This is the one I have been waiting for! I loved this home and every minute of your presentation. I have lived in CT all my life and can really relate to this home. Although my home growing up was much smaller and not as grand as this home, my parents bought it in 1965 brand new when I was 7 years old. We had the hardwood floors, bay windows and braided rugs. My mom decorated it in the same style as this home at the time called "colonial style". I kept their maple end tables and coffee table in my living room to this day. I have always been fascinated with homes and decorating, even as a child. This country home was a "dream home" for me. PS--I loved all the escaped chicks in the den, LOL!! ❤

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Glad you noticed the 🐥 🐤 Sounds like you grew up in a "comfort food" home. 😊

I too have always been interested in house decor and design. I'm much older and retired and wonder if a decorating course will be in my future.

[@dianetheisen8664]

Debby Pochy: I, too, always loved this country home 🏡 (I live in Michigan). But I've always pictured a 'country' home 🏡 like this. At 1️⃣ point in my life I bought a lot Up North and had a house 🏡 built intending to live there upon my retirement. Remembering the Ricardos country house 🏡 I had a stone fireplace installed. I loved it.

[@mapleleaf0]

I sure was disoriented in how I was originally thinking of how the house was laid out. Wow. This was great and so fun! What a boon to get Keith for an interview!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

No matter how well I know a show and think I know the home, I always find surprises when I start researching it.

Born in 1952, this has always been my absolute favorite show. Such a treat to see their country home, and watch Keith’s interview. Having been a child actress in the 50’s and 60’s, I regrettably never had the opportunity to work Lucy, but worked at Desilu Studios often. Thank you for a wonderful tour. Brought tears to my eyes!

@@debbiem6406 Good for you! I bet you have some great stories.

[@mrs.anonymous6291]

Hi Marina, I have a funny story for you, while redecorating my 18 year old daughter's bedroom I became obsessed with decorating her room with the painting "Prima Ballerina" by Edgar Degas but I didn't understand why. I found a beautiful gilded frame, oil copy of "Prima Ballerina" for her room along with another one. Then one day I saw your episode of the NY apartment and low and behold bingo there was the oil painting of "Prima Ballerina" a painting I must have seen in Lucy's apartment my whole childhood (I was always obsessed with it, the painting) , it all clicked during that episode and now again of the country house! I love that Lucy took this masterpiece along with her to her country home, that I too always felt was my dream home some day . Anyway, I am so relieved I figured that out thanks to your channel pointing that out to me. See it just goes to show how things can leave an impression on you as a child and you don't know why - too funny! Another wonderful vlog please research King of Queens. They have a great house but the show is far from vintage...

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Love it. Thanks for sharing that story. 😊 I will be doing Doug and Carrie's home someday for sure.

[@debbieomi]

What a special treat to have Keith take part in this! I am always tickled by most of the kitchens in these homes and how impractical they were. Like Lucy really cooked on a wood stove! lol

[@TVHouseHistorian]

One thing I was always fascinated with has to do with how both set and story depict the economy of the home. On television, it seems like the characters are sitting on mountains of cash. Notice how even though Ricky palled at Lucy’s lavish expenditure, he didn’t make her take any of it back. I know I’ve said it before, but I so appreciate the careful research you do in order to complete these sets. This home definitely has “early 1900’s east coast vibes.” I think set designers are so clever how they create these homes to make the viewer really believe these shows are actually being shot in their context. For Ricky & Lucy, it was Connecticut. For 3’s Company, it was Santa Monica/LA. For Frasier it was Seattle. I love how set designers fool us.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

This was neato-o! I guess it was another season but the back door that Fred & Ethel used from their cottage I thought was farmhouse door. Maybe I'm just thinking that because it would have fit. And I think that the den, being that the living room/dining room was so large so there was plenty of area for family & guests - the den would have been Ricky's retreat & office, where he could work at home away from Lucy's shenanigans. I'm sure too that the set design had Lucy's fingerprints all over it, having read the book Lucy Jr. says she found in a hatbox after she'd passed away Lucy did indeed no matter how important the career was ALWAYS wanted the marriage & family life top drawer priority in their lives & worked like crazy to achieve that, in fact quite making life a bit difficult for those who didn't get it. That's my interpretation of how things were. Anyway, I loved the tour. The WAX 🌷 bed was pictured!! Lucy's competitive nature shows once again! Looking forward to their snazzy Hollywood digs too. I always thought that suite was sweet - even though I love the traditional 50s look too, which I guess NOW it is. Nice to see Keith as well & hear his memories, and I appreciate his kind words on Desi Arnez who often isn't given the credit he deserves for his vast contributions to the show. Nice to hear that Mr.Frawley was nice to him as well, you usually hear he was nothing but disagreeable. Thanks Keith! 🐤🐥😁

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I like the idea of Ricky having a place to get away from Lucy's shenanigans. 😊 Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@christopherleodaniels7203]

I was thinking the same thing about Keith’s statements on Mr. Frawley. But it tracks with a TV Archives video, on KZbin, with Barry Livingston speaking about working with Frawley on ‘My Three Sons’. He described Frawley as hilariously grumpy, who drank his lunch to the point where they’d appoint him to go get Frawley back on set, and he always had great bawdy stories and used very inappropriate language around them. And, of course, the boys absolutely LOVED him, and it was mutual. By contrast, Livingston described Bill Demarest, who replaced Frawley but had conquered his demons, as just grouchy, very disciplined, and not much fun at all.

Great job in illustrating this set design. Having an architectural and architectural history background, the geometric angles I am not sure during that time would have been there. They would likely be more 90-degree angles among farmhouse or colonial style homes. But of course, I understand that these angles were for perspective and set design purposes. But I love the concept and design you produced, and you did an amazing job. It is so cool to watch. Something about I Love Lucy and Lucy Desi Comedy Hour, I started watching these, of course were re-runs by the time I was them in the 90s, but interestingly, generations after generations of children, still love this show. Even my little girl in the mid 2010s, absolutely loves the show. I to loved them all, but my favorite is when they moved to the country home for sure. And with my architectural background, I just love this home, and of course these episodes and stories. Thank you for designing this, as well as providing some of the filming and stories behind the episodes. Thank you again!

Oh this was the best! Thanks so much Marina. I’m a big I Love Lucy fan, and I loved her country house because it didn’t seem pretentious, but rather something an “average” American family could afford to live in. Thanks again!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Glad you liked it. It's an amazing home.

[@patrickhallahan7008]

Thank you! I love to see the inside of these houses. I used to always imagine what the entire house looked like.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I'm glad you're enjoying these tours.

[@vincentlara4563]

Thanks Marina! As always, love your TV sitcom sets. They always bring back memories and are just so cool! I look forward to seeing their Hollywood visit hotel suite.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I can't wait to get to that one. And it's basically one room - albeit a GORGEOUS one. So it wouldn't take near as long as a regular home.

[@purposefilledlife]

Oh my gosh Marina, you did it! 😍 I can't tell you how excited I was too see that you did my absolute favorite TV home, with the runner up being the Bewitched house.(which is my other fave tour of yours) We had chatted about you loving this one too, and for me to rest assured that it was on your list for sure and yay, here it is! 👍🏻😁 You fulfilled your promise to do "Lucy's Country Home" so beautifully and so beyond what I hoped for! Wow, what a crazy good job you did! Loved everything, putting it in color, your 4th wall additions were perfect!👍🏻 the Mertz's guest cottage, the still frames from the show, the interview with Kieth Thibodaux aka "little Ricky," everything you researched and said that was so heartfelt and true about going beyond Nostalgia to evoking such good memories of simpler times. I know I'm gushing on, but you really knocked it out of the park and it really made my day! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us. So fun! ❤ P.S. I know it was sort of obscure, but I had fond memories of the "Eddie's Father" series too, in case ya needed any suggestions.😉💕👍🏻

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it that much. 😊

[@scottiewhisenant1326]

[@FilmFanization]

Thank you so much for creating this home! I loved their Connecticut home when they did the show there. I always wondered what that whole house would have looked like, and you got it perfect! what a great interview with Keith Thibodeaux! That made this video extra special! Thank you so much again for all the work you put into your videos!! They are wonderful!

[@GR-ll5sd]

What you do is absolutely wonderful and fascinating. I have always been interested in architecture and floor plans. When you research things to add on parts of TV homes where the fourth wall is, it makes a beautiful home even more realistic. That is absolutely wonderful that you are dedicated to something that everyone can enjoy and appreciate. Thank you so much for your time for such wonderful work and to let us all see these homes. Very, very much appreciated.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you! That's very kind.
