- Ciao! This week I continue the bathroom renovation from the farmhouse in Tuscany, Italy. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:

You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

I was shocked to watch Guido just looking at you when the branch broke and not checking on you. Yes you told him to warn you but that was after the fact and he should have
automatically gone to you to make sure you were alright. None-the-less, the vlog was well done!
Totally agree!!!
yeah, that caught me off guard
Girl it's like I'm watching a beautiful perfect movie every week! I can't thank you enough for sharing all the beauty of the world and giving us all hope, dream and inspiration. You have no idea what a difference you make in my life. I am not good with words but I hope you can feel my heart.
DITTO here tooo!!!!
Thank you with all my heart, Lisa!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ This really means so much to me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am in awe. When you mentioned that you wanted a path down the side of the hill, it didnt occur to me that work wouldnt be done by some workmen. And then............you started making a staircase down the side of the hill. You and your dad could renovate that whole farm by yourselves and the pig pens too. I cant wait for the next episode. Im a little sad your parents are leaving.
Hi Kylie &Guido,
First of all motorcycle==
Helmets and protective clothing, boots...gloves..

Sweet wife up off ground.
She is a darling..and wear
Protective glasses when

From that fall in woods.

Happy mardi gras..let the
Good times roll.stay healthy..stay warm..
🥶 cold here on gulf coast.
Later y'all..❤❤❤
You are a very strong woman and it is very inspirational to watch your weekly videos, to be strong is to be independent. However, I spent a lot of energy being a lot like you. By the time one is middle aged, we take an accounting of life as we look foreword and see less time than when we look backward. What we see can only be judged by ourselves, the one who witnesses our life, we invite; our middle ages are less about pandering. I suspect in the future you might want a hand at some moment to be all that you are, therefore, when we fall-our beloved needs to run to us, because time steals the ability to constantly carry someone. Your renovations are beautiful, congratulations. Your filming is extraordinary and we must all remember that there is no team behind you editing, Brava!
I'm glad you took my suggestion about only painting the perimeter of the tiles. I know that it will have a subtle beauty. So, sorry you fell on the ground when Guido jumped on that tree branch. That was totally unexpected to watch. Glad you are still young enough to bounce back from a fall like that and didn't get any bruises. Poor baby. Love watching your life at the Villa. Much love, Charleen from Arizona.
When you were on the motorcycle it look like you were driving through a painting. What a dream.
It made me sad that he wasn't more concerned about you falling when he jumped on the wood
We will all miss your parents! They are amazing workers and creators we now know where you got it from! Love the stencil I have never been a fan of florals but this looks more botanical which is what I love too!
Beautiful film, full of inspiration and you make SUCH a fantastic team. There's an old English saying 'Wood Warms You Twice' - once when you cut and chop it and again when you burn it. Your Mum is amazing - stacking all that wood up and your dad is so clever. Can't wait for the big bathroom reveal and so so pleased you went the Rose Route xx
It has been so lovely having your parents in the videos! Godspeed and hope to have them back :)
Hello Kylie, I've recently discovered your channel and am loving it, you have the most divine taste and I adore your tiles with the roses. I was so concerned about you when you fell and was worried that Guido didn't come instantly to your aid and kiss you better. I do hope you are recovered and without any scratches or bruises. xoxo
You are so grounded and such a hard worker! I love your parents! Guido is a very blessed man.
A blessed man with a good heart.
Oh! Guido, be careful when working around your Bride!!! You surely can work Kylie! Amazing work inside and out.Your parents are awesome how they have been helping you with all the work on the property! You will surely miss them! Enjoy your weekend! 👍😘
And maybe ask if she's ok.
And maybe help her up...
@@hungrysnook654 thats what i was thinking too
@@wendyk4617 yes totally.
Guido 👎
Thank you for the stroll, bike ride, and for allowing us to venture with you all into the wealth of Italy's beauty!
the views of the tuscan countryside makes me feel like i am transported into paradise. i can see why you incorporate elements of nature into the home you’re creating. the two spaces should compliment one another. it’s so refreshing to see you and guido breath new life into the farm instead of letting it go to someone else or letting it fall a part. i am used to farmers selling their farms here in america (for many different reasons) which i wish wasn’t happening. but watching your videos is inspiring and refreshing!
Watching both of you work together. That shows love and care for each other. So amazing what love can do for you. Good luck!
I always say you are an amazing woman. You create beauty & your movies are so serene, peaceful & filled with life's lessons. I sure will miss your parents as well. They were great help & I now know where you get your talent & craftsmanship & determination to the finish line. I send you & Guido much love & light. Stay safe.❤🥰🌹🌺💐
The bathroom looks very clean, elegant, and very very beautiful. Congratulations, you have accomplished your dream. Bless you all!!! You are a jewel and so are your parents. They are absolutely fantastic.
Oh, Kylie, Everything you do is extraordinary and beautiful. I watched the movie with Diane Lane and she bought a Villa in Tuscany for a moment it felt like I was watching Under the Tuscan Sun how beautiful you and Guido's home is. Lots of work! You're going to miss your mum and dad. I hope they come back again. I can't wait to see the bathroom I was hoping for this week. I love how the ceiling looks but the bathroom stencil WOW! How that turned out is a Big WOW good choice.
Truly a feast for the eyes and the soul.
Hi Kylie. My Dad began snaking trees out of the woods in North Carolina with the help of a mule, when he was 8 years old back in the 40’s. He was paid 5 cents a day. When we were young, he taught us how to split wood safely and effectively. We had a blast too! When you hold your axe, keep your dominant hand firmly towards the end of the handle. Your non-dominant hand should be towards the axe head. When you begin your swing your non-dominant hand should slide down the axe handle towards your dominant hand. It helps with leverage and makes it much easier to chop.
Tuscany reminds me of the Texas Hill Country. One word describes both places: beautiful.
It is hard work to keep up with a farm... but you both make it look real, hard, but rewarding, exausting at times, but the result and the joy are overwhelming, a reward in itself! God bless!
You are both always so busy with projects! To be expected in such a large,old place. No wonder you look so beautiful,Kylie.All that fresh, Tuscan air and physical labor! Tiles looking charming.Aww,sad ur parents are leaving..They are wonderful! Guido is a sweetheart.Adores you! I just want to receive a big hug from him.Teddy bear.
It’s been a week since I started binge watching all your videos starting with the first one! What an amazing adventure you lived! Such an adventure for me to watch…you are so talented, beautiful and loved!
welcome to the family 😊✨
Glad you have found this channel. It was so wonderful to watch all of these the past 2 years while the world was/is in such turmoil. These videos are a wonderful escape. Welcome to paradise Simona 🥰
I JUST LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND CREATIVITY........AND THE COUNTRYSIDE IS SO BEAUTIFUL IT MAKES MY HEART SING......YOU ARE LIVING THE LIFE I HAD DREAMED OF WHEN I WAS YOUNGER......IF THERE IS REINCARNATION I WANT TO COME BACK AS A VERSION OF YOU.....HA HA
Kylie, it’s so cute how when you talk to Guido you speak with this Italian accent. 😍 And you speak in this sweet voice.
I am impressed from the hard work you both put into the property. I grew up in a village and I know how difficult is getting wood from forest and than cutting with and putting it in dry place. That is the hardest way to get wood - love that you are collecting already dead trees.
You have done a beautiful job on your tiles. It looks amazing. How much fun to paint and design your trim. I am sorry to see your parents leave, I am sure you will miss them. They are amazing, such hard workers and so much fun. Thank you.
The stencils are beautiful!! I love the randomness
the way he didnt even flinch when you fell 😬😬
Kylie I enjoyed this video very much. But remind Guido the next time you fall on the ground he should help you up.
White roses on a bed of green.
Floating down a mossy sheen.
Sprung to life by artistry.
A bathroom with a floral sea.
To relish beauty‘s magic spell.
But will it last ? No one can tell.
Thank you for yet another wonderful episode reflecting your immense talent, enduring enthusiasm and inspiring ideas. 😚
How lovely! Thank you!!!
@@KylieFlavell Thank you. 😊 It‘s my humble praise of your exceptional work.
You have no idea how much your films help me to dream...they are so inspiring, peaceful and relaxing...and also your taste makes them super aesthetically pleasing and beautiful to Watch! I, like you, have this love for beautiful things...🦋💐
Love u Kylie and thank you so much 💕 kisses to you and Guido from Marche 🇮🇹
Horses, tractors and even motorcycles.
Damn, guys, you surely know how to enjoy life in the countryside. 👏
Omw!! The setting just makes one s heart soar.Bellissimo lavoro. molto bene😊👏
The view is so beautiful, like a painting.
Lovely work in the bathroom Kylie. I am anxious to see the whole reveal. Please get steel cap boots and helmets for yourself and Guido. We don't want you two to hurt yourselves. Baci.
Kylie... you are just a great soul, thinker and thank you for showing life through your eyes. Guido, pls help your wife next time she falls. Just rush to give her a helping hand.
Yes,he needed to be kinder and more concerned.Perhaps it's because you are so capable,Kylie.
the episode was nice and happy to see your beautiful progress with the bathroom❣️
I must say though, Guido pissed me off with his irresponsible jumping on the wood and even more so with not helping you get up or even say sorry, he just stood there and quickly got back to his wood. You could’ve fallen flat on your face and scar it badly, wtf? Also- if we fall protect your face?! Why don’t you let him take it slowly by himself, without a helmet and see how efficient he is in protecting his face.. as a driver at least you should be more responsible, not to mention as a husband
sorry, had to be said
take care Kylie, much love
Yes, well said. We need to set our boundaries and stick to them. Male bravado!
Use a helmet…? Forget the face…don’t crack your head!
YAY, the bathroom is coming along so nicely!👍Working on renovating & looking after the farm takes many hours & a variety of skills.. It's great that you & Guido, your mum & your dad, have many talents & skills to keep everything creatively ticking along. Enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing, Kylie. xx
Another fine video, Kylie. I love how the bathroom is progressing and love the stencils you have chosen. The landscape is amazing, and each time I watch your videos, I am reminded to return to Italy. Hopefully when Covid has passed and my bank account is full again, I will return. In the meantime, I will live vicariously through your videos. Bellissima, Kylie. Ciao e tutti.
Kylie your videos are very calming to watch. During this pandemic they have helped keep the mind sane for sure. Be careful, I have a few friends whom have broken limbs these last few weeks in the weirdest ways. You are young and can bounce back but broken bones are so difficult to heal.
Tart cherry trees are self pollinating but sweet cherry trees generally require planting of a different varietal in order for best yield. Hope this is helpful. Safe journey to your parents. TYFS, stay safe and healthy everyone
A good call on the bathroom tiles and it already looks amazing. So good to see more sunshine as it's still dull and grey in the UK. I can't imagine how much you are going to miss your parents and hope they plan to return very soon. It seems you do need two different kinds of cherry trees for pollination, so you may need to plant more. Already looking forward to next week's update. That sunset was so beautiful!
Love the stencil choice, looks beautiful I can't wait to see the finished room!
Amazing Kylie, I love the stencil. The cabinet is a treasure. Your parents are Wonderful I see where you get your work ethic. Take a day off once in a while to breath!!
Beautiful view!!! 🌲🌳🌱
Very good painting ideas. I hope you are not hurt. Have a good day.
What a beautiful life you are are all working towards ❤️ You are enjoying the toil and delighting in your achievements- wonderful 🕊💕
Kylie you are living my dream. I love your passion for the simple life but most importantly you always have so much love to share with everyone.
Thank you for sharing your life with wonderful life with me.❤️❤️🙏
Your beautiful news of Italy and the life there... Inspires me no end... One day I will fulfill my dreams to learn to cook at winter school in Tuscany and learn that magical romance language that you speak so beautifully.. Grazie mille... Panting for more of your news👏
Your parents are amazing
Can’t wait for the next episode! I’m always so happy to see your videos ❤️❤️
This video brought back lots of good memories for me. When I was racing my family on 135 acres in hilly Wisconsin we always cut and burnt wood. We always joke that when you burn wood you got warm twice once cutting stacking hauling and then again when you burnt it. You two are very hard workers it sure reminds me of my life growing up but on a much smaller scale
The tile reno is so beautiful! So well done! Best wishes to you all!
Oh Kylie, the stencil looks gorgeous! 💚
Incredibly beautiful! Thank you for your vlog. It’s a gift.
Can’t wait 😝! What a work of art and devotion I am sure it will turn like magazine pictures of homes❤️🥂
Oh my…I literally can’t wait to see the bathroom completed! See ya next Friday:).
Thank you, Kylie, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad the stenciling is coming along well, and great music with the woodcutting segment of the video, and getting the colors of the hills on the horizon, magnificent, congrats!😎👍
Oh I LOVE the white flowers! My favorite colors together or green and white.❤️❤️❤️
Everything is really beautiful in the bathroom. Thank you for the video.
Your bathroom looks so beautiful. You are doing an amazing job with the floral stenciling.
Love the stencilling Kylie, so beautiful, love the white on the green. You work so hard and always remain so positive and so cheerful with everything. x 🙂
Just beautiful Kylie, I adore your videos and style ❤️ wishing you a very happy weekend xxx

Beautiful moments spent with you both, filled with laughter, smiles, working and playing as you go. Love what you have done in the bathroom and can’t wait to see the finished reveal! Many blessings to you both.
Is it worth taking the risk riding a motorbike without a helmet and why did he not ask if your ok when you fell over but love the stenciling in bathroom
You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us... Such a talented artist and filmmaker... Such a treat to witness your art.
Thank you Kylie for this beautiful film! It is lovely to see a little bit of your parents, we are eager to spend more time with them. Please tell Guido we love his BMW motorcycle!
Another Awesome video!
Kylie...I've watched your program for many weeks and I have now realized why I look forward each week to you publishing your latest program. I have realized that you are a "story teller" who's professional skill set is so perfectly aligned with your idea for a great program that it has attracted a half of a MILLION people!...Just think about that number for a moment...250 thousand subscribers!...Congratulations!
What differentiates your program from others is that it's not about YOU, it's about you...it's about everyday life of a person with a purpose in Japan, France, Italy...and now you have Guido and family as co-stars. Again, Congratulations Kylie. Already looking forward to your program next week.
Thank you so much, Russ!
The bathroom tiles are extraordinary - beautiful job - can't wait to see the finished look - love to see your home projects!!

Such a wonderful video, I loved every moment, well done xxxxx
Wonderful! Excited to see the finished bathroom!!
I’m sorry to see your parents leaving. 💗
Bravissimo Kylie. Reminds me of antique lace. I love the way you painted some of the leaves and flowers to look worn and a bit translucent. It’s absolutely beautiful ♥️ What a wonderful meaningful life.
Over so soon, you make me laugh you guy's...your parents are real troopers. Another beautiful warm video. Thank you
Wow!! You have the blessing to live in such a stunning place. Congratulations!!
Absolutely gorgeous work!!

I'll miss them just as I am sure you and Guido will.
