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! 😊❤🏵

Also, may every woman find a man to compliment and love her the way Carlo does Nicki! I love how his love language is both acts of service and beautiful words of affection. ❤

The previous owners are getting on my nerves with all the liberties they are taking 😡 I admire your patience and calmness through it all, I love how you don’t let their nonsense distract you from the happy times in your new home ❤🙏

Your new kitchen and living space just oozes “Tuscany villa” vibe. I love all the colors. Serenity, joy, peace and love; it’s all there. That last sunset shot would make a beautiful painting.

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.

I’m glad you’ve been relieved from the tortoise responsibility. You should have charged them for pet sitting them!

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.

Came to the comments to make sure everyone else is as outraged about the previous owners digging up plants and being a nuisance as I am...... I think we all are on the same page.

You have the patience of Saints when it comes to the previous owners.

Here in the US what the previous owners did is illegal. Trespassing and theft. They have so much nerve! They sold the house and all the affixed chattel! They used you for free storage while they took their time! Let's not focus on them anymore. You have done an amazing job restoring your beautiful home. I was so excited to see you had posted your kitchen renovation.

The new kitchen has completely changed your home. I love the washed effect of the paint Nikki. I believe the pink undertone from what Carlo did first added to the paint tones. So I will give kudos to Carlo as well for the paint.

I love how excited Nikki is. She’s like a kid in a candy store!

Wow about those former owners. I hope they took everything that they wanted and you are done with them, You are so tolerant. ❤

When you were moving the sofa and were struggling, all I could think of was: "PIVOT-PIVOT-PIVOOOOOOT "(Friends) . I like the bloopers at the end, it was funny to see Carlo lose his temper a little bit, usually you don't see that side of him and you seem to be the feistier one!!! The views from your house are A-MA-ZING!!!!

The whole "Vibe" of your house has vastly improved... because now NICE people are living there!

The color of wall is brilliant, in fact Carlo deserves a thank you for the quasi mess up. The previous owners are what we call, CAFFONI 😢 I adore the color scheme for the plants and flowers as well. La Cucina e perfetta ❤

The new kitchen is absolutely gorgeous!!!

I just have to say that I would not allow the former owners back on your property to take whatever they want, unless that was in the sale contract, If not in contract then to bad for them. Hopefully the former owners don't come back and take your beautiful pots and plants and your kitchen is just beautiful and love how you white washed the walls looks so old world.

I wasn't sure about this house with the previous owners being so sketchy, a troublesome sale and the overall look of the property in general but you and carlo have really pulled it together. that kitchen is amazing!

The last part was my favourite - of your very real selves, as you were putting together the kitchen - so Italian, so beautiful!!! ❤ Everything is looking so good! I think it was very much worth the cost of getting made-to-order kitchen cabinetry! The terracotta vases outside look fantastic with the plants! Buon lavoro, bravissimi! 👏👏👏

I LOVE it all!! Nikki and Carlo, you’ve taken this diamond in the rough and made it beautiful inside and outside. Hope the previous owners are gone for good now. You’ve been so patient with them.

I don't understand how the previous owners still have such comfortable access to your house!?!?!?!

Gorgeous! The color in your kitchen is absolutely perfect. I am really loving the Tuscan renovation. And the plants...and the terra cotta pots & vases. All I can say is "WOW"!

Just really love how you are transforming your lovely villa, into such a beautiful tasteful home. The kitchen is perfect and love the colour of the units and painted walls. Outside is lovely , the pots etc etc love it all. Well done you two, you work so hard, to get it right.

Thanks for the comical ending. Your home looks amazing and was only upstaged by the incredible sunset. I really like the pots/vases you selected and it was so smart to just plop the potted plants in them rather than adding soil.

Holly The Helper! Such an adorable little girl, the real star of the show! So cute, always there with you, to give a kiss to Poppa, or take a nap next to the spot where the new kitchen is being setup. Literally climbing or going down 500 steps, climbing mountains on deadly dangerous narrow trails. Braving deer. squirrels, rabbits, wild boar, goats, sheep, donkeys, cats, Indie! In her relentless pursuit of the cuteness. I find it completely adorable and charming that you take your dogs almost everywhere with you. Dogs, any pets are so powerful in a couples relationship. They are pure happiness, and fill your home with their unconditional love and joy.

The kitchen it is beautiful. I really love it. Great work Nikki and Carlos. Lots of best wishes. Thank you sharing. The beauty in Italy. 💕🌸

Just a suggestion. You will need a handrail for the stairs, as all stairs must have that. Carlo likes the handrail. Let him put it in place again, and then you buy beautiful curtains, for example white linen, and hang them as a dividing wall between the stairs and the room. (I guess you need four.) I think it will look great and cozy!

Please give Carlos appreciation, approval and acceptance for all he does. 💙

Consider every "reclaimed" item yet another opportunity for you to be cleansed of Their memories and their imprint on the property. You have consistently shown your open generous characters. Something in their pasts has them stuck. The future is what you make of it. It is so wonderful to see how you have already made over the house and grounds to reflect your vision. Enjoy it.

Nikki - I love how real you are! I do believe we would be good friends, if we knew each other personally. Thank you, and Carlos, for inviting us into your home and giving us a glimpse of your life. Much gratitude and respect!

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.

The doggies in the front seats cracked me up! What a delightful vlog as usual!

So happy when you pop up in my feed every Sunday. Sending many blessings. You. Two are an excellent team !!🌸💕🙏🏻🦋🌷🌸💖🎀🎀💜🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷happy spring

I was shocked by the previous owners taking the kitchen sink, light bulbs, and finally moving out at night, BUT their coming back to dig up flowers/shrubs, so many months after selling the property and moving, just about finished me off!!! This was a seller from the bowels of hell, I had no idea such people existed.

The kitchen has turned out spectacularly! What a beautiful place to spend your time cooking, talking, laughing! Well done to Mirco.

Looking gorgeous, Nicki and Carlo! Love the Tuscan sunset wash. Perfect! I laughed so hard when the carpenter called it Smoked Norwegian Salmon!!! Men! Always thinking with their stomachs. Telling you, a colour palette expert! It’s like Carlo knew the perfect pink undertones to lay down first. Carol’s touch with the plants and Nicki’s planter choices are going to be fabulous! That bougainvillea vine up the columns…are you kidding me? Stunning! I can’t believe the last owners are still showing up. Is there a time limit or is this open ended? I fear they will dig up the house eventually! I think we all figure they are doing you a favour, though. Tabula Rasa. Your vision full of warmth and hospitality! Shame about the one wisteria tree … but they grow quickly! Make a nice reading nook outside with hanging clusters of purple wisteria flowers. Divine! ❤

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 🪴🌷🌻

When Carlo draped the blooming plant over the tall pot, I thought it looked better than where you moved it to. Let Carlo make some of the decisions - he does have a good eye for decorating - look what he had done outside!

No wonder you had no words Nicki, when you told us that the previous owners had been back and took the tortoises ( at last) then also took plants … unbelievable. Hope they have also took all their other stuff from the shed. The kitchen is gorgeous, you must both be so pleased with it, love the paint colour too. Xx

I love the church bells in the back ground

Carlo needs his lemon tree

Oh Nikki - I’m sure you were rightfully cranky when the old owners came to collect their items - in Australia anything fitted is considered part of the house and you can’t just take them - bless you for being so controlled in your recounting of their visit - I don’t think I would have so much self control. 😂😂 but onto happier things - the kitchen looks great and the pots are a triumph. You have great taste in decorating and in men - Carlo is a treasure. Thanks for sharing. 🇦🇺💕💐

The landscape is absolutely gorgeous! Love the bells ringing! The ending was a riot, was laughing 😂 so much, I can not wait until next week🎉

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. ❤

How nice to have the bells herald the arrival of the new kitchen! Always a good thing when your husband still admires your "arse" after being married for a number of years! you and Carlo do wonderful work together. It's good to be able to laugh! have a lovely week! S.

I love your kitchen color! I love your new kitchen cabinets, including the stove hood wood piece that covered the strip of tiles. I I love your new planters for your new plants, and most of all...I love that Carlos still admires you and proclaims it proudly! ❤

That kitchen is just beautiful!

I always find it interesting when you bring up the previous owners. In the US, once you take possession of a property, it’s yours and previous owners are not coming back months later to get animals, possessions, and plants left behind. Love the new custom kitchen. Amazing! Enjoy.

Absolutely luv the paint technique. And. The entire kitchen!!! The tile around fireplace. Looks stunning!!!💕💖🎀🌷🌷🌷🌷🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Your Tuscan home is coming together beautifully. You have added so much charm and personality to a house, making into a warm, comfortable home. Thank you for sharing with us.

You turned your house into a home in a very short time. I look forward to Sunday afternoons to see what you and Carlo are up too.

The Tuscany sunset was so gorgeous and the church bells ringing nearby was so soulful. Love the wood tones of the custom kitchen cabinets and it is amazing how the wood goes well with the look of the fireplace stones. Great looking kitchen and great episode.💕

Carlo was right to point out the best focal point at that time....just say'n.....Kitchen: BELLISIMO!!! the color is perfect, the design is good, sink is great, faucet is great.....colors: bellisimo!!!

I cant believe the previous owners just keep taking things! I hope they took all their stuff from the shed as well!! The kitchen looks amazing, good for you Nicki, great taste, love the wood

You must be thrilled with the kitchen. It looks like it's always been there, just stunning! As for those previous owners, just wow! I can't believe the gaul of those people...digging up plants, next level arrogance and rudeness.. in Australia they would have been charged with theft..even when you first moved in, the light bulbs??? Anyway love love love watching you guys!

I LOVE both of you "real people!" ❤❤ I absolutely CANNOT believe it has been 2 years since you renovated your Positano kitchen! Omg! Those 2 years have flown by!!! I adore your new kitchen in Tuscany! Your house is fantastic!!

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.

Former owners are low life. Your kitchen renovation is beautiful. The plants and vases outside are artistic and beautiful.

What a transformation! Love the new kitchen paint and furniture floor plan, plants, everything! Enjoy it. Karma will take care of previous owners. I once had a previous owner return and harvest all the fruits from my trees. There is a special place for people such as them. Do not let idiots steal your joy Nikki and Carlo! ☮🐾🙏🌸☮

Carlo I adore you😂😂😂.Nikki does have a nice bottom!You did a great job on the kitchen wall Nikki and I love everything you are doing to the garden.Home is looking exquisite!!!!Well done you guys!!!

Crazy how the previous owners feel so entitled, yet I think what you’ve brought in to replace is much better anyway. The Bougainvillea, the Japanese Maple, the Terra Cotta. All beautiful. Your kitchen is superb and the paint treatment is excellent. The sofas look great in that last arrangement too. I’m loving all of your videos, both of you doing fantastic work inside and out.

That kitchen is perfect, and the wood cover over those tiles is brilliant. Bougainvillea can be nasty to prune. I remember once a year my Dad would tackle that job and he'd end up looking like he'd tangled with a tiger! Just shredded! I aspire to wear white to paint in, like Nicki, and come away without a speck on my shirt. Love to Carlo for his honest, adorable comments.❤

Absolutely beautiful kitchen. You have transformed your home into a stunning paradise. The sunset in the end of the video was gorgeous. Nikki and Carlo, God bless you and give you many happy years to live in this very special piece of Heaven. Wonderful show. ❤❤❤❤

The kitchen looks stunning it all goes so well together and the wall colour sets it off beautifully.

Congratulations!! 🎉 The kitchen looks awesome!! It’s Soooo Tuscan! Great job! 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Also, the garden is beautiful!! 🤩 Enjoy!! 🎊

Carlo and Nicki! What a spectacular job you did on your remodeling! You are both so inspiring and talented! What hard work you have done ! 👏🏼 I really love the colors and the layout of your living areas! Carlo is so skilled! I can only imagine how beautiful it is sitting on the porch, drinking coffee or watching the sunset! You have outdone yourself!🏡 🍾Cheers 😊

Carlo and Nicki…your vision and creativity made for a truly stunning space…and home!

I agree with Nicki on the weird pepto bismol pink on wall, looks lovely now...Carlo is amazing at how much he does around the houses. Is that normal in Italy for families to come back after house sold and just dig up stuff???? That wouldn't fly here in USA omg don't plant bamboo, it will spread and never get rid of..unless its in a vase. Beautiful kitchen!

Gasp and swoon! This kitchen makeover is stunning. You have outdone yourself. Perfection! Congratulations. I am LOVING watching the transformation of your house into a home. Bravo.

Nikki & Carlo everything is coming beautifully.Love the new kitchen. The living room looks good. Don’t let those petty people back on the property. I hope you changed all the locks . They are real morte di fame’ 😅they should be ashamed of themselves. Get cameras around the property. This was another fun episode see you next week. Ciao ✋

Just love how transparent and honest the two of you are. Cracks me up what Carlo said about the response to his Painting….. love watching you two!

Time for a gate at the entrance to your driveway. Beautiful new kitchen...and that paint colour, Nicki is spot on. Your home is looking amazing.

A girl after my own heart with all the plants love it! And love that the doggies are in there too. Carlo is amazing as he loves all the things you do too. Your kitchen looks amazing!!! I love it and the colors are perfect. Love spending my Sunday with you guys, and I can’t wait till next week.

I wanted to thank you for the best entertainment on TV. I have just binge watched all your videos all the way back to robo dance. I believe I started in January. I'm sad to not have this evening ritual of mine, some weekends watching for hours. Thank you for ALL the dopamine! I would sit there with a huge smile on my face the whole evening. I am preparing to buy property in Abruzzo in the Fall if not sooner so I've enjoyed watching all the reno work, Carlo's cool and imaginative building projects, the garden, hikes and trips. You've helped me realize what I want out of my sunset years and I thank you! I will be in Lucca for 9 days in the second and third week of May and would love to run into you and/or Selene. It's my 65th birthday and I'm going to Bagni di Lucca to the thermal springs at Bernabo for a spa day. It was built by Elisa Bonaparte when her brother ruled the area. There it also a cool antique market on the third Sunday in Lucca. This is my first post so I am sending my condolences to Carlo, you and your family. I am always saying a prayer for you both. Sincerely, Thai ❤

You need cameras. Those former owners will probably come back to steal more things. OMG.

Yay!!! I’ve been waiting for this video all week!!

Wow you guys have the patience of saints, I don't understand how pervious owners were so comfortable digging up plants on-top leaving their tortoises in your house (without compensation for carrying for them)!!! Hopefully that's the end of their shenanigans and they don't have other things laying about in your property. I wouldn't tolerate such sketchy behavior, hope you install CCTV around your property. Congratulations on the stunning kitchen. Oh and the seating area is just perfect now, only missing the walled TV next to the mini desk area.

The kitchen is fabulous. Well done! Love that it arrived to a herald of the bells. The whole space indoor and out is now so inviting. Many peaceful mornings and happy days and nights will happen with family in this beautiful home. ❤

My name is Quesha ,what a beautyful kitchen and the plants look amazing on this Spring day...🌺🌹🌿🌿🐕

Bravo !! Lime wash great!! Enjoy watching the progress. Hi from California

Well done! The kitchen looks great. The vases look great. It's all coming along beautifully. I am glad that you were able to take the dining table out of the front area, as it seems so much more balanced with a more spacious living area. A good decision to make the kitchen island suitable as a dining table too!

Loved the bloopers and i can feel you're frustration with the lounge, but you finally got there!😂 The kitchen looks beautiful and the wood stain is a perfect colour, it also goes well with the wall paint. It makes me happy seeing you get so excited about the new kitchen and other changes you're making around your home. Thank you for sharing parts of your life and i wish you and the family all the best. ❤Zeljka

Good grief those previous owners are unbelievable(hope you've changed the locks😅)!! Nicki and Carlo that is one beautiful kitchen area, well worth all the worry and work, now enjoy❤!!

Everything looks beautiful… and I have to tell you that even tho the previous owner dug up the Wisteria, you will probably find it growing again. Wisteria is very invasive and hard to completely remove. We bought a house with wisteria on a large trellis and while we were very busy renovating the house for 18 months, the Wisteria was having fun sending out shallow roots everywhere since the vines on the trellis was getting overgrown. Definitely install a strong trellis if you see it popping up. Glad you are having fun with your new house 🏡

Wow!I've been a silent subscriber here since Positano vlogs and I was sooo amazed by this couple how they turn some things from a scratch into a lovely and brand new looking ones. I'm excited to see how Niki will make over her garden, somewhat same in Positano with different kinds of vegetable and ornamental plants

It looks amazing, the kitchen, the living room, and the porch, all stunning! Great work everyone!

The kitchen renovation was hard to visualize but now that it is done you see how well thought out it was. Your painting technique turned out beautifull and was crowned the " Norwegian smoked salmon" interior color and goes beautifully with your flooring. All the efforts made by Nikki and Carlo work very well together. What an amazing day for Nikki. A new kitchen means so much to those of us like to be in the kitchen. The refergerator placement was perfect for that type of open floor plan, every thing so well thought out. Many years of enjoyment is theirs with the best is yet to come.

Your cabinet builder did a beautiful job. Bravo!

Your kitchen is lovely. You and Carlo have done so much work over these last 4 months to make this home your home. I am very surprised that the previous owners came back to take more from your home. I cannot understand that they would have the gull to take the planters, flowers etc. this would not be allowed in Canada. It has been months since they moved out and they still come back for more. I know that in the end your garden and home will be so lovely. Nicki and Carlo, bless you both. ❤

Can't believe what the previous owners did. No way that would happen in Canada. Well, at least they picked up their stuff and you are done with them. The kitchen looks AMAZING!!! I love all the vases and plants you bought too. Hugs from Canada

Wow! Your kitchen cabinates look so beautiful and rustic. The colour of the walls looks fabulous too. Love the vases you chose Nicky and Carlos is such a good sport allowing you to,do what you want, I mean he lets you make choices without making a fuss about costs. Lucky you!😊

Your kitchen looks beautiful. I love all the plants you bought. The house is looking more and more beautiful. So excited for you and family.

Love, love, love your new kitchen. That cabinet maker is excellent. I like that you added peach to the pink, it's looks fantastic. Now they finally took the tortious, but the plants too. Maybe those plants were given to them from someone special who may not be here any longer or something. You've turned me on to a bougainvillea person, they are lovely. Going to get a few for my house.

I love the kitchen cabinets. Hard wood is miles better than MDF or other synthetic materials. The craftsman loves his work, and as a true artisan, appreciates color combinations.

Love to hear the church bells! I used to ring our church bell at our local village church. I absolutely love the kitchen cabinets you have chosen, gorgeous kitchen! I absolutely love your resent furniture and plant rearrangements, looks better! Thank you for taking us along, as usual thoroughly enjoyed what you and Carlo have done!

Can I just say how impressed I am that you can paint with nice clothes on - the cute white top etc! I’d be completely covered with paint! Everything looks amazing, you both have done an amazing job!!

Your stucco effect and beautiful beautiful kitchen are so gorgeous they make my nose tingle! Hope the previous inhabitants know they can't come back for anything else. We all know how good you and Carlo are at creating a magical garden. Looking like a home xx

I cannot believe those former homeowners came and removed plants AFTER THE DACR! I heard of here in U.S.! Once sold whatever left behind is yours! Love your “Ciao Amore” tee shirt ❤

My goodness 😱 For how long are the former owners going to be taking things? I’m shocked that they would dig up a wisteria plant! I can see maybe taking a cutting Hopefully thats the last you see of them Did they take the stuff that Carlo moved?
