[@chrisdancer22]

Beautiful remodel, don't put the light over the coffee table it is distracting from the fireplace.

[@elizabethviv]

Exactly what I was going to say! The fireplace is so beautiful.

[@paulrobertson7650]

I would say no too to the light,beautiful home well done.

[@hxezmad7023]

Definitely for me,,,,, uhm.. the fireplace is never gonna be un distracting. The first thing everyone notices

[@patriciaschaeffer7804]

No it does not work bc it cuts the vib from the magnificent hearth & makes the room busy & appearing smaller don't do it!

[@mypointofview1111]

Less is definitely more. You don't need a light over the coffee table. There's plenty of light in the room. Overhead light would be aggressive and limit where you place furniture if you want to change where you sit in the future

[@jonjonwp]

Most important thing for Jesse ...the dogs love it.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I know haha! I love how down to earth and grateful he is for the things he has yet they are definitely not the most important to him. I wish he made more videos.

[@sandrasimmons185]

Stunning!!! I would say no to the light. Everything looks so open and airy without it. Less is more in this case. Don’t forget You also have your side lamps for additional light. You guys did an amazing job!!

[@lizquigley2142]

Your livingroom looks fabulous. Don't add the pendent light it makes it look to cluttered. All the changes are on point. Enjoy it. Your designer (aka) matt has a great eye for design.

[@Cjcurytf]

The house looks amazing! I especially like the greenish-blueish-greyish bookshelf beside the fireplace. I think putting the light on the ceiling of the room would be too much, it would take away from the beautiful painting above the fireplace. Can't wait to see phase 2 :)

[@kellyaquinn]

What are the paint colors? I am having trouble understanding him.

[@karenmahan6979]

@Kelly Quinn It is Farrow & Ball's brand, "Down Pipe"

[@kellyaquinn]

@@karenmahan6979 Thank you so much!

[@michellegaeb2291]

I agree, the light over the coffee table cuts off the visual ‘flow’ of the room. It is perfect as is.

[@TheGarnetObsidian]

Agree, both of you have beautiful taste. Your choices are elegant and informally understated. The nods to historic references are stunning. Very happy for both of you, thank you for sharing with us. Best wishes. P.s. Looking forward to seeing what is next for the powder room, sounds striking!

[@Sanne013]

First minute and I'm already laughing. Love watching you two together, always fun times 😂 I absolutely love how the house looks now. So stylish 😍 Would say no to the light above the coffee table, makes the room a bit less open. Love the idea for expanding the room! Think that'll be an amazing place to hang out with visitors, enjoying the sun. Thanks for sharing!

[@LoLoHermione]

We need an update when the whole house is finished 👏🏼👏🏼 looks beautiful

[@crystal.matter]

I like it, the house has that country feel to it but in a modern clean way. I love the brass details around the house. What you both mentioned in the end about feeling grateful every day to live there, I think that is exactly the point when you're making a home that is for YOU. While the old interior was nice too, the new is yours and it makes you really feel connected and like a home.

[@fluffymountainbunny]

You two are so freaking adorable! The house looks great, congratulations you guys! You want to (usually) keep laundry downstairs so in case something breaks and there's flooding/water out of of the washing machine or something it doesn't damage the floor/ceiling. It's easier to have them upstairs in terms of moving around the house, but i think they're usually downstairs for water logistics reasons I hope you're feeling better soon, it just takes time Matt. I caught it too, my doc advised me to do deep breathing exercises often and it really helped! Hopefully neither of us will get any long term effects!

[@zfruhl]

We have our machines upstairs, and we had one incident where the washer overflowed but the overflow pan which was placed underneath the machine kept the water from touching the floor or the carpet. The technician who came out to repair the machine siphoned the water out of the pan, wiped it down, and everything was fine.

[@bethb7734]

there are ways to create a tub-type floor with a drain to reduce the danger of flooding with a second floor laundry.

[@Rebster]

It's most likely concrete, so it would have to really be soaked for a long time before it damages the ceiling, or the structural integrity of the floor

[@erstwhile6163]

I believe laundries downstairs were also pre-tumble dryers when clothes needed to be taken outside to line dry ( which I still prefer) but not all climates allow for this.

[@SilverPonyKat]

A pan under the washer would keep the water from causing further damages should it leak. Also washers can be freaking heavy. Getting them up the stairs is an effort but thankfully not something you would have to do all the time. Probably ground floor too because of the noise they make. Doing laundry while someone is trying to sleep (nightshift workers) can be an issue.

[@stevenmcvicar7665]

Love the French Country/Provincial look. Very classy and elegant! 💖🦄🌷Sonia McVicar

[@ros4007]

For me, I really dislike bare ceilings. Love the light over the coffee table. I also love the different shades of white, no need for sunglasses! You've done a beautiful job guys!

[@clarejenkins2422]

Beautiful home you have created ... I would almost call the style 'Masculine French Country Modern'. Loving the colours and am all for the fabulicious black TV room!!! It's a no to the light for me as it would take away from the majestic boldness of the fireplace and library. You have both done a wonderful job and can only imagine it is a joy to live in. Much love and congratulations from NZ x PS ... the pair of you are a hoot 🤪

[@judithryle2113]

No on the light over coffee table

[@KandtheBays]

LOVE these renovations! I'm obsessed with everything. I love how the older style pictures that most people would trash actually make it look even more modern. I would say no to the light though. It just seems to disturb the overall feel of that room!

[@semat7]

Just BEAUTIFUL....I thought in the moment, I would not use the light, but once you held it in place, I actually quite liked it. No matter your decision, your home is stunning!

[@theorease6933]

I like the light over the coffee table! If it's high enough to not distract from the painting or the fireplace, it pulls the conversation area together, makes it feel more cozy :)

[@melanies.6030]

I agree. I like the lamp over the coffee table, but perhaps with lighter shades. Maybe a blade-type fan would work too.

[@karenking5357]

Vanilla candy I've already said the exact same thing as you almost work for word I like the idea of the light over the coffee table yeah but not too low

[@pagano1905]

Beautiful renovation ! My opinion, since you ask for it: forget about the lamp above the Coffee table.

[@jitsepompstra5238]

I wouldn't hang the lamp up because then it would be very busy. the lamp is nice but then it becomes a bit too much.💋😅🥰 but your house is very beautiful i'm just jealous😩🤪💋

[@soilgrasswaterair]

It’s their home and the lamp should be there because that’s where they want it! I mean this is not our own private homes they are decorating so no need to say where things should or shouldn’t go. Personally I find it wonderful to see how creative people are and to see what they have crrated for themselves :) This is lots of hard work in terms of planning but also getting the money to invest in the property and everything in the home. It ties in even more beautiful when you think about Matt sharing how he thought about wanting to fill his life with warmth and closeness and build something with someone and have more in life thsn work and flying around the world for work. He has what he wanted back then, a partner and a home and warmth in life☺️

[@sandyblakeley5673]

Beautiful remodel! Sophisticated without being stuffy. Brilliant! (No on the light over the coffee table, the scale and shades cover doesn't work, and the room is perfect as. Don't "busy" it up).

[@lesliesharnas7612]

Your house is beautiful!!!!! Can't wait to see phase two. No light in living room.

[@hollywill2226]

I give it a ten out of ten!! Wouldn’t change a thing. May you have many happy years there with all your fur babies! Y’all deserve only the best🥰

[@bobbi0513]

Absolutely stunning, guys! A word of advice.. If you are going to place that beautiful table in a glass, sunlit room, make sure the glass is UV rated, otherwise your beautiful furniture will dry and fade. I learned that the hard way!

[@RMullerEquestrian222]

I like it without a light over the coffee table! But omg guys, y'all did SO GOOD with this remodel!! It is beautiful and so much brighter and more elegant and classy. I love it all, even the black room which I'm always skeptical about

[@KMartha22]

No lights over the coffee table for me. I love everything, beautiful house.

[@connieolson8497]

No to the light over coffee table. Color in kitchen area is light and airy, Nice work. Lucky fellas, and puppy dogs💕🦴🦴

[@LEvans-RWS]

Well done!! Beautiful reno; love the flooring!! My vote is NO for hanging the light above the coffee table...it altered the spacious feeling of the room. (At least it looked that way on my phone)

[@rickyhanley]

Omg, it's beautiful . The light above the coffee table I think take a little focus away from the fireplace. I love it. You bought your house around the same time I bought mine. It's a work in progress. I need to finish the barn renovations first. Priorities 🐎🐐🐓 Your house has given me more inspiration . I hope you create many years of happy memories.

[@brendashelonko2149]

Stunning renovation! This is a home for a lifetime. You can add holiday homes over the years to come. Ixnay on the lamp over the coffee table. Or at least, not that lamp.

[@phoenixrising1507]

Yes to the light! It would further define the space and bring warmth.

[@anicaferreira6072]

It looks so so good I love how the colours compliment each other and matt im glad you have so much idee's with the house it looks really good and I hope it feels like a warming home mag god bless you guys for everything lying ahead🙌❤️🍾🥂

[@SLR33406]

Stunning!! Classy!! I would say, for me, the center lighting doesn’t work. It is busy, and takes away from the gorgeous open aesthetics of that fabulous room!! ♥️

[@satori4183]

What a change! The addition of the fireplace and the library walls = 10/10

[@cynthiablackburn4226]

Wow. Just...WOW! Wow wow wow. The library is breathtaking. (Also, love that the dogs are in front of the fireplace. Contentment.) As for the light over the coffee table--no! You've got those recessed lights and the table lamps that are lovely. No, no, no. It makes it look cluttered, in my opinion. It also take the eye away from that fabulous fireplace. If you need to put in a light, I think you should look for something like the lights in the kitchen over the table with a clear shade that won't create another shape/tone/color in the room.

[@tazio190274]

Place looks fab, well done both! I would not put the light in the living room, looks so open at the moment and light will lower the ceiling

[@lorraineknott7506]

You are doing a stunning job! I didn't think the light was necessary until you held it up, and it really finished the area perfectly!

[@cricket8438]

No light over the coffee table. The renovations look fabulous! No worry about the money, y’all work hard for it so spend it the way you want!

[@Mirovanje12]

"We didn't want to jump on any trends." SUCH a smart way to approach renovation! Matt and Jesse clearly have great design instincts and the updates to their home is really beautiful. Well done!

[@joycewhitney3852]

Love it all, don’t prefer the ceiling lamp, would just use side lamps for mood lighting.

[@Fluttersworld]

Add the light over the coffee table. It balances the light out and really makes the room pop!

[@amyvandermeerallen2534]

I have a comment that’s related to an older video that you made (about three years ago ) about people hating on you on social media. I just want to say that you are one of the most genuine, honest and self-aware people that I’ve ever had the privilege of watching on KZbin. Thank you for your candid, intelligent and entertaining content.. you are an inspiration

[@biddydibdab9180]

Don’t like that light over the coffee table BUT you need some sort of light just for functionality. You have done an amazingly beautiful job on the house. Beautiful taste and a very great description!

[@aniseaarden1136]

Wouldn’t do the lamp in the living room, house looks amazing 👌🏼

[@cherrycake1]

I agree on the lamp. In my opinion it's beter to have what you have more in the style of lamps kitchen, and let it come back in the livingroom. But that's only my thoughts. But for the rest yes amazing

[@janl8683]

The house looks so light and airy. Nice job. I feel the light is too obtrusive and would hang too low. But loving what you guys are achieving xx

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

Matt and Jesse, an elegant bootroom!! Please keep an elegant downstairs mudroom, bootroom, shower, dressing room for guests and self not a powder room. Where you live, the weather is wet. People you entertain will be wearing boots/barn shoes that may be wet... They may be wet. Having a space where they can change/you can change that is not in your "upstairs" living area, is wonderful. I cannot tell you how many times I wished that I had insited on a mudroom. I currently have to go through my kitchen/livingroom to get to my bathroom. Having a full bathroom, not a powderroom and bootroom would be so appropriate and can be elegant! Don't think powderroom. You have the plumbing to do more there. Make it MORE useful. And yes, put in a washer and dryer upstairs, but leave one downstairs maybe even inside that elegant bath/mudroom/bootroom area. Make it an area where you can change into active wear/not riding wear/or not, clean shoes off, but a least drop your boots...before coming into the house proper.

[@lindakirsch1193]

I think your home is beautiful and the pieces you have chosen are exquisite. I love the idea of the additional room for your lovely dining table, and your plans for a large kitchen island. I also like the over head light you showed for the living and library room. I love everything, it is all so lovely. I want to add this note to both of you. I do not own a horse nor do I follow anything about horses other than you both have captured my attention because of your love for your horses and each other. So since your move from Australia with Chase and you and Jesse showing and talking about yourselves and the love of horses and dogs and your personal and professional lives I have been hooked. I'm a 75 yr old woman in Phoenix Az who just enjoys your channel. If you both are still doing horse shows for KZbin I love to see more when possible. I love Jesse with his horse training and your extended lives including your modeling Matt. I haven't seen Eva lately so not sure she is working with Jesse. You are wonderful young men with deep passions and I am thankful I came across your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@mimisparkles8967]

Your home is beautiful, really love the style you went for! Also I don’t think the light looks bad but I prefer it without. Keeps the space more open which I like.

[@Carroty_Peg]

One of the BEST home tours. So thought out, well designed and considered!

[@kristiwetsel9531]

Looks amazing !

[@KR-mx4nt]

Stunning!!!!!!!

[@kkeenan536]

Just beautiful and I think the glass extension will really help the kitchen area. As far as the light goes, I would live with the remodel as is for awhile, then decide. I prefer the room without the light, but if after living with it for a time you find yourselves using the room and needing more light, then you can add it 😊

[@suzanneemerson9787]

I was going to say the same about the light. Do everything else first. Then check the lighting in the living room as is and see if it is sufficient with existing lights, especially at night. If not, add the ceiling fixture. Also, if you do install it, put it on a dimmer switch so you can adjust the light level. I think the style is good. The nice thing about the blue pillows is they’re easy to change out if you get tired of the blue. That blue/green/gray paint will go with lots of other accent colors besides blue. It’s easy to work with. Such a beautiful home you are creating together.

[@janeregan2930]

Love what you have done, it’s beautiful, I personally don’t think you need the light above the coffee table as you have the lamps

[@deepaschall7206]

Looks amazing ❤️

[@gryhelen444]

BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍😍

[@janetperry9391]

Definitely love the light over the coffee table!!I It will add a touch of old world elegance. Absolutely love the changes!! Kudos for the guts to go black in the movie room, right next to the living area! You definitely possess boldness and balance which is quite unusual for someone so young. Congratulations and looking forward to the next phase. 💕

[@ingridblohm-hyde805]

Definitely yes for the light in your living room. The ceiling is rather large and empty and the lamp disperses that feeling of emptiness at the ceiling adding warmth and good balance

[@1999bmwm3baby]

Beautifully done!

[@ginalauria1304]

Yes love the light

[@aina3387]

It’s beautiful! I have a small home that is very well decorated and I get the “omg, I can’t believe I get to live here!” feelings when I walk into the living room and it is amazing. I still need to update the kitchen and create a study for myself, but it is coming along. I love seeing other homes for inspiration. I especially love the grey bookshelves and leather ottoman.

[@johannaeilers3575]

I must say it became a really nice home, which fits you perfectly. I would say it´s a no to the light, it interrupts the airy space in the living room, but overall well done.

[@newman4878]

Love, love, love the redo!

[@celestialfavors1]

Absolutely stunning❤

[@suzycue9278]

House looks awesome!!! And i def like the dogs chillin by the fireplace :)

[@judycummings4059]

The home is beautiful. Love the color choices, fireplace, and the idea for the glassed in dining room also.

[@noralinbo815]

It is beautiful! So happy for you both!

[@ginalauria1304]

Love your renovations good job

[@sandraessman3205]

You two are adorable AND hilarious! Don't ever change! Can't wait to see the rest of this video!

[@Yorkley]

You have a beautiful home. Love the flooring. The lounge looks better without the centre light. Maybe get some more table lamps, a much more cosy look.

[@sandysgrandgirlssandysswee2492]

I love y’all’s style!!

[@tracybice6984]

love everything love the light ❤️

[@_.miestorm._]

Oh my gosh 🤩 Everything looks so nice, but your formal living room is to die for! You should be ready proud of yourself and you both definitely deserve to achieve this from all the hard work you do.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I LOVE it all too! I just felt like he took most of the credit.

[@KrazeeFoxx735]

I really love all of your upgrades, I love the addition of that fireplace and balance of the light fixture you want to add, that's a yes for me!!! Gorgeous Gents!

[@mariefraher8725]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@cathyvandeneeden3704]

woooow 🤩looking great

[@beautyakimbo4833]

Wonderful job guys! As far as the light, I feel like it distracts from the fire place and the flow of the lines (just this artists opinion). I'm so glad you both are so happy with your space, as one of your older viewers, I've done remodels and I totally understand the feeling

[@fionasilis7726]

Absolutely love everything that you have done; congratulations to you both 🥰 For me the light above the coffee table took the eye away from the fireplace and library. Thank you for allowing us to share in your journey ❤

[@iasunfloweriasunflower6703]

Love the light for the living room!

[@rosehorsetraining.2290]

Love it! Very nice and refreshing change!

[@Orionesca]

Such a beautiful home you are fixing! I think the light in the livingroom looked great, it gave balance and some volume to the ceiling.

[@susanshore2507]

Beautiful reno- congrats. I wouldn't add the lamp fixture above the coffee table. However, it's a personal choice and if you need the extra light then choose what suits you.

[@lori3056]

Stunning! Congratulations! I love all the recessed lighting.

[@kjeldh1]

Home looks beautiful!

[@Alison-ow7cm]

Wow what a fantastic home you live in doing a great job cant wait to see it all done and the light would look great the fireplace is beautiful it all looks so light and makes every room look bigger both of you keep the videos coming. All the way to England 🇬🇧

[@finnegan1657]

Your home is stunning! You guys did an outstanding job renovating. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can't decide on the light. I like it either way - I just suggest you have it on a dimmer switch if you decide to install it that way you can vary the intensity of the light. Matt, how do you not like blue? 😂

[@kathymize5856]

Beautiful! Love the light also over the coffee table.

[@amberfredricks3138]

wow that kitchen table is immaculate! such a great pic. and the kitchen really benefited from removing the pilars and upgrading the sink and cabinetry. the island will surely be nothing short of the chef's kiss of completion As for the light in the livingroom, i am all for it personally...BUT .... not that particular light fixture. it was really kind of bleh to me. i think something maybe wide single 3/4 dome in brass maybe? i dunno if im describing it correctly. about the size of a basketball if you removed 1/4 of a rounded side? that was the first picture that came to mind personally. One other thing i feel like the aesthetic is sorely missing (maybe just on the back burner until everything is finished?) are some really gorgeous PLANTS! the colors you have chosen are beautiful , but i feel its missing a few pops of color to really set it off. ♥

[@juliedalgardno3361]

Love it all, especially the design you created behind the stove! It all flows beautifully. Many people don't like the light in the living room but I think it depends on how open you want it vs adding a bit of cozy- in space and evening light. I do not believe anything could take away from the fireplace hearth but maybe the light would actually invite you to come closer and relax. Either way, very stunning!

[@littlegrubbins1397]

Beautiful work you two! You both have great taste and I love that you have the foresight to want to decorate in styles that will age really well! I think the lighting in the centre is a good idea, maybe choose the kind that can dim and create different atmosphere in evening, but personally don’t like the shade of colour but the style works.

[@TheresaO1]

It’s beautiful! I love the choices you both made for your home!

[@audreymaqks]

Beautiful home. Love your style

[@berinlist]

Love your renovations, all the room are stunning. Great feeling seeing the rooms first, then going back & see what makes it so special. Should be in a magazine! Love the floors. Maybe a different light over the coffee tables. Overhead light there will not let you rearrange the furniture. A classic room never goes out of style. Great eye for decorating. As long as you love it, that is what counts!

[@jenniferfirenz1001]

Beautiful home and great ideas. Can't wait to see your glass breakfast room!!! I vote no on the sitting room light. The space is so open and welcoming. Feels like a space inviting you to sit enjoying the view or a good book. The light seemed to crowd the space. Enjoy the journey.

[@gretchenjaeger1551]

Gorgeous! amazing!😍

[@jessicafb5398]

It looks beautiful! 😍 Congrats

[@jessyy.4800]

Soo beautiful, but I would not add the light as it makes it look too old. Lots of love to you sweet guys♥️♥️

[@juliehare3403]

Love the renovation! Beautiful color schemes, especially the kitchen! Living room is gorgeous! I would say no to the light fixture...it looks more for an entry hall / landing light or over a dining room table.

[@JackOllie4]

The light is not quite right! I don't know what would be, but I don't think that one is it. I think something flush with the ceiling would be better. The hanging light makes the ceiling look lower, to me, and it's not a high ceiling to begin with. Absolutely beautiful home and renovations!

[@shanemorley9440]

It's gorgeous! You did a fine job!

[@aSingleSundance]

Your home is so pretty! You and Jesse did such a good job picking things out. I’m not the biggest fan of the light above the coffee table but I also don’t think it’ll look bad.

[@heathercrowe6770]

Ditto what Victoria said about all of it....I feel like the light above the coffee table could distract from the fireplace.

[@charliefunboy5210]

Thank you so much for doing this!!! And YES YES YES for the light in the living room. I think it adds balance and will look very nice.

[@jonjonwp]

Yes it gives the finishing touch and joins the room up.

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

Yes . Agreed.

[@skyrocketcoast219]

Magnificent job! Beautuful!

[@Helladrio]

Just beautiful! Your taste is 😍
