RENOVATING A RUIN: Bathroom Makeover, DIY vintage-style cupboard & Gardening in Tuscany (Ep 14)

Hello again! I hope you like this renovation episode from Italy. This time I'm doing another bathroom makeover with hand painted stencilled tiles, a DIY handmade timber bathroom cabinet or cupboard and lots of gardening on the farmhouse here in Tuscany while waiting for the paint to dry. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. If you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

You are a marvel, your enthusiasm, your work ethic, your talent, your joy ......watching you is a gift. I so wish I was young and strong like you, I'd join you in your adventures. You fill my heart with your goodness. God Bless your father and mother for all that they do and please let Guido we support his efforts to improve his health. Love you

[@jamespbuckman6172]

So nice to see a "young couple" with their home projects!! Your Fathers wooden cupboard you will cherish for years remembering the hard work he put into it!! Great job, great videos!!

[@chanchoyling4919]

A random border of scattered roses and vines may gives a natural look to your beautifully newly painted bathroom. Well done for all the hard work. Your parents are wonderful

[@Joybeth945]

Option 1 sounds so dreamy! Also I’d love to see guido’s progress with his weight loss & his plan for how to lose the weight

[@ugoturchi8634]

it seems your love of Italy is greater than many Italians. The respect and consideration you have for Italian art, culture, history, cuisine, traditions lead me to think that you were born with the desire for knowledge and respect for other people and the polite and elegant way you have for all aspects of life make you a truly special person. Thanks for everything

[@natasharose]

Option 1 is so romantic! But whatever you choose will be beautiful 💗

[@stacycallaway3297]

Love love the green! Any choice would be wonderful I love 1& 2 And good luck Guido we are right there with you! Less wine and more exercise ❤️ And always thank you for sharing your life with us

[@debbiephillips3974]

Option 1! Beautiful job!

[@annbrosnan8586]

I've stayed up to watch this and it was worth every second. I would love a series on Guido's fitness goals and especially including your recipes: the perfect combination. I can't believe your dad is going to be 77 as he looks so much younger. The bathroom is fab and the green has turned out well. I am voting for option 1, although I realise this may be the one which will create the most work, but it will be unique if you do some freestyling as well as using the stencils. Those steps are looking great and I hope the builders return soon. So looking forward to the update next week and seeing what your dad has created as well!

[@KylieFlavell]

Ohhh thanks for staying up, Ann! 😘😘😘

[@annbrosnan8586]

@@KylieFlavell It was that or not be able to watch it until Monday as I am off to a friend's for the weekend and I love to watch your videos on the TV as they are so beautiful.

[@laurys5065]

That moment when the whole world seemed to stop while that bird was flying over you, it was so beautiful, I teared up. It happens to me a lot in the country side, these moments really make me feel like a small creature surrounded by the greatness and strength of nature. A few seconds of deep connection with the present and a feeling of pure peace, pure happiness, pure contentment. Bellissimo lavoro, Kylie, come sempre. Tanto amore.

[@milenamacek219]

Mix it up , use option 2 on floor, option 1&3 sporadically on the walls. Take a minute to map it out, maybe leave some areas plain green.Your so creative and artistic. Love every thing you do!! Cheers!

[@fernetworek9030]

Maybe run the roses up the corners and over the arches as if it were a trellis. I am a lover of green and this is a great color!

[@pilar3625]

We would like to see Guido’s progress and healthy recipes for sure! I love seeing your parents help you. They a a blessing.

[@sandrafreeman9513]

Would love to follow and encourage Guido's progress toward getting healthy! Option #1could be beautiful and peaceful. Love your videos ❤

[@chloeshea598]

I would really love to see Guido's fitness journey. I am on a similar journey myself. It would be great to get updates, and I think it would be so motivational. I love the idea of the square stencil on the and vines and roses on the walls, with some empty space left for dimension. Your work is always so lovely. Thank you for what you do.

[@ginacrusco234]

I vote for option 3! I was hoping that you'd choose to do a border so you don't kill yourself stenciling all those square feet. As for Guido's diet: I'd love to get progress reports with each episode rather than immerse myself in a dedicated video. Thanks for another beautiful video.

[@leighalmond4128]

I like option 2 but it doesn't have to be all over the tiles. It could be just a border on the wall and a border for the floor.

[@daniellereid01]

I love the idea of free-flowing, hand-painted ivy and vines on the bathroom wall, Kylie. It may take a bit longer, but I think it will be more satisfying, both aesthetically and emotionally. I am genuinely very impressed with how much Guido and yourself have accomplished so far, with the help of your amazing parents, of course. As for Guido's fitness journey, I would appreciate seeing what and how he does. I have the same issue and, with heart disease in my family, it has to be tackled now. Take care 💕

[@Patrizia-IT]

Option 1 for the bathroom 🌿🌷. It’s going to be beautiful.

[@skipthecultureshock5474]

At the end of the video I noticed those beautiful arches in the bathroom. I think it might be a good idea for whatever design you choose to empathize the arches. They add such a classic architectural feel to the bathroom.

[@intosong]

The arched walls call for option 1. Beautiful work!

[@DanDan100ism]

What ever you choose,I am sure it will bring you much satisfaction.You Will lay in your bath and look with admiration at the product of you work and say to your self”How did I ever manage to do all of this !” .What makes it even more satisfying is knowing the preparation was worth the final detailing (which is really a joy to complete) Good luck🍀🍀🍀

[@FrantasticFood]

You’re a magician making magic out of the ordinary. I vote for Option #1. And yes, I think it’s great Guido wants to be held accountable to his wellness goals. I have lost 30lbs. eating Keto and was taken off all my Diabetes meds and my blood pressure is now great. It’s worth the effort and doing it with a friend has really helped so we can be Guido’s “friends” cheering him on. 👍

[@Julia29853]

Same here, 62 years old, lost almost 40lbs/ 18kilos since last May! Its wonderful! Im slender and have energy again! All inflammation/ arthritis and other autoimmune stuff gone or totally in remission. I do Dr Berg “healthy keto” ( tons of veg, moderate meat and fats). He has KZbin channel with wonderful info. Imvery thankful to have found. I’ve started doing ballet for fitness, (after most of the weight loss) would never have attempted last year.

[@FrantasticFood]

@@Julia29853 Congrats! Dr. Berg is good also Dr. Berry who is a MD and there are others. Sometimes it’s info overload. Valley sounds fun.

[@clairetremblay3023]

The mural will bring an incredible charm. It goes with the house, the architecture and the beauty of Tuscany. These murals are typical, unique and so beautiful. The first choice is the most delightful for this room. As a bonus, you will have the option to add a little touch of color for flower petals if you want.

[@mariafusco7899]

If Guido needs the encouragement and discipline of film journaling his progress, then YES! He is too young to have such a dangerous health concern! I sincerely pray he succeeds!

[@tiblanes]

I think Guido’s attitude is the greatest inspiration. He wants his progress to be documented so he will feel accountable to your viewers. Yes, I’d totally be inclined to follow that and might even set some goals for myself and get I working on them. In your handsome husband’s defence, if I were eating your incredibly irresistible cooking everyday, Kylie, I would definitely develop a weight problem. I mean, how can one say “no” to seconds when the food is that delicious and made with so much love?

[@Cvitti]

Your Dad looks amazing! God bless him with many more years of creating what he likes to do. ❤️ anyone of those options I’m sure will be amazing! You will miss your parents when they leave. Maybe they will decide to move to Italy.

[@skipthecultureshock5474]

I LOVE watching you and your family working on the villa!!!! You have such taste and style and always do such a good job. I'm so glad your parent are staying with so you aren't alone when Guido is gone. They are so helpful and hardworking around the property. I just love watching you all helping each other out! You work so hard but your efforts always pay off. For Guido, if he thinks our support will help him meet his health goals, then I am all for it! #TeamGuido!

[@jimwalker76]

You can do it Guido! I am too old to be exercising like that but Guido is young and needs to keep his body strong and healthy for as long as he can. I would love to see Guido's progress. Your green bathroom looks beautiful, whatever you choose will be perfect. I love your videos, thank you for posting.

[@marebear09]

I think it would be lovely to have the top row of tiles stenciled as well as the floor, leaving the others plain green. Great job!

[@alexandra6864]

you remind me of my swiss-german female relatives. They made so many beautiful things and back then (in the 1920s through the 1960s) and did everything themselves. The preservance you display is so inspiring it makes me want to get up and create something wonderful! So excited to see how the bathroom turns out as well as the rest of the farmhouse❤️

My Dad (and my family) used to help me with so much. I loved learning from him and spending time with him. I’m in Italy and he is in the US. I miss them all so much. Your parents are truly amazing. 🙏🏻❤️

[@Marykguise]

Oh my gosh Kylie; you never cease to amaze me!! You get so much done!! I’d love to see recipes and see Guido’s weight loss journey. I just started one as well!! The green in the bathroom is already looking amazing!! I’d love to see a full wall hand mural of leaves and flowers if possible!! Blessings from Southern California and thank you for sharing. It especially helped me through a really tough day and reminded me of how much beauty there is in the world; both in scenery and people:)

[@JoanDoris1]

Wow! What a difference the winter light is there -- a cool blue light rather than the warm golden sunlight. Yay, Guido. We (your audience of thousands) is cheering for you. I'm trying to lose weight and get in shape, so you're inspiring me. Yes, Kylie, it would be great if you would share your recipes for the food you're feeding Guido at this time. It's so great that your parents have been there all this time to help you. You and your dad make a great team. You're going to miss them when they go back to Australia and they will miss you, and we will miss them, too. I can see who you get that beautiful thick head of hair from. It's hard to believe your dad will be 77. He's doing great. How convenient to get sheep's manure from the neighbor next door. I love the dinner bell! "Come and get it!" I've been wondering what you've been doing since we hadn't heard from you in a while. You were busy.

[@kirst10anya]

I love option 1. I think that would look amazing against the architecture of the arches

[@jameydupuy9280]

I think a magical solution to the pig building would be keeping it as a ruin [maybe strengthen/ stabilize what's left so it won't deteriorate more] and creating a "secret garden". Like inspiration from the book. A fairy tail garden with swings and climbing vines and fairy lights and just as magical as you can make it with the most beautiful views! You could have romantic picnics or set up a table. An area to read, meditation, just be or escape. A way to save the beauty of a ruin in its existing state. A real folly! Lol I can see in my head the videos you could make swinging with your hair and skirts flying on the breeze! A chance to let yalls planting go wild!

[@carolynkennedy7772]

[@caroldameron1065]

Absolutely a full mural. Yes! You will never be sorry.

Bravo Guido! I’m very interested to learn yummy lean recipes and share the commitment towards health. Kylie I love option one. It creates a whole new world for the bathroom and reminds me of your Venice trip. Please do that one!

I absolutely adore those Italian murals you showed! They have been a dream for me for ages! The arches above the bath and near the window seem to be calling for one as well! You could let it fade out towards the opposite wall near the toilet. Whatever you do will be beautiful because of that colour green It's just lovely! I would love to see Guido's progress in this journey. Buona fortuna with the murals!

Be well and love to you all.

Okay Kylie! YES I would love to watch your husbands journey and everything along with that it’s always motivational for me and refreshing to see others who live healthy lifestyles, these options are all so beautiful and I know you will make the best decision based on the paint color. I really enjoy the idea of Option 1!

[@mariekurs]

I absolutely admire plant, leave and flower patterns together! They create width and warmth in the room I believe. With what we have seen you creating with your hands, art and intuition before, I have no doubt the outcome would be beautiful then too if you choose to paint some tiles freehand! And Guido's journey! Yes! I am already inspired, Have a beautiful weekend!

[@lauratonelli7875]

[@KylieFlavell]

I’m so pleased you both enjoy it! Thank you!

[@DinainOH]

Option 1! It is so romantic and would make the room so elegant! You know you love a challenge! You can do it! You have inspired me as I settle in to a new apartment. I recently made some cafe curtains from an old sheet and today will add some trim to pretty them up a bit! They came out great even though I am not an expert sewer and they bring me joy that I made them!

[@barbhuber7502]

I like option 1. Since you wouldn’t be using the special paint on the wall ( right?) you wouldn’t be under the time constraints you have to work under with the tile paint and stencil plus you can bring in a little more color. You could do the base of the mural and add to it a little at at time. It’s beautiful as is in that room because of the wonderful ceiling so the mural will really bring your eye to that. Any of your choices will be nice though.😊

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you. Unfortunately I have to use the same two-part quick-drying paint for the stencils so that the tiles are waterproof.

[@barbhuber7502]

👍I thought you were going to do the mural on the wall above the tiles. So in that case, just do a border on the tiles.

[@alexandramiddelberg223]

I am very interested in Guido ´s Journey, since I am going the same way right now. It is also so seldom to see real feelings in the youtube world and I am eppreciating the trust he and you put in your viewers to show that realitiy. Thank ypu very much.

Yes. Weight, hypertension. Dieting now. I'm here for Guido. I have had hypertension issues for 15 years. Gained, lost and regained 50 lbs. In the process of shedding it again right now (in prep for my trip to Italy this Spring! I'm visiting because of the your inspiration. The beauty and cinematographically stunning work you create made me fall in love with Italy more and made me think seriously of retiring there. This Spring marks my first trip to explore possible areas to live. What helped my hypertension the most was meditation. Esp transcendental meditation. Yes, I know we ALL have overly active mind. Me too. Tried to meditate numerous times. Took various classes and failed but I was able to be successful meditating this way (and LOVED IT). While doing my 2x daily mediation - after I had lost that 50 lbs - I was able to get my blood pressure down to a perfect level. Alcohol is sugar so the reduction or elimination of that will help. I am so impressed your Dr. suggested and you are tackling this so young! You got this Guido!

[@indirajane]

Option 1 is gorgeous but I'm unsure how it would look on a tiled wall with the demarcation of grout lines. It could be wonderful if done well. I would like to see more about Guido's healthy living journey, including recipe videos and tips and tricks. I'm interested in this subject as well and it would be fun to follow along!

[@kittybriones1703]

Option 2 wd be BEAUTIFUL 💚💚💚

[@jeffScotty]

Omg!! This is very interesting, seeing all the work you put into these projects is inspiring. I was thinking about something I noticed. Mainly because you have touched on the subject, and that’s his drinking. I have been sober for 3 years now, and btw this is number 100 of the times it took me to get here. We can do so much to enrich the lives of other people but when it comes to trying to change other peoples habits that can be the downfall of it all. You are very ambitious 💪🏾🥰 But, to harness ambition, one must -take charge, be in “control” And so it’s easy to be smothering with control. Does any of this make sense? If it doesn’t don’t give it another thought. I have been concerned for you, you put everything you have , all that you are into this new amazing life. I want to to keep it sweetheart 🌈🥰 Maybe I am all wrong and I sound silly. Also who asked for my opinion 😂😂😂🥰

[@italiansdoitbetter5062]

I get very emotional when I watch your videos….my parents when I was 16 restored A villa from the ground up in my hometown.. i was born there and go home e Every summer that villa was falling apart. I remember saying that I would never live there it was that bad, however that house means more to me now than anything in the world because I remember all the sweat and tears and hard work and love that went into restoring it with my mom…my father passed away last April I haven’t been home since the pandemic started but I would really like to go home this year that’s where I alway feel closest to him. I totally admire everything you are doing and trust me in the end it’s all going to be worth it and just as beautiful as you dreamed it would be if not more.

[@KylieFlavell]

How beautiful. I hope you return soon. ♥️

[@Burbankelly]

Such a beautiful shade of green! Do the mural, Option 1! It will be gorgeous! If not, you can always paint over it again! Love your dad is making your cupboard! My grandparents beat their wood trim with a chain before they stained it to give it an aged/rustic look! It was so beautiful!

I love the color!! I think you should emphasize those arches by painting them as well! Love watching you and Guido!!❤️

[@yourfavoritememory4223]

Was a joy for me to decorate it! Cannot wait to have a small country house in Tuscany and go through renovation, I simply love that process and then of course seeing the results! I guess us creative people love to do everything which allows us to use our creativity and interior design could be classed in that category! It’s amazing how many things you are capable doing Kylie!! You are full of resources!! Well done! ❤️

[@janjohnson3414]

Definitely option 1 as your talent knows no bounds (as with the canoe stencilling). I absolutely loved this video Kylie. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

[@caroletownson1525]

Options 2 for me I think. It’s certainly a lot more involved tile paint than the ones I’ve used here at home in Australia, after the cleaning just use the primer then 2 finish coats works really well 🤩

[@gretchenmarrufo8897]

I would choose Option 1 for your lovely bathroom. I think with your creative talent, it will look absolutely perfect!

For the set of stairs it's a long walk down so maybe you should have a break in between like to walk forward a bit then down the stairs again. 👍😊

Already excited for next week to see the result of all of your time and effort. Be sure to take some time for self-care in the meantime!

[@neomifeldman3553]

This comment relates to your video sharing how to keep ourselves joyful when life is difficult. Remind yourself that in this moment aside from our mind running away from us, we are OK. It’s our thoughts about a situation that make us feel awful. Also, regretting what we could or should have done differently in the past, is useless because we cannot control others choices or behaviors, it’s up to them how they behave and we have no control over it. So don’t waist time on something you can do nothing about. Like Kylee says: Put on the music, be in the moment and dance 💃

[@kathystaursky4063]

Oh wow Kylie! Can’t wait to see end result! Loooove the green. It goes beautifully with the wood tones and the brass fixtures. I think any option for stencils will look amazing but a mural along the largest wall would look spectacular! P.S. your Dad doesn’t look a day over 60! 😊

[@TheSerebable]

I agree. He looks so young!

[@mamajewelAmber]

Option 2 and my daughter and I think a whole wall mural is lovely!!! Love this project!!!

[@ShieldsSamantha]

I like Option 1, but would you consider using Option 3 as a border on the arched ceiling in green? I think the bath could also use a beautiful chair with some sort of embroidery. Very nice!

[@evelinetc5300]

Option 2! It is the most timeless and therefore matches the bones of the house the most, in my opinion! :)

[@patriciaharding7468]

Oh, Kylie! You are such a hard worker! I love to see your passion to realize your vision of what you want!

[@lorrilewis2178]

I am watching this from my metaphorical sick bed. I have Covid-19 and pneumonia. Thankfully, I have received monoclonal antibodies at my hospital ER. Kylie, I had to skip the part with you in the snow because I feel too cold. ha ha. Guido, please take care of your health. I have a friend with chronic HBP, and it led to him having a stroke in his sixties. Too soon. He partially, but not fully, recovered. He loved the wine a bit too much too.

[@joycestewart4893]

Love option 2. Understated but traditional for a farmhouse. I too am renovating a vintage house and endeavouring to keep it's spirit.

[@kaylaboo60]

Full bathroom mural free handed of course. It would just make it so unique & one of a kind

[@CelticSeer]

Well done…..very industrious….you are inspiring me to really Declutter my apartment. Wonderful parents….your Dad reminds me of my own, RIP. I vote Option #3, borders should be sufficient. Appreciate Guido’s honesty…..those 10 kilos are tough! He’s lucky to have you in his corner. 🌟✨💐👏🏻
