We bought this stone house in Italy during the pandemic in 2020. The house was a ruin and we saved everything we could, unfortunately that meant only four stone and clay walls! The back wall, against the terrain, was close to collapse; the roof beams were eaten and basically reduced to dust; the inside separation walls were easily taken down and the whole project turned into a heavy renovation/rebuild.
Follow our journey as we turn this old stone house into a beautiful home 😊.

Please remember: You have to wash the grout out always in a DIAGONAL direction. If you do it straight, you will wash the grout OUT. And there will be different hights in your grouts and dirt can stay there much easier and it is much more difficult to clean. Try it out and you will see the difference.
:O)
That kitchen floor came out looking beautiful. Job well done. 🇮🇱
Thank you!
What a beautiful result! All of your hard work turned out incredibly well!
Thank you so much ☺️
Your dog did an excellent job of supervising so that it turned out so well!
It couldn't have been possible without her 😅🐶
Buona sera e buona domenica
Buonasera e buona domenica a lei💛
I love watching your detailed and patient approach to getting the best result. The floors look truly beautiful. Well done
Thank you very much from the bottom of our heart ♥️
You did a wonderful job. I believe your furry inspector agrees!
She does 🐶
@@ateliermavi That was a great deal of work to get past the effervescent and mold! Those are the times in any project that many throw up their hands and give up. You should be proud of sticking to your design. Where your headed looks incredible!
Adding color to the grout to blend with the terracotta tiles -- by adding terracotta powder -- is GENIUS! It looks superb -- so rich, earthly, and sun-drenched. Bien joué! Ben fatto!
soy una persona de la cuarta edad y me fascina el proyecto de uds.los sigo siempre ,saludos desde Chile
It's looking very beautiful! Yes, it is important that you protect the terracotta, as it is a kitchen, fat or oil falling on the terracotta will permanently stain it.
6 Aydır sizi takip ediyorum. Tek kelimeyle müthişsiniz.
Thank you ☺️
Вы сделали тяжёлую работу и получили прекрасный результат! Пусть этот пол продержится столетия ! Очаровательный хвостатый помощник с вами 😊
Thank you very much ❤️
Acá esperando como todos los domingos su videos chicos!!! Saludos desde Argentina
Piece by piece the place transforms into a dream house. The floor looks amazing. You can be proud of your work. I hope you will enjoy it soon.
♥️
Muy buen proyecto exelente trabajo, nos gustaría que nos visitaran en México
The floor is looking amazing! Thanks to all the work you put into it! I like how your doggie, while taking care of his daily chores, none-the-less finds time to periodically check in on you all to ensure you are doing ok! :-)
♥️🐺 thank you!!
Labor with love and appreciation! It looks really nice! ❤
Thanks!! 🥰
I've been following since the beginning. İ hope everything turns out the way you want.I'm glad it's like my home
Thank you 💛
It’s a lot of work to grout those tiles but they are so beautiful. When I watched old videos of other renovations people would apply the grout over the tiles let it dry but then it was almost impossible to get the grout out. They would need an abrasive machine to grind the grout and that not easy work. Plus the nest is ridiculous. So I’m glad you guys have a great technique. Well done. It looks really beautiful.
Un lavoro certosino. Bello il risultato finale! Bravi ragazzi. Sembra che ci siete quasi. Un altro pochetto e potrete andarci a vivere nella vostra bella casetta
Grazie mille ☺️
I bet your heart sank when you came back from vacation and saw all that mould. I know you love working on these tiles 😜. The end result will be so worth all of your hard work.
Yes, it did, not a good christmas present! 😄
We used terracotta on our hearth but we sealed the tiles before they were laid. It was recommended to use boiled linseed oil, a very traditional treatment. We sealed the tiles again after grouting. Sealing first protected the tiles from staining and 5 years on they still look good. Love your grout solution. ❤
Yes we also used linseed oil to protect the tiles before grouting but it wasn't enough in our case 🙂
Bravo et bon courage. Cette terre cuite vous aura posé pas mal de soucis...
Thank you for sharing!❤
Rustic on top of rustic !!!
Masons use the same term Efflorescence in English. Efflorescence is a crystalline deposit of salts that can form when water is present in or on brick, concrete, stone, stucco or other building surfaces.
Bonjour et bonne année. J'ai regardé toutes vos vidéos pendant les vacances et je suis très impressionné de votre travail, de la patience et du résultat. Votre délicatesse sur les déconvenues des boulangers qui font du bâtiment en dit long sur ce que vous avez du supporter et que vous ne dites pas. Votre projet me fait rêvé, j'ai tout appris . La production de vos vidéos est vraiment bien et reflète bien votre état d'esprit, calme, sérénité et patience même si je pense que parfois cela a du être difficile et énervant. Bravo et merci.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire! 😊
Try making your grout wetter so that you can pour it into the joints
Sieht richtig schön aus! Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert darüber, wie viel ich noch versehe. Ich hatte fünf Jahre Französisch in der Schule und dachte ich hätte alles vergessen, aber das stimmt nicht. Eine sehr schöne Sprache.
It's coming along greatly! It is after all a labour of love.
Beautiful. Ageless. Looks like it's been there for 100 years, and thank you for the lovely music.
Quel travail d’entretien cette terre cuite, mais le resultat e, vaut la peine. Tres instructif, merci, et bonne annee !
Bonne année! 😊
I'm so glad that you found a product that worked, it would have been heartbreak if it didn't work. What a beautiful result, it looks amazing.👍❤
Thank you! 💛
Quelle patience! Elle est récompensée par un merveilleux résultat. Quel plaisir! 🥰
Merci beaucoup 🤗
Looks original ❤
Thank you!!
So nice! And of course you can use muriatic acid too for lime cleaning. Way more powerful than vinegar so a light touch is necessary. I've used it for many things, including spraying brick walls to remove efflorescence.
Génial, vous avez bien effacé le problème de laitance et avec le jointement le résultat est super ❤👏👍👍👍
Merci 🤗
The finished floor looks as if it's been there forever because it's perfect.
Thank you 🤗
First class result. Looking forward to seeing the next video 👍
Te voir frotter ce sol encore et encore m'a rappelé Sisyphe poussant ce rocher sur la colline pour l'éternité. Heureux que vous ayez trouvé un moyen de retirer la moisissure. Les sols sont magnifiques !
🫠 merci beaucoup!!
Love the floors!
Look forward to seeing you rollerblading on them
The floors are stunning. My dream flooring. Absolutely magnificent and I’m sure once you’ve finished this massive project, you will be beyond satisfied! Bravo!
Thankfully you only encountered this in the kitchen, it would have been a nightmare if it was all over.👍
Well, it's also in the rooms 😥
Oh no, at least you have found a solution. I just hope that it ends there. I think the house is looking absolutely amazing. Everything that you have done has enhanced the charm and character so much.👍❤
You two have the patience of a saint, and give us all hope in getting through remodeling setbacks :)
We are glad if we can inspire other to do it at home 🤗
I think Inspector Caiù approves!
😂we hope!
Jullie hebben écht veel werk gemaakt van de terracotta tegels. Het zoeken ernaar,her wassen en sorteren,het leggen,het extra behandelen en tot slot het voegen met daarbij behorende schoonmaken was een gigantische klus. Maar het resultaat mag er wezen. Een vloer voor het leven,die alleen maar mooier wordt. Prachtig werk!
Le rendu final est vraiment très beau! Très bons choix et superbe réalisation. Bravo !
Merci beaucoup 😊
As always, amazing work, and a perfect result, I love your work and videos, 20 years ago I saved and renovated a similar ruin in Bohemia, so I admire you very much, and I appreciate your efforts to save your dream house for rest and recreation. Ivan
Hello Ivan, and thank you for your kind words! Congratulations on your house in Bohemia, send us some pictures!! 🩵
We ADMIRE your patience and openness to learning procedures as you go. In the end you will be satisfied. Also your Black Wolfe will be healthy and very happy.
Simply put. You guys are so cool. Great job on the house so far. Can't wait to see the end results. And by all means, please don't stop there. You guys must continue on with another project. At least enhancing the yard area to accommodate the new look of the house. Just a thought. I'm chiming in from the U.S. And I will catch you at #79. Take care
Thank you! we would love to start another project after this one but our finances might not follow 😅
Those tiles look absolutely beautiful great work!
If your kitchen floor tiles look that good on video, in person the overall effect must be even more gorgeous!
Yes, actually they are better in person 😍
Thank you!!!
I must say with all the grueling laborious intensive work on the terra-cotta tiles, the end result is absolutely beautiful! Job well done, congratulations to both of you.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
C'est très beau, félicitations.

Il y a toujours des déconvenues ou des imprévus quand on fait des travaux. Les moments fastidieux et la pénibilité de certains gestes peuvent entamer notre moral.
Calma e sangue freddo anzi tutto

So much work, but how beautiful! You must be so thrilled!
We are indeed!! 🥳 thank you.
A lot of hard work but beautiful result. Love watching your progress. ( from Nevada, USA)
Thank you 💙💙💙
Beautiful result! But it’s a tedious and bone crusher process… congrats for your patience and perseverance 😅
Love the color of the tiles. Your French is very clear, I learn by listening to you😊
How interesting your grout material is. I never considered grout to be bad for the planet as such. You need so much grout and it's inspiring how much thought you've put into materials.
Ouf. Ouf. ! 🙏🙏🙏. Finalement après toutes ces épreuves. Avec ces up and down. on commence à voir la lumière au fond du tunnel. ! 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
❤️.
Patience & teamwork. It’s worth it. It will fantastic 🎉
Thank you very much 🩵
The floor is gorgeous😊
Outstanding!!! 💞👏🌻✌️🐾🇱🇷
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
❤как хорошо что вы спасли и вернули цвет плитки получился красивый пол ❤❤❤
Quel boulot, quel courage ! ❤❤❤
Merci beaucoup!
Mon dieu! So much work but rewarded with a beautiful finished floor❤️
Thank you very much! 🩷
I found myself wondering if a very thin mason's "pointe" could be used to press the mortar down into the joint. The joints look like they might be wide wnough. It might help getting less motar on the tile surface. But what you're doing iseems to be working well so perhaps not worth the extra effort. Looks really, really good. I hope you're taking a moment every day to step back and see how much you've accomplished.
un très beau rendu avec un magnifique soleil en prime
Oh what a trial but beautifully finished
Wow! Really surprised at the number of problems you had with the terracotta. Have never heard of anyone encountering those before.( Of course I know nothing about construction! Lol!) Congrats on your patient handling to finally get the colour you wanted.
Thank you!!
That is what I have been missing, ventilation! We usually have some kind of automatic air flow (not via machine) in our houses.
We will install one eventually, it will be placed above the laundry room!
Che bella!
End result looks great, oh boy what a lot of work though. Well done.
Thank you 💛
Hello again, back to the tiles again 😂but you are almost at the end and you did have a bit of a break …. You really did a lovely job with them, and grouting colour is perfect, sets the tiles off beautifully so that the overall appearance is so harmonious. Quite interesting how the pigment is derived from crushed old bricks. Truly repurpose and reuse. It will be nice to see your kitchen take shape once you are able to put the fixtures in. There are so many pieces to a kitchen and as you said they do take up a lot of space when they are spread out waiting to be installed. Will you be doing the installation yourselves? Lovely view from your terraces at the beginning of the video. Have a wonderful week.
Yes, we are!!
Thank you for all your kind words 💕
Ingenuity, patience, and artistry. Bravo!
The juxtaposition of such beautiful, durable results and backbreaking work is truly inspiring. Bravo!
Thank you very much! ♥️
You are a perfectionist, which I appreciate. The result is beautiful as you predicted.
🤗
Beau rendu ! Caillou veut absolument participer 😊
Bravo🙌 your floors are absolutely beautiful! Nice job matching the grout and removing the mold. Friendly reminder, please think about using masks whenever you encounter mold again! Thank you for sharing this🙏💕💃🏻🥰
What a terrific floor. Your grout tool is quite interesting. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace
Thank you! 💖
Love the look. Satisfying to see you finish the floor 💪
The floor looks great guys!!! Congratulations!!!👏🙏🏡
Thank you 🤗
Encore un tres bon travail!
I love the different shades of the tiles! Beautiful!
bravi ragazzi!
You should consider pre-sealing tiles prior to grout. It will make your job much more effective and less arduous. Try it in one of the bedrooms for example. Good luck.
We have already applied coats of linseed oil to pre-seal the tiles before grouting
Didn't mean to offend. Good to know. Here in the USA we usually grout with a hard rubber float which could save you time based on what I've seen. In other words, you could eliminate the drill and grout applicator. I am impressed with your work and perseverance throughout the series. Bravo 👏
It turned out so Beautiful..
Oh Gosh ....you could have done without all that extra work. Glad it all worked out well in the end. Great help from Ciou ❤❤
Thank you!
The grout colour and finish look great. Hopefully, the lime (instead of cement) and the natural colouring will allow easy repair of any future incidences.
