In this episode Emelie is away in Sweden, so I make a push to finished the kitchen to surprise her when she returns. This is involved using a circular saw for the very first time and some other interesting details.
Also in this episode I attempt to install the patio (French) doors for the stable conversion - make sure to watch to the end to see how I get on.
With all these jobs slowly getting done we are one step closer to restoring this abandoned farmhouse in Italy.
Our Story:
We sold our apartment in Stockholm, packed up the car and headed for Piemonte. After a couple of months searching for the right house we came across Our Italian Dream House and immediately made an offer. Four weeks later (just three days before Christmas) we signed the contract and had the keys.
It's now early 2023 and work on this epic renovation is underway. We are mortgage free and have a very limited budget so plan to take on as much of the renovation ourselves as possible - follow us on our journey as we turn an abandoned Italian farmhouse into our dream home.

I love watching your project, you guys are a long ways from washing dishes in the shower, awesome job. Keep up the great job.
As always, thanks for your support Christine. Thank goodness I don’t have to break my back doing dishes in the shower any more 😂
The doors look great! And the houses in general are really coming along. Didn't appreciate the clickbait thumbnail though.
Thanks for the feedback, we’ll keep the thumbnails less click-batey moving forward 😊
There’s literally no clickbait on the thumbnail lol 😂
Hello
I just discovered your channel today
Have watched a few of your vlogs
I have subscribed without hesitation
You have a lovely home in a very beautiful country
Andrew 💐💜x
Thank you so much 😁
Hi Emily and Ed, what are you up to, haven’t seen any update in a while and I am really curious how things are going. I am vacationing in the Langhe region btw, it is as beautiful in reality as it is in your videos!
great work again. We all learn from your mistakes Thank you!!
hahaha thanks Erica. At least our mistakes are doing some good somewhere else.
@@OurItalianDreamHouse Absolutely.😄
I'd suggest a binge watch of Robin Clevett, Scott Brown Carpentry and Peter Millard. You will learn a lot about house restoration, carpentry and cabinet making.....They are great channels for a DIY project.....
Thanks for the tip, I’m a big fan of Scott Brown and try to learn as much from his videos as possible to help with this house 😊
Excellent work
Thank you Leigh!
Quick tip when installing a door frame... check the two diagonal measurements are the same and you know you've got it square.
Hi Jonathan, really appreciate that tip. I will be reinstalling the window properly in the coming months (just chucked them in now to weather proof the building) so will use that technique then 😊
Wow, Edward! That was a productive weekend. Your problem solving skills are amazing. Congratulations on an incredible job. The house is coming along beautifully!
Thanks so much Michelle. Although details are such a small part, the progress somehow feels significant when you do those small jobs 😊
You have such a beautiful dog. :). Nice progress
Thank you! Beautiful but cheeky - just the way we like it 😁
Where abouts are you guys located in Piemonte? My girlfriend & I have been viewing houses in the Susa Valley to renovate so it's awesome to watch these videos of you already doing it!
We're between Asti and Alba. Great location, can highly recommend it :)
Great job. The doors are beautiful. Great to get those small bits finished in the kitchen.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much, Barbara 😊
Love your project!! My wife and I always look forward to a new post ☺️ We also are watching the project with Villa Aroldi - great fun to see you both make a special cameo 🥰🤩
Thanks so much, more videos are on the way soon! Great that you follow Villa Aroldi too, their project is really awesome - we really enjoyed getting to see it first hand 😁
@@OurItalianDreamHouse I enjoy their channel as well.
Nice video Edward .. well done! Have missed seeing you, so really happy to see more of how you’re doing with the renovations 😊 Love your channel !!
Thanks so much Shirley. More videos are on the way, promise 😊
Glad to see you are doing well Ed, been enjoying watching this project, very inspiring.
Hi Jay! Thanks mate, really cool that you have been watching. Hope all is well with you.
Awesome job Ed! Emelie will be thrilled I'm sure! 😍🤗
Thanks Marisa, she was very happy to see the progress. 😊
@@OurItalianDreamHouse that’s awesome!!! So happy for you both! 🥰♥️
Getting a lot done. Good for you!
Everything is looking great! What a transformation so far!!
Thank you! So much has happened since the last episode as well, cant wait to share the new progress in the next one.
@@OurItalianDreamHouse I'm looking forward to it! Your updates have made my dreary winter a bit more bearable. Thanks for your efforts!
Great Job looks good. Emily has such a good Taste for Furniture and Colors.
Thanks! Yes, she has a really good eye for the design - this project would e hopeless without her!
You do a great job. Enjoyed watching- well done again
Thanks for your support John!
...beautiful doors...👍❤
Looking forward to seeing how you style the rental units. Based on your house they will be amazing!
That's so sweet Laurie - thank you!!!
Excellent job on the doors! Looking good!!
Thanks Henrik and Anna. Unbelievably impressed with your progress lately, really loved the daily vlogs. Looking forward to you bringing them back for a second instalment! 😁
@@OurItalianDreamHouse Thank you! They are back sooner than planned!!
Lovely jobs finished 👌 well done 👏
Thank you Annette!
You're doing a great job!
Thank you, Cindy 😊
Looking good, Edward! Hope Emelie will be excited to see the progress! I use a wood preservative on our front door in Anghiari (super easy to work with) which would probably be perfect for your beautiful new exterior doors...they look awesome! I got the preservative at Brico, but the name of it currently escapes me. I'll let you know if I can find it. 😊
Thanks Carolyn, she was very pleased to see I managed to get some jobs done. It was touch and go whether I’d get my act together or just have a Netflix marathon whilst she was away. I’m generally pretty lost without her! 😅😂 That product sounds ideal! Would love to know what it’s called if you can remember it 😊
@@OurItalianDreamHouse Veleca RINNOVA SERRAMENTI ml. 750 OLIO PER LEGNO - aspetto SATINATO/CERATO There you go! Hahaha...glad you managed to overcome a Netflix marathon urge! I'll send a pic of the product to your IG messages, too. It's a super product and I have used it for several years now. Have a great week!
Looks good, making a lot of progress 🇮🇹💪
Thanks Rolf!
Nice with someone fixing the last 10% 😊.
It's so easily overlooked. Once you've been living in a building site for so long, sometimes 80% feels like enough 😂
@@OurItalianDreamHouse I can sympathise with that :)
Hi guys, great new video. We always look forward to the new ones coming out.
Do you find you’re restricted at all in what you’re allowed to do yourself? Are you allowed to do your own plumbing and electrical work if you wanted to or must you employ a local certified person?
Hi Mark, thank you so much!
Yes and No. Since we are renovating hoping to get the 50% bonus (which is now closed for people who havent already got their permissions) we have to have professionals doing both plumbing and electrical work so it gets certified. I however think the rules can vary between villages and our village is more strict for sure. I'd highly recommend to follow Not Useless Yet, he's doing All the work himself and has managed to get around the system very well :)
❤
Good job. 😍👍
Thank you 😊
👍
Love the handles! Just curious why you could not put an Ikea corner cabinet in the space you were covering up? I had this same situation and replaced with Ikea cabinet with pull out that I love.
Good question! We did think about it, there are two reasons why we didn’t - it would have caused placement issues for the dishwasher and sink and it would have also thrown off the symmetry of the kitchen drawers. 😅 Luckily we have lots of other drawers/storage in the kitchen that made sacrificing that space for aesthetics acceptable 😊
Really lovely patio doors. Where did you get them? We are danish couple renovating house in Liguria.
Hi Mia, we managed to find these ones on Facebook marketplace - only €160, can you believe it? Maybe worth having a look on there for your renovation, since the 110 bonus it seems like there are a lot of old ones in good condition on there (in this area at least). Best of luck with the renovation 😁
In America we call the wood used to fill spaces between caninets/walls "fillers". But I'm wondering why you did not use a blind cabinet. Perhaps it's called something else in Europe but blind cabinets are installed in a corner where two cabinet runs meet, and a portion of the cabinet is hidden by the one adjacent to it. The hidden section serves as storage without giving up space in a corner. Google has pics.
We have them too but it didn’t fit with how we wanted the rest of the kitchen.
Loving those handles 👍🏾
Very nice doors. Are they wood w/glass?
Thanks! Yeah, they are wood with double glazed glass in them 😊
10:00 you missed an unbelievable opportunity. You should have purchased a toy skeleton , stick it in the void, then place a sign in its hands with your RUclips name and the date.
Hahaha love this idea - might have to dismantle just to do this 😂😁
how come we haven't seen a new video for 3 months?
We've been super busy this summer. Hopefully we'll get a new video out soon :)
Hi Emily and Ed- we want to move just south of Vercelli- do you know a good English speaking geometra by any chance?
You should speak to Silvio Basso at Studio Basso in Asti :) He's a really great guy and speaks perfect english.
We haven't worked with him but know him personally.
@@OurItalianDreamHouse thank you so much!
A waste of space in that void.
Noted!
