Tour the Home Alone House: Part 1, Main Floor [CG Tour]

[@katrish786]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for doing the Home Alone house. This is my favorite house of all time. I wanted my house to look exactly like this after seeing the movie. It evokes the most cozy, warm, content feeling everytime I see it. It was genius.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

You’re absolutely right about this movie taking folks back to a simpler place in their life. I appreciate the movie more and more as I get older, because I remember being in the 7th grade when it premiered. It reminds me of watching it as a kid with my family. I didn’t realize at the time the amazing memory we were making.

That was a nice holiday gift for us to enjoy. Wonderful, as always. My take on why we respond to this house is that it is traditionally decorated. Made back in the days when people weren't afraid of colour and didn't prize banal, empty and sterile spaces like the magazines seem to feature now. It's a house that's warm, cheerful and cosy. Bravo to Mr. Muto!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Yes - Bravo to Mr. Muto! You're right, it's nice to see rooms full of color.

[@katrish786]

Agreed.

[@edennis8578]

Not just magazines. I scrolled through a list of KZbin Christmas decorating videos yesterday and was astonished at how many women decorate in all white with metallic accents. No color. I had a hard time finding any videos that used Christmas colors.

[@creepydoll2872]

I cannot stand the gray, light woods, white tile and concrete, give it maybe 15 years and people will be ripping out that stuff and putting color back in as trends cycle back again

[@cynthialambert9067]

@@creepydoll2872 It's already been 15 years and colour is back in, I'm pleased to say. Only people who don't know any better think neutrals are still in. They are behind the times.

I first watched Home Alone when it was released here in the UK in 1990. Then watched it with my daughter late 90's when she was 9 until she was an adult. Now I watch it with my grand daughter. Its a staple in our home through-out Christmas.

[@stevieboy7873]

I’m with you on this too. I was only 8 when this came out but now Iv five kids and a grandson at a year old and we still watch home alone . Something cool too that I still have my talk boy tape recorder I got as a kid when home alone 2 came out and it still works

[@TVHouseHistorian]

All of the details John offers here absolutely fascinate me. One could swear the movie was shot inside the actual house. I'm just blown away how they were able to recreate this masterpiece home so meticulously - even right down to the exterior views outside the windows and front door. You guys talked about how this movie home strikes such a nostalgic cord with people. Everything you said I completely agree with, but I would also posit that the selection of the McAllisters' home (a home worth defending) prior to filming probably plays a big role in how it connects with the audience. All the wonderful nostalgia aside, for me, this home screams Americana. Perhaps it represents the "ideal" warm, comfortable home many of us were able to spend Christmas in when we were growing up. From the wallpaper to the Chippendale dining room suite, to the warm fireplace, to the portraits on the walls, and especially all the interior colors - it all reminds me of grandma and grandpa's house, or even the home on Happy Days. It just has that "Americana feel" to it. It seems like set design is such a science. Good set designers, location scouts, and story writers seem to know what home environment we are going to connect with, and the Home Alone house is no exception. If nothing else, it is SO Christmasy! Thanks for another lovely tour!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Love all your thoughtful comments. And I agree - the choice of house is a big reason it resonates with so many people.

[@dawncookie]

As a kid whose idea of doodling in class was drawing floor plans, I’ve always appreciated that this house’s layout matched the exterior. It drives me nuts when I watch a movie or show and the room layout clearly doesn’t match the exterior shot of the house. Great video, I subscribed to your channel half way through

You honestly deserve some sort of special award for this, and all of your works. They are so incredibly detailed, they are astounding. Shadows, reflections, light switches, plugs. You miss NOTHING. The wallpapers are perfect. That said, I must have watched this movie ten times before it occurred to me the entire house is decorated in Christmas colors...and even many of the clothes are Christmas colors! How immersive and creative and clever! Brilliant, brilliant work, Marina. You are genius!

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

I love how you said “all great design is personal”. It’s so true. Once someone takes all the personal out of their home the colors all go, the photographs, the little collectibles etc. it takes all the life right out. This we end up with boring greys and whites. Peoples lives are not lived in grey and white. There’s nothing wrong with making your space a place that makes you happy. If that means a purple sofa will do that, then go for it! So many people are worried about what others will think, they forget to enjoy life.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I love everything you said! I have 2 shows on this channel. One is tours of TV and movie homes, but the other one is called Cinematically Inspired Design. You might like that one. It's all about making our home design personal. Look for the ones that mention storyboards in the title. Those are the episodes that go into detail on how to do that. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment.

You always find the coolest behind the scenes facts to share with us! I would have never guessed that this was filmed on a built set at a high school! I guess that’s why they hire only the best! Some of these movie/TV homes are so familiar to me that I actually feel like I’ve been there and could give someone else a tour! So interesting AND fun! Thank you! 🎄💕🙌🏻🥰

Because one of my dreams is to be a filmmaker & your videos give me a lot of insight. I was also wondering, do you take requests? Because if you do, I’d love to see you do homes from Three’s Company, Different Strokes, Silver Spoons, Punky Brewster along with the McFly home from Back to the Future as well as the detention room from The Breakfast Club.

Marina first I want to say congratulations on your growing channel. I love it here and I hope that it busts out of it seems with new subscribers! And thanks you for getting the production designer!!! I don't know why people don't think of asking set/production designers how to decorate their homes!!! Brilliant idea and it makes sense. I will be sharing your videos in the future. This house was and is WAY outside of our budget but it is a home I could see myself living in. From the decor I can see that the homeowners LOVE Christmas. The wallpapers remind me of flannel pajamas. Very traditional, New England but with a NY/LI elegance of the North Shore. I always felt as if they were very rich. Funny how I never noticed it until I started watching your videos. THEN I picked up on the decor theme. And you confirmed it via the video. Suggestion: would you do a patreon where your subscribers could get behind the scenes, a downloadable how to workbook, maybe a one on one consultation (to start)? YOU are so worth it!

Great video. Always liked this house as traditional homes are very appealing to me. It was very cool to see the set photos you were provided with as well. It'd be interesting to hear what differences there were filming in a school verses a soundstage. Normally a lot of things are suspended from the rafters, like lights, catwalks, and ceiling elements. If they didn't have the option here, they would have to possibly engineer the set pieces a little differently. And not long ago, the real house was sold and so real estate photos of its interior were available. I don't know if you show any in Part 2, but I think it's interesting to compare and contrast with the film set.
