Kylie I had originally picked on Instagram the blue tile however.... after seeing the soft pink/crimson against the terracotta and the stone in the bathroom i think it looks so much softer and warmer against the other tones in the bathroom. Also thank you so much for taking the time to edit the subtitles, I'm learning Italian and really love listening to you talk while reading the subtitles to help me as I learn.

[@rnggall9640]

I thought the same. so subtle and warm. Blue is my favorite color but this room rosa

[@Justeet]

Same here!

[@Emma-kb1qw]

Same here

[@sambawomen]

The red tiles are so much warmer and relaxing, with the hexagonal terracotta floor and stone walls saranno bellissime 👌👌

[@KylieFlavell]

Maybe you’re right. ♥️

[@desiraeriddick3005]

I completely agree! I can only imagine how beautiful it’d be when the sun hits the red tile. I also vote for the hexagonal flooring. Beautiful video, Kylie.

[@anna_m59]

I like the cinnamon as well…

[@elisaleal8010]

Completely agree with you! The hexagonal floors would look divine plus the red tiles.

[@Sandy-zr5hs]

It’s like a dream watching your channel, everything is just beautiful and oozing class, you really don’t need our advice choosing things for the home as you have the knack of picking gorgeous things, but for what it’s worth the rose tiles and square for the floor would be my choice! 🪴

[@writeract2]

That's a great recipe - you are truly something of a wonder in this world - I have never seen anyone much less a young person make EVERYTHING by hand including actual olive oil from their own olives, homemade pasta, vegetables and herbs grown in their own garden, it is truly miraculous in this world full of garbage poison food they are feeding everyone and plastic, thank God you live like this. God bless you and Guido on your new addition.

[@nadenegordon7639]

As much as I love blue, I think the crimson looks beautiful with the stone and more romantic. Good luck! 🙂

[@2Sugarbears]

I agree. Who knew?

[@anamaria2053]

Agreed

[@lovelifementoring5399]

The rose colour for sure 👌 The pesto looks amazing and I agree totally your wife is absolutely beautiful 😍 🥰

[@pattim9617]

I love the warm rose color tile with the stone wall. I would have normally gone for the blue but the rose is so calming. I would pick the least busy floor tile so as not to distract from the stone and tile on the wall. The sink is beautiful. So glad you found someone to cement your floor. I love watching all your videos, they are so relaxing. Take care of yourself during Italy’s heat wave. 💕

[@petersonglen]

When I see your green lush garden it's set against a backdrop of terracotta colored dirt...very natural and pretty. So happy to see you looking so well.

[@taramcdonough3599]

@@KylieFlavell Hi Kylie, be careful watering your garden at night because you can end up with a fungus on your plants. Best to water in the AM (say 8-9 am) because the plants will get the water then the sun will dry off the leaves & top soil so no fungus grows. But, if you do decide to continue to water at night and do end up with a fungus (hopefullly not) there are natural remedies to stop the fungus that you can most likely find on you tube. Hopefully the heat wave will break soon for you & all of Europe! (ps I love blue but, love the red tile with your stone floor choice. Both are beautiful and both will look amazing in your new bathroom which ever you choose) 🍒🍎❤

sono daccordo

The red with brass would be beautiful! I think the hexagon shape would be best. Good luck with everything. Love to you both and your little "bean"

[@indirajane]

The sink is so gorgeous! I think it would look dreamy with the blue tiles and I would use the red tile in another room.

I can watch the first minute over and over . Actually I did! So beautiful. The sounds of nature, the beautiful shots of you picking basil. Awww so soothing and relaxing. I miss the sounds of roosters.

Hi Kylie were in the business of videography and photography here in Toronto Canada .. and know how much it takes to put together what you do …we love your filming the music is spot on and your editing is beautiful…congratulations to you and Guido on your pregnancy your a beautiful couple God Bless you in all you do ❤️

[@KylieFlavell]

Thanks so much. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 A few people ask why it takes so long or can’t imagine why I have to work so late at night but as you know, some days, even getting all the mics charged, doing audio tests with different wind, recording ambient sounds separately, doing lens changes with different changing light, waking up three hours early to drone without harsh sun, finding royalty-free music to purchase, colour grading each individual clip in a half-hour episode… it all stacks up! Although I do love it.

[@kathleenclark5877]

I came to this vlog late. I love all of the choices that confront you. That sink is stunning. Although many have said the crimson, I say the blue. It is crisp and clean and you will find tons of wonderful blues in fabric and such. The crimson with the terracotta will just blend in together while the blue provides a fresh contrast. Your pesto recipe is so tempting. I admire the care that you take when you are preparing a meal just for you and Guido. I am so enjoying the process through which you home is finding its rustic roots.

[@leandragoytizolo4260]

The red is beautiful and works beautifully with the floor. It looks better for the countryside. The blue gives me more beach vibes.

[@janacabana1]

Kylie Darlin, thank you for this gorgeous video❣️❣️. I so appreciate your attention to detail with a LOVELY romantic table setting. Italian linens are THE BEST and I’m addicted to collecting them. I especially liked how you combined the rattan placemats on the white linen and those lanterns!!! Sophia Loren said, “ Cultivating beauty is a form of respect for those we love”. You do that daily……Seeing those soft red tiles confirms my earlier choice. And I agree with some other comments about keeping the floor tiles simple and letting the hand-painted tiles & brass be the stars. 🌟✨💫

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you. It means so much to me that you notice these details. I really have always found that even when eating alone for years, taking time to make my dining table beautiful is such a form of catharsis and, as you say, communicates to my subconscious that every meal is a gift and to be respected with time and attention to detail. 🥰🍽

[@mareebauckham9290]

Both tiles are beautiful, but, I think the red looked more ‘at home’ with the stone and terracotta. Either way, your bathroom will look gorgeous. 3 months until baby arrives! Wow, so exciting!!

[@indiamunoz610]

I loooove the sink, I think the hexagonal terracota floor tiles would look really beautiful in the bathroom and since its already in another place in the house it can perfectly tie back to that, also my favorite between the blue and the crimson its, without a doubt, the blue, feels so fresh with the stone and the terracota floors, so airy and beatifull and relaxing, love what you are doing! Can´t wait to see more episodes! lots of love!

[@firstmate015]

The crimson is my choice now that I've seen the total and grand design. You choose what YOU like as you have to live with it forever. Balsimo. I love your way of making the pasta and the zucchini with the basil looks devine. You are so fit as a fiddle. You will be in your tiny clothes in no time after the little bean arrives. So glad your floor is being done. The sink is pure perfection. Love it!

[@maggiemae1510]

Hi Kylie, I think I prefer the faded crimson because you've done white and blue before, something different and very complimentary with the floor tile. I would keep a simpler shape for the floor tiles since the walls will already have a strong pattern. Best of luck with your renovation and happy that your having a healthy pregnancy!

[@mtilford]

I agree!

[@marthaizaguirre6363]

Another gorgeously crafted story from my favorite vlogger! I live in Honduras without A/C and keep frozen small hand towels in the freezer to put around my neck for a quick cool down on steamy days. Glad to see you're drinking lots of water. Hope you're taking naps as well. I vote for faded red.🤗❤

[@maryschlotter108]

At almost six months you look wonderful ! I so enjoy your healthy cooking and your beautiful vlogs. I feel like a little child again sitting in the kitchen watching my grandmother ( from Bari) cooking. It’s not easy having heat waves while pregnant take good care. While I am drawn to blue most every time when I saw the crimson tile placed against the walls and the natural light I think I prefer the crimson. The sink is so beautiful. I can’t wait to see the progress! I can’t decide on the floor tile shapes …. Maybe the hexagon? Thank you again for a beautiful trip to the lovely Tuscan countryside.

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

I love all of the blue green spectrum for things but I’m actually drawn to the crimson tile, I also LOVE the sink you chose. 💖 hexagonal tiles for the bathroom 💖

[@KylieFlavell]

Yes, I’m the same! Hence my indecision! Glad you like the sink!

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

@@KylieFlavell the sink is gorgeous, we’ve just renovated our kitchen, dining & lounge. I went farmhouse style fine fireclay sink and Tuscan profile door fronts, Lee wasn’t convinced at first as he’s very minimalistic and monochromatic (flat surfaces in grey tones) but now that it’s all together he loves it, even my sink with brushed brass tap. I did keep the grey tones which is classic and kept him happy but I’m hoping he can see my vision and let me have my filigree tiles for the bathroom floors. 🤞🏻

[@beabriggs9001]

Lovely as always, it's 6:30 AM here on the East Coast of USA. The tiles are lovely but the design makes me think they should be set in a diamond pattern, rather than a square. The direction of the fleur-de-lis (or what ever it is) is directional.I think if I sat in a tub looking at them I would want them pointing up- No? I am a huge fan of Blue, but it might be too blue & the crimson looks more in the earth tones. Grazie mille for your artist eye & sharing your beautiful corner of the world.

Kylie, I immensely enjoy your content. The countryside, the music, the renovations, your cooking, the videography … all works so beautifully with you kind voice. I couldn’t sleep last night so I binge watched your recipes. You made a comment in one of them about wondering if you were stating something about cooking that was too basic and may offend people. For me my distant friend (in spirit) I welcome even the most basic instructions. I never learned to cook. Was never taught. Now at 48 years of age I am learning and thoroughly enjoying it. I actually find it therapeutic. However, I recognize I do make mistakes the average cook would likely giggle at 😆 Anyway, thank you so very much for your content. So lovely 💕

Hi Kylie and Guido, So glad the cement got poured on that dangerous flooring and I pray that's enough to make it safe! The tiles are so beautiful, me too, I like the crimson! Little by little things are evolving, remember; "Rome wasn't built in a day!" Love the delicious pasta dish, it's a good idea to add zucchini to the pesto, can't wait to try it! Guido looks so handsome in his medieval costume! I enjoyed the dialogue too, as I am half Italian, living in Ceyreste, France, my Grandfather was born in Avelino and came to America, where he met my Grandmother, making me a fouth generation Italian, and citizen of Naples! Thank you, it's music to my ears! You look wonderful and so healthy!

Wow, Kylie that was mouth-watering pesto and I hope you are managing to stay cool in the crazy temperatures.

Love hearing you talking in Italian and a perfect start to my Saturday! Thank you and good luck with finding builders: very glad the floor is being sorted in the bathroom in the meantime!

This is such a rich episode and I imagine there was a lot of footage to go through, thank you for the late night editing Kylie, the result is great! It was posted just on time for me to enjoy it while having lunch; pasta with homemade Pesto and Proscuitto! It reminded me of my last trip to Italy. I went to Rome 10 days ago and indeed the heat wave was real ! You look stunning, I am glad you and the baby are feeling good and that you are both active now ;) Calcio storico what a fun pick into this florentin tradition! I remember reading about it last year while preparing my trip to Florence. Have a good week-end and see you next week with hopefully some more good news about the bathroom =) Quick note about the tiles, I was one of the few who selected the red tiles because it feels very rich and different from what you did in your other bathrooms renovations. I guess that the richness of the ground with the Terracotta floor will complement well the tiles and you will have a very warm and comforting color scheme which will be terracotta, red/pink/crimson, creme (stone from the double sink and probably the seals between the stones on the wall) and finally the brass from all the bathroom fixtures. Hope it can help you make the decision ;)

[@lindap6150]

Kylie what a beautiful episode! Thank you for working so hard on the editing, you are so dedicated and appreciated!! The crimson is rich and warm against the terracotta, feels like a Sicilia or rustic Toscana color!! "100 years of footsteps" such a creative and beautiful comment. Take care both of you.

It’s so interesting that when you were showing the floor tiles, there was a blue rug and in another sample a chair with a blue seat cushion, both of which look lovely as the blue compliments the tile and vice versa. My pick is still blue, complimentary colours with the terracotta, it’s cool and serene. However, if you choose the warmer tone on tone look of the red tile, some blue glass bottles, blue throw rug, towels etc might be gorgeous too 😉. A veritable feast for the senses whichever you choose, just like your vlogs!

With the little bean coming I prefer the blue as it has more contrast with the terracotta, great pesto recipe 🌺

[@jeanninef2110]

I do like the crimson tile, after all! At first I thought the blue....but now....the crimson looks best with the type of floor! And I love the hexagon tiles! And that sink is gorgeous!

[@michellewilliams8878]

I am so happy for you both! Guido is just perfect for you. Thank you for the beautiful lesson, can't wait to try it. Love to you!

Thank YOU

I do like the reddish/soft pink/crimson coloured tiles when Guido put them up against the stone walls, looked so beautiful and more subtle then the blue. I can picture them with some beautiful white or cream coloured towels. Pasta looked amazing. Thank you for the recipe, so easy to do. The stone sink you chose was also lovely too. So happy you were able to get some help with your renovation. Pesto looked fabulous. Our weather in Canada where I live today was 37 degrees and you reminded me as I watched your video I must go out and water my plants. Making apple crisp as I write this with some apples that had started to go soft in the fridge. My home smells like apples and cinnamon. And my air conditioning is going.

I prefer the crimson color !!!!! Mimics the true stone floors in the old homes

Love you speaking Italian - you speak very clearly. Please keep doing it ❣️

[@maryschafer3161]

Kylie I really like the red tile and the square shaped terracotta for the floor. They're both beautiful so you can't go wrong. Thank you for another beautiful episode!

[@lauratonelli7875]

Guido is very lucky to have you prepare all these wonderful meals. I love how you show off your growing belly, you are the prettiest pregnant lady I’ve seen! Another amazing video. Love and peace from New Jersey💙💙

Hello Kylie, you and Guido look fabulous and healthy. Love your video’s so much! You are a doll and a gorgeous mom to be! I love the soft red tile , they are little pieces of art! Hope you have luck in finding workers. I live just south of Boston and have been waiting for a carpenter to do work for over a year. I feel your pain! Stay safe and healthy and continue to enjoy each other’s company! Lots of love from Boston.

i like the rusty colored tiles with the terracotta - but everything is beautiful there - baby is coming too - lovely

[@wilke238]

E' bellissimo l'accento di Guido, " .. pe' 'aricarli come si 'aricano?...", puro toscano! : -) Great!

[@womenendorsed5905]

Consider that in bathrooms and bedrooms peach, soft reds, and pinks are very complimentary to skin tones. It creates a rosy warm glow to your skin and therefore is wonderful where nakedness is happening! The pink/crimson is spectacular in a subtle way and will become part of the room where the blue will stand out... I think you'll look and feel more beautiful surrounded by the pink/crimson tiles.

[@leahhamdaoui7755]

such a wholesome idyllic life you and your lovely husband live. Thanks for sharing it all with us you two lovelies !!! 🍀✨🦘🙏

[@brandypowell2535]

Sweet Kylie, I love your cinematography. The music is the cherry on top. I know you went to great lengths in explaining why we can't download the music you use. Would you ever consider doing a music compilation video with all the beautiful music you have used in your past videos? You could just show the view out your window on a loop while the music plays! The longer the better! I know people would come back to it and watch it over and over again! Please Please consider it! Your viewers ache longingly for it! Much love to you and Guido and baby! We are so happy that all your dreams are coming true!
