I love that you focus on design & not trend. A lot of print media, and TV (HGTV), RU-vid, etc. are all about trend, and making your space look exactly like the moment. They all seem the same, you could even say cookie cutter. They don't say anything about who lives there. They're so generic and that bugs me. I want to see a space that says something about the soul of the person who lives there. Thanks for using your talent and knowledge not only to entertain us but enlighten us and educate us on how all of the elements of design work together to create a space that evokes a feeling and tells a story.
Marina, I must say your followers are profoundly loyal! I see that you posted this video only an hour ago, and already your fans have found it and left you your well-deserved high praise.
I never tire of The Parent Trap ranch home. So stylish and beautiful with the open air concept. I've always loved the (90s version) Father of the Bride home as well. Two very different homes, but both are just so lovely.
This video has helped me with a 3 things I have recently been thinking about. #1 Buying a new door, #2 what color to paint the entryway, viewable from living room #3 whether to remove some vintage advertising "tins" hanging in the kitchen, because I didn't want it to seem dated. And I'm absolutely letting them be. They are unique, I love them and each has a story. Thank you!
Another great job. You bring up points I would of never thought about. Front doors making a first impression. I would love to see Dick Clark’s Flintstone house. It is definitely different and would be fun to go through it. Thanks Marina ❤️
Amazing work as always Marina! 1954 A Star is Born is my all time favorite movie. I’ve always thought Norman and Vicki’s Malibu house was stunning but I’ve never taken the time to look at too closely, thank you SO MUCH for! I’m able to see so many details I’ve never noticed before. One of my favorite features is that indoor tree/planter/atrium. Thank you ❤️❤️
I fell in love with this version of A Star is Born on a plane a few years ago. After that I wanted to make a tour of the home. It's amazing. But the movie was fabulous too. Now it's one of my favorites.
The mystery has literally been killing me softy my whole life and now because of you has been released. This is a dream come true for me. Everything now has a completely different perspective and it’s amazing!!! Thank you so much!! The Golden Girls home would make my life complete.
I may get to that home someday. I'm glad you liked this tour. I've always loved this home and wanted to explore it and understand the layout better myself. 😊
I really love seeing these homes through your eyes. As I listened to this video, I thought about my own home and what I tell about myself. Lots of textures and layers, unique pieces (like my mermaid hanging light), tons of books, lots of musical instruments and mostly my own artwork and not one single TV. Nothing trendy here.
I can't help myself, but my eye instantly goes to the sculptured window coverings in the Star, and the stained glass in Parent Trap & FLW homes are normally full of both wood sculpture & stained glass. Incredible. Although..I'm mad for decorative ceramic tiles as well as were used on the stairs in Parent. I love the look of stone outside on homes, not so much inside because it just looks like a cleaning & maintenance nightmare to me.
Great as always ❤ My favorite movie home is The Changeling with George C Scott. I always remembered the house had 4 levels and a beautiful staircase and large principal rooms decorated in the period of that style of home.
Thank you for doing this series, Behind The Scenes. There are so many more tours you can do of movie and TV homes. The movie The Money Pit is all about a house, which might be a good one for you to do a video on.
Living Room #1 (4:13) I especially like the tri-coloured floor lamp, with shades angled as though they were klieg lights. Living Room #3 (14:38) “The set design is to die for.” Ahem! LOL! Thank you for yet another entertaining, informative, and beautifully produced tour.
Another great video, I really enjoy cinema inspired design and love the design of the three movies you highlighted in this video!!! Your work is amazing!!!!! Can’t wait to see your next video!!!!!
Our home may not be fancy or elaborate, but neither are we. Everything has been collected over time. Family heirlooms, travel momentos, and art work made by local artists. All furniture is either vintage or chosen for quality not trends. Colors and textiles get changed according to season or as my tastes change. Keeping walls neutral to allow everything to speak for itself. The hard part is keeping it from being "too much". It's a balancing act. I love to rotate items to keep it feeling fresh. Thank you for your videos they help guide me in telling our families story.
Love these videos, it really makes me think about my own style tastes and how I want to incorporate my passions and interests into decorating my home. And btw, that bar with the swivel TV is ingenious, my favorite!
Wow! My Aunt Rose and Uncle George had a similar pull-down brass lamp over their dining table in the 60s. I would love to have it over my breakfast table today. As a child I thought it was fascinating. I wonder if they were copying it from "A Star Is Born" While not for me, I'm growing to appreciate MCM architecture, design, and decorating. I have furnishings and decorations in my home that I bought 40 years ago but still feel like me and who I am, and others I add and subtract as my life changes. Thanks for this video!
All three of these designs are just so "chef's kiss." Thank you. FYI I just watched "Tales of Terror" last night and I recommend checking out the set design. It would be fun to see a tour with sets from a horror film that discusses your principles. So many good ones to choose from. Thanks.
In case you haven't already seen them, I made two tours of the entire home. Here is the main floor and outside tour: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-If72RskfAv0.html and here is the upstairs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U4BGvE2PYXE.html
Your video tours of movie homes are such a treat! I love them all, and appreciate your tremendous efforts and insights into what makes a set great. My personal goal is to design my own home in such a way that you can’t tell the era, I want a truly classic space that defies obvious trend markers, but it’s hard to do! Trends are so alluring in the moment. All three of these homes accomplished that goal perfectly. Though done in the 60s they are still stunning by today’s standard and that is remarkable!
Love your comment that your goal is to design your home in such a way that you can't tell the era. And you're right, trends are alluring but always pass.
I love mid-century lamps. Lamps weren’t ugly after-thoughts back then. In antique stores (my happy place), lamps are MASSIVE like you see in cinema of the day. Now it’s as though lamps should emit light but not be seen. It’s really difficult to find decent floor lamps until you go into the $$$$ level.
Fantastic as always. 👏 I've always loved the set design in Auntie Mame and how her living room design changes to reflect where she is in her life. Marina -- if you do another TV show set, please consider The Nanny. I've been watching it again (on HBO Max). 90s style, but the sets have so much depth! Would love to see you recreate!
I love Auntie Mame. I intend to do The Nanny someday. And I interviewed the art director of that show, Bill Brzeski for something else, but asked him questions about The Nanny while I was at it, so I would include that footage.
I've had several requests for that home, so I might someday. In case you don't already know, You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ru-vid.comvideos?view_as=subscriber
How about a series on Hitchcock homes? I absolutely love the apartment in Rope, and so Jimmy Stewart's apt. and courtyard in Rear window, and finally Norman Bates's place, house and motel!
I did North by Northwest and I plan on getting to Rear Window later this year. And, someday for Halloween- who knows, maybe this year, I'm going to do the motel and house from Psycho. I loooove the apartment in Rope too. Someday I'll get to that one.
What gorgeous homes these are. Makes me want to see the movies. I already did see "Parent Trap" due to your video. I have not seen this version of "A Star is Born" only the one with Barbra Streisand in 1976. I think looking at the homes is a huge reason we enjoy the films so much. Makes me dream of living there.
I plan to someday. I've had a lot of requests. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ru-vid.comvideos?view_as=subscriber
Hi Marina. I love the first one the most. The third one would be second and that leaves the second third. I must admit that The Brady Bunche’s home is my favourite so far but they are all lovely in their own right xx
I suspect that they wouldn't be decorated any differently today. Unless I'm missing the point (Marina, please correct me if I am), the fundamental principle is that these homes are a representation of the people who live in them. The design elements, thus, are relatively timeless (assuming the characters themselves haven't changed) and the central pieces would likely be the same in any decade.
Yes. I agree. They were designed for their personalities and lives. If they are the same people, they could slip right back into them. Maybe just update the appliances 😉
It's my all-time favorite movie home! I made a full tour of the home. It's in 2 parts. You can see those and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ru-vid.comvideos?view_as=subscriber
Thank you. Not yet. But I am planning on doing it. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ru-vid.comvideos?view_as=subscriber
Gee, I'm neither big and broad-shouldered like Brian Keith, nor theatrical like Judy Garland. I guess I'll get my design inspiration from Bilbo Baggins' house in The Hobbit. LOL
That's a good suggestion. I don't think anyone has requested it before. And it's a great home. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ru-vid.comvideos?view_as=subscriber
Marina Coates I like to know are those like homes for tourist to go see ? I also like to know are those homes are for exterior shot for movies that are film in the studios and studios backlot ?
Sadly none of them are homes we can visit. The interiors we shot in a studio. The exteriors were matte paintings and/or small portion of the exterior built when needed for certain shots.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane , of course, I’m simply carried away. I don’t know how many practical lessons people can take from that Victorian gothic wedding cake of a place, and I feel like you’re going for an instructive vibe here. But the CG work here is brilliant, and I’d love to tour that house. Keep up the good work!
Ah, but it is an actual living room. It's the actual living room of the characters portrayed in the movie. Why does it matter if the people who live there are real or fictional? The point is what it represents, and Marina has once again done a spectacular job of identifying artistic elements that can be applied in real-life situations. Do what you want in your own home, but for me, I'll take a hard pass on Benjamin Moore's Shaker Beige HC-45, opting for color and depth over pablum.
Dumbass’s that are obsessed with living rooms lol , it’s a movie set, aka half of it is gutted out for all the staff, actors, extras, cameras, equipment, catering, etc none of them actually exist today
Um, the whole raison d'etre of this channel is cinematic design. Did you get lost? The handy search bar at the top will take you to "actual living room" design, if that is what you want. And maybe pick up some manners on the way there?
Another great job. You bring up points I would of never thought about. Front doors making a first impression. I would love to see Dick Clark’s Flintstone house. It is definitely different and would be fun to go through it. Thanks Marina ❤️
