The bed shirt fabric is divine! Where did you get it? What is it called, who makes it etc?
Not everyone wants new furniture. We all know Julie has to be thrifty. Old manors are often less luxurious than how many middle class folk live. Sort of Shabby sheek, lol. But that is exactly what I love too. I love Julie's wee Italian house, as well as Mapperton. ❤️ 💙 💜
Please consider a potted citrus tree for the terrace. Either lemon and or blood orange trees. The scent of the blooms will be phenomenal and the fruits delicious.
That would be lovely but she's only there for a few days every 6 weeks so I think it might be be a very thirsty tree!
dont have have thrones though?
I love how you pick the perfect colors and accents for casual, comfortable bedrooms!
Thank you! 😊
This is such a warm, cozy guest room. The new light fixture, bedskirts, and wall pegs will certainly add to the ambience. I absolutely love the newly acquired painting ... I could easily get lost in it!
Thanks so much! 😊
OK, I admit I didn't get these decorations until I see them close to finished, and they really look super nice. She had much more of a vision of the completed project. I love the new throw pillows on the last bedroom with the flowers and the antiqued end tables.
Loving this renovation project! Those headboards are stunning but....they need to be raised and mounted to the wall. One, because they are gorgeous, two because the ceiling is so high, but also, and importantly, because the room is not balanced as there is too much going on at lower half of the room, and not enough above. Makes the furniture look tiny. The paint line in the middle of the room along with the framed pieces splits the room in an unbalanced conundrum. But overall, beaut-i-ful as you would say! You do you!!!
I think that beautiful painting would be so relaxing in the four poster bedroom.
Your house is coming together very well. I like the soothing color palette but I’m so glad you decided not to cover the headboards. You must think more about keeping some rustic Italian elements in your furniture choices to blend the old with the new and they were so beautiful when they were cleaned up. Glad to see you getting on the slopes and having fun. A good life balance is so important. You don’t want to burn out.
Loving the renovations, decorating, flea markets, small Italian towns, shops, cafes & restaurants. Brava!
Ahahahaha my dad would've called that a "seniors moment". You ski very gracefully and elegantly. OMG that package looks very cumbersome. Yes, lovely art work. Very inviting and restful rooms; I see the beauty in the half wall colour detail now.
Thank you for taking us through your days in Italy. Delightful!
It's quite interesting that the room looked so small when empty but looks so much larger with the furniture in it. Really looks lovely.
I just love how you have taken your time with everything!!
I love what you have done with the little house in Italy. The rooms are cozy, inviting, and enveloping. But please remember that the best homes are always organic and growing and changing. I hate rooms that look like the entire room has been so studied and "decorated" and designed that if you move a book 4 inches on top of the coffee table the entire room is "off". Your Mapperton Home is beautiful and so is your little home in Italy! Thank you for sharing it with us!
I think the room is appropriately decorated as a soothing, restful, guest room. Well done! Can’t wait to see it fully finished 🥰
Im madly catching up with your videos starting with the little Italian house what a joy !
Love love love the bedrooms dont know which is my fav ! Colours just perfect - the picture from Alice stunning what a talented lady ❤
As a vintage dealer i share your love of vintage and i too have one daughter and three sons - thanks for sharing ❤
I lived in Wisconsin and Iowa for many years. I know that coming from Illinois you know exactly what snow chains are! I am going to start saying it is probably the altitude when I forget things too. I love that! The footage of you all skiing in the mountains, looked fabulous! Wonderful video! Love from Vermont
It is so much fun watching you decorate your home in Italy. I imagine living in a generational home in England can be a bit restricting. It has a much more formal classical design that is cost prohibitive considering all of the expenses of keeping up on the repairs to such a large formally decorated home. Watching the sheer joy you find in expressing yourself in this little home in Italy is just beautiful.
Thank you so much!
I appreciate the design, with all the textures and the frames are giving the room a charm atmosphere.
Keep going to Fivizzano!
I really love how you're transforming your little Italian house. I would like to make some observations and a small critique of your picture hanging choices. First, the pictures and frames are beautiful and so right for the guest room. I also like where you hung the 2 pictures above the beds. But, to the right of the beds on the wall with the door to the hallway, you've hung those 2 pictures way too high. If you look at the room as a whole, those 2 pics on the right don't relate to the pics over the beds because of the positions too high on the wall. They should be at the same height at the ones over the beds to be cohesive as a whole. Also, and this is nitpicking I admit, but the picture over the blue desk, while it seems to be centered on the wall, in my opinion it should be centered over the desk to relate more closely to the desk. I like that you hung this one lower to relate better to the desk, if only it was centered over the desk it would be perfect. And lastly I love your bedside tables but they should be swapped on opposite sides of the beds to make the doors open to the beds instead of opening away from the beds which would make them more easily accessible to someone in/on the beds. Right now the doors open towards the walls and away from the beds, which is not convenient. I'm sure this was just an oversight due to you having to do so much yourself and being so busy. I hope you take this as constructive notes from someone who has the benefit of looking at it with new eyes and from a distance, rather than up so close as you are. You have so many big things on your plate and I am in awe at how much you accomplish, including speaking in Italian! Bravo!
I agree, the two pictures by the door are hung way too high. It should be a cohesive line with the others.
Good observation regarding the night stands. I would be more practical to swap them out.
Beautiful room, but I totally agree about the picture height. Should be at eye level, and all the same height. The other primary bedroom pictures look perfect.
She hung those pictures higher because the pegs for hanging clothes are going to go under them.
I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by the height of those pictures.
The 2 pictures are hung higher b/c of the peg rail that will be installed. Once that is in - you will see it all works. The picture above the desk is centered b/w the edge of the wall and the curtain however, it's temporary. There is a black / gilt mirror arriving soon that will be centered over the desk instead. Still a few more bits to do. xx
Julie, I love the rustic feel of the soft furnishings. Such a calm, serene home! Nicely done!
Thanks so much! 😊
What I find so charming about this whole endeavor is your viewers are helping decorate your house❗️ I love that your viewers told you not to upholster the bed headboards but to leave them as is. And you did that. This is the sweetest UA-cam experience. Thank you.
Julie, your taste is impeccable. You put so much boundless energy into every aspect of the furnishings to make your Italian home cozy, warm and inviting. Thank you so much for taking us on your journey. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Just love this little Italian house! The color scheme is perfect and the bedroom *guest* (looks very comfortable and idea of lavender pillow is absolutely a must have if possible, for all. as it can help you "sleep" So very Perfect! I would need to look it ll over and just take it in, because there is much in this room to ant to really pay attention to and being small, just makes it so quaint, I think it is must nicer!?
Being a smaller house will be so much easier to take care of and it is expensive with heat in Winter etc.
Your guests will feel like a true Italian in this room! Thank you for this tour and shopping at the antique store. I love antiques. The painting your friend did, was very nice for this house, and yes, the colors did blend well..
Outstanding!! Beautiful ! U have done a great job Julie!
The colors of the maps are perfect. Beautiful Italian looking room.
Just love the prints and the way the guest room came together so beautifully.
I love it! It’s such a blend of British and American styling with a good dash of Italian flourish. It’s wonderful also to see how much you’re enjoying yourself with this project. The painting y your friend is Gorgeous! I agree that the kitchen will be a good place for it as everyone will see it right off and that’s likely to be the main gathering place, so everyone will enjoy it. ❤
What a beautiful mix of colours, fabrics, framed prints and old Italian furniture! I think the guest bedroom is simply perfect! I enjoy seeing where you buy your frames and furniture from and it’s especially nice to use small, local businesses! The art work is absolutely stunning and the colours reflect the atmosphere around your Italian house.
Can’t wait for the next instalment! Oh and I’m glad it wasn’t all ‘work’ and no play and you were able to take some time out skiing ⛷️ 😊🍹🙅♀️
Coming here to see Julie in Italy and her decorate this home lifts my spirits. Always a pleasure to see you in this home as a treat in between lovely Mapperton. Gorgeous design as always Julie and crew!
We used snow chains when I was a little girl!! Flashback!!!
Beautiful, restful, welcoming rooms! Would you do a quick pan around the kitchen? Doesn't matter if it's not finished! Have fun on the slopes! 😊
Great idea!!
Your energy knows no bounds. X
I love the bedside tables! So unified with the rest of the style of the room and the theme of your house- the style and inspiration provided by your town and love of authenticity!❣️!😘
Just love how the bedrooms have turned out. Agree with other commentors that it would be good if the picture levels were at the same height but will be interesting to see when the peg rails go up. Love that you left the bed heads as they are and I wonder if you need the bed skirts as the bed linen looks lovely as it is. So enjoying seeing the renovations take place. I can't wait to see what you do with the sitting room.
Very relaxing colors and fabrics.
Your Italian house is fantastic!How inspiring!Love that you share the journey with us!Thank you for allowing us to share Italy with you!
Julie, they call those moments "senior" moments. I have a lot of them but it doesn't worry me for noticed that a lot of other folks do so it can't be early onslaught of Alzeimher!! As much as I enjoy your Mapperton videos and the American Viscountess where you take us to some amazing homes or castles or manors, I have a soft spot for Italy. Enjoy your skiing.
Fabulous maps, appropriate little desk and side piece, while cheese and gelato, what a combo ... lol. Plus that's quite the picture for the wall, and I love the colors of the bed spreadings, while the framed maps really do help make the atmosphere seem worldly. Congrats!😎👍
Many thanks!
Julie, your enthusiasm is contagious. I hope that your Italian villa is home to many happy memories.
That painting by Alice Watt is fabulous! It will look amazing wherever you hang it! Absolutely gorgeous! 😍🥰😍Also, I’m loving the framed maps. If I were putting them up in your guest room, which I’m clearly not, I would hang them all at the same height (a few inches above the paint line) as the one above the blue desk! A little lower positioning will make the room feel cozier, the maps easier to study and make the ceilings feel higher... a win/win/win in my eyes. However, as in all things, to each their own.
We have to install the peg rails and that's why 2 of the prints are higher - I'll show you in the next Italy video. :-)
@@AmericanViscountess Actually I was referring to the maps hung above the beds could come down to match the distance of the map above the blue desk. Another idea would be to group the maps on the bed wall instead of hanging the maps super high on the peg rail walls. If things are hanging on the pegs, that will be a lot of visual impact. There are so many possibilities, no right or wrong, and as long as you are pleased with the results, that’s all that matters!
Looks gorgeous Julie and such a beautiful inviting guest bedroom!🤗 (just an observation, you may want to switch the bedside tables around because of the way the little cupboard doors open 😚ie easier to sit on the bed and open the little cupboard door away from the bed)xx
I was going to write the same comment. Yes, the nightstands need to be switched.
Oh thank you!
WONDERFULL. LOVE the bed skirts. LOVE the maps.
Your guest room is so cozy! Love all your antique prints, what a wonderful find! 👍❤️ Your painting from your friend Alice is just beautiful!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love, love, love your "Little Italian House" videos! Looking forward to many more! 🇮🇹
I just love how it is all coming together, you have such a flair for interior decor x
Wow Just Wow Julie congratulations on the guest bedroom! It looks stunning everything from beds, linen, beautifully framed prints and the desk! Italy is wonderful for finding great treasures in flea markets and you have the eye for picking out the best and turning rooms into elegant spaces x
Thank you so much!
The guest bedroom looks beautiful and traditional. Love this channel!
Thank you so much!
Wow, those jugs at the flea market where you got the tables and the chairs would be lovely in your place there. Maybe on the terrace.
I totally love your ability simply but elegantly style the rooms in your little house. Just simply lovely.
Looks beautiful but please consider raising the headboards!
The guest bedroom looks gorgeous already, especially at night! 🌜🌠
I love all the textures and warmth of the room. It's lovely well done !
Love love it Julie👏🏻Just wonderfully done . Guest will enjoy sleeping there. I can’t wait to see more. 💕
Julie your outfits are so pretty.
Beautiful room blue is my color so I love what you do with the room
Julie I love that you have this project that is just yours. I imagine when you married Luke and took on his family etstates it would have been more difficult to do any nesting. Changing rooms around and all. I might be wrong but this is sweet that you have "your" little house to nest in and be creative with.
Agreed! In a historic estate like Mapperton, it’s all about repairs and upkeep. Maintenance rules.
What a lovely video! The guest room is simple, neat and inviting. I'm so glad that you had a chance to go for a ski...whoosh,whoosh! Can't wait to see the sitting room and terrace transformations. I espied a wooden and wrought iron bench at the flea market..that might make an additional no fuss seating area on the terrace..add some plants et voila! Love the main bedroom, and Alice Watt's art...ethereal. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
@@AmericanViscountess you are most welcome!
Wow, that's great. Skiing and decorating!
I love watching your Italian home reno video's. The guest room is lovely. You have really thought it through. Very stylish and quaint.
Absolutely gorgeous remodel of the bedrooms and bath. Those maps are incredible. I can't wait for the sitting room and terrace.
I can't ski myself but how lovely that you have that so close
Hi Julie, I am from the West Country in the U.K. and have just bought a mill house in Comano near fivizzano. We go to the festas there most summers. Where is the flea market you visit here please? Is it in Aulla or Sarzana? Would love to know- thank you! Love your Italian videos- you really capture the charm of the region x
The bedrooms are beautiful! Looks like a peaceful haven.
I signed up for Babel to also learn Italian, preparing for a visit later this year or next spring.
Beautiful guest room - only, the headboards need to be raised up, to about 2 inches below the paint line. They are so pretty, and I'd want to see more of them.
Oh good Julie. Love that your leaving the head boards as is. Beautiful
Julie, the guest bedroom looks so cozy and welcoming. The house is coming together, I can't wait now for the kitchen. Well done. Love from N.Y.
Thanks so much! 😊
the guest bedroom is utterly lovely!
Malcolm is a GEM! 🇨🇦
Those framed maps turned out beautiful!! Hello from Alabama!
Quest room looking very inviting and lovely
Wonderful ski trip!!! Great job on bedrooms. Would love to see some soft shear bed hangings on the master bedroom bed .
Everything looks lovely. I wondered about the height each map was hung (I would have done it at exactly same height from floor eg mid eye level. But, colours and coordination overcomes that. It is really inspiring to see what you have done so far. Congratulations. Just lovely.
Hi Annabel, thank you! We have some pictures higher due the peg rail that will be installed very soon. Will film more soon so you can see.
Looks lovely! I hope someone helped finish out the bedroom. 😊 The parts of the house that you’ve shown us looks so homey and comfortable!
You have such a wonderful eye for style and colour. Your Italian home is beautiful 😊
Thank you so much!
big steps. great work in progress. you do inspire me. cheers,
I really like what you have done with your little Italian house..It’s exactly I would want, not too big absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Love it.
Thank you so much!
The guest room looks wonderful! You are a great and talented decorator. Looks very cozy and historic!
Thank you so much!
I think you did a most excellent job on this room!
hi Julie, thanx for sharing your beautiful guest room👌 buttt... the room needs a nice mirror to the wall up behind the chair💗👍🏻
I don't think they even use snow chains in the states anymore because of the all weather tires. But everyone used them when I was a kid, I'm 60 now. The chains were bigger back then.
Here in Colorado, chains are used in the mountains. Especially trucks because no matter the tires, trucks spin out in ice.
@@cynthiat6505 I thought if they were still used it would be there.🙂
If I was staying there, I would use the. Desk as a vanity and would appreciate a stand mirror on it.
Beautiful room.
Mirror is coming :-)
I just found your channel and became an instant fan of your style, love for Italian culture and language. I am planning to purchase a home wherever my heart cannot resist in Italy or France. I currently live in Mexico and speak the language fluently. You have no idea how much you are inspiring me to move, decorate, and live the life in Italy!
LOVE, LOVE THAT PAINTING. Congrats.
Looks awesome! Mirror?? Love it! 🇨🇦🇨🇦👏👏💐🇨🇦
Wow you did a great job Julie , it looks fresh , cosy and lovely 😊
Everything is so charming. I love your house! You have done a great job furnishing and restoring it. X
Thanks so much! 😊
Absolutely love your colour choices, antiques and decor! Love it!!
It's really nice, unpretentious, comfortable, cosy and nice, like you, Julie. Really nice and pretty👍👍
I loved watching this video and seeing all the thought and love going into turning your Tuscan house into a cosy traditional home.
So beautiful Julie! I love the guest bedroom! Yes, the pegs will be nice to hang jackets and clothes on and the table will give some storage, too! A very cozy room!
What a lovely, relaxing room for your guests! The framed maps fit perfectly. Your artist friend, Alice did an amazing job with your painting. ❤😊
Pendleton Camp blanket would look good too.
It’s fabulous Julie! You have managed to marry contemporary with traditional so well. Congratulations!
Those profiles of your children is such a nice idea
Julie, I am so glad you did not cover up those beautiful headboards. The room is beautiful.
Beautiful painting 💫
Hi Julie, A friend asked me to try out new lunch place and they decided to call it Earl's Deli which of course is a sandwich shop. Especially named for your ancestor!
I like the darker hair!
