#89 WE MOVED IN | Renovating our Abandoned Stone House in Italy
We finally moved in! But there is still a ton of work to do: stay tuned 😉
🪴 Hire us for YOUR project: atelier.mavi.contact@gmail.com
📖 Our Story:
We bought this stone house in Italy during the pandemic in 2020. The house was a ruin and we saved everything we could, unfortunately that meant only four stone and clay walls! The back wall, against the terrain, was close to collapse; the roof beams were eaten and basically reduced to dust; the inside separation walls were easily taken down and the whole project turned into a heavy renovation/rebuild.
Follow our journey as we turn this old stone house into a beautiful home 😊.

Congratulations on finally moving in. Now you'll feel able to spend time in the garden, while completing your house list on rain days. The best of both worlds.
💘
Seconding this post! The house is looking amazing. Can’t wait to see what you do in the garden. Would recommend planting lots of native flowers and trees! :)
A home made by your own hands, nothing can compare. Following this journey has been a great pleasure, looking forward to more. Be well and stay safe ❤
❤️thank you for the nice words ❤️
Caiu isn’t complaining, no tiredness, no exhaustion as shown here. So be Caiu. 😁
Hehehehehe
😂😂
How satisfying to share this with you after so much work and time… Life is full of seasons, and this is the transition from one to another. Enjoy this moment. Rest in this time together and pause if you can. I hope to see more of your garden, the planning of paths and the satisfaction of planting and creating outdoor spaces… Now, I wait patiently for your next video.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Che bello, il grande momento è finalmente arrivato! Che gioia la prima notte, il primo cafè, la prima doccia nella nuova casa. Auguroni a voi tre. Anche il vostro cane sarà contentissimo. Certo ci sarà ancora tanto da fare, in una casa c'è sempre da fare. Vi auguro tanta felicità nella vostra nuova casa!
Quasi non ci credevamo ❤️ grazie mille! Sì, siamo contenti sia noi che Caiù!
Ciao belli, auguri!🇮🇹🇺🇲 che bellezza👏 bravi
Bonjour les archis, vous avez complètement raison de vous en prendre cinq de bonnes, semaines ou années c'est vous qui voyez ! Votre logis a retrouvé son âme et il est magnifique. J'espère que vous continuerez à nous montrer la suite des travaux et mon petit doigt me dit qu'il s'agira de s'occuper de la verdure. Bravo, vous êtes inventifs et courageux, continuez ainsi.
Merci beaucoup! Oui de la verdure mais aussi des nombreuses finitions intérieures qu'il reste à faire 😊
A joyous and wonderful time. Thank you for sharing - it’s been quite the ride. May this place in the hills give you the warmth that you have allowed us to share and see. May your minds be calm, your creativity flourish, your bond be unbroken. Your subscribers would not disagree👏👏👏👏
Thank you by our heart for all the love and kind words you are sending us ❤️
The bathroom door was a great find and you matched the door frame perfectly! It must be a wonderful feeling to finally be home. Time to rest and celebrate your labor and accomplishments. It's truly a beautiful transformation of a ruin to a beautiful home.
❤️thank you so much
You have both come a long way since November 2020 - your hard work and dedication will now begin to reap the rewards you deserve. Good luck in your new home!
🫠💪thank you!!! It was a long way indeed!!
Meine Hochachtung!Tolle Leistung! Ihr habt aus der Ruine ein wunderschönes heim geschaffen. Bin gespannt wie es weitergeht..
Danke 🩵
You deserve at long last to be able to relax and look out on the beautiful countryside. 🇬🇧
❤️thank you
You have done an exceptional job, congratulations! Also, we must recognize caillou’s contribution for maintaining very high quality standards
🐺👷🏼♂️inspector is very demanding
You might consider adding a finish to the door to protect it from the bathroom steam. A mixture of linseed oil and beeswax is one common finish that would fit in with your other materials. I enjoy your show -- I hope you cintinue it!
Thank you for the tip! 🤍Yes we’ll keep posting videos… the house is still not finished🫠
Try Gilboys Hard Wax Oil for the door. All their products are excellent.
🎉 Gratuliere zum Einzug!👍 Eine tolle Leistung von euch beiden! Wow.
Danke 💙
Great job guys! Been a pleasure watching the development over the last two years! Enjoy the well-deserved rest.
Thank you very much for following us all along the way 🤍
Congratulations on your hard work so you could move in and enjoy your beautiful home. I think your dog also recognized this special moment at the end. The bathroom door was a fantastic selection, it has so much character. Enjoyed your music as always.
Thank you very much ❤️ Yes, Caiù is very happy, like us!
Enjoy some well deserved relaxation! Work in the garden instead of with power tools! Moving into the house you worked on for so long must feel so wonderful. Congratulations!!
The feeling is wonderful indeed, and a little weird as well 😂 Thank you!🩷
The house is magnificent. Such a perfect mix of traditional and modern. The kitchen is perfect. Enjoy the culmination of work and design and attention to detail.
Thank you ❤️
Bravo! Well done. Congratulations. Thank you for inviting me along on your journey.
Thank YOU for watching us along the way 🩷
Door hinge manufacturers all have recommended sizes of hinges and the number of hinges that should be installed given the weight of the door. Your door appears to be about a 2 meter door and is solid wood. For a solid wood door (meaning not hollow core), I'd expect at least 3 hinges, if not four. I've found the doors are a lot more trouble-free with hinges per the manufacturer's recommendations. To avoid squeaky hinges, a good ball-bearing hinge is a plus. Otherwise, you can oil or grease the hinge pins. Also, the door undercut should anticipate the need for ventilation air flow (e.g., to facilitate the bathroom fan, if you have one), and whether you might need clearance for a throw rug.
Мне тоже показалось, что две петли маловато будет.
You guys deserve all the best!!! Congrats in your beautiful and cozy home!!!❤👏🙏
Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️
It must feel amazing to be able call this amazing project HOME!
Yes, it is 🥹❤️
Congratulations with this step. Bathroom door is lovely.
thanks!
It was great to see you two making moment for yourselves. Life is for living. I am glad you can live there now. It is charming and I learned so much from your videos. I look forward to more. I just left the draftsman on my old property and he will be in touch with me soon with news from the comune. I have a lot more knowledge since I watched your journey. I wish you lived in my area. thank you so much for educating and entertaining all of us here. Until next time, Katie in Abruzzo
Thank YOU for watching us and for all the support 🩷 If you need us we also do long distance consultation✨
Congrats! Enjoy your beautiful home..you certainly deserve it!
thanks a lot 🤍
Great! Relax and enjoy all your hard work. Hope to see more soon. I bid you peace.
Thank you 🤍 you’ll see more 😉
The new dore is such a classic touch to the house
Perfect choice, terrific skills to install and finish❤
Thank you both 💚
La satisfaction de la realisation
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 a well deserved pause in your home renovation and home ownership journey. Those views into surrounding area and the cozy fireplace will definitely re-charge the both of you. à bientôt, a presto!
Thank you!! 🩵 yes, it’s a good way to recharge yourself 🩵
How exciting to finally move in and enjoy the fruits of your labor! The house is absolutely lovely. I very much like the new vintage door! Auguri! Félicitations!
Sooo exciting!! Thank you ❤️
The transformation is truly spectacular! Huge congratulations for your dedication and hard work and to all those new found skills.
Thank you very much 💙💙💙💙
How exciting! I think the bathroom door is perfect. I wonder if you were so relieved to sleep in your new home that you slept like a log or so exhausted and excited that you were not able to sleep at all. Putting all your kitchen things in their new place is a touch which says "We're home". As you said, it will take a while before, when you think of home, the farm house is what comes to mind. You have both done so much work that I hope you will take it a little slower and enjoy the finishing touches to the inside of your home and enjoy the time working on the outside. Your vista is amazing so I imagine working outside will be a pleasure - your pup seems to be enjoying it already!
Labor of hard work, patientce and love. Congratulations. It is really beautiful.
thank you very much ✨
Suggestion for couples (17:09): Do not place non-stick pans on top of each other, as the metal bottom of one will scratch and damage the non-stick treatment of the other. When washing the non-stick, only use a very soft sponge. Che Dio benedica e protegga te e la tua nuova casa. Essere in pace.
You can stack the pans with soft towels between them
Thank you for the tip!!!

Congratulations on finally moving in. 🎉🎉🎉
thank you 😎🥳
Congratulations on creating a beautiful healthy home. The bathroom door is perfect for that space.
🤍thanks!
Wonderful! Congrats on moving in. The first coffee while looking over the valley 😊 And the door is beautiful. Regards from Australia.
Thank you 🤍🤍☕️
Congratulations - a terrific job done and great home. 🎉
Thank you very much 🩷
Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of observing your nest of love.👋👋👍👍 Baz.
Thank you for watching us!
YOU DID IT!!! 🙏🙌🙌👏🏻👏🏻🎂💞🥰! Thank you for bringing me along on your journey! It was meaningful and lovely to watch you build your home with such devotion. I wish you much happiness, good memories, and lots and lots of love! Congratulations ❤
Thank YOU for watching us along the way 🥰❤️
You've done a fantastic job! Congratulations to both of you! A rest well deserved! 🎉❤
thank you very much 🤍
bonne et heureuse vie dans votre nouveau foyer , sans jeu de mots , ce fut un travail de romain!!!
Merci beaucoup!! Mais c’est pas fini 🙃
... et de Gaulois !!!
Moving in must be its own reward. Congratulations to you both. You've worked so hard. Enjoy these quiet moments and your new home. ❤️
💛thank you so much
I hope your moving in doesn't mean that the project is over soon. In that case, you will have to find a new project for us. Many reno sites I watch are exciting in the construction phase but disappoint me when it comes to the decorating phase. Not yours! I LOVE everything. I WANT those kitchen chairs. Also, I love the brand WMF, their appliances are always chic. And may I say, bravo for the near impossible feat of matching the door frame with the beautiful old door - love that you introduced some vintage pieces to give patina to your renovation. Lastly, thanks for the tuto on how to make a door frame for the reclaimed door. I have been toying with the idea of doing them myself rather than having them made by our joiner - every little helps, budget-wise. Your video made it seem possible :-). I watched the video twice to spot all the little details. Thank you!!!
Don’t worry: we are moving but the house is still not finished 🫠 At least we are leaving the apartment we are renting to save some money, and we are already on site if we want to keep going! Thank you so much for saying this: even with a little budget left, we want to chose with love our furniture, decorations and appliances! We love second hand and vintage pieces🤍 We bought the yellow chairs for only 50€ (the 4 chairs) - second hand from a private. We believe strongly in re-use objects as much as we can. Thank you for watching us 🤍
Sono felice per voi. Baci da Brasile ❤
grazie mille ❤️
Good morning NOT from Vermont USA but today from NYC wedding weekend as my niece is getting married. I LOVE the wooden door! and the yellow metal chairs and sharing your first fresh coffee in the house in Italia with my traditional Sunday morning coffee video.with you both. CONGRATULATIONS.
Not from Washington County NY this AM but on the Treasure Coast of Florida. Terrific feeling to watch this AM. I will rewatch later. ❤
Thank you very much, we hope you had a wonderful day full of joy ❤️
Congratulations - you have earned a well deserved rest. The simplicity and beauty are fabulous!
Thank you so much 🧡
Braviii! Complimenti!!
Grazie 🤍
Oh my; doesn't it feel good to just stop? Congratulations you two; you more than deserve to savour the morning light, the gentle fire to sit by and a bathroom with a door. (I have been doing renovations for over 50 years, so I can relate.) You have done an absolutely magnificent job - your video series would be useful in architecture class. My brother is a retired architect & he very much likes what you have done. Time to simply 'be' and rest. Enjoy!!
Feel soo good to stop sometimes 🤣 Congratulations for doing this job so many years 🙈 Thank you so much for the compliments and support 🩷
Très heureuse pour vous. Votre maison est saine et apaisante. Repos, detente, ca va faire du bien ! Quand on voit le avant/après, c’est dingue. A bientôt j’espère
❤️a bientôt et merci!!!
Your home looks so warm and lovely already, thanks for taking us along your lovely journey.
Thank you for watching us along the way ❤️
Finally you are living your home!!!

How incredibly satisfying it must have been to finally move in. Congratulations!
🙈🥹 a lot 💙thank you
Yes, your home - rest and relax and enjoy each moment. Tili we meet again.. ❤❤❤

I have evidently never met ye and probably never will but I feel so proud of ye both for what ye have achieved over the last 2 years or so. I have been diligently following all of your trials and tribulations and successes and somehow I feel I have been on the journey with you both. Well done and congratulations.
Thank you very much for following us all along the way 🤍🤍🤍
I miei complimenti! Di cuore! Vi siete cimentati in un’avventura molto impegnativa e siete riusciti nel vostro intento. Bravissimi, avete tutta la mia ammirazione; sono felice del vostro traguardo. É stato un vero piacere accompagnarvi, ora godetevela, ve lo meritate.
Siamo noi a dovervi ringraziare, di cuore. Fa piacere sapere che si veda l'impegno e la passione che ci abbiamo messo/stiamo mettendo, per non parlare della montagna di amore che riceviamo da voi tutte le settimane! ❤️❤️❤️
BRAVO! HOME! Your doggie approves! Please keep the videos coming, showing the progression of your new home. :-)
Thank you! Yes, we’ll keep posting videos 💘
Congratulations on moving into your lovely cosy home. I could live in that house in a heartbeat.
❤️
I am very proud of both of you and what you have accomplished together. You have done an amazing job in taking an old almost destroyed building and making it into a comfortable home. For a couple that had little to no experience in working with wood and rock, well....I am amazed! All I can say is WELL DONE! I hope that you have a wonderful life in your new home and I am looking forward to seeing what you have planned next. Also, please give the REAL STAR of all of your videos a big hug and some toys to keep him as GOOFY as always.
Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️ Caiù says hello and thanks for the hugs!!🐺🤍
It's great to see you living in the house. The refurbishment has been great to watch - quality work and techniques shown in detail. Fascinating to watch.
Thank you very much for watching!!
Caiu, she is the best! The dog name in Portuguese it means fell, bat I love Caiu. Once again congratulations on the beautiful work of the couple.
🤣 Caiù caiu 🙈 obrigada!!!
@@ateliermavi🤣😂
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. It has been so much fun to follow the two of you in your journey.
A water resistant treatment will prevent the door and frame from warping from the added moisture in the bathroom caused by the shower-- Good Luck
Congratulations, you’re finally in your beautiful home. I’ve enjoyed every episode of your journey and thank you for inviting us along. All of your hard long hours of building your house with you own hands must give you such satisfaction, especially when you’ve done it with such perfection. My heart melted when Caiu came running to greet you, I’m sure glad he’s as happy as you both that your all together in your home. ❤🐾 I’m looking forward to more upcoming videos, AFTER you take a much needed rest and get settled in to your beautiful house with a magnificent view overlooking the city. ❤❤
Thank you SO much for following and watching along the way, every week ❤️ We are so happy to received all this love and support: it gives us strenght! Caiù is indeed very happy, she loves here! Don't worry... there will be more videos, the renovation is not finished yet!
The door looks great. Now you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. 👍
💪🏼🙈
Fabulous for all three of you ! 🐾💐🪷 The bathroom door and the pop of yellow in the kitchen - perfection ! 🍋🍋🍋
Had to watch a second time 👀👀 Wonderful ☮️💟
Thank you!!! Happy that someone appreciated: we fell in love with these second hand chairs 💛 (we founded by chance and we payed 50 € the 4)
Homeside in the springtime! It’s fresh and beautiful! 💐
At last ! What an awesome moment. I'm so happy for you. Well done !
Thank you very much ❤️

Thank you 🩵
The antique door is a great find and looks to me that it will be quite handsome in your historic house. With the replacement of the hardware it should function perfectly. May God bless your house and the home you will make there.
Thank you very much 🤍
