PERSONALLY I think a fan with a light would be better but circulates the air and keeps cool in summer
100% agree with a ceiling fan
I agree with a ceiling fan with light. That will also help with moisture during the rainy season.
There is nothing wrong with both.. what happens if u don’t want the over head light on??????
A ceiling fan that looks a little like the propeller in a plane but with the light in middle round and kind of flat (like a pancake) so that it does not come down like the old fashioned ones. The control can be turned so that you can turn the light on or leave it off. These are very chic, clean and modern looking. Also put a clean round light in the middle of the kitchen with a few recessed lights in the kitchen too. Put the lovely hanging light that is in the kitchen in the dining room. That would look perfect there!
**CEILING FAN WITH A LIGHT** in the living room to circulate the airflow. I would have gotten a sofa with the extended part on the other side so you would not restrict flow to the rest of the house. Put the light you have hanging in the kitchen over the dining room table. Just my suggestions. But what matters most is what you guys like because it is your home. Love you guys! Great work!
I like the sofa with the extended part where it is, as it sort of defines the living room space. But that's just me. Love the recessed and also think a chandelier would be too much.
They Livingroom,looks so good guys 🤗❤❤
I think that's a very good idea! There are very beautiful wooden ceiling fans with a warm light in the center, all in very nice minimalist style. We got one for our home too and are very happy with it! (not expensive either)
I also think a ceiling fan with a light is what you need!
you might consider putting a dimmer switch in living room for atmosphere. Will bring lights low . You are doing an awesome job. God bless you both.
Rodrigo, you are becoming a great carpenter. Your home is coming along with Freddy's help for sure. Whitewash the boards, water down the white paint and you don't have to sand the paint off. Start with a little water at a time to get the look you guys want. Now touch up on the ends of some trim and caulk the seams, which would definitely be a Freddy job. Your house is becoming your home
Awesome couch. Be careful with the tiles before you complete the floor and grout. The corners of the tiles can break off in the meantime. Chandeliers are for kitchens and dining rooms. Either stick with recessed lighting and replace the regular switch with a dimmer switch to create mood lighting or install a fan in the middle of the ceiling which can distribute air when it's hot and heat when it's cold, especially if you get a little cozy fireplace.
Chandeliers can be used in any room.
You should think about using the exiting chandelier over the dinning room table and continue more recessed lights into the kitchen. Then use a lamp and/or a pendant light like you have in your bathroom for soft lighting in the living room.
+1 agree with this and get some dimmer switches for the living room
@@mbrt3000100% on dimmers!
I agree, too! The chandelier in the kitchen would be a real statement over the dining table, and the spotlights/recess lights in the kitchen, especially placed over the kitchen counters, would prevent shadows while you prepare your food. Then a beautiful straw/wicker style light shade with a warm light bulb on a dimmer switch, along with lamps will make an extremely cosy living room.
But whatever you choose to do I'm sure, like everything else you've done will look amazing ❤❤❤
Yes, that is also a very good idea 💡
I don’t care for the white trim around the black metal beams on wall. I really liked the way the black beams tied everything together and made the home have that industrial look to it. Now it looks kind of weird with the framing of wood sticking out. I prefer the black beams in view.
same
I wish you could turn the couch around so the lounge part was along the window. It would open up the space and allow you to see out and window and into the kitchen. The way it is now seems to close off the living room space and make it smaller...Just a thought...Good Job!!
Yes consider turning it as suggested! Need a little more headroom above the couch if you do this? Then build one of those narrow behind-the-couch long tables and, you won't need a coffee table.
they also could have bought it with the lounge seating on the other side where the slope is, not cutting up the space directly by the doorway. It's such a tight spot. I would have put the dining table there and made the living room where they have the dining table now extending out into the other side of the A frame.
On my couch watching you on your couch 😍
After the white trim, the room looks less heavy and the black that does remain looks more of a softer accent. Looks great!
White washed shiplapping the dining room wall would look perfect...everything so far is BEAUTIFUL 😍
Having an open floor plan is great. It first of all makes the space look bigger. So when you want to make “zones” in the house, like dining, kitchen, living spaces, you do that by making each space unique. So you have the nice chandelier in the kitchen. And that light fixture says “this is the kitchen space” Now that you are defining your living room space, do something completely different. The recessed lights are great for overall lighting. And if I remember correctly, you wanted very white lights, then some warm lights. My suggestion would be, use table or floor lamps with warm bulbs for accents. And not worry about the chandelier. Then your living room will look cozy, and inviting.
Also, at fist I wasn’t sure about the white accent trim, because the black was really letting the wood walls pop. But as you put the white boards up, the room warmed up so nicely. The whole look will be such a nice touch!
Yes! A floor lamp would be perfect. I agree with the rest of what you said, too,
A ceiling fan is always welcoming and useful….
Freddy, he is one smart man. He has you, I have been watching him from the beginning and you are the smartest move he has made. I thought he changed his name to Jordan at first lol. House is looking awesome on the inside. I would do it the way that makes you feel good all over. If you like it that is all that counts. Have a super blessed week. With love from Texas.
Also, use a dimmer switch for the ceiling lights to control the lighting further.
You need to make sure the receptacle is made for a dimmer .
*Please consider placing the WOOD BLOCK part of your kitchen chandelier DIRECTLY to the CEILING …for only the black fixtures/bulbs are hanging down. Damn that would look cleaner and amazing!* A floor lamp with a long arm for reading would be best in living room…or a black fan to rotate air and humidity IF you add another ceiling light to living room. It’s good to buy/add things slowly after you figure out your needs. Love the couch…the only thing missing is Roger on it! You’re improving and growing your skills Rodrigo and all is coming together…way to go bro! 💙
Freddie is so sweet and adorable. You found a treasure, jungle boy! So fun to see the place come together.
Instead of hanging another lamp in the L.R. why not just go for a table lamp or two to be your 'mood lighting.' The canned or recessed lights will be good for when you are cleaning and need more lighting. And that would make that room have a completely different 'feel' about it than the kitchen does. Are the canned lights dimmable? To be bright and then low? If you've already cut the hole and wired it in for the hanging light, then change your mind, you can always put in another canned light there, yes? As far as the couch goes, you could you turn it around so that the back of it faces the kitchen, for a change, later, yes? That way you can put the T.V. in the corner, and let the couch be the room divider. Plus, you get to look out the window, too! Just an idea!
What a great idea to put Freddie's "good morning" greeting on t-shirts!! Luv it!!!
Your home is coming together so beautifully! Rodrigo, you are doing a great job with your carpentry & electrical skills.
I think the recessed lighting is enough ceiling lighting for that area. A small table lamp on a corner table or small bookcase would look nice.
Have you decided if or where you're going to mount a TV ?
The smile on both of your faces showed that all the hard work was worth it.
So happy for you.
Another room done.
Excited to see which area you start on next.
Paint boards white and immediately wipe them, and you will get a very similar outcome. “White wash”. Some people only use the white resin at the bottom of the can and do not mix the cans. You can also use a slightly damp rag to wipe off and control the final amount. Stain also can be used.
I was thinking about white stain. Would be a whole lot easier, cleaner and quicker. Just my opinion! :)
For the chandelier: I would recommend not having a chandelier and instead have a floor lamp. The recessed lighting is perfect.
Everything is looking so cute, but since you can change which side of the couch the chaise part is on, I really think it might be better on the other side, by the wall... the way it is set up right now, the chaise blocks the flow of traffic from your front door, and your kitchen, to the livingroom. Also, just for a future tip... if you want the "farmhouse finish" on your boards, there is an easier way, waiting less paint, and no sanding.... just take a small amount if paint, depending on how much you are going to paint, and thin it with water, or floetrol. Start with a small amount of water, and experient, until you get it the right thinness, and right amount of transparency... then just paint it on the boards... if it is too opaque, just take a wet/damp paper towel, and wipe some off. You will figure it out after a little experimenting, how to get the look you want...😊
I love the white accents. I think it's a good choice.
Lol, it's called whitewashed. The way it's normally done is watered down white paint, brushed on and then wiped off. Very similar process as staining. But, what you're doing works too, your style is more like a distressed look. ❤
I like the style of hanging light you have in the bathroom. The kitchen lights are SUPER cool for the kitchen, but for the living room something a little cozier seems right. You two reminiscing in the shed made me think you should do a recap of all that you've done over the years from the tree house and shower in the jungle to where you are now. It would show you how far you've come. I've also heard other channels say that those recap videos often bring in a lot of new viewers, which leads to lots of new subscribers. You can even highlight how much faster your progress is now that Freddie is on Lola's farm. You could do merch too! Just find a drop ship company create some designs.
Dimmer switches on all recessed lighting, floor lamp and table lamps. Move sofa so long part is under the window, which will open up your living room, the long part is cutting into the space and making it look and feel smaller.
You guys!! It looks SO GOOD!!! I thought the black was cool & industrial looking but the white looks so much brighter! I can't wait to see it all finished with furniture & plants & such!
Agree about the black - looked very rich and dramatic w the wood
I agree with you, also like the black
I get it but they're not in a NYC loft, leaving the black would have been like living in a cave. I bet Freddie will be much happier with their light and bright Jungle- Farm House!
When touching the metal to confirm that it is not electrified - use the back side of your hand. Then, IF it is electric (a mistake) the juice will not contract your muscles- you will be able to let go of the metal !! Actually the muscle contraction will move your arm AWAY from the metal.

You need to”dimmers” on your recessed lighting!
❤👍
Hello,
I watch faithfully and am so inspired to see a fellow Hispanic live out there dreams!!
I recently renovated by hand my entire first floor. I would say try, try your best to complete the grout for the floor. Take it from me, I waited months and spent many hours trying to scrape fur, dirt and junk from the tile lines. Trust me
It’s impossible…
good idea about having merch, with "good morning in the morning" we will watch this space xx
Congratulations on finding your phone
Recess lighting with the fan would be ideal..
Also, if I were you, I’d move those stairs to run parallel to each other ..
Recessed lighting is also called canned lighting. I think all the living room should be recessed lighting with a dimmer switch and add either floor or table lamps as accent/artisic pieces or focal points. I think the highest ceiling in the house should have fans. If you have too many ceiling focal points, they compete with each other instead of being admired, that’s why it’s better to have speciality table or floor lamps as accents.
Living room: leave it just recessed (meaning built in or set into a surface) lighting in the living room and use floor or table lamps along with it. I do like the idea of a chandelier over your dining table and one over your steps. Too many will be visually unappealing and shrink the open feeling of your space. All my opinion for what it'sworth, of course! You do you! Looks great so far!
My suggestion would be to make a smaller version of the kitchen. And hang One over the dining table chandelier should be over/in the staircase You may find that the 6 cam lights in the living room are plenty. And with the chandelier in the staircase, it will light up the whole downstairs. Love you guys and don't worry about English. This English-speaking person appreciates it. You guys are doing a great job. Can't wait to see the rest of what about the top of that still up there and then living room? You didn't put a white board there. Love you two
The lights that you put in the living room looks so wonderful I don't think you need a chandelier maybe a few lamps but that's it
Freddy, you are doing a great job on the videos. You guys are very good together. Enjoying the videos. The place is looking great. Slow and steady your place is coming together.
The white boards you are making is called “white washed”. The easiest way to make them is mixing paint with water to thin the paint and when you paint the boards the wood will show thru. No sanding is needed.😊
White washed boards are done with thinned paint that allo s the wood grain to show through. Quick English lesson, for designers “distressed” is the word used to describe boards or other materials that look worn from use.
Recessed lighting can also be used in the kitchen. Not too many chandeliers for an A frame you need rustic.
Rodrigo, introduce Freddy to “culantro” from Panamá. Here in the states you find only cilantro which is a lot milder than the delicious culantro from Panamá. You guys can grow them too. Also teach her how to make “Arroz con coco y guandu”. She will love it as she is a vegetarian. Grow guandu peas too. Did you teach her yet how to make patacones y platanitos fritos? Enséñale y verás que feliz la harás. Freddy es una excelente chef y se que disfrutaría mucho aprender platos típicos panameños especialmente el saber que está honrando tu cultura Panameña también.😋
The kitchen needs lights for doing work. Your dining room needs the table lighted. The living room is most likely just for relaxing and TV viewing, perhaps reading books and magazines too. So lighting on a dimmer switch is a good idea. If you were to add a desk in the living room then you can have a desk lamp on it. If you need more light for reading at the couch you can add a tall lamp next to the couch for that. All of this means there is no not any need for a chandelier in the living room. That solves the issue for would it look good to have one because the answer is you do not need one.
I think a small ceiling fan is a good option since he already has the hole drilled and electrical wires there. Not a large one, just a small one would suffice. It would definitely help when it gets hot out to cool them off. 😊
Rodrigo and Freddie. Greetings from Puerto Rico. You won’t believe it but about a month ago we purchased the same couch with the same pillows! We love it too!
I like the couch the way it is. It defines the living room space and makes it cozy, yet is low enough to not 'block' any view or lighting. Just my humble opinion, but I truly like it the way you have it. Love the recessed lights, another chandelier I think would be too much. Maybe just a larger recessed light in the middle with a dimmer for those rainy, cozy nights. Love to both and Roger and all the dogs, Moo Moo, chickies, etc. etc. lol
Whoop, whoop, you are a clever young man. Well done Freddie for all the help and support you’ve given to Rodrigo. The living room looks fantastic ❤xx
The couch is perfect! Adding a standing lamp will look great and I do like the spot-lights that you can "dimmer" and brighten. 🌻
White washing is simple. Take paint add water (depending how much wood you want to show). Apply the wash and wipe back. That way you don’t have to sand. I refinish furniture and I love this look.
A larger version of the basket light in the bathroom-I don’t remember if your bathroom or Kailey and Jordan’s…it’s going to match the other one in the kitchen and I would put it on a dimmer switch. It will make a beautiful ambience through the holes in the basket! That’s my vote!! Great job guys!
It looks stunning !!! Love it 🥰👏✨
You want the living room to be warm and cozy .
Love watching your videos.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi there! I agree with others, Use plywood on the ceiling and paint it white. Freddie, add Water to your white paint for the white washed look on your trim boards, no need to sand. ❤Tongue and groove boards for all natural look.on the walls.🥰 btw, love the work shed👍 …I live in a tropical humid state and I also agree with a ceiling fan for the living room that has low medium and high speed, a fan running will prevent mold from growing..constant air flow😍
❤ yes making the house a home so proud for you two. BLESSINGS TO YOU. 😊
IMO skip living room chandelier. Use warm lighting in a lamp or if you want the chandelier, same chandelier smaller, 1-2 lights, warmer with rattan or bamboo lamp shades/basket weave. Or skip and add a fan instead.
LIGHTING: Different but coordinating w the one in kitchen. Possibly a slightly different shape...like circular.
Glad you are feeling awesome about your couch!!
My vote is for no chandelier in the living room. Table lamps are perfect for this space. If u want another chandelier, try over the dining table😊
Make the another kitchen light maybe a longer one to fit the living room. It will pull the theme from the kitchen to the living room
To get a white washed look, add water to your paint if it is water based. It gives a transparent look to the wood then you don’t need to sand it. 👍😊👍
You should also invest in a dehumidifier for your home to pull out excess moisture.
Rodrigo your dream is coming along so beautifully. You have worked so hard and now Lady F is such a hard working part of it too. Since she loves to read, maybe do a library walk next to the living room for her books and decoration. It will be her special corner. You have your he- shed, I'm not living you out. Congrats, many more blessings for both. I look forward to your video and my cup of coffee every Sunday morning. I just ordered coffee to contribute towards the medical expenses. I will enjoy it soon watching you both transform your castle into a beautiful oasis. Much lunch. God's love and blessings always.
I would put a round LED-light there, which is hanging close to the ceiling. It will not disturb the view into the room and it fits with the modern look of the 6 little lights. As you have seperated parts of room, it will underline this.
You can have a projector as a TV 📺
Maybe you can also build a little book shelf beside the sofa 🛋️📚
Recessed lights in the living room plus a floor lamp. The place you,'ll need a nice chandelier is over the dining room table !
I like the black trim around windows. For corner of wood walls I would do the same color stain as the wood so it will blend in... It all looks beautiful ❤️❤️
You don’t need anymore ceiling lights and copying the exact same light as the kitchen would take away from the uniqueness of that light. Get mood lighting with a nice table lamp (as another person suggested). If you do put something there definitely install a fan. You can also install a dimmer to light panel so that you can dim the recessed lights to be different levels of intensity.
Black trim!!!! White ceilings for brightness. Just the way it looks now - black gives the grey and wood tones some pizazz!!!!
Love the white trim. Recessed light only in living room, with maybe a standing lamp by the couch. Everything looking beautiful! ❤
I love the recessed lights! However, they may be a bit bright while watching movies and relaxing on your new and beautiful couch. You might consider adding a dimmer switch to the recessed light switch so you can control the brightness of the lights as desired. Additionally, instead of adding a light fixture to the living room ceiling, you might consider placing a floor lamp behind the couch. I and if you decide to go with the floor lamp, look for one that allows you to select the brightness of the light. You can either purchase smart bulbs and control them with the Alexa (or similar) app or purchase a touch sensitive floor lamp. And finally, if you are really set on hanging a light fixture from the ceiling, suggest you hang it over the dining room table with smart bulbs or with a dimmer light switch so you can easily dim the lights for dinner or brighten the lights for game night with your friends. Mucho amor….
You two work together so well. The living room with the white accents is off the charts. Thanks for showing us what two loving people can accomplish together. Until the next one be safe and prosper. Ciao.
No chandelier in living room. Recessed lights are enough ceiling light. Get a floor lamp. Two chandeliers will look very busy
I love the ceiling fan idea. But I love the chandelier you made. Maybe another one in the bedroom? Ceiling fan will be something you love in the summer.
If you are unsure about a center light in the living room area, take the basket weave one from your bathroom and just tack it up so that you can stand back and look at the whole effect and see if you like different fixtures from a distance, before you start drilling holes! 😂
I would get a dimmer switch for the ceiling lights. If you do the chandelier do the same as the kitchen. Small space to much going on, keep it the same and it won't be overwhelming. Make sure you cover the sofa with a tarp when you do the dusty work!
We call it Distressed or antiqued when sanding wood for aged look. So much detail the recessed lights are tucked into surface. Also called puck lights. A chandelier could be big branch and or vines strung with twinkle lights.
Looks amazing, definitely no chandelier in living room. All recessed lighting is classier with a lamp in the corner, a stand up lamp and a coffee table. Also I’m hoping your dinning room is just temporary and you are going to finish it the same way as the living room, but here you do put a chandelier in the center. You guys are doing a great job and I look forward to your weekly videos
You could always put a matching chandelier in the dining area. It would make the 2 areas flow together.
I have been checking all day for a new Rodrigo and Freddie video!!!! Yay. The living room is beautiful.
Keep the black and white color but go for different shapes in the lighting fixtures, chandelier over the dining table. ❤ it's looking so good in there. Love the couch!
Oh, you guys!!! That looks awesome!! Love the couch! That is one I have always wanted as well. Carrying it all the way down the Aframe must have been interesting. Can't wait to see more completions!
That looks great you guys! Awesome Rodrigo.
Beautiful couch!! If it is made out of fabric, buy this spray called, “Scotch Guard”. It will put an invisible spray later if protection so you can easily wip up any dirt or spilled items like drinks or food.
Well the “PRAY” part actually worked so well …for your phone as well as the wood 🤪🤣
Chandeliers are wonderful, UNTIL they have to be cleaned. We have found this to be true here in Mexico. Our friends with Old Colonial Homes with Original Chandeliers have a bunch of trouble keeping them free of insects and dust. Great job guys!!
Love that couch!!! You did good!!
Keep the same kind of light in your lounge as you have in your kitchen, it is amazing ❤❤❤❤
This looks amazing! So happy for you guys, such an exciting journey for you guys and I love watching your videos. Sending some love from Boston!
Awesome video it was a great place to end the video as well with the couch. I was praying I wouldn’t have to wait until next week. God bless you guys love from Colorado.
Wanting things perfect is because of a European upbringing. We’re always so hard on ourselves.
A ceiling fan in the center with a light. Get a contemporary design.
I agree with recessed lighting. No chandeliers in the living room. Ceiling fan in the rustic look as your light in the kitchen. You are doing beautiful work. I love to see your progress please consider more videos.
I agree, a fan in the middle and put recessed lights throughout. The home is coming together nicely.
The white trim looks soooo fantastic !!! Bravos.
Amazing job guys!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing the love xxx
What a great asset Freddie is to the farm & the building project with her special touches. The lighting you have is plenty, a chandelier would be too cluttered. Use another reset light for the center ceiling light or a shallow (upside down) bowl style light. A ceiling fan could work too but you may have a better position in the house for that. I'm a big fan of floor & table lamps. Also, up-light lamps create a lovely diffused soft light. A dimmer switch would be a great asset. Love the white accent look. You guys are doing so well. Get on with that floor though or you'll have problems matching the new with the older ones as they get damaged with the edges left unprotected the way they are. Watch out for Rodger pulling his claws on that beautiful couch! ...he will need some strong discipline when he starts that.
Keep the great work up you guys, the contrast with the white trim and stained wood look amazing.
Well done….
Just stay with the recessed lights, just put them on a dimmer switch so you can adjust the lighting to the mood at the time…..
Add a side lamp to create more atmosphere at night….
I would put a similar light fitting to the kitchen one over the dining table….
The country/cottage look is great. The mottled wood is called “shabby chic”. Google for more ideas. An inexpensive vintage table could be cut to size for a coffee table and painted, scuffed up and be very attractive. Drawers or shelves would be great for storage.
You don't have to use a specific stain to whitewash wood-you can simply dilute white paint with water. For a thicker whitewash-which is great for a farmhouse look- you'll mix 2 parts paint to 1 part water. a thinned-out whitewash for a subtle, elevated look. For this, you'll need 1 part paint to 1 part water. It would eliminate the sanding off of the white paint, then you could seal it afterwards.
