Wonderfully done! Great decision to shift from the chevron to the rectangular design with the tiles. It is much more interesting (and visually calming).
Wow can you teach others how to do renovation video as smoothly has yours. Very professional and interesting, showing us only what most people want to see. Great 👍
Just beautiful. I would have had to put maybe a white, to blend, full refridgerator on the left side of the kitchen and it would have been symmetrical with the right side door opening. I could never live with that tiny fridge. Lovely.
Ciao! Thank you for sharing your journey in Italy. We have very much enjoyed all of your videos and just wanted to let you know that we will be here following you 🇮🇹❤️🥂
Thanks Ronnie! We’re almost at the finish line now, around six months after we’d started. So lots of exciting moments to share soon as I get round to editing it all :)
Wow. Love what you're doing with the apartment and love your channel❤. Florence is a beautiful city too so it's a win win to subscribe to your channel 😊 plus you have a very calming voice. Looking forward to seeing your progress which by your sneek preview is amazing. You certainly deserve to be proud of yourselves.
I’m so happy for both of you! Not an easy task at all you had but you did an absolutely amazing job! Looking forward to your next videos on your renovation.
Thank you! I’d say the work that we put into those floors deserves a million views haha 😄 but in all seriousness it’s as much a pleasure to capture the story as it is to share it with you guys on RUclips so at the end of the day the numbers aren’t so important, and reading feedback like yours helps keep us going ☺️
Great video, well done guys 👏 We have similar plans to buy a house, renovate and move to Italy, but without much construction skills we do not know how to find trusted geometra or builders, so we are a bit hesitant 🙂
Thank you. And I totally understand your hesitancy… recommended professional contacts might be great, but in my experience it’s better to interview multiple different contractors before deciding. I’d say go for the one that you have the best instant relationship and connection with, because at the end of the day, when things go wrong - and they will - navigating those moments with contractors that you have a rapport with helps so much. The reason is that in italy… professionals only really go that extra mile to help you if they genuinely like you. And equally, if you ever piss them off - even if you are justified in your complaint - they will totally neglect you 😂 Professionalism is a very personal thing in italy, I’ve learned.
Lovely video! I learned so much. One question - how did you learn about historical restoration/preservation? I was wondering if there are courses one could take, or if experience would be best.
Well done chaps. What fantastic tiling you have done. I am in awe ! From the preview you seem to have the right idea on decorating too. I hope by subscribing this helps with financing . It would be nice to know what you paid for it but I understand that is a rather personal question. I live in the Scottish Borders and am thinking of moving to Edinburgh. From a large house to a two roomed flat ! Watching you has given me courage Best wishes
Hello Ninian, it’s so interesting to read your comment! I totally understand the desire to move to the heart of an art city, which I hear Edinburgh very much is like Florence in that way. There’s something about being surround by the architecture and that culture that produces so much more inspiration when it comes to designing the interiors of your city pad. It takes time, maybe many years of adding new character pieces or little features here and there, but you’ll notice your sense of design becomes so much more sophisticated in that kind of environment. I wish you the best of luck! And yes, every subscription helps. RUclips will allow me to start monetising my channel only when I reach 1,000 subscribers, so that’s the goal for now!
Can you tell me what company supplied your terracotta tiles. Were they from Impruneta? What is the double tile which you had to separate called in Italian?
Hey Patrick! Yes the tiles are for Impruneta, just south of Florence. All terracotta tiles made in the Italian tradition are made originally as double tiles - that’s the shape of the moulds that they put into the furnaces. It’s basically twice as efficient to produce, which is why they are made that way. As for the seller, it was a private individual who we found while exploring Imprunta who happened to be storing excess stock, which we were able to buy up. So it was kind of a one-off. There’s a bunch of producers around there so you can do a bunch of site visits and simply chose your preferred supplier
Congratulations, really impressive work!!! We are struggling to find a good cotto supplier, it would be great to know where is the cotto supplier you bought the cotto from, would it be possible to have the name? Thanks a million!!
The supplier we found is completely analogue, no phone contact or website 😂 but let me suggest that you google search “Imprunetta terracotta”, it’s a town just outside of Florence which has a bunch of companies and factories of cotto. Some are very expensive which specialise in the export market, but the smaller ones can have great prices. Good luck!

Beautiful! Love the choices that you're making! Subscribed so that we can follow along :)
I'm in love with this series. Thank you for your work.
Wow, hard work pays off, good on you doing the terracotta tiled floors on your own, bravo 👏
Wonderfully done! Great decision to shift from the chevron to the rectangular design with the tiles. It is much more interesting (and visually calming).
You guys are amazing and you should feel so proud…. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This place is Everything
Love the 3D Boxes. I have the same pattern in my bathroom. So timeless yet modern at the same time.
Wow can you teach others how to do renovation video as smoothly has yours. Very professional and interesting, showing us only what most people want to see. Great 👍
I' seeing this backwards because I saw the Romanilli first. Your finishes were exquisite.
Thoroughly enjoyed this ☺️
Just beautiful. I would have had to put maybe a white, to blend, full refridgerator on the left side of the kitchen and it would have been symmetrical with the right side door opening. I could never live with that tiny fridge. Lovely.
Tiles are AMAZING!
An amazing restoration/renovation, I can’t wait to see how you finish your living quarters.
Auguri ragazzi! bellissimo. cheers from Switzerland!
Grazie mille! Un saluto cordiale di Firenze 🇮🇹🇨🇭
The tiles turned out stunning & I love the frescos.

Disclaimer: it’s not easy 😂 but I can also guarantee it will be one of the most satisfying things you’ll ever do once it’s completed!
Wow! Just amazing, love the apartment, congrats to you both on your apartment, love the channel ! ❤️
This is simply amazing well done you guys for finding a way. The floors are ❤️❤️ You deserve a million views

@@TheBritalianJob thank you for the quick reply 🙂
Great job! Are you gonna notarize the split up into smaller apartments? Some info on how to do that in Italy would be cool. Thank you
Thanks Andre! That’s a great question, I’ll be sure to cover it in a future video
Lovely video! I learned so much. One question - how did you learn about historical restoration/preservation?
I was wondering if there are courses one could take, or if experience would be best.
Hope in the end u will make a video of complete house tour , fully furnished and decorated .
Absolutely, though it may take many months to complete such a big video!
Well done chaps. What fantastic tiling you have done. I am in awe !

I used to call my uncle Emilio Em, I was wondering if Em is Emilio, Emanuele? Love watching as you move forward together, baci.
Thanks Allan! Your second guess was spot on: Emanuele 😊
i can listen to your voice for hours. Lol!
Can you share what is the color & brand of paint you used on the fresco room. Can not wait to see your decor patio and garden 🪴 bravissimo
Hello Leticia! The paint is called Trench 6 from a DIY chain in Europe called Leroy Merlin

@@TheBritalianJob thanks so much, I will do the search straight away! Again congratulations for your fantastic videos, they are absolutely amazing!
Please don't take too long with the next episode. I know you're busy but I'm very nosey. Lol.
This made me chuckle! Thanks for the support and can’t wait to show you what comes next :)
Now I see it is for sale by Romanili
I spotted that as well; it's a beautiful apartment but I was very surprised to see it listed.
seems to me like other folk are doing the hard work whilst the lovebirds get to report it all on utube.
That said, the job is a very nice one.
How to renovate,? Have an abundance of cash!

Too many adds so I will not be following this adds are destroying all of these Vlogs
Thanks for the feedback. My channel only just got monetised yesterday so I’ll reduce the amount of ads for a much better balance :)
