    I love that Carlo is doing things when the wife is gone. He's putting his own stamp on the house and he's being creative all on his own. LOVE IT - keep it up Carlo!!!! The porch turned out amazing. The chairs..I would paint the wood and change the covers and add pillows. This is a perfect lesson to all of us that we need to let go of control and let others flourish in their own way vs our way.

    It's Carlos first house that is really his, same for Nicki? The house in Positano, I think is owned by his family? The low wall turns the covered terrace into a beautiful, cozy surround. It looks like it was there forever. Nicki, maybe just a little controlling? Ya theenk? Just redo the cushions, maybe refinish the wood? So gratifying for Carlo, he can get things done without the old lady trying to boss him around.

Nicki is a very lucky lady, a man who can do seemingly just about anything he sets his mind to. Carlo is an artist, Bravo Carlo, much respect, and love to you and Nicki in your LA Dolce Vida!

    I have to say @NickiPositano I am very impressed by the viewer engagement on this video. Quite the hornet’s nest and a very clever way to get the viewers commenting and communicating. True, it has come at your expense, however I appreciate your courage at sharing your lives so openly and honestly. There are countless perfectly curated and overly positive KZread videos which often show only the highlights reel of a life but your lives in these videos are documented in ways many long lasting couples can relate to. We’re all capable of each and every trait and while positive comments have gone Carlo’s way I have no doubt the sweetest and softest part of Nicki is reserved for him, not to people please viewers. Dig deeper people, there’s a reason it works and let’s not be so judgemental that we end up losing this unique window into a life well lived.

    You two crack me up. When the cat's away the mice will play. When Carlos leaves the handrail disappears, and when Nicky's away the patio furniture appears. I think used and refurbished outdoor furniture is ideal because no matter what you spend, the weather always degrades it and it has to be replaced. This way you don't have to spend a fortune every time. I think with a coat of outdoor paint, maybe a sage green and a lighter color green cushion, you could add throw pillows with splashes of terra cotta and green and you will have a lovely, cozy, outdoor space. That little housewares store you visited had some great ideas. Love your videos. Caio for now.

    The dynamics of a couple are unique to them. Obviously, Nicki and Carlo have been together for many years, and they will be together and in love for a thousand more. How they interact works for them, and not only, how they interact is the mechanism that makes them as a couple/a family flourish and grow and be successful AND happy 360 degrees. If you don't like how they are, leave and go work on your own problems. As far as I'm concerned, Nicki and Carlo are both fabulous and complement each other perfectly.

    I’m sure Nicki is not “mad” at all…just joking a bit about things that got done or purchased differently than they BOTH agreed. There is this phenomenon that other women try to remind you of how wonderful your husband is, almost shaking a finger at you to pay attention before they snatch him up, when you know perfectly well he’s a gem and you do appreciate him. My husband and I owned a business together. We could both be working equally hard and other women would “coo” over him constantly and talk about all that he did, and overlook my equal contributions.

    After reading so many comments in here and watching the video...its a no brainer, Nicki is clearly a control freak...I understand some would say you shouldnt judge or take this personal but there are so many comments in her videos, some subtle and some very blunt...We as viewers also have the right to assume or even judge because remember when you post an edited version we see what is edited and chosen by Nicki ...So Nicki you should let go and let Carlo design and use his own imagination...Even if its not what you want...i see and hear a lot of "i i i " in your videos especially when you feel and think you're loosing control over a situation, you've said it in your video/s...I also hear a lot less "us or we" ..Unfortunately as a long time subscriber and your viewer i sadly have to judge based on what ive been watching for a long long time...

    No, don’t waste valuable time and money bc it’s always going to be a sow’s ear …… it’s wrong, wrong, wrong . Plastic heavy looking granny wood w no redeeming features whatsoever . Unfair of Carlo to do this after they passed on buying it twice already . Passive aggressive and hardly in the spirit of fair play to pull a stunt like that . Guess the junk shop was delighted to get rid of it after all this time 😅

    Wow...there are some really strong comments here. Overall, I wish some of your viewers would employ a little more humor and a lot less judgment in their assessments; especially regarding your relationship. As married partners, I assume you both recognize each others strengths and weaknesses.I actually find it refreshing that you both are so "real" on screen, when so many feel they have to put on a facade. It's not unusual for couples to delegate and divide overall aesthetic design vs. other types of contributions when renovating a home. With both of your efforts, the house is really becoming very charming. The porch wall is a stroke of genius! Looking forward to next week's video!

    You are so fortunate to have Carlo who can do so many things and he does have an eye for decorating and designing. The furniture he bought I rather like, its vintage and if you change the cushions first then see how you like it, you might just add some outdoor throw pillows to give it a little more rather than painting the beautiful dark wood, which I find actually goes well with the wall color - which you mentioned you will be painting the house a shade lighter than. Don't be disturbed by Carlo doing things without you, we don't always need to be in control, but embrace that he actually has an eye and vision that can melt in with yours.

    Once the cushions are reupholstered they will be beautiful. My parents have that set in their porch and it’s so comfy. My mom chose a beautiful floral fabric and you focus on the pattern of the fabric and don’t notice the wood color. Add gorgeous pillows and a pretty throw and it will be perfect.

I now live in France. The chairs need a coat of paint, maybe a lovely sage green, new covers and cushjons. Good buy at this price. Well done !

    Reading these comments today, thru Nicki's ( and even Carlo's eyes) is making me sad. Imagine having ur channel and ev1 is praising ur partner and berating you??? She's filming, editing, shopping for a new home, renovating, painting, being a mommy to 3, a lover to Carlo, cooking, cleaning, exposing a part of her life to THE PEANUT GALLERY😂 It can't be easy!!! We all know Carlo LOVES Nicki! A LOT!!!! So he's not going to be thrilled about mean comments either, even if those comments paint him as the Adonis and she as medusa or whatever. He loves her so much these comments hurt him too. I dont know Nicki but I GET her. She reminds me of me in some way which is what attracted me to the channel in the first place Let's be kind She doesnt always show Carlo in a bad light, so all we see for the most part is him being the GOAT. Obviously like longterm relationships where 2 ppl love each other, u will have fights or ppl who are comfortable being honest with their likes/dislikes The camera rolling makes ppl act slightly different also. My 2 cents is getting very long tho I, as an empath, could say more about the sense I get, suffice it to say Nicki and Carlo, you are loved May God strengthen your bond, may you enjoy your lives wherever u are, whatever u do. Your videos over the years have done a lot to brighten our days and awaken the adventurer in a lot of us. Love on each other like it's 1999!!!!!!🤗❤❤❤❤ Love from Philadelphia🌻

Many thanks for kindly sharing what you're doing with all of us! Both of you showing your chores, your meals and your creative ideas in both home & garden is like a weekly invitation to see good friends. I will be leaving for the Amalfi Coast in two days & found you six weeks ago when researching a trip to Ischia. Since then I've treated myself to an episode a day, they're all so uplifting and I learn something with each one. I'm 68, was widowed at 40 & lost each of my parent's & a sibling in the past two years, my family is gone now, so it's been a true gift to me to be allowed to visit your life together and see how you both deal with what life presents you. Don't doubt yourself, your message or your presentation - you're a glimpse of a lovely life for everyone & I for one am grateful for you both! May your adventures never cease!
