Where can I find your Mushroom Risotto recipe please, Julie?

I was told by a paint store manager, that when in doubt of trying to have a color transition from one room to another. Always choose a shade of green. Their explanation was that every flower has a green stem & leaves, no matter what color of the flower, so you just need to find the correct shade of green!

[@chiarafruncillo3491]

Congrats on the kitchen remodel! That room you found underneath the kitchen would be what Italians call 'la cantina'. It's the place where homemade wine is stored, those jugs are demi-johns for wine, cured meat would hang from the rafters like prosciutto and sausage and also storage for different types of produce. Almost every Italian home would have a Cantina!

[@samanthab1923]

So it’s definitely hers?

[@chiarafruncillo3491]

My personal opinion is that YES it would be part of her property!

[@alanjameson8664]

A root cellar (among other things).

I love Julie’s indefatigable spirit. I also married a Brit, and I was by default perceived as the “enthusiast” of the family, but I think Julie is a gift to her family-a breath of fresh air. I enjoy these AV videos and the Mapperton ones, too.

The kitchen is going to look great. Just keep in mind that the carrara will stain if you get tomato/beetroot/oil/wine on it. There are some sealers that you can use, but often Italians just let life happen, and it will just tell a story. That cantina is a fabulous find. If it were yours, I would consider if access from the house could be possible.

So why there is no a word after this about the cantina???. Have l miss something?

[@cjpowers9330]

The floor I chose for my remodeled kitchen was an Italian porcelain tile that mimicked slate and I absolutely love it. And I too looked for old tiles for my back splash, but as I live in the United States those amazing tiles you can find in Europe are just not available. I looked on the internet for old Canal House delft tiles from the Netherlands and found so many I just loved. However, I just couldn’t afford them. So I found someone who decorated modern tiles and had her copy the antique time design. The difference was $300.00 vs $7000.00. The new tiles don’t have that more primitive rough edges, but my husband is an engineer. They seem to all be obsessed with level and 90 degree angles. Lol it all worked out for the best.

[@constancewhite6906]

I am so excited for you!!!! The new kitchen finds: the tiles, the flooring, the sink. AND the basement - wow

[@lorihogue5015]

That marble sink is AMAZING !!! Your cellar is a fantastic bonus space as well. Great video. I love traveling vicariously through your channel. Grazia mille 💖

[@MoonlightSonata214]

I'm laughing a little because in showing the tiles, Malcolm said "splashback, for American people" and Julie was so busy cooking she didn't notice... but from the Americans here, it's "backsplash." 😘 You will never, never ever get tired of the sage green paint. I look forward to seeing the finished kitchen and finind out whether any parts of the current one will be kept.

[@terrischnabl4095]

That’s ok Malcom. We all I knew what you meant.

[@CBEEBLE]

Malcolm @ 14:13 referred to “splashback” U.K. but then qualified “backsplash” for U.S. The two terms are interchangeable depending on whether you’re a Brit or an American.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Me too!!

[@queens6583]

I love watching your Italian house renovations. I cannot believe that basement area you found and I hope it belongs to you. How would you access it? Is there a door in your house or an entry door outside the house? The kitchen is where everyone will gather so I imagine you'll need a table big enough for your family and a few guests. Maybe a couple of comfortable chairs near the far end of the room. Malcolm has a lovely sense of humor and style. So exciting!

[@AmericanViscountess]

I hope so too! Access through door next to house. X

[@Loops25]

I love all your choices. That shop was just out of this world. Those terracotta pots! The paint sample shown was more of an olive, I thought, rather than a light sage/aqua. However, maybe that’s just the way it came across on screen. All looks great. Very exciting plans!

[@nlsellers2]

[@angela64355]

Hello Julie, you don’t have to dig up the old kitchen tiles, just put the new tiles on top of the old ones. If you have any doors at ground level, all you have to do is call in a carpenter to ‘shave’ ( shorten ) shorten the length. We’ve done the same in our Home in Italy and it has worked out perfectly ! Less costly and less messy…..good luck.

[@cherin6703]

Oh my gosh that discovery of the cellar!! How incredibly exciting! I can't wait to watch the journey of the kitchen remodel and I simply have to visit that place with all the terra cotta pots and the tiles even if I can't afford anything :) Those pots are so expensive here in the US. Thank you so much for sharing your little Italian house with us.

I was thinking, a sink like her grandmother used. ACME came to mind. Beep! Beep! Yes, the company that made everything ordered by W. E. Coyote for many things. The funny part, they still make kitchenettes and other things, not just supply everything for the Loony tunes.

[@28105wsking]

Julie,, my new apartment has a stone tile floor in the kitchen. It is FREEZING COLD all the time, even on NC 80 degree plus days! The suggestion to put heating under the floor is a really good one, I think. This floor is miserable on my bare feet in the middle of the night and on the way in for breakfast. Awful! Such a shock to ye olde bodee ! And its cold and dampish on rainy days. Hate it. But easy to sweep and mop!
