First off, “rubs me off the wrong way” is so funny. I don’t know what the commenter is trying to say about immigration in the U.S., that’s maybe a step too far.
I do agree, however, that Sofie’s renovation for the most part is far too beige and boring for my taste. I would also have removed the wall closing off the living room from the kitchen, but the wood doors and marble floors are so beautiful and unique. Sure the building shows its age from the 60s, but these details make you really feel like you’re in Italy. The bathrooms I do like, though. I hate the little tiles in the shower that were there before, it feels like those would be such a pain to clean (as little grout as possible makes it feel more hygienic to me, idk). I also really don’t like the little cabin-style showers in Italy, it feels claustrophobic to me.
Overall it’s a nice house and I would be happy to live there compared to where I’m at, but if I were spending money to renovate in Italy I’d put a lot more color, texture and interest into it. Not just boring minimalist fixtures
