☺️ thanks so much!! The cabinets are exactly what I had envisioned and Giacomo’s team deserves all the credit for doing such a great job! The chocolate Lacanche is such a highlight for us 😋🍫 dreaming about having a home full of family and friends once we finish it all up! 😊
🥰🤗 thanks so much!! We are so thrilled with the newly polished floors! So worth the investment 😉 Giacomo and his team are truly wood artisans (and so incredibly organized)! They executed our vision to the T and we are so happy to work with them. We have more projects and areas of the house to work on and we will definitely be collaborating with him again!
So glad we leaned into the floors!! It was so worth polishing them to make them brand new and the tones work so well with the new kitchen. Now Rob and I are designing the living space 😊 Bit by bit we are getting there!
Grazie tanto! 🥰 Siamo fortunati a collaborare con artigiani appassionati per dare vita alla nostra visione! Abbiamo tanti progetti divertenti in arrivo, come il bagno al piano terra! 🙌💪
This kitchen is even more beautiful than I ever imagined! The oven head is STUNNING, such a great idea. Excited to see it all finished and styled - what kind of plates, silverware and glassware are you thinking?
🥰 thanks so much!! Oh, so many ideas have been brewing in my mind but we can’t wait to go all out with the coffee bar first! Lots of chic mugs, tea cups and saucers, display jars, small vases and cutting boards. It’s not always easy finding exactly what we have in mind but the hunt is worth it! 👀 We’re looking for modern pieces that mix well with 60s/70s vintage 🍸🥃
How rewarding it is to see this beautiful install! The textures between the countertops and floors are stunning and I'm loving how you have carried the rounded edge motif so seamlessly throughout the space. Can't wait to see all the styling and the windows! Great start to the new year!
Thanks so much for such a kind and encouraging message 🥰🙏 we poured our hearts into this kitchen and researched so much to help us make informed design decisions. It was a bit overwhelming at times, but so glad we battled it out and carefully considered each detail in the grand scheme of things! So much to come in 2024 and lots of new rooms to work on and style 😉✨Happy New Year and a big hug from us in Italy!!!
Love, love, love this episode. The cabinets we feel like we’ve watched them grow and process into your kitchen with you. It’s absolutely beautiful. But when we saw the stove you chose, that took us over the edge. It’s fabulous.!!! We’re living our dream kitchen through yours and one day hope to do the same ~ thanks so much for your inspiration and we love watching you enjoy your inspiration and hard work. Way to go!!!
🥰🥲thanks so much for following us along this wild adventure! It’s been a journey getting the kitchen together with so many different trades but with a lot of patience we are nearly finished! I hope you’re having a fun time designing your kitchen! All the saving and waiting is totally worth it - go after exactly what you want! People will chime in but follow your heart❤️✨
WOW WOW WOW...we are sitting in bed in Sydney, where we are spending the Italian winter and watching your amazing kitchen instal! What an incredible achievement and you've created a timeless and elegant kitchen which will always look amazing! Bravissimi! Hope you're all well and Happy New Year for today!!! Big hugs from your Tuscan "neighbours" almost! 🥰😍🤗🥂 PS: loved the restaurant suggestions in Bolgheri and Lucca! 😍
🥲 thank you!!! We hope you’re having a wonderful New Year in Sydney! How lovely 😉 It doesn’t feel quite real to see such a big project finally installed! So much planning, hard work, saving, and patience went in to making it come to life. We still haven’t touched anything 🤣 but once we move downstairs, it’s going to be! Cheers to 2024!
Hi there!! Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I’m so glad you found us too! We have so many renovation and design things coming 💪We’re just getting back into the swing of things after having our little one😅👩🍼
Thank you so much and Happy New Year!!🥳✨ Oh, I can’t wait for the windows!! I’ve gotten so used to the space feeling closed up and orange because of the boards 🤦♀️ once they take those out and we have lighting installed, it will feel like a real home! 🤣 Cheers to a bright and happy 2024!!
Thanks so much and Happy New Year!! I’m so glad Rob had the brilliant idea for the hood 😉 It definitely makes the space pop more! Just a few more finishing touches and the space will be complete!
Hi there!! Fun!! Where are you headed? There’s so many amazing places throughout Italy but Tuscany has my heart 😊 Rob and I designed our kitchen from the ground up and had our carpenter build it. It took us months to plan and figure out where we wanted to place everything and to find the right materials 😅 we started with a list of must haves and the appliances. Our carpenter did such an amazing job executing our vision!
Curious why you chose mid-century in an Italian villa - is that the era the house was built? Very cool result, btw. So glad you did the quartzite sink - are you happy with it? Hood is a brilliant design as well - good call.
😊 thanks so much for your kind message! we really wanted to stay true to the original time period the villa was built (1960s) and this was also our favorite period for architecture and design. We’re taking loads of inspiration from Italian architects and designers like Carlo Scarpa and architects from the case study house project. Materials are so important to us and we love our new sink! We haven’t been able to use our kitchen quite yet so I’ll be sure to give an update when we finally have gas and use everything🤣
We love our Lacanche! We can’t wait to start using it, definitely worth the wait. Try Lacanche.com, they have a configurator online so you can build anything your heart desires 😍
