2 Years Renovating our Italian Apartment: Grand Tour!

Welcome to my first video showcasing my historic Florentine apartment renovation tour!
Hello everyone, Giordan here. A lot of you guys on Instagram have asked me to make this video for a long time now, and the timing just felt right. After more than two years we finally finished our work on the property, in fact only a few weeks ago. So come join me as I share some of the drama and passion which brought this whole project to life.
This is my first ever video so PLEASE be kind enough to like and subscribe. It's going to be what helps encourage me to make more of these kind of videos. And speaking of which, be sure to write in the comments section what YOU would like me to focus on with my next video!

it was a really great job, I would love to see more

[@katherinelawrence8402]

Absolutely incredible. You must feel so proud of what you accomplished and to enjoy that amazing home as your reward, priceless. Please please do more videos. I have just bought my first home a small flat in Scotland a couple of months ago, still unpacking but starting the design process. It was built a little later than yours in 1887 but like yours untouched design wise since the 1970s for the most part. So just starting my journey and would love to learn and see more from you did. Hoping to hear back and too see more. Congrats again. Thanks so much for making this video I loved it from start to finish.

[@TheBritalianJob]

Katherine thank you for your comment, I find it so inspirational! Us renovator have have got this passion in common and it unites us all. I wish you all the best with your project in Scotland, it sounds like a dream. And more videos are absolutely on the way with my new renovating a palace series!

[@sanderclaessen01]

Great Video! And above all such a success in quality. Great for the Italian cultural heritage. Welldone guys! There is a clear passion that can be tasted, also regarding antique furniture.

[@hamzachou8756]

Great video with great content. I've always enjoyed the short videos you had been posting on Instagram showing the renovation journey of your project. But making a full video out of it is other great thing. Very proud of you, keep going dear !

[@solobano570]

Beautiful! Thank you for doing the hard work and for preserving and renovating at the same time this fantastic property. I am from Croatia and not an Italian, but it always makes me incredibly happy to see efforts in restoration round the world of such architectural gems! This is a true art of living. Congrats 🎈

Thanks so much Emma

[@williammit1332]

Loved the video, the content and production are quite good. I am in a quandary as to why you don't have many more views. I am a retired Italian American living in Thailand. I have recently been considering buying second home in Calabria on the Terranean sea where my family originated. You have made a masterpiece.

[@fredscott1199]

Hello from Nashville, Tennessee! I love what you two are doing. Hour kitchen is beautiful! You have purchased such lovely antiques to tie everything together! Super job! Hang in there on the rest of your beautiful home!

[@jennarare]

Bravo guys! Thankyou for sharing! Bellisima! What a great job of appreciating the history of the building, whilst maximising it's at times, unknown features like the gorgeous rooves & beams, as well as cleverly planning the best full use of the available space, and sensitively, beautifully, decorating it in a complementary manner. Love your work! When I move to bella Italia, I may get in touch! Or at the very least see you at one of the grandi mercatini dell'antiquariati. All best 😊

[@TheBritalianJob]

Thanks for the gorgeous words of encouragement!

Wonderful inspirational apartment restoration with respect for it's history and place. Well done! I restored my Italian house quite a few years ago it's hard work.

I can’t imagine any place in Western European harder, yet more satisfying to restore a home. Thanks so much and also congratulations to you too!

@@TheBritalianJob Before Covid, we would rent a Apartment (you have a choice of three) from a resident of Florence. We became good friends with them. Their Apartments are, On the Oltroarno side. In front of the Ponte alla Grazie. In the beautiful neighborhood of San Nicolo. I’m sure your familiar with the residential neighborhood. And we are praying and looking forward to our return. 🙏🥰🇮🇹

Amazing result! You did go the extra mile. For the VELUXs, was it the builder who got the permission? How long and how smooth was the process of getting the installation approved?
