Thanks for watching the video Turning a Kitchen into a TV Room - Tuscan House Renovation
Christmas decor really suits the house. It's cozy and inviting and festive.
Fireplace mantle looks Beautiful ! 🎄🐦
💕💕😍😍
The Christmas decorations are lovely Nicki. Merry Christmas to all who read this. 😊
And to you!
Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤
Same to you 🎄🎀
Carlo did an excellent job clearing the trees! Lovely decorations too!!
Carlos is a seriously hardworking man, he never stops.
Embracing the dark in a TV room is fantastic. It’s so cozy and it is great for the TV watching. Like a movie theater vibe.
Yes!
Choose a dark, but warm colour.
If just a tv room, dark is great. If you want to include being able to sit and reading or have tea and visit then you’ll need to think of task lighting. Buona fortuna
Nothing worse than the sun shining on the TV and blinding you on a summer evening
What about a darker green? Or a dark terra cotta tuscan brown?
Congrats on not missing a video in four plus years. But, seriously, if you have a time when you can't post, don't fret. We are not going anywhere. And there's nothing you ever posted that we weren't interested in, because we're interested in YOU and Carlo and the family and what's going on. It's fun and at times, very motivating and inspiring in terms of unleashing our creativity and finding interesting solutions.
I agree, we aren't going to leave you Nicki if you need a break! Just plan ahead and enjoy some down time❤❤❤
@@missybelmont9830 The holidays are coming and as much as we'd like to share what's going on with Nikki and Carlo and Sky, people need to be free of the pressure to post!
It's so refreshing to see such support and understanding.
Carlo is a genius with his carpentry skills. Lucky you, Nikki.
Your husband is a hardworking man. He’s made remarkable progress in the woods. Then, he goes and takes care of renovations in the tv room. You’re a hardworking girl, yourself!! You two take it easy!
You are both doing a really wonderful job with the interior and exterior. I wish you many years of happiness, joy and good health in both your homes. Lovely to see Skye too.
Holly felt Carlo’s frustration and thought tummy rubs who make him smile and relieved his frustration!!!!! She’s a therapy dog!!❤❤
P.S. I love that your homes colors echo back to the various colors in your Tuscan landscape. Various colors or shades of green, orange, red, browns, etc.
Beautiful decorations! Very natural and attractive
Your Christmas decor is perfect! Carlo must make the list of BEST GUYS IN THE WORLD! His abilities and energies are endless!
Embracing the darkness of the room makes sense. I used to live in a Victorian house and the back room had little light and painting it a rich raspberry red made it a beautiful dining room especially at night lit by candles
I appreciate your consistency, even though you felt that you didn’t have interesting material, we still look forward to seeing the videos. I follow several people who don’t think twice about missing posting videos. I know things happens sometimes that would cause people to miss posting a video. It’s unbelievable that you haven’t missed a video in 4 years.
Thank you for taking us to Italy every week.
P.S The decoration looks lovely 🎄⛄️🎁
Wow! If this is your first attempt, Nicki, you're a PRO at making decorations! They look lovely--not too much, not too little! And your TV room is fantastic! KUDOS to Carlo for fixing up the walls, to you for choosing the paint, etc. Your house is becoming "your own" and looks absolutely lovely!
The decorations are absolutely lovely!
There is nothing Carlo can't do (and do so well!) A very special and intelligent man!
Thank goodness you posted - I dont care if it’s not how YOU usually like to post.Cause I loved it. 🥰
Carlo has done a wonderful job clearing the area for you to have a nice path to enjoy walking with your babies.
So happy you didn't skip a week I'll speak for myself I would have missed the two of you.
Please never think youve got to entertain each and ever week; sometimes reality is more important.
I think all of us just love spending a moment in time each week with you and Carlo.
My god please don't apologize why or what you're doing in your house.
I personally love you guy's!!!! ❤
The lights with the foliage is beautiful and I have to say very original. Very attractive.
You should continue with the lovely green paint. After all this is yours and Carlos' house, not your friends, and should reflect YOUR personality, not someone else's. Your video makes my Sunday and is my top choice. Love you all.
I liked the green as well.
Me also. I love the green.
Yes…because she said she likes color..bright and cheery…
Wow the morning views over the Tuscan landscape picture perfect. Gorgeous Crimbo decorations. Carlo doing a sterling job on the terraces. I think the tv room could look nice in the dark mustard colour.
I'd paint the entire room, woodwork and all, in that gorgeous green. Stunning and oh so cozy! Happy Holidays to all!
totally agree! It will go with the floor and while it’s dark, it’s not too dark. Accent with trim.
What a formidable team Nicky and Carlos make. As a Christmas bonus, Skye is here to help. 💫💫💫The land work reveals terraces of olive trees and spectacular views. You have created a magical family home in Tuscany and made it uniquely yours. 🏡 Nicky's decorations are perfect. 🎄
You're Amazing Nicki! Never missed a Sunday! We love you and have soooo much respect for your hard work on Everything! You are truly an inspiration! Love from Tampa! Merry Christmas! So happy your baby is home with you!
Love you both always!
Thank you for granting us a glimpse into your life, home, and the Valley.
Love the colors for the dining room, you will figure out the TV room but having it dark will be good for movie nights. Great job with the Christmas decorations, very classic. So glad you have been getting time to spend with Skye.
I agree with a previous comment. If you are going to do a "dark" room. The TV room is the place to embrace it!🥰 By the way, your decorations are lovely.
❤ love your Christmas decorations!
Don't fret, Nicky! We love makeovers/Befores and Afters! 👌🏼😉 And Carlo, great job at clearing the land!👍🏻😉
The views from your house are beautiful, enjoy! 🤩
YEEEEESSS embrace a dark, moody color scheme, it’ll be absolutely fabulous! You did an absolutely fantastic job with the Christmas decorations! I would love to see you decorate a tree, I think that you would really knock it out of the park, so to speak 😂On a different note, if you ever find yourself feeling you don’t have enough content, my darling Nikki, all we need is you and Carlo having a chat out on the beautiful grounds, about life or what’s happened in the last week, or even what your plans are for the future, or really anything, we just love to watch you banter back-and-forth. And if you’re out on the grounds with a beautiful Tuscan or Positano backdrop, what more could we ask for?😉
I would watch you thread a needle if that’s what you recorded. Carlo can just look handsome. The End🩷
It's wonderful that Carlo is so handy! From renovations to landscaping! You are both very hard working. Everything is looking great!
Smart decision to embrace the darkness in the TV room...makes for better TV viewing!!
I’m a mural painter, and want to compliment you on your bold color choices. FYI, if your golden tone color is too stark, try mixing a little of the warm color on a scrap board until you get a happy balance. Your color choices are good. It’s the varied light that the colors are viewed in, that can sometimes benefit from a tweak. Use the same talent you have perfected, as a makeup artist Nicki. You have great aesthetic talent.❤
The green you chose to paint the shelves is really pretty. It matches the green in the painting of Positano on the shelf. Nicki I love what you did with the Christmas decorations. It came out so pretty. Carlo are so talented. I can't believe how much you have cleared in the woods. It looks so much better.
Carlos is doing something my dad taught me years ago. When you have a hole that is too large for just patching plaster, you use a damp paper towel to fill the hole and then patch it. Looked like Carlos was using plain paper. So clever.
I think a deep, lush green would look lovely in your TV room.
Happy to catch up with my favorite Italian family on this rainy cold day in the states. Happy Sunday All!
Watching from San Diego. It’s silly I know but I really feel like I’m checking in with my friends in Italy each Sunday morning😉 I’m glad she didn’t skip this week. I always enjoy each video no matter what’s going on.
This was a joy to watch. It's always interesting to see how you and Carlo work together and accomplish projects of your own. The holiday lights and foliage is amazing!
Personally, I would stick to the lovely green in the TV room because it adds a cosy zing to the room.
Carlo has performed miracles getting rid of the acacia and vines - the terraces hold more promise now.
I love your Christmas decoations too.
I prefer the green too.
I look forward to the weekend just to watch your channel. I love the DIY projects and watching the interactions between you, Carlo, and Skye, such a beautiful family! The Tuscan sunrise is breathtaking!
Thank you for sharing this video and not missing a Sunday 😊 Your Christmas decorations look beautiful! I loved the tv room with white, beige and green but whatever you decide will look lovely since you have a great eye for colour. Buona Domenica!
I love what you’ve done in your fireplace area and kitchen. You shouldn’t worry about what other people think. It’s your life and you are living it. Be happy!
Love everything you're doing here. These things can def be trial and error but all the pieces seem to be coming together. Christmas decorations are perfection. Thanks for sharing your homes every Sunday.
The greenery in the kitchen is lovely.
Beautiful Christmas decorations and I like the green Annie Sloan color so much that I think I will buy some for myself so thank you!
Bravo Carlo for doing a great job clearing up the woodland. Wonderful idea, Nikki with the decorations. Till this Wednesday.
Painting a dark room a dark colour is a great design trick. Go for it Nicki.
I had a white-on-beige linen and cool pastel home for years. I loved it and couldn't imagine living with anything else despite living with three dogs. But we bought a new home with darker tiles and walls. I love embracing this warm, shadowy interior which I couldn't have imagined before. Embrace what you have and you'll find contentment. Love your greenery on the shelves. I so enjoy your videos. Have a fun time decorating and fixing and doing in your new digs.
Decorations are lovely :). Great job. The TV room is looking good. Good to see Skye with you and Carlo. Looking forward to next week. 😊❤
I love the green. Even if you paint the walls dark, it will look wonderful, and it matches the lampshade
Your Christmas decorations are simply gorgeous! I wish I had your talent. ❤
I love sage green. Love the color of the shelf. Even the back wall where the sofa is being painted a darker green would work. My childhood bedroom was done in yellow and green.
Love love your Christmas decorations.
Whenever I see those stairs in the house, I miss that beautiful fence so much, I keep imagining it there again....🙋♀💞😃
Did you notice the “fence” on the stairs in the abandoned house from last week or so?? It was so beautiful and I wanted to shout out - look 👀 look at that- 😊
Love your kitchen Christmas decor! I think you will really enjoy embracing the cozy dark colors for your home. I’ve countered the stark white walls of my Florida home with really deep blue tones. These are the rooms I’m drawn to and feel best in! Have fun choosing colors!
I’m so happy you chose the dusty rose/red as one of the colors for the dining room.
I also love your Christmas decorations!
The branches and lights and decorations are delightful..
Nicki I’m so happy you decided to share this wonderful video.
The decorations are nice! I am glad falls in Tuscany seem to be less severe than those in Positano!
Bravo Carlo! Great job! Looks nice! Thank you both! Love seeing your videos each week! 🎄❤️🎄
I love the Christmas decorations. It’s soft and elegant.
How nice that Skye is spending an extended visit with the two of you - enjoy! The TV room will look great dressed in darker colors. We are always amazed at the work you two do, inside and outside your houses! I do love the natural swags you've made. Our Christmas tree didn't survive this last move. It's a "blessing in disguise" as this is a smaller house and guests notice my other Christmas decorations. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you for putting up a video! I would say to put one up even if it is very short, not your usual, and what you might think is very boring. I am sure we will love it because it is so different than our lives. Your area is gorgeous! As usual, I can't beiieve what Carlo can do, from clearing the land to recreating a new RV room! I loved your Christmas decorations! No need to buy a bunch of decorations and ornaments that do not have any family history or meaning just to put something up.
Your garland looks fantastic love that you wrapped each branch individually to give the lights a more cascading look than all bunched together.
Love the decorations.It's fun to watch Carlo transform your "backyard"!
Nicky, I love the colors you and Skye chose for the tv room and your Christmas decorations are absolutely gorgeous. Carlo is a genius when it comes to coming up with a quick DIY fix.💕
I love the Christmas decorations! Can’t wait to see how the paint job will look as well.🥰
Love the idea of dark walls in the theater room. Maybe indoor shutters or bamboo shades on the two windows as well. Maybe think about the brown/gray tones? Maybe the color GREIGE a color between beige and gray? Good idea to wait to decide after adjoining rooms have color. Love your natural Christmas decorations. Your Tuscany real estate is really becoming a home. Thank you for our Sunday visit. We don’t care what you film. Sunday would not be the same without a visit.
Love you all❤️
I hope you guys are all doing good. Have a wonderful holiday season! ❤❤❤
Nicki, I love the lights and especially the fireplace!
Beautiful Christmas decorations.🎉
The greenery and lights over the fireplace mantel and in the kitchen look beautiful!! Fun to see all the clearing work Carlo has done.
Carlo is the Michelangelo of DIY. I love his ability to improvise. In his case form follows function. He does what he has to do to make something look good enough and not be too much crazy work. There are a lot of people who live in French château, who could learn from him. They spend their whole life trying to make everything look like Versailles. They confuse themselves with louise the 14th and Marie Antoinette. You and Carlo are role models for sane DIY and redecorating. Bravo.
I love the garlands and lights. Very cheerful.
Since you love the green go with a darker more hunter or forest green. There are gorgeous shades of green now & green is in!!! Embrace the green. It will also be great for a tv room. Very masculine & warm. Carlo needs his own home improvement show!!! And I love your Christmas decor!!!!
I love an eclectic style of decorating. Go with what you feel, make it your own. I love what you two have done with the house. I always can't wait to see what you'll do next. Enjoy your time with friends and family this holiday season and as always, thank you for sharing with us. Ciao
I look forward every Sunday to watching your channel. You are my favorite channel.
Wednesday is a treat.
Loved seeing Skye.
Enjoying all your projects. ❤
The Christmas decorations are lovely. You should be pleased! Excellent job. I also like how you pace yourself when it comes to paint color. No need to rush. I often let the room tell me what colors are needed.
Congratulations to Carlo for all his great landscape restoration and room transformation efforts. So sweat to see Holly loving on him, and in pops gorgeous Indie. And it is always wonderful to see Skye with you. I know you’ve got more videos before Christmas but I’ll still take this opportunity to wish you all Happy Holidays!!❤ Your videos are wonderful and your Tuscan dream home and surroundings are breathtaking.
Always good to see Skye. I love color too! The terraces are turning out so well. That's a lot of work. Good job Carlo and the decorations look beautiful Nicki.
It is so lovely and if it makes you happy then that is all you need.
Wow! Carlo does it again! Clearing the trees for a continuing path! I love the TV room.❤
Love your holiday decor!!! Beautifully magical - thank you, as always, for a fun and colorful absolutely lovely and delightful video!
Lights and fresh branches and ornaments look great in the kitchen. Love seeing all the land clearing.
Your Christmas decorations are very nice. And look at your subscriber total.🎉 Yay. ☺️
Hi, I am so glad you’re describing the colors, so in my mind I can imagine the color scheme, being color blind is the shits, sorry about my language, have a great week.
Carlo is so good at everything he does. Such a hard worker. He is unstoppable in his vision for this beautiful Casa in Tuscany. I can not wait to see what happens next. Lots of love from Gail "Downunder"
Your Christmas decorations are stunning!
Love watching your channel. Happy Sunday all.
Coffee + Nicki & Carlo = Funday! Sunday. @ 0:28 what a FANTASTIC! view. Carlo is always doing, and doing and with much love in his heart for his woman Nicki. LOL! @ Holly inspecting Carlo' work. Skye looking lovely as always.
Your home get more cozy every time. It's a lovely home, i enjoy your video's so much. Thanks for showing us again.❤❤
Holy crap!you scared me so bad when you fell,im glad you're ok.
Your house and land is lovely,so happy to see Skye staying with and helping to decorate.
I absolutely love your Christmas decorations! I understand not having room for a tree as I don’t either. So impressed with Carlo on the projects he takes on. And I can’t wait to see the color you pick for your TV watching room. I think the dark color will look fantastic!
Green is my favorite color, and that shade is spot on. I'd paint everything in shades of green if not stopped! If you go darker, try a plum color. Colors for dining room are fabulous ❤ I'm sooo excited for you.
I have the darker gold color in our living area. It is cozy and changes atmosphere with the light. We love it and have lived with it for 14 years.
Wow, that morning shot of the sun and valley looked like a painting. Beautiful.
Carlo is doing a great job clearing those paths. Can’t wait to see what color you decide for the TV room.
The greenery and lights on the fireplace and range hood are so beautiful. A+ for sure. 😊
Thankyou Carlo for filming. I so look forward to sunday with you. Great to see everyone is well.
