Babel well I’m about to show you all the
kitchen but it’s in such a state that I
had to go and get a coffee first at one
of my favorite places here in pivano
this is Cafe altico and I’m just about
to have my
Americano to sort of Cal me down
haaha before I show you guys the kitchen
it is really exciting don’t get me wrong
but there’s still just so much to do so
I just need to breathe and drink some
coffee
hi everybody and welcome to my little
Italian house today is so
exciting because I get to see my kitchen
which has been under renovation
construction um restoration whatever you
want to call it for the past last couple
of months and I’ve only had video that
was sent to me I was here when they
first started it but then of course had
to go back to England for the other
historic house that is sometimes under
construction as well called Matton but
I’m back here now to check up on the
work and also to give you guys a tour
now next door to me or really across
from me is another spectacular house
that is completely being gutted
renovated and it is looking so so so
smart the scaffolding is still up but
it’s looking amazing I also do want to
say that I am just it’s it’s amazing how
much I’ve missed the Sun so in England
we like haven’t seen the Sun for six
months I promise you it’s been gray it’s
been rainy it’s been the worst winter I
can ever remember so when I arrived here
and saw the sun oh my gosh like the
warmth of the sun beating down on me
really realized how much I need the
Sun so we’re going to step inside look
at the kitchen I’m going to give you a
quick tour and then I also want to talk
you through just how it’s going to be um
furnished some of the textiles I’m
looking at I want you guys to be able
and I well really I want you to help me
decide what fabric I should use for the
curtains and what fabric I should use
for a chair that I’m going to be
reupholstering and what fabric bricks
maybe for some of the cushions on the
sofa that’s going to go down there
that’s right there’s going to be a sofa
in the kitchen so this is just the
beginning this is like part one but it’s
part one and very exciting so come on in
[Music]
one of the things I absolutely love to
do when I’m here at my little Italian
house is come up onto my Terrace and
just enjoy the view and take a break
from the renovation that’s happening
down in the kitchen and I get to
practice my Italian because I use Babel
one of the top language learning apps in
the entire world and because of Babel I
am now at a B to intermediate level for
me Babel Has Been instrumental in my
Italian language journey and the lessons
on Babel are designed by real language
teachers for me it’s not just about
though learning the language of the
country that I’m in right now Italy
because I have a little Italian house
it’s about having a project and for me
personally projects keep you young I
love working my brain by learning a new
language but also I enjoy heading down
to the Piaza and ordering all my food
and drink in Italian and speaking to the
locals in Italian and being able to have
conversations with the builders about
the
renovation okay okay so if you’re
looking to travel to a foreign country
this summer because Summer travel is
coming up do check out Babel it’s one of
the best things I have ever done is
learning a new language whether it’s
Italy or another foreign country Babel
offers so many different languages that
you can learn and I think also for me
personally it has boosted my confidence
and probably one of the best things I’ve
ever done and I’m not going to stop at
Italian I’m actually going to start to
learn different languages for the rest
of my life because of how much fun I’ve
had learning Italian so if you’re

promise you it’s one of the best things
I’ve ever done and I’m going to continue
to learn languages for the rest of my
[Music]
life so I’m going to start in this
corner and there used to be exposed
Stone here and we not that much but we
ended up covering up that exposed it
almost look like a boot bizarrely this
is where the emergency lighting is and
we’re just going to put a better uh case
around it to make it sort of become
flush with the wool uh many of you again
have asked what exposed Stone have I
kept and as a reminder even though
there’s bits up there that is one bit of
exposed stone that I’ve step I’ve cutt
and also above the door frame as
well right so looks like they’ve been
looking at my tiles so this is uh this
is the blue um lovely pattern here that
will be across um here I think we’ve got
two up here fantastic so wow it’s going
to look great anyway moving on holy cow
so the designs um were perfect and
absolutely meticulous so I just want to
say huge thank you to Malcolm it has
made this so much easier while I’ve been
away uh this is where the new appliances
the will be the marble sink that I found
at Deborah and PG’s so beautiful and all
these the tiles if you remember they
were taken down
individually by well uh everybody who
was here working on this but when we got
to the boiler we decided that now is the
time to put in a new boiler the one that
was here before was actually quite beia
very old and so this this new boiler is
uh is is working isn’t it
Luke I had a supremely warm shower this
morning so I can confirm that the boiler
is working beautifully yeah it’s so
we’re very pleased with that this will
be covered up so if you look at the
designs again you’ll be able to see that
this will be covered and then of course
this is for me the best Improvement
there was this kind of bizarre just
brick wall put up just to create I think
some shelving here that is gone and it
just opens up the space a little bit
more we’ve been able to then cover up uh
nicely the new piping that was put in
for the new Lu as I mentioned before
when I first came here I didn’t even
know that I had a second
bathroom uh lovely big window and we’ll
be putting a new radiator here uh and
I’m going to show you how I’m going to
ranges cuz I do have some of the
furniture you’re going to see that some
of the furniture has arrived right in
particular um a nice lovely
brass curtain pole that’s going to go up
there and this comes from
matin that’s come from matin oh my
goodness that has come from m a little a
little bit of matin is a little bit of M
made it way to tus well it was just in
the North Stable block I I’m about to
start cleaning it um in the North Stable
block and I thought well I might as well
use it here because we’re not going to
use it in the main house um so yeah a
little bit of mtin has come here they’ve
been able to really smooth out the
inside of this Niche and I can put some
lovely OB there don’t know something as
well here and then this was the big one
L you remember this big exposed bit on
this wall and again many of you were
saying oh keep it I think just the
pointing wasn’t done very well I found
it quite messy and cold and I I want to
have a warm kitchen yeah well and also
you can now hang things from there you
you have kept one very vital piece of
Building Construction which is this
brace up on the top of the wall because
we are living in a seismically active
area of Italy and um that holds the
building together in case there are any
tremors yes and then beyond the sofa
which I’ll be showing you soon there was
exposed uh Stone over there and we
covered that up so gosh now before I
start to show you colors and fabrics and
textiles and bits of that’s been brought
from England to here um I want to look
at this at the floor I think that is so
important this
floor I am in love with what do you
think Luke yeah I think it’s absolutely
fantastic it makes the whole difference
particularly compared to what there was
before and it looks like terra cotta but
it isn’t no it’s porcelain but it’s it’s
looking like sort of the vecio old
terracotta if you like but we I decided
to go for this a it was a lot less
expensive than getting the sort of
original CTO but also if you spill
something it’s much easier it’s just
much easier to clean these
floors and yeah so if you’re wondering
about paint we have to you can see over
here that this was recently um done and
it is still a bit wet and it needs to
dry so there was some damp over there uh
this still needs to dry like it has
dried over there and once that’s dry
then they will start to paint and really
the paint color is just the soft gray
that’s in the sitting room now that I’ll
bring into this room but what we are
doing which I think is quite clever is
we’re going to create a fto uhto batis
scopa so a Fint batis scopa which is a
fake um skirting board and we’re going
to move come up about 15 cm and then it
the color that we’re using is the color
that’s along the corridor on the first
floor so a little bit darker gray to
contrast with the soft gray when when
you say fake you just mean that it’s
going to be painted painted rather than
using timber timber so it’s like a
trompo it’s a it tricks your eye there
you go and look I can see some things
that have come all the way from the UK
for example these um two sort of bamboo
I like tabl so we’ll put this and then
we’re going we’re going to put um uh I
have an idea around a light that we’re
going to be using you know those lovely
Green Glass sort of wine containers
we’re going to I’m going to make into
two lights and put on top of here this
this um this we won at our favorite
local auction house in in London called
lot road now you’re wondering about this
chair everybody I know so I found this
at another auction house and dors it for
50b 50 lb 50 lb and it’s a lovely chair
but I’m learning how to reupholster and
and I’m going to be taking this off very
very carefully so you can see where it’s
been glued here taking this off cuz
there is Timber under there’s wood
underneath here heaven knows what you’re
going to find under there I hope I hope
it’s rather wonderful look at this I can
already see you are you going to
reupholster this yourself yeah wow look
at how beautiful so you can take it up
here look look look Luke I can take that
off cuz that was clearly been mended
yeah and you can see
I mean it I mean it’s been properly you
know look at these Lovely Nails but I
can’t save the fabric everybody so but I
am going to so I’m going to show you
some Fabrics as well gosh this is going
to look great actually I’m going to take
this whole thing off so stay tuned cuz
you’re going to watch me take um this
off yeah so right gosh there’s a lot to
do a lot to
do better crack on better crack on
from the floor to here okay and from the
floor
mhm to the end of the um
fiture okay from here to the floor and
from here to the floor okay
un massio okay
okay all right everybody as I said I’m
going to uh take the fabric off of this
chair again I found this chair at an
auction house in England for 50 so I
couldn’t pass it up I tried to find most
of my uh upcycled treasures at flea
markets around Italy uh many of you know
know my favorite is il Piccolo sco with
Deborah and PG in fact they’re going to
be bringing a uh cupboard here that will
go up against that wool there so stay
tuned because they’re bringing it today
actually so bringing it today so I’m
going to take this sort of pink rose
it’s actually quite pretty uh fabric off
but it’s not salvageable so I’m going to
take this off but it’s I mean I might
try to reuse the um piping for something
else I’m not sure who knows but I do try
to uh keep what I can but I have brought
over lots of fabric samples and I’d love
you guys to help me figure out what um
uh what is your favorite for this chair
but also the window behind you I’ll be
putting curtains up and having those
made and they will go on this wonderful
brass pole that I brought from maton as
I said it’s got lovely Pats and it needs
a little bit of a clean but the Pat is
great so I’d love you guys to help me
decide what you think uh is the best
choice for the curtains and for this
upholstered chair
[Music]
okay they’re coming in everybody this is
what I got from Deborah and peaches and
it’s going to go there but I just need
to paint this wool so
today no no
okay okay
[Music]
[Music]
Queen
[Music]
see
see okay
[Music]
you know
that original
incred it’s beautiful
[Music]
speee
[Music]
[Music]
all right you
guys just getting coffee right now and
then I’m going to talk you through this
but wow it is it’s a it’s beautiful what
Deborah has done to this piece that I
found when I was last there with Nikki
Positano um and we found this together
and I I think she’s going to be so
excited as well so I’m definitely going
to send her a picture as well to see
what she thinks and then I’ll explain
this in a
[Music]
second heading in from outside I thought
it was going to be a 30-minute job
everybody it was like 3 hours a few
wounds uh in the process of taking out
the nails in order to reupholster the
chair there’s that and that but it was
well worth it everybody I’m about to
show you the chair it’ss over there
however in the middle of uh removing
those beautiful nails uh PG arrived
because this is the cupboard that I had
um Deborah restore and it’s just
beautiful she’s done such a great job
and I love it love it love it and if you
saw my last video I found this when I
was with Nikki Positano and we went to
Il picoo just in sarana and one of the
things I wanted to keep was the MTO
which is the lace right here and she’s
kept it there but restored all of the
shelves and put in new lovely paper uh
in the back so I have haven’t been able
so you’re going to see this in all of
its Glory with plates stacked plates um
I can put napkins Linens in there and
where it’s
going is it is going to go up against
that wall there so you can see it’s
going to go a perfect
place right there and I think it’s going
to be fantastic now let’s swing it
around because this this is the chair
everybody and what I discovered which I
think is just so
extraordinary hold on to your horses no
pun intended because this is horse hair
this is how they used to do it the
quality the craftsmanship and yes I’m
going to keep this I’m not going to use
a synthetic filling this is
absolutely stunning beautiful and again
they used to use synthetic this is just
um a lovely lovely natural filler
here and I am beyond excited so you can
see underneath there there’s even more
of that filler and it’s I mean it’s
properly done everybody properly done
good old horse hair underneath here
so that’s this is the top that’s going
to go here and then you can see it’s
around the side as well so I can take
this one out you can see it’s just
properly been uh you know it’s beautiful
craftsmanship here now I did take out
one bit on top here remember it was
reupholstered all the way
across because I wanted to see what
shape the wood was in and of course I
could easily sand this down if I wanted
to and I still might do that I’m not
sure everybody I’d have to then remove
that but I have a feeling I’m going to
go over it I think it’s probably better
to kind of put it back the way it was
but with different fabric isn’t it just
a stunner so if you again watched um
some of my previous videos on the
kitchen you would have seen Malcolm’s
designs and we have this Vision where we
have a little table and the chair that
I’m going to reupholster that you guys
are going to help me pick out the fabric
for and I found this winner
um uh again at a flea market how
brilliant is this
proper uh it’s got a little bit of
bamboo and it’s a lovely proper um
wicker chair as I would say and it it’s
got a little bit of green of course I’m
going to have uh ver for the kitchen
cupboards and I just thought look at it
the quality of it by the way I FYI I
want to let you know that this I found
this and it’s uh it was dated to the
1890s that’s right
1890s so this is
130ish years old and look at again it’s
craftsmanship the quality is so high and
this table again I found as well at uh a
flea market in um London actually just
outside London and then I brought this
here but I I think that this is just
Exquisite and lovely and on top there is
glass or I might have marble made but
you can imagine sitting here having your
cup morning cup of coffee opening up the
windows having that view without the
Lorry right there that’s The Neighbor
Next
Door and then some curtains on top so
I’m again G to ask you guys once I after
I go have ativo to help me figure out um
what fabric I should use I’ve got lots
of samples but I’m going to do that
tomorrow and then lastly look at it so
exciting so if you can kind of Envision
it right um how it’s going to look like
lastly I found this at PG and Deborah’s
as well and it’s you know an old sort of
uh cheese cupboard where you would and I
have another one uh behind me that’s
going to go up against this wall so but
I just like liked this so much that I
thought I had to I had to get that I
don’t know where it’s going to go it
does look good right there so now I’ve
got a
problem anyway they’re starting to do
some more building work there so I’m
going to say over and out everybody see
you tomorrow
[Music]
morning okay I’m not sure where I’m
going but I did find it so it’s e
Del chanelli
cloudia so hope maybe it’s in here hope

long time okay look at this everybody
this is a Vaso €6 you can put a plant in

hand fatano I
mean what it’s quite
pretty I mean not quite I mean maybe
6 might have to get it okay everybody
now look at this
8 painted by hand I quite like it just a
good
dish y Cham
I don’t know possibly I mean how do I
decide there’s so many deals
here
like everything’s basically between 5
and 10 the other thing I really liked
for possibly look at this
12
what it’s beautiful okay I probably
won’t get this but this is a wall table
if you like so it can be attached to the
wall and these are the colors of the
bedroom well my bedroom Luke’s bedroom
in fif sort of that lovely
rose and green and bit of gold oh my
gosh has a drawer it’s so perfect it’s
€45 but then I’m like where is it going
to go I don’t think it can go
anywhere I love it look it it’s
[Music]
Exquisite I’m going to go through it all
everybody just just wrapped in a bit of
paper but if I could if I could just go
antiquing for the rest of my life I
think I’d be very happy so I really
really liked this
bamboo bit of Rattan um magazine rack
and that can go in the sitting room in
Italy and then this I mean how fantastic
is this lovely old wine bottle with its
beautiful um retan casing here I mean
fantastic right that’s going to go on
top of one of the cupboards in the
kitchen then I’m always looking just for
books that I think are pretty the covers
are pretty um just to I don’t know put
them somewhere but this has six stories
inside of it so it’s a selection of
treasure stories so that and that and
then okay I did get the two cash po
which you’ve already seen made by hand
but then I found this and this is a she
told me Veo very old I think it’s
beautiful and again it can go on top of
uh one of the cupboards in the kitchen I
love it super heavy you can see it’s
just completely wellmade and then hold
Luke texted me back and said yes get
this I mean he he does like the sea and
it’s lovely it’s got a couple of fish
and a clam there and pretty right needs
to be cleaned off and then this one I
found at the very end everybody and it
can it can be hung and I think it’s just
and she said this was the this is the
most expensive I paid for anything this
was €20 by the way in total all of this
two Cas po a pitcher two plates a wine
bottle um book and a magazine rack 90
year old but this is beautiful it’s ello
so it’s a bird and initials on the back
and you can hang it and it’s the right
colors for the kitchen I mean it’s got a
bit of yellow but that’s fine it’s got
the blue it’s got the green and I think
it’s really pretty really like that so
yeah under fizo we go back
[Music]
okay everybody it’s very exciting
because we were at the market today and
I was deciding what to put in this
flower pot and also to put in this one
as well because I’m not here that often
to have flowering plants to be able to
water them so I decided that putting in
herbs would be the right thing to do
they’re a little bit heartier fingers
crossed are going to last I don’t think
they require as much water so I’ve got
Ros Marino so Rosemary I think I’m going
to put the Rosemary in that one by
itself and then I have Salvia which is
Sage smells amazing then I have lemon
thyme which is um Timo alumon right here
it’s already starting to flower lovely
and then we’ve got um margaron which is
M
majorana had to remember that in Italian
and then this one’s the easiest one it’s
oregano and oregano in Italian so I’m
going to put four in this one and then
I’ll put the Ros Marino in that single
one but my olive trees so far are a huge
success even though that one’s toppling
over here I’ll get to that in a second
but they have start all four of them
have started um
new shoots at the bottom which is really
really exciting for me at first when I
saw this I thought no no no they must
just be weeds but no they’re attached to
the roots and they’re coming up which is
wonderful now the
bamboo is starting to obviously age and
in particular this one cracked off so
while we were at the beach earlier I
found there was just lots of bamboo all
over the beach I found four good siiz
replacements so I’m going to going to
and because they’re growing as well they
need a little bit more I think stability
so I’m going to tie those up plant my
herbs and fingers crossed the next time
I come back they’ll still be
here fingers cross but then after I
finish this because the sun has is about
to set not yet after I finish this I’m
going to light my Candles there and sit
and enjoy the bells and enjoy the
view from here from my Terrace
[Music]
you all are going to help me decide what
curtains to hang over this beautiful
kitchen window I’ve been uming and awing
about it but of course you’ve got this
fantastic view out to the hills and the
wonderful Piaza San roko here with all
my wonderful neighbors as well but I
definitely want to put curtains up I
brought that brass curtain Pole luk from
Matton what I’ve done is I’ve collected
some samples and also I have to give a
huge shout out to Malcolm because he’s
come up with this color scheme and we
did look at some samples and I ordered
some more because I couldn’t really
decide so I want you all to um
remember that well you haven’t seen this
yet but this is the cover to the sofa
that’s going to go in this kitchen cuz
the kitchen’s quite big so we’ve got
this to play
with and this is the color not this
bright green but this sage green are the
color of the kitchen cabinet this is the
wool so you can see that’s the ceiling
you can see it’s a
nice again it’s got a little a gray it’s
a little sort of Bluey gray it’s a it’s
a Bluey gray blue gray yeah I guess it’s
a cool gray so it’s quite a cool gray so
I think
um if I just go back to that green what
I’d really like to do what I’m I’m going
to tell you my favorite and then I’m
going to have everybody vote down below
so there’s going to be a poll number one
2
3
4 5 there’s a lot of choice 6 7 8 9 10
now I’m inclined not to to go with any
of the
greens okay and if I put the green up so
I’m but let me know down below but I
just what do you think Luke for the
curtains yeah I think I agree yeah but I
quite like the one up at the end here
number one yeah because that’s my
favorite too yeah because it combines a
little bit of green or at least there’s
a little there it is it’s the same goes
to that line so it alternates I think I
like the wider stripes on that one yeah
this was my second choice I put it in
order of mine but I think I mean it is
again not it’s sort of a different blue
it’s much more of a bit of a teal blue
but I think too much yeah I agree this I
think is going to get dirty yep agreed
yep quite like this one yep that was my
another one of my yeah so that one’s
nice too yeah and you can see it’s the
same stripe color that comes through
this as well okay okay then we have
these
yeah yeah which you know you couldn’t go
wrong with those that’s the green that’s
that’s almost the exact same color which
I don’t want to do but any anyway vote
everybody but you see my my second
choice would be the one right at the end
this it would it would be to go
yeah actually have a bit of contrast I
agree with the
contrast so it’s a hard choice but here
hold on one
more let’s put this up I
think this I think this
Luke okay what do you anyway that
everybody is I would love you to decide
so hopefully we’ve got all the numbers
here and you can help me choose but
obviously that’s the one that we are
thinking
of and then
lastly I thought I would just share this
with you everybody this is not a boat
but that chair that I just uh well took
off all of the old uh fabric it’s a
lovely Edwardian chair I’m going to sand
it down so I’m going to sand the wood
down and give it back its natural color
and then I’m going to hand block on some
linen some upcycle linen myself and I
thought
Luke obviously I’m going to be doing the
hand block myself so I’m not picking out
a fabric per se but these are just to
give everybody just some good ideas this
is the one just so I have some ideas
when I go in at hand block myself but
then you could go with the blue
there something like that I think that’s
a bit too much that one looks a little
bit like a pull print this this one yeah
okay maybe a dog at least not yet and
then there’s this one what about that
one yeah that’s very elegant so I could
do that but in the in the green yeah do
you see and then that Luke is your
contrasting colors so you’ve got that
and
that looks like your mind is made up and
well and that look at that everybody or
is that 2p
green let us know okay let us know
anyway it’s very very exciting and and
you will follow along as I reholster um
a chair for the first time ever but
that’s going to take some time but I am
excited and the kitchen it’s getting
[Music]
there little extra for the end of the
video and I just thought it’d be nice to
put little cafe curtains here so I found
this lovely piece of fabric at an online
V vintage um shop and just having four
of these and it’s perfect so it doesn’t
of course obscure any of the view but it
does give you a little bit of privacy
here when you’re sitting at your table
having your cup of coffee and you can
still open up the door so it would just
be little cafe curtains there second
pole there third pole there fourth pole
there what do you think Luke I think
it’s great and it means we don’t have to
look at our car
