  1. I love it.. that you are down to earth and real with decorating. Guess what? The PANTONE color of the year is MOCHA. Like you showed. Do it. It really warms everything up and also is easily matchable. The rich color not the wimpy beige! Love it.

  2. I believe the green is a great color. Just embrace it and paint the walls, windows and shelf with the green you were using

  3. Everything’s lovely Nicki- and Carlo and doggies. Love your natural decor. May you all have a most Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄🎁 Sending Love and Blessings. ❤️

  4. Delightful video thank you both. Full of interesting developments in such a wonderful place, both indoors and out. What an industrious couple you are! So inspiring! I love your Christmas decorations. I suspect rabbit is enjoying them too. They’re perfect! 🧡🧡🧡so good to see beautiful daughter with you too!

  5. Wow, the morning light and the view are just beautiful! I love bold colours, I think it would look fantastic also on the shelves section. I am sure you'll find the right colours 🙂Happy Chistmas.

  6. Totally for the idea of embracing the darkness! What about a deep plummy brown? You could easily add seasonal colour accents in soft furnishings, I am sure! This Capability green is truly fantastic and is now figuring on my beloved greens list! Your kitchen decorations are stunning and for sure, you have ever ready to be proud of them! Good luck with your painting! 🌲

  7. Well done Carlo for the terrace clean up, and well done Nicki for the holiday décor. Love it.
    I also think that darker colors for the TV room are a good direction. Especially if you paint the shelves, pannels and wall in the same color

  8. Hola Nicki. We have a small snug in our house which is already quite dark. When we first moved in to this house it was a quick fix to paint everything white. After getting all renovations out of the way started to want it cosy, so decided on a sage green for the snug. It's dark, but love it & so cosy. I think the brown would be perfect especially with your settee being a neutral colour. Can't wait to see what you decide. Merry Xmas & love from Spain ❤️🌲❤️🌲♥️

  9. Did anyone else see the UFO captured in Nicki's channel for Aperitivo 50 "More old photos…" video? It's right at timestamp 6:13 min into the video and Nicki is pointing at it in the photo. 🛸🙂

  10. Im just like you! lots of pets and kids with shoes. while a chic home is lovely- its not my reality – and color makes my home cozy!

  11. Nice sofa, it won't stay beige for long with dogs and shoes on it haha. Just an idea maybe next time you go to the U.K via car you can collect the 'extra piece' for the sofa? Carlo is like a one-man forest machine! Beautiful season decorations. The colour combo you'd shown us all on the mobile was really nice! I'm working out how to use that combo myself, thanks!

  12. We just viewed your Apertivo 50 video – but YouTube would not allow me to make comments. Soooo, I'll tell you here that we enjoyed more of your family pics! Also, can I say that I really loved the wallpaper in your final scene. Yep, loved the wallpaper! Enjoy your "special" guest. Merry Christmas!

  13. Your home is coming along beautifully. I love your casual style, especially color! I too, love using color for design. My suggestion for the TV room is to paint the walls the same color as the terra cotta tile, would make very cozy. Option 2 would be to bring the Bordeaux (from your dining area) color for the walls, trim, etc in the TV room. Good Luck!!

  14. Ciao e tutti, buon Natale e felice anno nuovo e tu e tua famiglia, I watch every one of your videos and so s excited you started your other channel. Ps my Italian is like Carlos English

  15. Love the decorations you have done, very artistic, Carlo is doing a great job in the woods too. Well done both of you. I did a mauve colour in our lounge on two walls and had that for a few years but then wanted it lighter so did a pale lilac which I am preferring. The nice thing about paint is you can change it easily if you want to 😊

  16. Love the transformation in the old kitchen! I would entertain that golden colour you and Skye were after for the t.v room shelves in place of the Capability colour. Leave the walls light and neutral…accessorize the sofa and room with jewel tones, i.e emerald, ruby, amethyst, gold….embracing the dark, but not overwhelmingly so. Love the Christmas deco you created…wonderful! Salut et joyeux Noel🎄 du Canada, to you, Carlo, Skye, the pups and your extended family. Thankyou for allowing us to tag along on your wonderful adventures. 🎄🥂🍊🌟🥳🇨🇦✨

  17. Your hand made decorations look like a professional decorator created them. Excellent job!

  18. ❤wow love love the Christmas decorations!!! Be careful though you’ve got foliage over the fireplace and foliage over the stove – you’re going to have to be super careful it doesn’t catch fire. Beautiful though!!!

  19. Your new place looks gorgeous. Great job! Watching your step we don't want to see you hurt Nikki ❤

  20. 2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Italy 🇮🇹 it's been ages since my last view Nicki Carlo Skye Holly and Indie.
    So now all your the decision making out and about the house always looks THE BEST, good taste goes
    along way. Neat one.😊❤😊❤😊

  21. I have been thinking about your color dilemma in the tv room. I say don't do something new that you are not used to. You will not be happy with it if it is not natural for you. Embrace your bright cheerful colors. Merry Christmas!
