      It’s like a dream watching your channel, everything is just beautiful and oozing class, you really don’t need our advice choosing things for the home as you have the knack of picking gorgeous things, but for what it’s worth the rose tiles and square for the floor would be my choice! 🪴

    Kylie I had originally picked on Instagram the blue tile however.... after seeing the soft pink/crimson against the terracotta and the stone in the bathroom i think it looks so much softer and warmer against the other tones in the bathroom. Also thank you so much for taking the time to edit the subtitles, I'm learning Italian and really love listening to you talk while reading the subtitles to help me as I learn.

      @@KylieFlavell Hi Kylie, be careful watering your garden at night because you can end up with a fungus on your plants. Best to water in the AM (say 8-9 am) because the plants will get the water then the sun will dry off the leaves & top soil so no fungus grows. But, if you do decide to continue to water at night and do end up with a fungus (hopefullly not) there are natural remedies to stop the fungus that you can most likely find on you tube.
      Hopefully the heat wave will break soon for you & all of Europe!
      (ps I love blue but, love the red tile with your stone floor choice. Both are beautiful and both will look amazing in your new bathroom which ever you choose) 🍒🍎❤

I went farmhouse style fine fireclay sink and Tuscan profile door fronts, Lee wasn’t convinced at first as he’s very minimalistic and monochromatic (flat surfaces in grey tones) but now that it’s all together he loves it, even my sink with brushed brass tap. I did keep the grey tones which is classic and kept him happy but I’m hoping he can see my vision and let me have my filigree tiles for the bathroom floors. 🤞🏻

    Hi Kylie,
    I think I prefer the faded crimson because you've done white and blue before, something different and very complimentary with the floor tile. I would keep a simpler shape for the floor tiles since the walls will already have a strong pattern. Best of luck with your renovation and happy that your having a healthy pregnancy!

    Kylie Darlin, thank you for this gorgeous video❣️❣️. I so appreciate your attention to detail with a LOVELY romantic table setting. Italian linens are THE BEST and I’m addicted to collecting them. I especially liked how you combined the rattan placemats on the white linen and those lanterns!!! Sophia Loren said, “ Cultivating beauty is a form of respect for those we love”. You do that daily……Seeing those soft red tiles confirms my earlier choice. And I agree with some other comments about keeping the floor tiles simple and letting the hand-painted tiles & brass be the stars. 🌟✨💫

    • @KylieFlavell
      @KylieFlavell  2 года назад +7

    Kylie, I immensely enjoy your content. The countryside, the music, the renovations, your cooking, the videography … all works so beautifully with you kind voice. I couldn’t sleep last night so I binge watched your recipes. You made a comment in one of them about wondering if you were stating something about cooking that was too basic and may offend people. For me my distant friend (in spirit) I welcome even the most basic instructions. I never learned to cook. Was never taught. Now at 48 years of age I am learning and thoroughly enjoying it. I actually find it therapeutic. However, I recognize I do make mistakes the average cook would likely giggle at 😆 Anyway, thank you so very much for your content. So lovely 💕

    Lovely as always, it's 6:30 AM here on the East Coast of USA. The tiles are lovely but the design makes me think they should be set in a diamond pattern, rather than a square. The direction of the fleur-de-lis (or what ever it is) is directional.I think if I sat in a tub looking at them I would want them pointing up- No? I am a huge fan of Blue, but it might be too blue & the crimson looks more in the earth tones. Grazie mille for your artist eye & sharing your beautiful corner of the world.

It was posted just on time for me to enjoy it while having lunch; pasta with homemade Pesto and Proscuitto! It reminded me of my last trip to Italy. I went to Rome 10 days ago and indeed the heat wave was real ! You look stunning, I am glad you and the baby are feeling good and that you are both active now ;) Calcio storico what a fun pick into this florentin tradition! I remember reading about it last year while preparing my trip to Florence. Have a good week-end and see you next week with hopefully some more good news about the bathroom =) Quick note about the tiles, I was one of the few who selected the red tiles because it feels very rich and different from what you did in your other bathrooms renovations. I guess that the richness of the ground with the Terracotta floor will complement well the tiles and you will have a very warm and comforting color scheme which will be terracotta, red/pink/crimson, creme (stone from the double sink and probably the seals between the stones on the wall) and finally the brass from all the bathroom fixtures. Hope it can help you make the decision ;)

It is crisp and clean and you will find tons of wonderful blues in fabric and such. The crimson with the terracotta will just blend in together while the blue provides a fresh contrast. Your pesto recipe is so tempting. I admire the care that you take when you are preparing a meal just for you and Guido. I am so enjoying the process through which you home is finding its rustic roots.

Wow, you can't get any more italian/Renaissance than today's episode. From the pesto, to the stunning view, to the terra-cotta tiles, to the costumes, to nessun dorma! Sono completamente innamorata! ❤️ A presto, ciao

    Thank you once again Kylie. I hope you're getting enough rest in the heat, so looking forward to seeing your " little bean" ! The blue tiles are my preferred choice, but perhaps a bit stark in contrast with the floor. Whichever colour you choose I'm sure it will look enchanting. Keep well all 3 of you.

    I’m reading other comments and finding many of us feel the same 😂 I also voted for the blue initially, but now that I’ve seen the samples next to the other stonework, I think the crimson looks better too. I love the hexagonal terracotta floor with the stone walls, but I do think any of the shapes/layouts of the floor tiles will be lovely. Beautiful video and so happy for you that you have a floor now and there seem to be some possibilities with getting the plumbing done - fingers crossed!! 🤞

    It’s so interesting that when you were showing the floor tiles, there was a blue rug and in another sample a chair with a blue seat cushion, both of which look lovely as the blue compliments the tile and vice versa. My pick is still blue, complimentary colours with the terracotta, it’s cool and serene. However, if you choose the warmer tone on tone look of the red tile, some blue glass bottles, blue throw rug, towels etc might be gorgeous too 😉. A veritable feast for the senses whichever you choose, just like your vlogs!

    • @KylieFlavell
      @KylieFlavell  2 года назад +1

      Yes, that’s the floor in another part of the house and you’re right - we do have a lot of lovely blue accents in our furniture that work very well with the terracotta.

Treasure these moments that you have with your little one growing inside of you. I am constantly reminding myself that this is the only time you will be able to experience pregnancy for the first time. It’s truly a gift, even with the highs and lows.

      Guido and I can’t work out if I’m exactly at 6 months - who knew working out one’s pregnancy could be so complicated but we seem to get different timing from different sources online. But you’re right - it’s such a gift. Even the fatigue and first trimester of constant nausea. 😘😘😘😘

      @@KylieFlavell Yes! First trimester was intense for me as well, and I think it was so hopeful to remember that I’m not alone and that so many others have made it through these exact things. Women are so incredibly strong.
      I think that they way they estimated our due date was by fundal height (pubic bone to top of uterus) and first day of my last period. I’ve been using a few pregnancy apps, and the weekly updates seem to be on point with where I am at (22 weeks).
      Although, each body, baby, and pregnancy are so different. Just want you to know that both of you are in my thoughts, and you have a fellow mama to chat with any time you’d like a friend.

    I do like the reddish/soft pink/crimson coloured tiles when Guido put them up against the stone walls, looked so beautiful and more subtle then the blue. I can picture them with some beautiful white or cream coloured towels. Pasta looked amazing. Thank you for the recipe, so easy to do. The stone sink you chose was also lovely too. So happy you were able to get some help with your renovation. Pesto looked fabulous. Our weather in Canada where I live today was 37 degrees and you reminded me as I watched your video I must go out and water my plants. Making apple crisp as I write this with some apples that had started to go soft in the fridge. My home smells like apples and cinnamon. And my air conditioning is going.

I have shared your film with my friends because I know they will like the recipe. I have almonds, and fresh basil in the garden so will try making this for dinner. I always seem to forget to buy pine nuts! I love both of the tile colours. They are beautiful. I know that as you and Guido tune in to what you want to feel as you are in the space, you will choose the perfect one. I am seeing your renovations continue with ease and flow, no matter what issues there were... and that the delay has become a divine gift. You made me smile at the perfect moment too, to also see what you are wearing. I don't make a lot for me, yet I loved it so much on you that I made the same one for myself as a treat and am wearing it now. xoxo P.S. My oldest daughter is now in Italy, in Cortona at the moment and absolutely loves it.
