    I realize Julie has made much of her private life public, but I always thought my little internal query of "why does she keep saying 'my' Italian villa?", was crossing a boundary to muse aloud. But, it finally came to me. She, probably, wanted something of her own. Everything in Mapperton is from Luke's inheritance, and she doesn't get to say, "this is mine". Now she has that sense of ownership.

    I love how American you are and how extremely English your husband is😂🙌🏽 chef kiss

    The terrace is a delightful space❤ eating out with family and friends, making breakfast, read a book on an amaca... has no price
  • Your little house is such a sweet dream. Thank you for taking us on this adventure. I've enjoyed the process; the shopping, finding, coffee and lunch breaks, the laundry, and meeting the lovely people on the way! Oh, and the bathroom art is true genius, interesting, and pretty.

    The flea market finds are extraordinary. Julie has a wonderful eye. Perhaps part of it comes from all the knowledge she’s gained from all her work to maintain and rejuvenate Mapperton, and visiting/studying other country houses.

    I love the way you throw yourself into the hard work and make your vision come to fruition. You have done an amazing job. Complimenti!

    You are living the dream Julie. Thanks for taking us along with you.

    Beautiful. I'm happy to hear you want to keep the kitchen authentic to Italy. It IS sweet to see the old style. I had no idea how iconic it really is - I thought the old movies were exaggerating. Amazing. I want to stop by for coffee ☕ ♥

    Hi, Julie! I have a cousin that lives up in Scotland that has the most amazing pulley in her kitchen. I found one online (it's called a Pulleymaid) and the only thing I don't hang from it is laundry, but dish towels, wash rags, plastic bags, etc. that I don't want to run down to the basement to hang. Really convenient! It won't replace your veranda for hanging laundry, but will save you a trip up if it's a hand washed item.
  • Julie, I’m in awe of everything you’ve done to your beautiful little home .. it’s perfect !! Longing to see how you transform the terrace, and ultimately of course the kitchen. Deep down in my heart this is a dream I still have for my husband and I, but I fear we are getting too old to take on something like this. For now we will follow with anticipation what you’ll accomplish with your “little piece of Italian Paradise” ❤️
  • Hi Julie. American guy here that first knew you from “Ladies of London” which both my partner & I enjoyed. BUT … we adore you even more on both your Youtube channels. It is easy to see that you have found your true passion. Thank you for sharing!
  • Oh I absolutely love your Little Italian House. It is an absolute delight!!! 😃Xx
  • @kcsunnyone
    we use ceramic tiles which look like wood in SWFL due to humidity and easy cleaning too. generates no dust at all.
  • Followed the little Italian house from day one! I must admit, I wasn’t sure of the two color walls and now love them! It took the art work to make them pop and blend old and modern together. Can’t wait for the next project and more of your amazing village and outdoor cafes! Love Saturdays for the release of new videos on both of your channels❤️
  • I love Zodok the Priest! American here in Connecticut, British ancestry. They way Handel built that song to the crescendo gives me goosebumps everytime.Have a great time at the Coronation my friend. ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
  • How lovely! I'm so thrilled to see a beautiful makeover of a good old property!
  • Julie! Your piccola casa is amazing! I love that you have furnished it with secondhand treasures. It is so unique yet stylish. Can’t wait to see what you do on the terrace 😊
