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.

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!

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.

Like the Golden Girls house interior in no way matched the outside.

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!

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

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.

I have always been a movie buff & into pop culture, but seeing the amazing jobs you have done , you have gotten me into watching shows I grew up watching such as “The Jefferson’s” which is now free on Prime & with the interesting info you have giving on each house, you make me look at shows differently now.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane At last I got see part 2 just now! Thanks for telling me when you uploaded it. You did an amazingly detailed job on these videos. I love seeing the parts of the house that we didn’t get to see & hearing about the scene that didn’t make to film, but I want to say, I would love to see a video all about lightning as you suggested. 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. Did you know the little kid who played Junior in the Problem Child movie, had auditioned for Kevin, but was rejected because he wasn’t right for the part.

You definitely got a new subbie! These are feel-good moments!!!

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.

Sensational! that the interior was a built set somewhere else. LOL. I did not know this. Amazing that they filmed beautiful house for exterior scenes and built set for interior scenes (does that mean a family lived in the house?, approved of using the exterior for the film, but had to say no to filming inside because they lived there?). That's one of my favorite things about this movie, is the beautiful architecture of the building and the high end looking interior. I also like the interior of the church in the first movie. And I'm not surprised that the "old" movie he keeps using to scare people off was new and made up for this film. Because real old movies are copyrighted and you cannot use them without permission and you probably can't get permission. Easier to film your own so you have the rights and copyright.

I love Home Alone. Cool to see the house. Checkout my Home Alone Remake with a twist.

As always--a fantastic video, both fascinating and professionally detailed, all at the same time. If you'll permit me to offer a couple thoughts: for me, this doesn't remind me of my childhood. That's not at all a criticism of your comment; I'm just observing that this house and neighborhood were well above our economic means when I was a child. That notwithstanding, it's a charming house and lets me imagine what such a lifestyle might have been. Either way, it's successful at transporting me to another place, and that's ultimately the purpose of a movie. Second, although I understand the set designer's purpose for the el-shaped island in the kitchen, for me it has a more practical purpose. That kitchen is absolutely massive. (I think I've lived in smaller apartments!) No one in their right mind would want to walk around a 500 square foot room to make a meal. Instead, that el serves as a "return" of space and saves the cook about a 1000 steps, bringing some of the work space closer. Even though this house is nothing like any home I've personally lived in, I always try to insert myself into the space, and I'd treasure that el-shaped island from a functional perspective.

They both said all of the interiors were shot in the school gym. Mr. Muto said maybe because she was a little girl at the time she just remembered it like that. It's a mystery, but both assured me that all interior scenes were filmed in the gym.
