We’re back with another video from the renovation of our abandoned Italian farmhouse.
In this episode – we build our own kitchen and then customise it with a custom paint colour. Ed’s brother cycles all the way from the UK to help with some decorating. We finally take the time to put together our living room and dining area. Plus our marble kitchen top arrives, and loads more stuff!!
We sold our apartment in Stockholm, packed up the car and headed for Piemonte. After a couple of months searching for the right house we came across Our Italian Dream House and immediately made an offer. Four weeks later (just three days before Christmas) we signed the contract and had the keys.
It’s now early 2022 and we have begun work on the epic renovation that stands before us. We are mortgage free and have a very limited budget so plan to take on as much of the renovation ourselves as possible – follow us on our journey as we turn an abandoned Italian farmhouse into our dream home.

Is the wall-paint latex based? I've wondered how that works with plaster walls and breathability. Looking good!!
Great to have an update; it looks lovely! Great colour!
I was waiting for this update!
That Lazer tool you talked about, do you have a link to it ?
Bello ragazzi, la casa si anima con la cucina…ciao!😁👋
Wowwwwwwwwww, you guys have come a long way, the kitchen looks sooooooooo good, you guys are doing an awesome job!! I am so happy for you guys, it's nice to have family to come and help, I hope you guys get water and electricity before Christmas. Either way, you guys have waited a long time, I know you guys will make everything work, such a dynamic couple, enjoy your the brothers visit and I am sure you will wine and dine him around and Merry Christmas in case we don't see you before then.
Love the green!
Love, love, love everything, you guys! It's looking fantastic! 🤩 "See" you on IG!
Well worth the wait for this (double?) episode 😊
Everything is beautiful from the cabinets, to the paint colors, to the tile floor. Loved the video, thanks for sharing.
Great work guys! Why no water yet??
Good job guys,
we missed you!
It looks amazing, but way to modern for a stone house.
Good to see you again! I really like the idea of continuing the green wall in the kitchen. Works really well with the white marble tops as light catcher.
The kitchen looks great, I wish you luck on getting water and power sooner than later! Maybe if you did a lighter green in the living room you will achieve the feel you are going for?
Define throwing reminds me of the movie under the Tuscan Sun!
Such a cute cute dog!
Well done. Looking good.
So good to see you again! Great teamwork ! Beautiful green color ! What is it call again ? Is it Farrow and Ball?
Hi guys!! You're doing well and the progresses are fast. Good job! Amazing choice with the Carrara marble (I've done the table of the kitchen with it).
Can't wait for the next one, you guys have come a long way and such amazing work. I binged watched all your videos because funny enough I was looking into buying a home in Italy myself (thanks youtube algorithm) this is very inspirational. Wish you guys the best of luck. Keep up the great work.
Found your vlog a few days ago and binged watched all of them. Fantastic work. Can't wait for the next one. Love from Toronto, 🇨🇦
Wow, the work you do is amazing!! Love that you follow your instincs with the colours on the walls. 🥰
