My Little Italian House Complete Renovation - 5 Years in 15 Minutes (lots of timelapse)

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

I had just left Italy when everything started closing down. My family and friends feared I would get stuck there. I was with my sister. My dear husband had passed ten months earlier. It was so heartbreaking. My trip there was part of my therapy. Then I found your videos, and I remember when you bought this property. I felt so happy for you. I still do. I've been traveling to Europe ever since he passed. It's what he told me to do. Your house looks terrific!!! I live in the tropics in the Caribbean. Thanks for entertaining me doing the worst part of my life. I am well now; moving ahead. I'm dreaming big dreams.

You have done an amazing and beautiful restoration and renovation of a sweet home. You should be so proud of yourself and the many family members and friends and artisans that have contributed to your vision on the way. That have believed in you and contributed to the vision you saw. This is yours, not an ancestor, ( yours or anyone else’s) but your vision. I have watched since you started airing this beautiful home. I have watch you lovingly restore and respect when you had to change anything. You have truly done such a beautiful job, you should be so proud. This was you, not anyone else, your vision. ❤️❤️❤️

[@julieinitaly]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@joshir1834]

I enjoyed watching all the renovations that you made. The decoration is unique;not a cookie cutter style, and I admire you for doing that. Such a lovely home in a beautiful Italian villa. 💗

[@robertmount2409]

Julie it has been so much fun watching you turn your little house into a beautiful home. Enjoy 😊

[@julieinitaly]

Thank you so much!

[@fairebianca]

Your Little Italian House videos always make my day. I have been following since you bought the house back during the pandemic. Thank you so much for taking us along!

[@julieinitaly]

Wow, thank you!

[@shannanfarrance5993]

Did you ever find out if the basement is yours?

[@lsoutherlandjennings9751]

Same question!

[@julieinitaly]

Yes!

Same question from me, too.

[@janetbreckon8211]

It has been a fun and informative journey with you, Julie. I am looking forward to new adventures around the countryside. 💖🙏🏻

[@carolchisholm433]

Living vicariously through your vlog. Congratulations. All the little touches are wonderful.

[@julieinitaly]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@cinwells7]

KZbin suggested this from day 1 because of your “I bought a house in Italy during a pandemic “ . I clicked on it and watched from the beginning of this journey! This led me to the Mapperton channel and I love it all! It was fun hearing your story of meeting and marrying Luke. It was fun learning you grew up in Northern Illinois as I grew up in Central Illinois, my husband grew up in Northern Illinois, and both sets of our parents grew up in different towns in Southern Illinois.

[@julieinitaly]

Thank you! New flea market vlog on Sunday 15th December!

[@ritawilkinson401]

So glad you found a beautiful home in Italy. You and Luke need a place you can relax and escape the exciting goings on at Mapperton for a few days ever so often. I love your videos, especially Mapperton -- I am Anglophile who lives in Virginia.

[@julieinitaly]

Thank you SO much!

[@mareebauckham9290]

[@FiammaTortoli]

Dear Julie I find first this Chanel about the renovation of this house and then I learn and follow the other channels. I am from Florence, I'm 66 and would like to buy a house in the north of Tuscany, near Sarzana, Carrara or Aulla. So one saturday at the beginning of October a take a ride with the car around and visit some of these beautiful villages on the hills between Apuane, Val di Magra and Lunigiana. And yes I go to Fivizzano too! It was the first time and I have to thank you so much because this is really a stunning borgo. I shooting a lot, the piazza, the church and I was so happy when walking around I suddenly see your adorable little house! ❤️❤️❤️ You are so an inspiration for all the positive energy and curiosity that you share always in your beautiful channels.

Beautiful renovation! Must be lovely to stay there. Have you considered a screen on the terrace for privacy?

[@evieshore3270]

It's just perfect.

[@norinewoodcock2447]

So delighted for you. It's amazing, I love all you've done but my favorite is the kitchen! Thanks for the final tour. Having watched through the process, I felt a bit of a sense of accomplishment as well.

Always love these updates!

[@janetshaffer687]

So beautiful great job

[@julieinitaly]

Thank you! 😊

[@LSTEdD1]

Wonderful recap! Congratulations on a beautiful job. I have often wondered if there was any reason why you couldn’t hang the laundry on the terrace. Others’ views etc.

[@jandooley5016]

well done julie

[@jzcintronify]

Congratulations! Beautiful home. My dream is to have a home in Italy, too.

You did a great job it looks so lovely.Whats the name of the city you moved to?My husband is Italian and I love Italy so much lots of love 😘

[@julieinitaly]

Thank you so much!

[@ceea1414]

Julie, can you do a review of all your outfits please. Love your clothing style, here in North AMERICA your style is called NYC Street Chic meets Malibu Soccer mom. Would love links to all your outfits. A dedicated fan from NYC and Montreal.

[@Rashmibhattachan]

Hi Julie what a beautiful transformation! Hats off to you and your team! btw since it's an old house, is there such a thing as "fear of asbestos" as they have here in the US? I bet there wasn't any hence one can see you all not wearing protective gear. Just curious if you did any of those research. Thank you!

[@Ana-Maria-Sierra]

I just delight so much in your perfect Italian house. Would you please share the square footage and sale price with us? ❤ Thank you! ❤

[@ariannabelliti7985]

Ciao Julie continuo a trovare disturbante il " motivetto musicale" che accompagna ogni tuo video. Meglio non usarlo e lasciare spazio alle tue descrizioni. Per quanto riguarda la casa ho apprezzato particolarmente la semplicita' del bagno e della camera con i 2 letti in ferro. Le altre stanze le ho trovate poco minimal e troppo sfarzose per i miei gusti. Sono una fanatica frequentatrici di mercatini dell'usato e spesso non riesco a trattenermi dal comprare e riempire la casa oltre misura. Comunque ti riconosco un certo stile anche se non corrisponde al mio e un equilibrio che risulta vincente a dispetto di certo british che non amo particolarmente. Sono una toscana. Benvenuta in Italia Julie

[@LisaMoo54]

Hi Julie. New subscriber here. How can we find out about renting your sweet, little Italian house? Is it on Air BnB, or would we rent it through your Mapperton website?

[@keithj3223]

Julie, What about the cellar underneath? Is it yours?

[@heatherfellows2675]

What happened to the day bed in the livingroom?

[@julieinitaly]

Still there!

[@patriceogrady9763]

We did not get to see the chair cushions in the kitchen or the horse hair chair redone!😭

[@julieinitaly]

happening now!

[@beckykukoski8678]

Are you going to hang that beautiful plate over the stove? It was the perfact finishing touch

[@julieinitaly]

Yes! Can't wait to get back!

[@karenclarke1778]

Julie, we didn’t get a good look at what you did with the bathrooms! 🚽

Hi Julie - can you spell IL Picolo Scrigno? Or is this the correct spelling?

How you manage to do so many vlogs?? Again this nice house🤔 We know every room allready🙄

[@lynda.grace.14]

What are you going to "do" in Italy now that you have nothing to "do" in your adorable little house? 5 to 1 odds it won't be rest...😴

[@julieinitaly]

head to flea markets of course!

[@Smileyfaceforever]

Julie, please stop repeating your videos! We have seen this numerous times. Love your stories and everything you share, but repeating your videos/stories is getting old.
