When you think of all the different families each item has come from, and the previous roles they played for who knows how long, you truly feel that your house is the result of all those other lives and families who have passed their things on to you! And it gives you such a cozy family feeling that you have given them new life!

@terryheatwole6153 Год назад

Isn’t it so satisfying to surround yourself with beautiful things you personally selected! No matter the cost, small or large.

@maryellencook9528 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful reno, Julie! I prefer antiques over modern furniture.

@queens6583 Год назад

It's all so beautiful and well curated. You've put your heart and soul into your little Italian home. Bravo!

@IVant2BAlone 4 месяца назад

Beautifully done. What I like is that it is warm and inviting as opposed to so many homes that seem cold and austere. Love the tub!

@terrecisco2467 Год назад

I remember when you started this redo. WOW! What a difference. Well done you.

@carylgrundy7814 Год назад

You’ve done a great job in finding and restoring older items. Good for you!

@michellewilliams8728 Год назад

You are awesome and so real and down to earth. I love all your videos and your appreciation of history in the homes of England. You just moved into the English aristocracy and embraced it and dove into the life in such a beautiful way. honestly I cannot tell you how inspirational you are. You are amazing!

@AmericanViscountess Год назад

Wow, thank you!

@alexandra2jerry Год назад

What a splendid job you have done and as it was done over a couple of years the cash outlay wouldn’t be felt so painfully in one’s pocket. I’m in the process of building a slightly bigger home with a large sunroom which I’m furnishing entirely with chairs and a rattan love seat purchased either in antique shops, or Etsy. I am having them reupholstered but they’ll be exquisite, to my taste and bring us happiness which is what living the life is all about. Like you, I’ve had prints framed professionally to add that finishing touch and my collection of porcelain and family pictures spells Home. Congratulations on an incredible job well done!

@sandrahohmann1898 Год назад

Congratulations on your little Italian house. Just goes to show alot of hard work and elbow grease pays off. Your house is immaculately decorated and for me what makes it special is that you upcycled so many items. As well, you are lucky to have such a talented son in Nestor. He did an amazing job editing this video. Cheers from Australia.

Thank you!

@debrabonavisa1366 Год назад

You did a great job decorating this place on a budget!

@jenjem5810 Год назад

Julie. Much love and respect for you. The fact that you. Always honor the paat, and those who walked before you..... Please reconsider the caption. You did things in a very creative and affordable way. And anyone that sold you something aided you in the process. Therefore the term "dirt cheap" Is not likely the way you want to be portrayed. any merchants locally sold you very beautiful items,and it would be best to say what amazing and stunning affordable treasures you found along the way. The dancing dollar signs were edited out as well would you think was a good idea.

@ericacole7102 Год назад

I am glad you have your own little home to decorate with your own taste.

@pennywilliams2429 Год назад

Agreed, Julie! There’s so much on this planet to re-use. FANTASTIC job!! Looks amazing.🎉

@cristinaflores2411 Год назад

As a European I must say that all these items were extremely expensive. Many sellers of second-hand items take advantage of the fact that people are foreigners and inflate sales. When you buy second-hand parts try to go with someone from the zone, usually they will help you buy for the real value of the pieces.

@annansel2638 Год назад

So simple but elegant...not over the top with costs but quality items found or classic items given a new life...love the flow of decor...... bathroom floor is very beautiful and practical...thank you and you go girl... congratulations and well done

@MsAmy-cp3fu Год назад

Julie you are living my dream. Been watching RU-vid’s on moving to Italy buying a home so grateful I fell upon your channel. Truly love your down to earth personality and pleasures you find everyday

@luisaleonardi666 Год назад

Your energy and extremely good taste were a win for the entire series of your finds. So lovely to share, Julie, thanks❤

@kimowens16 Год назад

Everything looks fabulous! Love the rusty on the base of the tub. The cost of the lights by the mirror in the bathroom . . . that's amazing! You did a great job.

@nannetteprata2715 Год назад

Lovely! Every feature. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your lives.

@margaretcaldarone1005 Год назад

So Glad you changed the bathroom color. I knew it was too stimilating. The color is Perfect. BRAVO.

@janblake2230 3 месяца назад

I just love, love that you left the outside of the tub “as is”. It gives it so much character and speaks to all the ones who have used it through the decades if not longer. I like to leave vintage things, including furniture exactly as found unless unreasonable. I like scratches and all. You can get lost in the imagery of how was that dent made and by whom. Sanding and painting just buries fingerprints from generations past. This is only my personal quirk, if you will.

@StephanieJarman Год назад

Every time I hear a babble ad, I think about Douglas Adams and the babble fish 🐟 Dirk Gently uses!

@paulaadams1765 Год назад

Stunning, Julie! I have the same philosophy about buying vintage/antiques. It is my way of recycling without tearing down a tree for a piece of furniture. For instance, I bought an antique oak round table for my dining room and searched high and low for four oak chairs. I even ventured two counties over and finally, two years later I found them at a local antique store. I refused to buy anything new when it came to my side oak table and I also have an antique oak sleigh bed. And what fun it is to bumble around flea and antique markets! Thank you for sharing your finds and your well thought out plans on how to furnish your fabulous Italian getaway. ❤️

@biggertom1234 11 месяцев назад

You are incredible Julie what can be said .....beautifully worked and thoughtfully with heart and love present to us in your generous share. So gifted and enthusiastic in every thing you do ...works of love and care for all things old with history and real life behind them. Tutti bellissima. Mille grazie ❤

@sandyedens9222 Год назад

So lovely, every room is calm, light, open and delightfully warm. Thank you for sharing this, Julie.

Hello, I have been following your programming for a while enjoying the historic tours of the manor homes. I love your showing the process of renovation from start to finish such as finding the repurposed furnishings in thrift markets and showing how you put it all together. It has given me many ideas on how to transform a room on a budget. Given there are so many choices and ways to decorate, I would love to see you discuss how you decide on particular choices for renovation, furnishings, designs, (home in Italy and Mapperton ), and put the rooms together, would be very interesting to learn.

@graceadamarie Год назад

You have done such an incredible job and should be SO proud of this beautiful work!

@claudiamann7111 Год назад

Fabulous antique finds. Everything looks fantastic. The amount of money saved by upcycling is incredible. Thanks so much for sharing.

@gingersutton8240 3 месяца назад

The Marano mirrors are to die for and that wonderful master bedroom bed. How yummy and the good price is she got everything for even though she got things freshened up and repainted. Such a bargain and such a good eye..

@lovelyshirl Год назад

Your Little Italian House looks beautiful. I'm enthralled ❤❤❤ You've got some fabulous pieces in there!

@sharronandrews7675 Год назад

Such a wonderful job on finishing things off! Love the chairs in the main bedroom, such a wonderful shape. All of the art looks beautiful in all rooms and the mirrors everywhere are perfect. We’ve been with you from the beginning and couldn’t be prouder of what you’ve done!

@pieraonofri1606 Год назад

My grandfather was a carpenter and he used to make them from the 1920’s thru to the 1950’s and I still found some of them when I moved back here in the ‘80’s!!

@LightMovies Год назад

Wow, the bathtub is fantastic. It's one of those things you can only see in western movies.

@NH-gv2sq Год назад

You have given the items a new home!! Found your yoga videos , totally changed my fitness routine while traveling through perimenopause. Thank you.

@SusanHarbourt Год назад

This is so beautiful and inspiring. I wish the flea markets near me had such treasures. Sadly many American flea markets have devolved and the quality has become so low where they are just full of the trash no one wanted to buy at the yard sale. Lots of plastic and worn out stuff that truly belong in a dumpster.

@tammyr2966 4 месяца назад

Absolutely fantastic! Three rooms and a hallway for those prices is amazing! I have found many great deals in my life, but my favorite was a beautiful Waterford Crystal Bowl in perfect condition that I got at a thrift store for $1.50!

@Carlaskirt Год назад

Beautiful!! Well done! ❤️😊

@gloriasaliba3395 3 месяца назад

What fabulous history you have in those restored items - you have a fabulous eye and taste

@jj-if6it Год назад

Maybe next time some vintage tiles would be great for the shower, so it matches the rest of the vintage bathroom look

@seachange17 Год назад

So well done, so authentically charming. Love the light fixtures in the bathroom. The glass are called globes. They are fabulous. The whole thing - six euro each! Way to go! Best wishes from Long Grove Illinois.

@pennylee2803 Год назад

You are truly a girl from Illinois. We love to share our bargains. I was born and raised in Chicago. I now reside in Versailles Kentucky.

@VictoriasFolly 4 месяца назад

You could have had our king size wrought iron bedstead that looks very like that in prime condition for £25 on Facebook marketplace UK. We now live in southern Somerset, about 16 mins from Mapperton. But like you, I love shopping the flea markets. Brilliant job on the Italian renovation.

@BarbaraChapmanFrenchEthereal Год назад

Your Italian home is turning out so beautifully!, Julie! Love that bathtub!!! Thank you for taking us around your home and sharing what each piece cost. Funny, last summer while my daughter and I were in France I was hoping to get to a flea market but we missed any in Paris by a week or so. Maybe next time! Enjoy your lovely home there and thank you to your son for his videography skills. :)

@maricogan2903 Год назад

Everything looks really lovely and welcoming. Your two tone walls are very attractive. I will borrow this for my bedroom. Thank you!

@andreaschmall5560 Год назад

Love the authenticity of the furniture and using and upcycling what already exists but I would have done something other than that half green or rose pink walls....maybe some textured paint or stencils on the walls but that is just my opinion. Would love to have a property like that to play with.

@christine1373 Год назад

I think you did a great job finding interesting pieces at bargain prices. love finding unique and used items because they have a history. My home is 98% second hand including dish and glass wares. My best find so far was 4 years ago when I found someone putting a 6 piece set of antique wicker furniture on the curb for trash pickup!!! He was hesitant to hold it for because I was heading out of town for the day and he wanted to make sure it was gone! I convinced him to hold it for me and when I got back a friend and I went and picked up the set!! He was a young guy and had no idea what he had and that it certainly wouldn’t have lasted long on the curb!! I’m excited about the kitchen!

@bernadettecrawford3656 Год назад

Well done i have followed you and your beautiful family, your so down to earth and practical. I love you enthusiastic talks. Great taste. Best wishes from Australia. I purchased a derelict house in UK a Victorian one and worked on it and brought it back to life retaining many original features plus renewing wireing, plumbing, windows and roof. Selling 14yrs later enabled me to be here with my family. 😊

I have greatly enjoyed this video and how you’ve taken us thru your ‘finds’ and integrated them so successfully and beautifully into your charming Tuscan home. Congratulations! I look forward to more. What I also want to say is what a superb job of filming and editing your son Nestor has done putting this episode together - a big round of thanks and congratulations goes to him too. I’m sure we’ll see more contributions from him in the future - very professional and light of touch. A Joy to watch, especially too that little lingering on items after Julie had departed the frame. 🤗

@sarahg6902 Год назад

You have such exquisite taste - very inspiring. None of it is over done - so appropriate. I hear they are selling some remote Italian village houses just for a euro so they can be renovated. I'm sure anyone buying one of those would appreciate your tips!!

@heidiraia9902 Год назад

I love the mirrors and sconces! So fun to watch the whole renovation. Wondering what you’ll tackle next. Can’t wait

@bettecannavino4047 Год назад

Everything needs to have a story! 🌿💙 Wonderful finds I love, love, love, your recycling finds! All seems to fit perfectly, and you really have exquisite taste with your elegant touches! I found an old, green, punched tin table, shaped like a flower, on the curb, being thrown out. Rescued it, my favorite find yet! Thanks for the share, enjoyed it immensely, Julie! 🌿🩷

@beedubtee Год назад

Hey, looking great. Impressed with how well everything has come together and what you’ve done on a budget. One tiny recommendation (just a personal pet peeve) - swap out the ugly light bulbs you have in the fixtures that have exposed bulbs. Your primary bedroom and bathroom sconces stood out. Take a look around for some nicer looking vintage style LED’s. There are all sorts out now and it’s a very cheap tweak. Everything else looks so polished and elegant, hate to ruin that with a cheap looking bulb. 🤙🥰
