A home in town, fruitful land around and stunning views of the sea. You all appear to be thriving and Luce is such a happy, well adjusted and precious toddler. Her development will be amazing this year. It's obvious that everyone loves her. Take care and May God bless you always.

      What a transformation you have done already! Nice to see an American saying nice things about the Italian people. I have been watching since C-19, you two have gotten my husband & I through that. Two years ago we made plans to go to Italy, for our 58th anniversary, but got the virus. In a few days we will be celebrating our 60th, but doubt if we will ever see your beautiful country. I think a green sofa would be gorgeous with yellow and red accent pillows. 👍🏻💕🇺🇸

    • @cheriedoughan5583

      I love your tile rugs, they’re beautiful Sara, I believe a light charcoal gray would be handsome with red and yellow pillows to accent all; if you chose green, you’d get tired of it, green and red pillows you could use at Christmas time to change it up for a while, spring time, bring out the yellow pillows again, the gray would wear better also and would enhance other throws in any color too. It’s my choice, have fun finding your favorite. Now a red rug would be beautiful in your living area. I believe a green rug with green accents on your bedding would pull the two rooms together when the doors are open from the living room to the bedroom and the red rug in the living room would pull the living room and kitchen together, enchanting and it would flow with color ❤🎉. Congratulations on what you have done. For the bathroom I’d use a dark gray for the bath towels, they will really stand out on the beautiful tiled walls ❤. The kitchen, use Red Poppy flowers or Red, yellow and orange Zinnias flowers on your kitchen towels ❤. Spicy Italian girl 😂!

I can't believe how fate guided you to a town where the patron saint is Saint Luca and Saint Rocco is the patron saint of miracles. Luca's recovery and good health is truly a miracle and Saint Luca will be Luca and the entire family's patron saint.

    I love the muted plums and greys of the floor - reminds me of the lovely old colours that look like Christmas. Old dark wood looks good with that colour scheme. Maybe a table? A lovely discovery and fun for you all and the beauty of old houses. The CBS man would be amazed if he had seen your house that the euro homes are fantastic.

    I’d go with red myself. It would really pop in that room. Those are amazing floors. If those kitchen tiles are in good shape just a good cleaning and some sealant might do it. This house is a small treasure in disguise. Congratulations!

    The terrazzo floors are beautiful, probably installed in the late 1940's or 1950's. And the floor in the kitchen with its checkerboard coloring perfectly complements the wall tile. With the dark red in both floors a red sofa would be lovely. However, with strong sunlight it will fade really quickly so a warm golden yellow sofa might be a better choice, and then use dark red accents in pillows and other furniture.
    As much as we enjoy watching your progress and adventures, we can't get enough of Luce!! She is absolutely the most adorable little girl!!

    Loving everything about you finding & restoring this charming, ancient place. I do wish Luca had worn a dust mask when ripping out that old flooring. Mildew, etc (?) can exist in between layers of old flooring like that. You don’t need ancient mildew getting into your sinuses & lungs.
    The old flooring you washed is extraordinary!
    The pattern is so unusual! How old it it? Is it a pattern made of stone tile pieces? Can you find a historian to tell you the age of this flooring?
    I’d wash the toilet & bidet before ripping it out. It has an elegant style quality, like maybe from the 20s or 30s, but could be older.
    I’m so happy for you in all you’ve accomplished since I began watching you a couple years ago.
    I was glad you said the old kitchen flooring is beautiful Sara, & that you both appreciate the place the way it is & are finding ways to make upgrades as needed.

I think a red couch would be an amazing accent with that tile.... but then again I'm rather fond of Green too. I know whatever you choose will be beautiful. 🥰

  • @a2shillam
    @a2shillam Рік тому +6

    Now that you see the kitchen floor, I suggest a sofa in the golden yellow. Red would be too strong. You can easily draw the other colors in to accent.
    Wow! The kitchen is the best surprise. Old becomes new again.
    For the bathroom, is it possible to have the new tank in the old position, up on the wall? It is a classy look. 👌 Have a great week, family. 🎉❤😊

We bought a 1200 year old tower in a town called Minturno in Italy on the Mediterranean. 2 hours north of Naples. Same types of tiled floors and some of electricity on outside of walls. We’re from America. It’s all worth it. You are doing a loving and respectful Reno. Your daughter is precious.

If you are restoring second hand furniture a emerald green lounge suit would look amazing. You could decorate the couch with vintage plants for the colour. You have made my creative juices flowing. I could do a mood board for you so you could see what I mean. Sara ask your builder what you could use on the vintage tiles to remove the glue from the linoleum .
