- Ciao! This week I continue the bathroom renovation from the farmhouse in Tuscany, Italy. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

I was shocked to watch Guido just looking at you when the branch broke and not checking on you. Yes you told him to warn you but that was after the fact and he should have
automatically gone to you to make sure you were alright. None-the-less, the vlog was well done!
Totally agree!!!
yeah, that caught me off guard
Girl it's like I'm watching a beautiful perfect movie every week! I can't thank you enough for sharing all the beauty of the world and giving us all hope, dream and inspiration. You have no idea what a difference you make in my life. I am not good with words but I hope you can feel my heart.
DITTO here tooo!!!!
Thank you with all my heart, Lisa!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ This really means so much to me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

That's southern for bumm.
Happy mardi gras..let the
Good times roll.stay healthy..stay warm..

Later y'all..❤❤❤
I am in awe. When you mentioned that you wanted a path down the side of the hill, it didnt occur to me that work wouldnt be done by some workmen. And then............you started making a staircase down the side of the hill. You and your dad could renovate that whole farm by yourselves and the pig pens too. I cant wait for the next episode. Im a little sad your parents are leaving.
You are a very strong woman and it is very inspirational to watch your weekly videos, to be strong is to be independent. However, I spent a lot of energy being a lot like you. By the time one is middle aged, we take an accounting of life as we look foreword and see less time than when we look backward. What we see can only be judged by ourselves, the one who witnesses our life, we invite; our middle ages are less about pandering. I suspect in the future you might want a hand at some moment to be all that you are, therefore, when we fall-our beloved needs to run to us, because time steals the ability to constantly carry someone. Your renovations are beautiful, congratulations. Your filming is extraordinary and we must all remember that there is no team behind you editing, Brava!
Truly a feast for the eyes and the soul.
I'm glad you took my suggestion about only painting the perimeter of the tiles. I know that it will have a subtle beauty. So, sorry you fell on the ground when Guido jumped on that tree branch. That was totally unexpected to watch. Glad you are still young enough to bounce back from a fall like that and didn't get any bruises. Poor baby. Love watching your life at the Villa. Much love, Charleen from Arizona.
Hello Kylie, I've recently discovered your channel and am loving it, you have the most divine taste and I adore your tiles with the roses. I was so concerned about you when you fell and was worried that Guido didn't come instantly to your aid and kiss you better. I do hope you are recovered and without any scratches or bruises. xoxo
I always say you are an amazing woman. You create beauty & your movies are so serene, peaceful & filled with life's lessons. I sure will miss your parents as well. They were great help & I now know where you get your talent & craftsmanship & determination to the finish line. I send you & Guido much love & light. Stay safe.❤🥰🌹🌺💐
Tuscany reminds me of the Texas Hill Country. One word describes both places: beautiful.
When you were on the motorcycle it look like you were driving through a painting. What a dream.
I JUST LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND CREATIVITY........AND THE COUNTRYSIDE IS SO BEAUTIFUL IT MAKES MY HEART SING......YOU ARE LIVING THE LIFE I HAD DREAMED OF WHEN I WAS YOUNGER......IF THERE IS REINCARNATION I WANT TO COME BACK AS A VERSION OF YOU.....HA HA
Serene and beautiful
We will all miss your parents! They are amazing workers and creators we now know where you got it from! Love the stencil I have never been a fan of florals but this looks more botanical which is what I love too!
Beautiful film, full of inspiration and you make SUCH a fantastic team. There's an old English saying 'Wood Warms You Twice' - once when you cut and chop it and again when you burn it. Your Mum is amazing - stacking all that wood up and your dad is so clever. Can't wait for the big bathroom reveal and so so pleased you went the Rose Route xx
It made me sad that he wasn't more concerned about you falling when he jumped on the wood
Hi Kylie. My Dad began snaking trees out of the woods in North Carolina with the help of a mule, when he was 8 years old back in the 40’s. He was paid 5 cents a day. When we were young, he taught us how to split wood safely and effectively. We had a blast too! When you hold your axe, keep your dominant hand firmly towards the end of the handle. Your non-dominant hand should be towards the axe head. When you begin your swing your non-dominant hand should slide down the axe handle towards your dominant hand. It helps with leverage and makes it much easier to chop.
It has been so lovely having your parents in the videos! Godspeed and hope to have them back :)
The stencils are beautiful!! I love the randomness
Kylie... you are just a great soul, thinker and thank you for showing life through your eyes. Guido, pls help your wife next time she falls. Just rush to give her a helping hand.
Yes,he needed to be kinder and more concerned.Perhaps it's because you are so capable,Kylie.
Thank you, Kylie, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh! Guido, be careful when working around your Bride!!! You surely can work Kylie! Amazing work inside and out.Your parents are awesome how they have been helping you with all the work on the property! You will surely miss them! Enjoy your weekend! 👍😘
And maybe ask if she's ok.
And maybe help her up...
@@hungrysnook654 thats what i was thinking too
@@wendyk4617 yes totally.
Guido 👎
You are so grounded and such a hard worker! I love your parents! Guido is a very blessed man.
A blessed man with a good heart.
The view is so beautiful, like a painting.
I am impressed from the hard work you both put into the property. I grew up in a village and I know how difficult is getting wood from forest and than cutting with and putting it in dry place. That is the hardest way to get wood - love that you are collecting already dead trees.
the views of the tuscan countryside makes me feel like i am transported into paradise. i can see why you incorporate elements of nature into the home you’re creating. the two spaces should compliment one another. it’s so refreshing to see you and guido breath new life into the farm instead of letting it go to someone else or letting it fall a part. i am used to farmers selling their farms here in america (for many different reasons) which i wish wasn’t happening. but watching your videos is inspiring and refreshing!
Kylie I enjoyed this video very much. But remind Guido the next time you fall on the ground he should help you up.
Watching both of you work together. That shows love and care for each other. So amazing what love can do for you. Good luck!
Thank you for the stroll, bike ride, and for allowing us to venture with you all into the wealth of Italy's beauty!
The bathroom looks very clean, elegant, and very very beautiful. Congratulations, you have accomplished your dream. Bless you all!!! You are a jewel and so are your parents. They are absolutely fantastic.
Your beautiful news of Italy and the life there... Inspires me no end... One day I will fulfill my dreams to learn to cook at winter school in Tuscany and learn that magical romance language that you speak so beautifully.. Grazie mille... Panting for more of your news👏
You are both always so busy with projects! To be expected in such a large,old place. No wonder you look so beautiful,Kylie.All that fresh, Tuscan air and physical labor! Tiles looking charming.Aww,sad ur parents are leaving..They are wonderful! Guido is a sweetheart.Adores you! I just want to receive a big hug from him.Teddy bear.
It’s been a week since I started binge watching all your videos starting with the first one! What an amazing adventure you lived! Such an adventure for me to watch…you are so talented, beautiful and loved!
welcome to the family 😊✨
Glad you have found this channel. It was so wonderful to watch all of these the past 2 years while the world was/is in such turmoil. These videos are a wonderful escape. Welcome to paradise Simona 🥰
Very good painting ideas. I hope you are not hurt. Have a good day.
Sometimes, as a university student, I can get lost in the motions, lost in the monotony of completing assignments. Your videos are a weekly reminder of what I am striving for! They serve as a reminder to look at the life I am living with a romantic lens. I am studying what my childhood self dreamed of (art history)! Sometimes I forget that. Thank you, again, Kylie for your beautiful works of art, they always warm my heart
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you Daisy!
Your place is breath taking!!
🌹Oh my, but the light is simply too glorious! How can you tear your eyes away 👀?
The family that stacks 🪵 wood together in the 🌚 stays together , as the saying goes😄
Such a beautiful episode...I was holding my breath when you removed that first stencil , you have created something lasting and special for years to come. Bless you Kylie, you really are a fabulous and unique individual 💕
I agree about the wood stacking! 🥰 Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
It is hard work to keep up with a farm... but you both make it look real, hard, but rewarding, exausting at times, but the result and the joy are overwhelming, a reward in itself! God bless!
What a beautiful life you are are all working towards ❤️ You are enjoying the toil and delighting in your achievements- wonderful 🕊💕
Oh, Kylie, Everything you do is extraordinary and beautiful. I watched the movie with Diane Lane and she bought a Villa in Tuscany for a moment it felt like I was watching Under the Tuscan Sun how beautiful you and Guido's home is. Lots of work! You're going to miss your mum and dad. I hope they come back again. I can't wait to see the bathroom I was hoping for this week. I love how the ceiling looks but the bathroom stencil WOW! How that turned out is a Big WOW good choice.
the episode was nice and happy to see your beautiful progress with the bathroom❣️
I must say though, Guido pissed me off with his irresponsible jumping on the wood and even more so with not helping you get up or even say sorry, he just stood there and quickly got back to his wood. You could’ve fallen flat on your face and scar it badly, wtf? Also- if we fall protect your face?! Why don’t you let him take it slowly by himself, without a helmet and see how efficient he is in protecting his face.. as a driver at least you should be more responsible, not to mention as a husband
sorry, had to be said
take care Kylie, much love
Yes, well said. We need to set our boundaries and stick to them. Male bravado!
Use a helmet…? Forget the face…don’t crack your head!
Lavoratori instancabili ,creatori di cose belle .
AMO LA CAMPAGNA FIORENTINA ! 😍💚
The tile reno is so beautiful! So well done! Best wishes to you all!
the wall is gorgeous but your attitude and enthusiasm and smile are the real beauties! Thanks for making our Friday! :-)
So kind. Thank you!
Kylie, it’s so cute how when you talk to Guido you speak with this Italian accent. 😍 And you speak in this sweet voice.
It's so beautifull..
TOSCANA FELIX
White roses on a bed of green.
Floating down a mossy sheen.
Sprung to life by artistry.
A bathroom with a floral sea.
To relish beauty‘s magic spell.
But will it last ? No one can tell.
Thank you for yet another wonderful episode reflecting your immense talent, enduring enthusiasm and inspiring ideas. 😚
How lovely! Thank you!!!
@@KylieFlavell Thank you. 😊 It‘s my humble praise of your exceptional work.
Amazing episode
You have done a beautiful job on your tiles. It looks amazing. How much fun to paint and design your trim. I am sorry to see your parents leave, I am sure you will miss them. They are amazing, such hard workers and so much fun. Thank you.
Working in the outdoors harvesting and managing nature's life sources is work and requires grit and it is an opportunity to experience personal worth. We learn much about others and self when placed in the outdoors. Guido's family estate is so dreamy. So beautiful with the views and the building structures that tell there own story, so European and so perfect of a back drop for the spirit of Kyle.
Kyle's father has beautiful carpentry skills and Kyle's mother is much like Kyle in willingness to preserve the integrity of all around her. Love the back ground music.
Perhaps hinges on the bottom and handles on the top so it opens down and can be accessed on both sides! Lovely videos btw, so enjoying watching this series each week!
wow and you get to live there !! Just beautiful looking out at the fields!!
You have no idea how much your films help me to dream...they are so inspiring, peaceful and relaxing...and also your taste makes them super aesthetically pleasing and beautiful to Watch! I, like you, have this love for beautiful things...🦋💐
Love u Kylie and thank you so much 💕 kisses to you and Guido from Marche 🇮🇹
I've decided I'm definitely a city girl!
Tart cherry trees are self pollinating but sweet cherry trees generally require planting of a different varietal in order for best yield. Hope this is helpful. Safe journey to your parents. TYFS, stay safe and healthy everyone
Is it worth taking the risk riding a motorbike without a helmet and why did he not ask if your ok when you fell over but love the stenciling in bathroom
Horses, tractors and even motorcycles.
Damn, guys, you surely know how to enjoy life in the countryside. 👏
Kylie your videos are very calming to watch. During this pandemic they have helped keep the mind sane for sure. Be careful, I have a few friends whom have broken limbs these last few weeks in the weirdest ways. You are young and can bounce back but broken bones are so difficult to heal.
the way he didnt even flinch when you fell 😬😬
Your parents are amazing
Omw!! The setting just makes one s heart soar.Bellissimo lavoro. molto bene😊👏
Beautiful view!!! 🌲🌳🌱
The GiSelA varieties sold in Europe is are small Cherry trees grown by farmers for fruit picking. The wild variety will grow too large to pick the fruits.
Absolutely amazing and so inspirational. God bless you all you for your hard work; it has surely paid off!!
Absolutely gorgeous work!!
Lovely nice crisp weather for you guys. Nice stencils and the green dried up nice a light sage kinda colour. Warm, and great waves here in Aussie of late. Next time Kylie when you renovate a room look to the ceiling first, finish that, then work your way down lol 😂
Hello! Sorry if its coming in a bit late. I think what matters more than variety is the male/female parts of flowers. To bare fruits there must be a male and female flower. Some like the apricot, probably have both male and female parts on the same flowers. My boyfriend's parents have singular cherry tree and it bares fruit every year because the flowers have both male and female parts. Hoipe this helps!
Lovely work in the bathroom Kylie. I am anxious to see the whole reveal. Please get steel cap boots and helmets for yourself and Guido. We don't want you two to hurt yourselves. Baci.
Another fine video, Kylie. I love how the bathroom is progressing and love the stencils you have chosen. The landscape is amazing, and each time I watch your videos, I am reminded to return to Italy. Hopefully when Covid has passed and my bank account is full again, I will return. In the meantime, I will live vicariously through your videos. Bellissima, Kylie. Ciao e tutti.
Kylie...I've watched your program for many weeks and I have now realized why I look forward each week to you publishing your latest program. I have realized that you are a "story teller" who's professional skill set is so perfectly aligned with your idea for a great program that it has attracted a half of a MILLION people!...Just think about that number for a moment...250 thousand subscribers!...Congratulations!
What differentiates your program from others is that it's not about YOU, it's about you...it's about everyday life of a person with a purpose in Japan, France, Italy...and now you have Guido and family as co-stars. Again, Congratulations Kylie. Already looking forward to your program next week.
Thank you so much, Russ!
YAY, the bathroom is coming along so nicely!👍Working on renovating & looking after the farm takes many hours & a variety of skills.. It's great that you & Guido, your mum & your dad, have many talents & skills to keep everything creatively ticking along. Enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing, Kylie. xx
Kylie, I just wanted to express my gratitude. Your videos has been really helping me so much and providing mental peace and comfort. Thank you so much.
I’m so pleased to know this. Thank you. 😘
You could even go down to the second tile below and do a trellis effects
Kindly requesting more videos with your parents. Their energy is inspiring. Would love to hear more of their story and lifestyle. Spin off RUclips channel perhaps?
A good call on the bathroom tiles and it already looks amazing. So good to see more sunshine as it's still dull and grey in the UK. I can't imagine how much you are going to miss your parents and hope they plan to return very soon. It seems you do need two different kinds of cherry trees for pollination, so you may need to plant more. Already looking forward to next week's update. That sunset was so beautiful!
Thank you! 🌷
This video brought back lots of good memories for me. When I was racing my family on 135 acres in hilly Wisconsin we always cut and burnt wood. We always joke that when you burn wood you got warm twice once cutting stacking hauling and then again when you burnt it. You two are very hard workers it sure reminds me of my life growing up but on a much smaller scale
Amazing Kylie, I love the stencil. The cabinet is a treasure. Your parents are Wonderful I see where you get your work ethic. Take a day off once in a while to breath!!
Kylie you are living my dream. I love your passion for the simple life but most importantly you always have so much love to share with everyone.
Thank you for sharing your life with wonderful life with me.❤️❤️🙏
Love the stencil choice, looks beautiful I can't wait to see the finished room!
Kylie you are amazing and Guido such a beautiful and appreciative man. You make such a lovely couple made for each other.
Your photography is stunning. It always take my breath away. I love the stencil work in the bathroom.
Your parents are wonderful and you will miss them so much when they return home.
I held my breath when you fell, I pray you didn’t suffer much afterwards as that fall would have rocked me quite a bit.
I will miss seeing your parents and think they are so good and kind. They have done so much along with you and Guido . Every time you look around you’ll be filled with great memories on all that has been done with your parents.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful life and country. ❤️❤️💋🙏🤗
Beautiful Kylie!
Great job!! So inspiring! Be careful on that bike over the dirt roads. My boyfriend and I fell once on a road like that and he’s an experienced motorist
Your talents have no ends. Can hardly wait to see the finished bathroom. Love the Italian scenery and good weather you are having.. Here in Montreal it’s between 10 to 20 below with tons of snow. Sono gelosa 😉………..🤗🇨🇦
As the snow falls all day here in upstate New York, I am warmed by watching this episode with all its Italian beauty, family love and cooperation. Buon lavoro! Thank you so much... Stephanie S
Beautiful !!!
Hi, first of all thanks for an enjoyable vid, we love seeing what creative ideas you have and how they work out. Now the boring bit, I am sure it's already been said but please please please do not go out on a motorcycle without the appropriate gear, at the very least a full face helmet and gloves. I am speaking from experience when i tell you that coming off a bike, even at low speed, can do a lot of damage. I had 62 stitches in my face after a fall wearing an open face helmet. Fortunately i already had a face like a bulldog licking vinegar off a thistle so if anything my appearance was enhanced. You and Guido are attractive young people and i'm sure you'd like to stay that way so please, helmets and gloves. 😁
Brava Kylie and Brovo Giudo and Bravissimi Kylie's parents :-) XXXX
Love the stencilling Kylie, so beautiful, love the white on the green. You work so hard and always remain so positive and so cheerful with everything. x 🙂
One Beautiful couple you both love each other and take care of each other.!! I love your energy and your show
What a productful time in this week's
I will miss your parents I can't imagine how you will feel yes?
What a beautiful home you and Guido are making. Thank you for sharing and your enthusiasm is just beautiful. Can't wait to see the final product of your bathroom renovation. Lovely.
Beautiful! I hope Guido got to call all of that woodcutting/splitting as his exercise for the day!😉
Kylie , it’s like your living a Fairy Tale !
Beautiful moments spent with you both, filled with laughter, smiles, working and playing as you go. Love what you have done in the bathroom and can’t wait to see the finished reveal! Many blessings to you both.
Guido, when a lady falls, you pick her up.
Beautiful video. The stencilled tiles really suit the style of the house. You and Guido work so hard, I am inspired for my own renos. I feel like you have really opened Guido up - when we first "met" him he was very serious and carrying the world on his shoulders. He obviously needed a free spirit like you in his life 😊 Agree with another commenter that the landscape and light looks like an oil painting. So, so beautiful.
You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us... Such a talented artist and filmmaker... Such a treat to witness your art.
This week I was rewatching many of your videos and now I got a new one , I’m so grateful that there exists people like you who can show the beauty of our Earth. Thank you Kylie ♥️
What a kind comment. 🙏🙏🙏
You’re doing a beautiful job with the painting in your bathroom and I hope you are doing well after you fell while chopping wood. You all always are so busy everyday thank you for showing us your progress so excited for you 🙏❤️😃
Over so soon, you make me laugh you guy's...your parents are real troopers. Another beautiful warm video. Thank you
