RENOVATING A RUIN: ITALIAN SUMMER PESTO & HOMEMADE TROFIE PASTA, RENOVATION, VINTAGE SHOPPING (Ep25) 

The red tiles are so much warmer and relaxing, with the hexagonal terracotta floor and stone walls saranno bellissime 👌👌

Kylie I had originally picked on Instagram the blue tile however.... after seeing the soft pink/crimson against the terracotta and the stone in the bathroom i think it looks so much softer and warmer against the other tones in the bathroom. Also thank you so much for taking the time to edit the subtitles, I'm learning Italian and really love listening to you talk while reading the subtitles to help me as I learn.

As much as I love blue, I think the crimson looks beautiful with the stone and more romantic. Good luck! 🙂

Thank you for the many hours you spend making these beautiful videos!! Truly works of art.

The rose colour for sure 👌 The pesto looks amazing and I agree totally your wife is absolutely beautiful 😍 🥰

I just saw your story about editing all night. I am so amazed by all the effort you put into these videos, thank you for all your hard work! I enjoy every mini of your videos 💕🌸

Both tiles are beautiful, but, I think the red looked more ‘at home’ with the stone and terracotta. Either way, your bathroom will look gorgeous. 3 months until baby arrives! Wow, so exciting!!

I love all of the blue green spectrum for things but I’m actually drawn to the crimson tile, I also LOVE the sink you chose. 💖 hexagonal tiles for the bathroom 💖

Hi Kylie were in the business of videography and photography here in Toronto Canada .. and know how much it takes to put together what you do …we love your filming the music is spot on and your editing is beautiful…congratulations to you and Guido on your pregnancy your a beautiful couple God Bless you in all you do ❤️

Hi Kylie, I think I prefer the faded crimson because you've done white and blue before, something different and very complimentary with the floor tile. I would keep a simpler shape for the floor tiles since the walls will already have a strong pattern. Best of luck with your renovation and happy that your having a healthy pregnancy!

Another gorgeously crafted story from my favorite vlogger! I live in Honduras without A/C and keep frozen small hand towels in the freezer to put around my neck for a quick cool down on steamy days. Glad to see you're drinking lots of water. Hope you're taking naps as well. I vote for faded red.🤗❤

The red with brass would be beautiful! I think the hexagon shape would be best. Good luck with everything. Love to you both and your little "bean"

I love the warm rose color tile with the stone wall. I would have normally gone for the blue but the rose is so calming. I would pick the least busy floor tile so as not to distract from the stone and tile on the wall. The sink is beautiful. So glad you found someone to cement your floor. I love watching all your videos, they are so relaxing. Take care of yourself during Italy’s heat wave. 💕

The burnt red tiles would look fabulous Kylie and i think the hexagon tile shape add a bit of interest and an antique look. You are absolutely blooming make sure to look after yourself, plenty of rest and no stress xx

Thank you for always showing such love in all you do and your respect for nature and all the blessings we have ! Hope that you always remain as that ambassador and to be you !

The sink is so gorgeous! I think it would look dreamy with the blue tiles and I would use the red tile in another room.

Kylie Darlin, thank you for this gorgeous video❣️❣️. I so appreciate your attention to detail with a LOVELY romantic table setting. Italian linens are THE BEST and I’m addicted to collecting them. I especially liked how you combined the rattan placemats on the white linen and those lanterns!!! Sophia Loren said, “ Cultivating beauty is a form of respect for those we love”. You do that daily……Seeing those soft red tiles confirms my earlier choice. And I agree with some other comments about keeping the floor tiles simple and letting the hand-painted tiles & brass be the stars. 🌟✨💫

Oh crap, now that I’ve seen the bathroom tiles, I’m slowly changing my mind 🤔I voted blue, but the faded crimson red/beige/Burgundy looks so beautiful and warm. For the floor 🤔square is classic, but I’m a super fan of the hexagon, I’m sure any of the three will look good so you can’t go wrong, every or any choice is a win here.

beauriful, beauiful, beautiful, you as a woman and a mother to be, your journey, your stories, your house.... everything is so beautiful, Kylie, all the best wishe for you and your families

Kylie, I immensely enjoy your content. The countryside, the music, the renovations, your cooking, the videography … all works so beautifully with you kind voice. I couldn’t sleep last night so I binge watched your recipes. You made a comment in one of them about wondering if you were stating something about cooking that was too basic and may offend people. For me my distant friend (in spirit) I welcome even the most basic instructions. I never learned to cook. Was never taught. Now at 48 years of age I am learning and thoroughly enjoying it. I actually find it therapeutic. However, I recognize I do make mistakes the average cook would likely giggle at 😆 Anyway, thank you so very much for your content. So lovely 💕

Kylie buongiorno che piacere vederti in forma e che piacere sentirti parlare in Italiano. Sono italiana ma vivo in Francia nostalgia del paese ? Adoro L accento fiorentino e tutto quello che fai e fate è stupendo. Proverò la ricetta del pesto con le zucchine . Grazie per i tuoi video portati bene ciao 🥰🥰💕💕

I only started watching your videos when you where renovating the chicken coop, whether to put a television in or not. Now I'm addicted watching all your videos and feel part of the family. I love Italy myself, but you just simply put the cherry on top of the Italian cake. Vintage shopping in Italy, brilliant, and that pasta dish looked amazing. Plus I'm going to Italy in July in Lecce, so hope the weather is just as hot.

Wow, Kylie that was mouth-watering pesto and I hope you are managing to stay cool in the crazy temperatures. I had voted blue for the tiles, but now they have arrived the other colour definitely suits the terracotta floor better. I'm more for square or rectangular floor tiles. Love hearing you talking in Italian and a perfect start to my Saturday! Thank you and good luck with finding builders: very glad the floor is being sorted in the bathroom in the meantime!

Lovely as always, it's 6:30 AM here on the East Coast of USA. The tiles are lovely but the design makes me think they should be set in a diamond pattern, rather than a square. The direction of the fleur-de-lis (or what ever it is) is directional.I think if I sat in a tub looking at them I would want them pointing up- No? I am a huge fan of Blue, but it might be too blue & the crimson looks more in the earth tones. Grazie mille for your artist eye & sharing your beautiful corner of the world.

Reaching 260,00 is on the horizon! Thank you for your videos. I get emotional watching some videos them sometimes because beautiful moments are so fleeting & precious. My mother who was born in Italy is now 94...she cannot travel but your videos bring her back to the country of her heart. Regarding the tiles...in the video I actually liked the faded crimson ...more calming & matching the floor. Glad your projects are moving forward despite some setbacks...enjoy the process & all the best to you both.

This is the most beautiful & inspirational video you have ever done. Thanks to you for bringing 22minutes & 40 seconds of peace & joy to a world that seems to be turning upside down. Give Fagiolino a pat from all your grateful viewers!

I actually did like the blue one more because blue fits better with terracotta. But the red one looks really nice with the stone wall. It's not gonna be an easy descision. Wish you luck ❤🌹

I must agree, the RED tile has a warm feeling. Also the BRASS fixtures. I have them in my 1910 home in Sebastian Fl. Love Brass, heck brass,copper , bronze,all beautiful. Like copper pots in your kitchen.just beautiful. Kylie, i know its a lot of work, but feel free,to make your videos longer. I love seeing your reconstruction in Italy. And of course,your little BEAN. Lol

Oh oh Kylie- lm jumping ship on the tile colour. Seeing the contrast against the stone walls and flooring, l think the reddish/brown tile looks stunning. Beautifully handcrafted tiles 🥰 So enjoyed this episode in Italian- thank you for all the work involved adding subtitles. My goodness it looks so scorching. 🥵

Kylie what a beautiful episode! Thank you for working so hard on the editing, you are so dedicated and appreciated!! The crimson is rich and warm against the terracotta, feels like a Sicilia or rustic Toscana color!! "100 years of footsteps" such a creative and beautiful comment. Take care both of you. I have never tried the zucchini in the pesto, sounds good. Your videos are love and art! 💜🌿🌼

It’s so interesting that when you were showing the floor tiles, there was a blue rug and in another sample a chair with a blue seat cushion, both of which look lovely as the blue compliments the tile and vice versa. My pick is still blue, complimentary colours with the terracotta, it’s cool and serene. However, if you choose the warmer tone on tone look of the red tile, some blue glass bottles, blue throw rug, towels etc might be gorgeous too 😉. A veritable feast for the senses whichever you choose, just like your vlogs!

You're looking radiant dear Kylie and Guido too! I do agree that the pale Crimson tiles are more suited to the terracotta and natural stone. Hope you continue to keep well and a million thanks for sharing your life with us. Take care.xx

It's 9.25pm on Saturday in NZ and the timing is wonderful- I can enjoy this before settling down for the night. Thank you, Kylie.

I love the non pink one.... its a beautiful light red. Everyone has blue... go for the red!! Xx

That's a great recipe - you are truly something of a wonder in this world - I have never seen anyone much less a young person make EVERYTHING by hand including actual olive oil from their own olives, homemade pasta, vegetables and herbs grown in their own garden, it is truly miraculous in this world full of garbage poison food they are feeding everyone and plastic, thank God you live like this. God bless you and Guido on your new addition.

When I see your green lush garden it's set against a backdrop of terracotta colored dirt...very natural and pretty. So happy to see you looking so well.

This is such a rich episode and I imagine there was a lot of footage to go through, thank you for the late night editing Kylie, the result is great! It was posted just on time for me to enjoy it while having lunch; pasta with homemade Pesto and Proscuitto! It reminded me of my last trip to Italy. I went to Rome 10 days ago and indeed the heat wave was real ! You look stunning, I am glad you and the baby are feeling good and that you are both active now ;) Calcio storico what a fun pick into this florentin tradition! I remember reading about it last year while preparing my trip to Florence. Have a good week-end and see you next week with hopefully some more good news about the bathroom =) Quick note about the tiles, I was one of the few who selected the red tiles because it feels very rich and different from what you did in your other bathrooms renovations. I guess that the richness of the ground with the Terracotta floor will complement well the tiles and you will have a very warm and comforting color scheme which will be terracotta, red/pink/crimson, creme (stone from the double sink and probably the seals between the stones on the wall) and finally the brass from all the bathroom fixtures. Hope it can help you make the decision ;)

I can't get over the fact you look so beautiful, Kylie! I've been watching your videos for years now, and you've always been absolutely Bella, but with "Little bean" inside and "Big bean" at your side (lol!), you're shining such a bright light! So happy for you, you deserve all the Best! Lots of Love❤P.S: I love the crimson tiles :)

Love the Crimson tile with the floor much softer and warm! Congratulations on 6 months along, you look incredible, as always… GLOWING WITH LOVE AND HAPPINESS! God Bless have a beautiful week!🇺🇸🇮🇹🌹❤️😘🙏

The blue gives a pretty contrast and looks like the color of your skies.

Another bit of heaven in a video! Thank you🤩. Whatever you go with for the bathroom will be beautiful, all good choices. My personal preference is for the soft reddish tile with the terra-cotta and stone. Pure magic. You look so beautiful and how wonderful to feel that spark of life. Wishing you all good things.

A fantastic video. I have not tried adding zucchini to homemade pesto. I also make handmade pasta since visiting Italy. I will make this for dinner this coming week. I prefer the faded crimson tile. It suits the earthy colour with the terracotta. I love hearing you speak in Italian. My family spent a month in Italy before Covid (visiting from Australia) and loved the food, the people and especially Tuscany.

Kylie you never disappoint in your videos. I have said it before and I will say again. Your videos are so magical, beautiful and so full of life and love. Thank you for sharing such beauty ❤️ it’s always such a gift to watch your videos. By the way, you look absolutely beautiful pregnant ❤️❤️

All the time you were cooking this amazing meal I could not wait to hear the comments and the "Yummy Yum Yum" reaction from your Guido. He never fails to appreciate your skills.

I was convinced by the blue tile then unexpectedly changed to the softer red when they were in the bathroom setting, it’s going to be fabulous whichever one you and Guido select x

The red tile for sure...

I came to this vlog late. I love all of the choices that confront you. That sink is stunning. Although many have said the crimson, I say the blue. It is crisp and clean and you will find tons of wonderful blues in fabric and such. The crimson with the terracotta will just blend in together while the blue provides a fresh contrast. Your pesto recipe is so tempting. I admire the care that you take when you are preparing a meal just for you and Guido. I am so enjoying the process through which you home is finding its rustic roots.

The red is beautiful and works beautifully with the floor. It looks better for the countryside. The blue gives me more beach vibes.

Good morning Kylie & Guido from New York. Thank you for doing all that you do because I love your content!! The sink is beautiful!!

Oh Kylie !!!! I’m making that pesto today ! I hope you select the blue tile. You are the highlight of my weekend. When I see your video come up- I plan a special time to watch on my large TV screen so I can really enjoy the beauty of your filmmaking. It’s just as hot here in the southern USA. And there is wind too. Feels like we are roasting in a convection oven. You’re looking very healthy & beautiful. And Guido too !!! So glad your en suite project is proceeding!!!

Your videos are always beautiful and inspiring.🌻🌞🌼

I think the soft red looks fantastic with the terra-cotta ❤️

Cara Kylie, today's episode was well worth the extra wait. What a delight for all the senses! As for me, I always would go for the blue tile. I just love a splash of blue and white. I'm still in love with your kitchen makeover in Firenze. How did Guido participate in the calcio storico? As a player? I hope he didn't get hurt. Wow, you can't get any more italian/Renaissance than today's episode. From the pesto, to the stunning view, to the terra-cotta tiles, to the costumes, to nessun dorma! Sono completamente innamorata! ❤️ A presto, ciao

Thank you for all your amazing work and the incredible inspiration your videos mean to me! Thank you for your time, passion and thoughtful content. Intelligent, full of love and an incredible and honest presentation of Tuscany. Wishing you and your family all the best! Take care in this crazy heat weave 🤗❤

I can watch the first minute over and over . Actually I did! So beautiful. The sounds of nature, the beautiful shots of you picking basil. Awww so soothing and relaxing. I miss the sounds of roosters.

The red tiles are looking so good with walls and floor.Best of everything in life.

One if the most beautiful series created by you! Guido looks good! Best Wishes to you both! From Ocala Florida! Ciao!

You're looking even more beautiful, love the reference little bean, so sweet. My Granddaughter recently started making pasta, she's 14, I'll have to show her yours to give it a try. So happy you had someone you trust agreed to lay your floor. I hope all is well, and everyone has a wonderful weekend

You look stunning!!!! I love listening to you in Italian helps me to learn again. Hubby don't talk to us in Italian 😝

Bellissima puntata in italiano, finalmente direi visto la mia difficoltà di capire l'inglese anche se sie molto brava ad inserire entambi, tu sei speciale e un milone di auguri per una serena gravidanza🌼

Thank you once again Kylie. I hope you're getting enough rest in the heat, so looking forward to seeing your " little bean" ! The blue tiles are my preferred choice, but perhaps a bit stark in contrast with the floor. Whichever colour you choose I'm sure it will look enchanting. Keep well all 3 of you.

I appreciate all that you do to bring us amazingly beautiful creations 🥰

Hexagon and blue tile team...Blue with white towels looks so refreshing and calming.

The Hexagonal Tiles are perfect.

I broke my rule of checking my phone first thing in the morning just to watch this vlog, cause your vlogs are really worth it 😍😍😍❤️

I’m reading other comments and finding many of us feel the same 😂 I also voted for the blue initially, but now that I’ve seen the samples next to the other stonework, I think the crimson looks better too. I love the hexagonal terracotta floor with the stone walls, but I do think any of the shapes/layouts of the floor tiles will be lovely. Beautiful video and so happy for you that you have a floor now and there seem to be some possibilities with getting the plumbing done - fingers crossed!! 🤞

The crimson is my choice now that I've seen the total and grand design. You choose what YOU like as you have to live with it forever. Balsimo. I love your way of making the pasta and the zucchini with the basil looks devine. You are so fit as a fiddle. You will be in your tiny clothes in no time after the little bean arrives. So glad your floor is being done. The sink is pure perfection. Love it!

Loved this episode - as always. Thank you. ❤️

Amazing!! Keep inspiring ✨️ Thank you kylie! 💞💞

At almost six months you look wonderful ! I so enjoy your healthy cooking and your beautiful vlogs. I feel like a little child again sitting in the kitchen watching my grandmother ( from Bari) cooking. It’s not easy having heat waves while pregnant take good care. While I am drawn to blue most every time when I saw the crimson tile placed against the walls and the natural light I think I prefer the crimson. The sink is so beautiful. I can’t wait to see the progress! I can’t decide on the floor tile shapes …. Maybe the hexagon? Thank you again for a beautiful trip to the lovely Tuscan countryside.

You and your husband should make a tourism of Tuscany and show them all the wonderful places. You are both great at showing everyone Italy.... Also I LOVE your music!!!!!!!! Good job.... 🌹

I am so happy for you both! Guido is just perfect for you. Thank you for the beautiful lesson, can't wait to try it. Love to you!

Beautiful vlog as always ,you inspire me to make fresh homegrown food ,your blooming in pregnancy x

I loooove the sink, I think the hexagonal terracota floor tiles would look really beautiful in the bathroom and since its already in another place in the house it can perfectly tie back to that, also my favorite between the blue and the crimson its, without a doubt, the blue, feels so fresh with the stone and the terracota floors, so airy and beatifull and relaxing, love what you are doing! Can´t wait to see more episodes! lots of love!

I think like everyone else I prefer the crimson tiles but I like the rectangle tiles for the floor . It’s going to look beautiful when it’s done !

Guido is very lucky to have you prepare all these wonderful meals. I love how you show off your growing belly, you are the prettiest pregnant lady I’ve seen! Another amazing video. Love and peace from New Jersey💙💙

Kylie as always another beautiful video my husband and I look forward every week for a new video we love you here in Toronto Ontario you and Guido are wonderful together And you look beautiful as always God Bless You 🙏💜

Guido: Kylie is a genuine genius. First of all, she picked you! And you are wonderful. Secondly, she descends from a line of genius women (χρυσοχερες - done con il core e mano d'oro)

Kylie you're a breath of fresh air in the vlogging world. Grazie mile!

I can’t help it-the opera music was bringing me to tears-I thought this video Kylie was wonderful and your home is coming along smoothly as well as your beautiful little ‘bean’ pregnancy-you always look beautiful! Love the pasta tips too!!

Watching your life is a pleasure for me. Seeing you and Guido so happy waiting for your little blessing, plus redoing your place is what I adore being part of. Grazie ………..❤️🤗🇨🇦

Although I love blues, I think the crimson tiles blend in better against all the natural stone. I also adore the hexagonal tiles. My sister used it in her kitchen in a Spanish style home in California, and its gorgeous. I love watching your videos, they are so calm, and beautiful. I'm looking forward to watching your renovations, and excited for you both on your upcoming baby!

Hi Kylie and Guido, So glad the cement got poured on that dangerous flooring and I pray that's enough to make it safe! The tiles are so beautiful, me too, I like the crimson! Little by little things are evolving, remember; "Rome wasn't built in a day!" Love the delicious pasta dish, it's a good idea to add zucchini to the pesto, can't wait to try it! Guido looks so handsome in his medieval costume! I enjoyed the dialogue too, as I am half Italian, living in Ceyreste, France, my Grandfather was born in Avelino and came to America, where he met my Grandmother, making me a fouth generation Italian, and citizen of Naples! Thank you, it's music to my ears! You look wonderful and so healthy!

The faded crimson tile speaks to me. I love how it looks against the floor tiles and the stone wall. Thumbs up on the rectangular tiles for me.

Congratulations on 6 months! I do believe you are a few weeks ahead of me. So thrilled for you both and that things seem to be progressing in all areas of your lives. Treasure these moments that you have with your little one growing inside of you. I am constantly reminding myself that this is the only time you will be able to experience pregnancy for the first time. It’s truly a gift, even with the highs and lows.

Both tiles are beautifully made,love them both the red blends where the blue pops,even a deeper blue,watching all your videos is like a beautiful movie that just gets better,I hope the new week brings you less heat,but summer months are hot for sure,the pasta dish looks incredible and no matter how life gets up and down with things the smile and love and care you give Guido and the smile and love he gives you DOESNT happen often.i always say you need to write a coffee table book,cookbook💖you are both so very talented and I love the fact that you always remain humble

I was relieved when i received notification you posted today. I was worried. You both are like my extended family ❤️. Still wish you had a live cam for us to see your beautiful slice of heaven, your cooking and progress with your pregnancy. Have a blessed day and see you next week. Xoxo

Oh I love the blue tile. The red is soft and pretty as well but that blue is just gorgeous.

I'm glad you're surviving the drama of your last laborer. Now that you have the real samples, I like the Rossa one best. It goes with the rock walls. The blue is too bright. xx gianna

Normally I love everything blue but that crimson red with terracotta looked lovely. Both are gorgeous options and I think either is going to be beautiful. Loved the hexagon shaped terracotta.

I too prefer the soft crimson tiles. so warm and inviting. I can see the bath lit up with cozy candles. It will be gorgeous! Thank you for another wonderful and stunningly beautiful video. They are the highlight of my Friday. You have such a eye for beauty!

Hello Greetings from USA 🇺🇸😊 Pennsylvania, The Blue is Beautiful!🥰 Very Soothing, Calm... Best Wishes and Blessings 🙏 Gracious for the Italian Dialogue Speaking and Wonderful Pesto Recipe.. Looks Delicious !😍

Your videos always bring so much peace in my chaotic life! Thank you for sharing a little bit of Italy, and the beauty in simplicity ❤️

Love you speaking Italian - you speak very clearly. Please keep doing it ❣️

Love the red tiles with the hexagonal floor tiles. Beautiful warm colours. The blue has a cool feeling to it and doesn't compliment the beautiful floor tiles I think.no doubt whatever you choose it will be gorgeous.

I have not watched the video yet but I saw your updates and I just want to say please take good care of yourself girl. There is a miracle growing inside you and you need sleep to keep up the magic! And now I will watch your new masterpiece ;-))).

Great pesto ideas, thank you! Would have never thought of using almond flour! Will try it! I don't think you can go wrong with either tile color. So glad that part of your home is safe now! Hope you can continue to line up contractors and most of all, I hope you can get some rest now! 😴🙏❤️🇮🇹🇺🇲

With the little bean coming I prefer the blue as it has more contrast with the terracotta, great pesto recipe 🌺

In everything give thanks, for tis is the will of God in Christ for you. My deepest admiration for someone who honors their parents and husband while utlizing their creative and tender heart to bless all of us. Thank you for making our Saturday!

The horses are so beautiful! Very joyful for you both at having a baby! Blessing’s to you both!
