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

      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

  • @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
    @Cjcurytf 3 года назад +234

    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!

    @Sanne013 3 года назад +172

    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!

  • @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!

  • @fluffymountainbunny
    @fluffymountainbunny 3 года назад +133

    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
      @zfruhl 3 года назад +6

      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
      @bethb7734 3 года назад +6

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

    • @Rebster
      @Rebster 3 года назад +2

      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
      @erstwhile6163 3 года назад +6

      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
      @SilverPonyKat 3 года назад +1

      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.

  • @kevinmcintyre6503
    @kevinmcintyre6503 2 месяца назад +3

  • @JackOllie4
    @JackOllie4 3 года назад +3

    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!

    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

    @georgiaannbicknell6129 3 года назад +4

    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.

    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.

  • @lorraineknott7506
    @lorraineknott7506 3 года назад +10

    @bobbi0513 2 года назад +5

    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!

  • @kkeenan536
    @kkeenan536 3 года назад +13

    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
      @suzanneemerson9787 2 года назад

      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.

    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 RUclips 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.

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.

    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!

  • @EmBoss01
    @EmBoss01 2 года назад

    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.

  • @susanshore2507

    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!

  • @juliedalgardno3361
    @juliedalgardno3361 3 года назад +5

    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!

  • @pamnewman8392

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

    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.

    Hey Boyz 👋 Thanks for the tour , awesome accommodating thousands of perfect strangers through your intimate abode . I take my hat off to you for your energy and enthusiasm for everything you do and the attitude of gratitude will always deliver you the bounties of the universe . To be able to do these things so soon in your lives is a blessing as you have so much time to enjoy it ! Tastes evolve over time and influences come from everywhere but mostly I find decorative style inherent so always follow your instincts when it comes to preferences , your personal space should reflect your personalities which are vivacious , fun and soulful . I like an eclectic mix of modern and antique , you don't want to live in a museum but certain pieces add character and make for conversation when you have guests . Find a nice ceiling light for above the coffee table , last thing you want to do is bump your head on the chandeliers , swinging from them is a different ballgame altogether though 🙃 You're doing an amazing job of transforming that property into your own stylistic haven and it's everyone's dream to be able to do that , I look forward to continuing on the voyeuristic journey with you as it never fails to bring a smile to the dial . Be true to yourselves and you can't go wrong ✨️

    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.

    The chandelier suggested for the living room is lovely, but too much. Use adjustable rcessed lighting in the living room and use that chandelier over the dining table when you move it. I've used Farrow and Ball colors also and it makes all the difference in mental adjustment to each room. Can't wait to see the rest.

    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 ❤

    yes... ...the idea with the dining table and the kitchen table is exactly what this room needs... go for it... ... and yes the lights in the middle are ok...

    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.

    Not overly keen on the light over the coffee table. I think something a bit more subtle would look better. But the house looks amazing, I love it.. Very good taste Mat......Hannah

    When you put light in changes focus to look up. Without lamp focus goes to fireplace which is BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • @AnnaStarseedOracle

    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.

  • @tularegirl

    It doesn't matter what anyone else things about your space...this is your home and what feels comfortable to you is what's important.
    Best of luck. It looks awesome.

    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
      @melanies.6030 3 года назад

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

    I thought the light over the coffee table worked. The house is so beautiful. You guys are excellent designers. And the outside areas are drop-dead gorgeous!!

  • @caseybuffum3359
    @caseybuffum3359 3 года назад +3

    Looks lovely! The light fixture question: it interferes with the fireplace, I'd leave it out. The library and fireplace are stunning. I've been wondering what the name of the color is, hoping to get it matched here in the US.

  • @cherylanderson3340

    The entire project has a minimalist air, while it has many nods to traditional feels too. The overall style feels Classic yet unique unto itself. The overall style holds together well when transitioning from room to room.
    I love, love love the idea of extending the glass wall out more to make room for the gorgeous dining room table, with a view of the gardens. I hope there'll be glass doors to throw open on hot evenings, to an outdoor kitchen & seating. Having a big island in the kitchen can hold lots of kitchen equipment, & also provide a huge surface area for having room to gather for breakfast, or to have enough room for harvested fruit & veggies in baskets, & for cooking together, & with friends!
    Wow, That stove is going to be a remarkable focal point. Can't wait to see it installed.

    Looks absolutely amazing!! Somehow both modern and traditional.
    I’m not sure about the light over the coffee table… I agree with Jesse. It looks too low somehow. I think it ends up distracting from the amazing fireplace and library.

  • @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
      @soilgrasswaterair 2 года назад

      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☺️
