Society today is all about mass consumption and quick turnover. Unfortunately quality and durability is sacrificed and it makes me sad. I would love to place my hand on all those bricks! Imagine all the stories they would tell if they could talk. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen!!
Love it! Sometimes it's better not to have much money so that one must find a creative solution. My mother was an artist with little money. We used to say there was no interior decorating job she couldn't do with a can of paint!
What you did with the tiles were so amazing, and the whole video is so soothing in a way. Can't believe how anyone could dislike this video!
KYLIE I love seeing your videos
Let us see the finish of your kitchen.
I feel I am in Italy watching u
I live in Toronto Ontario Canada
I am 76years old lady.
My dad mom was Italian
From Tuscany in Barga Luca she was born and left at 18years old
Because her dad wanted to start a new life
He when to England first
With my grandma LOUISA DAPRATO
Then a final move to Montreal QUEBEC Canada.
So my grandma end up marrying a French man
Had my dad and few other children
And my dad married a French lady to
But we love Italian food
This often in our table
I carry it from my grandma LOUISA DAPRATO.
A Tuscany girl
And would you believe I married a Jewish guy
Very happy to
Kylie
Don't forget show us when it's all done
When u will get your sink.stove and your new fridge
I can't wait to see it
Love from DIANE
Have fun in Italy 🍝🍕🍷🇮🇹
Finish the tiles. Looks beautiful
Congratulations on having a kitchen that's as good as new!
I need to say that I love the way you film your videos, the music, the vibes.. everything! You make me want to reach my goal and dream even more! I am planning on moving to Italy next year and I can not wait. You are such an inspiration🥰
This makes me incredibly happy as I sit here editing tomorrow’s episode! Thank you!
Che bella intervista con il venditore delle cose antiche. Che anima! Grazie di nuovo, Kylie.
Kylie you are a ray of sunshine in our lives...stay healthy and safe...love from Australia...🌺🍋❤️❤️🍋🌺
Bravo on your passion for your kitchen transformation. I did a similar kitchen redo many years ago, painting tired tiles and then stenciling (in blue!). Now that you have completed your beautiful stenciling, for your next project, there are stencil brushes that are thick, short, and round and are meant for pouncing on the stencil creating the exact antique and aged effect you achieved (but with less time). I think you could google the brushes for your next project. Beautiful kitchen. Bravo!
That reclamation yard was incredible. What an organized mind the proprietor has. There was so much order. I love those places. Thank you for this delightful chapter of your kitchen reno. Looking forward to the next chapter. Ciao!
Again, your joy and passion are a,ways so inspiring, entertaining and nurturing to my soul. Thank you for sharing your love with us. ❤️
I loved the passion from the man at the reclamation yard. So touching when he spoke of his grandfather, I felt his emotion. You found the right place to get your sink, I can’t wait to see your culinary! I love that even in the face of uncertainty, you give it your all...you just gotta live! You are a delightful reminder for humanity right now. Just live, love and be good to each other. Ciao! 💕
Do you work Kylie aside from the amazing videos you share with us all? You really reveal the simplicity, history and beauty of Italy!
