Episode 8

Alan and Amanda are on the home stretch as they take on the interiors for their open-plan living and dining room. Many hands make light work as they invite local friends Fabrizio, Maria Pia and Carlos over for a plastering party, but things soon get out of hand as a spillage nearly ruins their newly laid terrazzo floor. With Alan’s help, Scott designs a sleek marble dining table and gives Alan and Amanda a lesson in making bespoke wall lights out of vintage Sicilian tiles. The duo decide to divide and conquer on a shopping trip to the coastal city of Trapani: Amanda seeks modern soft furnishings for the living room, while Alan hunts for antique knick-knacks in the old town. Both come together to style the newly designed space and reveal their labour of love, aka Casa Alamanda, to their Sicilian family, throwing an emotional farewell party before they head home.
