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

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!!

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.

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 :)

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!

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!

"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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 KZread. Thank you for your candid, intelligent and entertaining content.. you are an inspiration

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!

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!

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!

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 :)

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☺️

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!

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 🤪

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

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🥰

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🙌❤️🍾🥂

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

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)

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.

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).

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

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

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

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!! ♥️

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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 😊

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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. 💕

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!

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 KZread 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.

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.

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.

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

The extension with the glass giving you an whole kitchen island etc etc iS YES YES YES !!!

Laundry is downstairs because the washing machine water line can break, and flood the whole downstairs area. If it breaks upstairs, it will flood both floors. I’ve had this nightmare experience, and take it from me, a laundry chute is the best and less expensive way to go. Wishing you all the best always!

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.

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

two dudes, with brilliant minds & great taste. 🎉

You should never have to answer why you want to renovate. It's your home, you money and your time. I love it all. I also love the idea about the extension with the table there. It will be amazing. Not sure about the lights above the coffee table (since you asked) but if you like it, then put it up. I doubt I will ever be over for dinner lol. You two are great.

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.

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.

"NO" to the light over the coffee table. It would distract from the beauty you have created. Y'all have done a great job. Blessings

I wish the house tour went upstairs. I love to see bedrooms: bed size and type, bedcoverings, window treatments, carpets, etc.

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!

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

It's a no on the light above the coffee table. The centerpiece of the entire home is the gorgeous fireplace and library! The light fixture invades the beautiful uninterrupted view of the complete installation. It makes the ceiling height feel lower and closes in what is a stunning, open, and welcoming space that you just want to snuggle into. The light fixture breaks that all up by taking the gorgeous, purposefully designed and artistically conceived vision and turning it into a generic, uninspired space that I'd probably say, "that's nice" upon seeing for the first time and then promptly forget about. I'd say the recessed lighting will provide good lighting to the perimeter. It looks like the bookcases are lit too, so that'll add some drama and ambient light to the room. For the center of the room, get a couple lamps. They'll add warm, inviting, romantic light to the space, while being low enough to not obstruct the view of the room. Lighting is like textures in interior design, variety is important. You don't want all the light on the space to be shining down from above. You want some of that (which can be unflattering at times), some ambient lighting such as the fireplace and library lighting, and then some mood lighting (lamps). That's all just my opinion though. It's your home and that means you get to do whatever you want! 😊😊 It's beautiful so far and I know it will continue to be so! Proud of you boys!

Fireplaces are wonderful for pets to enjoy their cozy naps

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 ❤

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

It’s absolutely stunning. I think a light above the coffee table pulls your eye up and would distract from the fire place. The floor with the inlay is beautiful. You should have done a house renovation series. ♥️

I would not put any light over the coffee table in our living room. As already said by others, it is a disctration from the nice fireplace. I really like the floor and this line along the wall. The TV room with the black walls is so cosy. The black walls give this mood like in a real cinema.

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.

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 🇬🇧

Love, love, love the redo!

Lighting in living room will interrupt where your eye goes…eye won’t go directly to fireplace and will be in front of the picture above mantle…BUT…it does tie into the room well. Makes the area more ‘cozy’. Love the reno. Well done to the both of you. ❤️🇦🇺👍🏻

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

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

Beautiful, you have great taste! Forget the light in the living room. Your instinct to leave it out is correct ( in my opinion). Enjoy ❤️

The light breaks up the vision of the lounge room, it actually shrinks the space, your eye doesn't get the clean lines of the library walls. It's not awful but it's an optical distraction.

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!

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.

Absolutely great renovation. I just love following you guys. Well done!

Rustic elegance. French country, for sure. Love it! The sitting room is perfectly balanced. I think the chandelier light interferes with that balance.

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!

Matt: *opens the door* whos dis ? Jesse: im jesse Matt: i don't know😂😂😂

It’s Beautiful!! Love the light over the coffee table!! Y’all did a great job with colors and decor! Can’t wait to see the rest of your vision for the property!!

YES! to the light over the coffee table!

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.

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.

Stunning! Congratulations! I love all the recessed lighting.

I'd add a light in the living room, but sometimes glass and the color of metal your have throughout your home. Therefore there's more light, but it's not so in your face and it won't take away from the focal point of the room - fireplace and bookcases. You have made that house into a real home! Fantastic work.

"Jesse? Don't know her" *slams door*

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? 😂

The renovations are stunning!!! I love love the colour palette and the fireplace. Great job!

Yes the light looks great. Sets the style you want. Love what you have done so far.

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.
