    Wow, they dug up the flowers too? So, they leave all of their belongings in and around your home for months, and they come back finally just to dig up the flowers? I don't even know what to say about that level of pettiness. Here in the US, there are somethings that convey with a property, and landscaped items should be among those things. But your house is looking SO gorgeous and it's really coming together. I absolutely LOVE the Tuscan vlogs, and I can't wait to see how it all comes out! 😊❤🏵

    UNBELIEVABLE! The fact that Carlo moved all of their stuff to one location is generous enough..... but then to come back (obviously without warning) collect the stuff and then TAKE MORE and DIG UP PLANTS!!! Grrrr...... (I hope you have their current details in case anything else goes missing.) I can't remember if you have changed the locks but I would be doing that pronto. People with that much sense of entitlement will stop at nothing, especially if they have seen how nice you are making the property. Perhaps some simple home security could be installed so that you can monitor the property when you are not living there and/or out for the day. At the very least, they owe YOU a lovely gift for looking after their things and being so gracious about it. I'm very sorry you had to endure this.

    Nikki and Carlo, I would not let the former owners on your property again. I have never heard of such behavior as taking plants out of the ground and taking whatever they want. Time to put your feet down. What they have not taken they do not get period and the end. I am sorry but this makes my blood boil. Here in the US you could not get away with such behavior when you buy a property. I love the new kitchen and think it looks beautiful.

    I guess things are different in Italy. Here in Canada, your real estate agent makes sure that all plumbing fixtures, hard wired lighting, kitchen cabinets, plants in the ground and window coverings are included in the contract of sale. Everything not removed by closing is considered abandoned and can be disposed of by the new owners - none of this storing things for months or coming back to dig up plants. Nicki and Carlo are incredibly forbearing and patient.

    They had an agreement where they could leave some things in the house and come back later to collect them. It is also not "trespassing" and "theft" if you have the owners' permission to enter a property and take things that belong to you. As far as I understand, they didn't sneak in or take anything away without their consent.

    This is Very Common throughout Italy & some other countries. Nicky wasn’t aware of this because she’s from England where this doesn’t happen. Carlos on the other hand being born in Italy should have known. Positano the houses are built into the hillsides so usually Everything is included in the sale of the house, furniture, etc is even sold with the house there so Carlos may not have known about the Rest of Italy

    Well that's one way of getting the pots you want. I can't believe the past owners came and helped themselves to your plants. You stored their junk, plus you baby sat their turtle for a couple of months and this is the thanks you get. Unbelievable, how some people go through life. Since the internet, people can't really hide from their bad behaviour. One just needs to look at the news to see what ugly, dirty people the elites are. Anyway good job on your plant and container selection. They make the entrance to your home much more captivating. Your kitchen also rocks. I love the farmhouse vibe you are creating and your views on that hill are stunning as are the sunsets. I think you and Carlos bought a little gem in need of some TLC. Seeing the way the two of you work, you'll have that picture, postcard perfect in no time. 🌄☀

    I can’t believe what the previous owners did, it beggars belief. If they have anything left in your shed I would tell them it’s all at the end of the driveway so they don’t have to come on your property again. On a different note your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous, the cabinets are superbly made, and the paintwork is spot on. ❤

    Everything turned out better than I could have imagined. Your cabinet maker is a true artist. Color & hardware are perfect match with the dusty rose/peach walls. I love the seating arrangement in the living room. Everything came together. Your Charity Shop drapes pull it together. The desk is a good idea too. Handy for bills & correspondence. Some artwork for the walls & you’ll be set. Maybe a coffee table. Love the outside planters 🪴🌷🌻

    Now that we see what Nicki wanted for the kitchen wall, perhaps the commenters won't judge her so harshly. Nicki has an artists mind and the wheels were turning when she first saw Carlo's "surprise". Speaking of Carlo, I am so glad they decided to leave in his comments of admiration for his wife. We know they love each other, but expressing an appreciation for her physique after many years of marriage enhances the love.

    Indeed ! Viewers are so unfairly critical of Nikki and choose to ignore how incredibly hard working she is and what an equal partnership she & Carlo share . Women need to support and validate each other much MUCH more . The old Chinese saying “ Women hold up half the sky ; the heavy half “ needs to be shouted from the rooftops so our daughters and grandies learn to value and support ea other better than women do today . Carlo obviously enjoys keeping busy so he is indulging a passion & hobby ea day & not simply being a slave . Let’s support BOTH

    Nikki We are in love with your new kitchen. Only in Italy would you be cooking for the crew while they are installing the cabinets and sink.🤣😂Nice try Carlo with the PINK BACK SPLASH, but leave the decorating to Nikki. It is so wonderful that you can build and create her image of a truly beautiful space…You two make a very compatible team. The terracotta urns are stunning. It’s extremely exciting to watch your Tuscan home becoming a reality. As far as the previous owners are concerned we strongly believe in the law of karma. “All actions have consequences which will affect the doer of the action at some future time”. You and Carlo have been extremely patient, tolerant and kind throughout the process of purchasing this property. Good fortune will be coming your way…❤️
