@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane This tour is the first I've watched and your coverage of details was informative and entertaining.

I watch this, Holiday Inn, The Bishop’s Wife, It’s a Wonderful Life and a few others, over and over as I cook this time of year. Thanks for your work on these Marina. I’m an architect too, but my education was just before computer aided design came in.
This along with "The Bishop's Wife " is one of my favorites!!! I know it would be so much work- but the houses used for the Bishop and the mansion of the lady would make excellent home tours in my opinion. Thank you for this gift of a beautiful touring adventure!!!

Oh Marina, you are such a treasure! One of my favorite movies. Thank you so much for this. Look forward to every upload! ❤ Can hardly wait for the next one 😊
The all-time favourite classic Christmas movie and agree it's the perfect country inn. So appreciate your work and providing such an in-depth tour of all those features we never get to enjoy from the movies camera angles. Why it's the next best thing to actually being there visiting it as we do every Christmas! Always did recognize the use of sets in Holiday Inn, our #2 Christmas favourite....looking forward to your tour! Thanks Marina!
Maybe next year? Who knows. I haven't decided yet which ones I'll do. But, someday for sure. And, hey, maybe I can reuse parts of this set like they did and save time. 😊
Marina, I HAVE to say, this re-creation of the Inn from W. C. is honestly your VERY BEST effort to date!! What a magnificent job you've done with all the research, not leaving out ANY details of that glorious movie set! A job VERY WELL DONE, indeed!!!
Thanks SO much for doing this interior! Watching White Christmas (multiple times a season!) is a tradition in my family. My mother and father were married in October 1954 and spent their honeymoon in NYC. They went to see White Christmas at its premier. My dad passed away when I was just 16 years old. I was in my 50s before my sister told me about my folks honeymoon outing; I had no idea there was a sentimental reason that we loved the movie so much. My mom was 31 when she got married they were only married for 24 years before my dad passed. She was always sad that she didn't have more time with him, but she never mentioned to me that they saw White Christmas on their honeymoon, and never asked us not to watch it, even though it must have made her quite sad.
Thank you, Marina it was lovely to see the inn in White Christmas. I so appreciate you and your channel, there is nothing else like it and I love these old buildings. Have a lovely holiday season.
You melted my heart. I love this movie, and for all the reasons you mentioned; location, costumes; the talent and more. The dancing that Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen did after the sisters number is one of my all time favorites. I was so excited for this tour that I want more. You are a wonderful talent yourself. Thanks again, Jim
I, too, have always loved this movie and the set is gorgeous. Thank you for the time you have spent bringing it to us in more detail. I seem to remember that the girl in the movie is actually supposed to be the general's grand daughter, because I always wondered where her parents were. Happy Thanksgiving, Marina.
Yes. You're right. Others have pointed that out. I somehow missed that even though I've watched this countless times. Plus, the age difference alone should have been a clue. 😆

I am so happy you chose to make a video on the set design for this inn! I’ve loved this movie for as long as I can remember and it always seemed like such a cozy place to visit, were it real. I wonder how warm and inviting it would have been? It certainly seems like a place to have a perfect New England family vacation
@Haffmatthew I would give anything to visit a real life Inn like this, with cabins like these and this kind of entertainment, too. They could charge really high prices and I'd still run to get there.

I would love to see Rock Hudson's house in the movie with Jane Wyman ‘All That Heaven Allows.’ It was a barn of some type that he transformed into a house for her and it was very unique and outstanding and I think would make a great addition to your collection of homes you do.😄
Thanks Marina! My absolute favorite Christmas movie! I’ve seen this movie many times and honestly never even noticed the little room behind the front desk. And I never realized that the large room with the circular fireplace where they have late night snacks was in the barn. Guess that’s why you’re the architect! 😊 but correction: that’s the general’s granddaughter, not his daughter.

I thought it was just a part attached somewhere, never occurred to me that it was upstairs. GG is my next pick! And Holiday Inn too please! 😊
You make it look so real How you do Bewitched is beyond me as the set was changed as needed for the story I will have to watch and see how you did it lol I would like to see the Casablanca Bar with the office upstairs and the gambling casino

My gotta-watch-it-every-year Xmas movie! ❤ The style of the set reminds me of several movies from the 40s and 50s, where there is a lot of stone and wood and it always feels so cozy. My vote for next up would be the Golden Girls! 🧓🏻
Your videos are a delight! You remind me of my friend Ara Bentley who also has a background in architecture and uses her skills to build doll houses and make miniature scenes. She created The Addams Family Mansion with elements of all the original art of Charles Addams, the original TV show, films, cartoons, and even the musical. It was on display at a miniature museum in Tuscon, AZ for two years. Currently, she's building the house from Beetlejuice, including the underworld. Quite the challenge to fit a sound stage into a doll house and have it all make sense! She has a TH-cam channel, through which I met her about 7 years ago. Your videos give me inspiration for making my own miniatures and how to make things make sense. Thank you! I hope you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Her channel is Bentley House Minis....she has playlists for both her Addams Family mansion and her current project, the Beetlejuice house.

Absolutely my favorite movie ever! Thank you so much for doing this tour. Showing things I’ve never noticed? Like the office behind the stairs? And the stairs in the barn! I loved that fire pit in the barn, I always thought it was such a fire hazard. It actually reminds me of a video of bing crosby and frank sinatra singing “white Christmas” in franks apartment. Bing drops by for Christmas Eve dinner in 1957 and they sing around a similar fire pit in the middle of his apartment!!? It must’ve been a fad back then. I love it so much.❤ I’m curious…what are those big tubs behind the bar? Planters?

If you had the millions of dollars to recreate this place, find that perfect patch of land in Connecticut, you could do it. It was my dream ever since I first saw this movie. I think I was about 7 years old at that time. I used to love Christmas back then. Home, family and belief that magic was real.
Hello. Your videos are magical. I’m going to watch this movie again. I would love you to do a video of the homes from the movie “Leave Her To Heaven” starring Gene Tierney. Her home is beautiful and then the lake cabin. Don’t know if there are enough shots for you to do this but it would be wonderful. Thank you. 😊
@bigd4746 I love the homes in that movie. The first movie home I ever did, back before I had this channel or even my website, was the main home in that film. I never posted it anywhere because I was just learning the software. Someday, I'll go back and re-do it.
Marina, your masterful artistry is especially enchanting in this segment and brings me to eager anticipation of viewing the motion picture with a new vision! I wonder if you missed the window seats in the rear of the lodge where Judy proposes to Phil? I also wonder if the HOLIDAY INN set is more similar to the one used for CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT? Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I did get the window seats, but maybe didn't pan the camera past them for a good enough look. I'm going to bevredoing Christmas in Connecticut next year, maybe I'll figure that out then. 😊
@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Susan Waverly was her character name. She was the general's granddaughter, not his daughter, as stated in the video. And yes, I absolutely would love to stay in the Inn if someone built it. Thank you for your hard work on the re-upload. Just terrific! The upstairs would be interesting. I believe the general's room is directly above the entrance, just off the sitting area where Rosemary sits on the couch during the cast party.
Just the thing to start the holiday season off, going through the Columbia Inn! A shame you didn't use some of the movie's songs, I'll guess because of licensing. Anyway, thanks for your work bringing this 'Tyrolean haunted house' to us. Maybe for December you could feature Scrooge's office and house from the 1951 film? (Or if that's too soon, perhaps next holiday season.) Dreaming of a white Christmas... ❄️❄️❄️❄️

Have you heard of Kate and Alley? would like one on their home. Maybe the Bundy House. I haven't searched so let me know if you have done them before and I will go look.
I want to do current shows, too. I just finished Schitt's Creek not too long ago. That's the closest I've gotten to current. But I also want to do "Only Murders in the Building," and "Wednesday." I'm not familiar with "Ghosts," but I'll check it out.

You missed a few key details in the 'barn' set, namely the bar. If one looks closely, you'll notice that the height of the bar is set for standard seating, about 30" to the top of the bar. Kitchen lower cabinets and islands are a standard 36". You set the bar top at a standard 42". You'll also note that there are two steps down into the back of the bar. The reason for this design choice is for sightlines. As a set designer and a fan of this film, I have probably spent an unhealthy amount of time studding this particular set and have 'barrowed' elements from time to time. BTW...I have always imagined the floors were finished in cork tile, but linoleum would be period correct too. Anyway, thanks for the tour of the "Tirolian haunted house."

Thank you for posting this! What a classic set design. I love all your videos! I would also love to see the house in Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.
Oh and also The Holiday with Cameron Diaz, both the cottage and California home. That would be wonderful too!
@taniatbach6335 I love both ideas. The Holiday cottage is to die for!
@@taniatbach6335 I have made many other homes, too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Love your videos
Thank you!
I am so happy you chose to make a video on the set design for this inn! I’ve loved this movie for as long as I can remember and it always seemed like such a cozy place to visit, were it real.
I wonder how warm and inviting it would have been? It certainly seems like a place to have a perfect New England family vacation
@Haffmatthew I would give anything to visit a real life Inn like this, with cabins like these and this kind of entertainment, too. They could charge really high prices and I'd still run to get there.
Ummm I was wishing for this and holiday inn just yesterday!!!!! No joke
Cool. You got half of your wish. 😊
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLanethank you!!! I will call you Santa ❤
Love that set stairs
Great !

This was fun!!! I’d love to see The Office!!!
@HollyMarieF69 Glad you liked it. The Office is on my list.
Happy Thanksgiving Marina! This set has always been one of my favorites. They used it for Summer Stock with Judy Garland and Gene Kelly too!
@@trinketsmusings Cool. I didn't know that. 😊
Happy Thanksgiving.
I saw this movie on the big screen in Chicago in the early 80s. Wow was it gorgeous after seeing it only on tv growing up.
Maybe you already know, but because it's the 70th anniversary of the film, it is showing at theaters around the country. Dec. 15 - 17th. I've got my tickets. I can't wait to see it on a huge screen.
F❤BULOUS!
@@niknakpaddywack121 Thank you.
Oh yes, the Golden Girls house would be awesome ! 🥰
I would love to see Rock Hudson's house in the movie with Jane Wyman ‘All That Heaven Allows.’ It was a barn of some type that he transformed into a house for her and it was very unique and outstanding and I think would make a great addition to your collection of homes you do.😄
@@monakayk I'm in love with that place! I'll get to it someday.
Thanks Marina! My absolute favorite Christmas movie! I’ve seen this movie many times and honestly never even noticed the little room behind the front desk. And I never realized that the large room with the circular fireplace where they have late night snacks was in the barn. Guess that’s why you’re the architect! 😊 but correction: that’s the general’s granddaughter, not his daughter.
Yes. You're right. Others have pointed that out as well. Somehow, I missed that even after watching this movie countless times. The age difference alone should have been a clue. 🤷♀️

This has always been my dream house!!!
@@aumbaapa It's so amazing. What i wouldn't give to walk through a real-life version.

Marina, these are so fun! Classic movie and architecture lover here, thanks for the answered questions. I've always wondered what part of the Inn the cast party was. I thought it was just a part attached somewhere, never occurred to me that it was upstairs. GG is my next pick! And Holiday Inn too please! 😊
@@heeyabbott9838 I'll most likely do Gg early next year. 😊
Ty!!!!! I would love to see the house from Hart to Hart.
The house from MEET ME IN ST LOUIS with an interview with my friend, Margaret O'Brien! Thank you for such beautiful work!
I would love that!
Oh yes such great film shots inside and out. You get a 3 dimensional feeling for a home in that era. It's more than a set.
Love your videos so much!
Request: maxwell smart apartment - get smart
@@Marion.Tayler89 Thank you. And, interesting idea. 😊
You make it look so real
How you do Bewitched is beyond me as the set was changed as needed for the story
I will have to watch and see how you did it lol
I would like to see the Casablanca Bar with the office upstairs and the gambling casino
@@johnwarren2420 Great idea! I wonder if i could find out the real colors. Hmm. 🤔
Mary Wickes was great. She appeared on some of The Lucy Show episodes too.
@@JillMorgan-b7y Yes! I read that they were good friends. I've always loved her in anything she has been in.
@@JillMorgan-b7y I have made many other homes, too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
She was also in the movie Sister Act!
@amyfloren4581 Oh, yes! I'd forgotten that.
My gotta-watch-it-every-year Xmas movie! ❤ The style of the set reminds me of several movies from the 40s and 50s, where there is a lot of stone and wood and it always feels so cozy. My vote for next up would be the Golden Girls! 🧓🏻
Your videos are a delight! You remind me of my friend Ara Bentley who also has a background in architecture and uses her skills to build doll houses and make miniature scenes. She created The Addams Family Mansion with elements of all the original art of Charles Addams, the original TV show, films, cartoons, and even the musical. It was on display at a miniature museum in Tuscon, AZ for two years. Currently, she's building the house from Beetlejuice, including the underworld. Quite the challenge to fit a sound stage into a doll house and have it all make sense! She has a TH-cam channel, through which I met her about 7 years ago. Your videos give me inspiration for making my own miniatures and how to make things make sense. Thank you! I hope you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh, wow. That sounds interesting. What is the name of her channel? I want to check it out.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Her channel is Bentley House Minis....she has playlists for both her Addams Family mansion and her current project, the Beetlejuice house.
@rachaelkasper5445 Thank you.
THIS " INN " WAS FOREVER WELCOMING EVEN WHEN YOU 🚶♂️ 🚶♀️WALKED IN. EVEN AS MOVIE.
@@keithmerscheim1924 Yes. You're right - from the moment you walk in!

Nice :)
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Absolutely my favorite movie ever! Thank you so much for doing this tour. Showing things I’ve never noticed? Like the office behind the stairs? And the stairs in the barn! I loved that fire pit in the barn, I always thought it was such a fire hazard. It actually reminds me of a video of bing crosby and frank sinatra singing “white Christmas” in franks apartment. Bing drops by for Christmas Eve dinner in 1957 and they sing around a similar fire pit in the middle of his apartment!!? It must’ve been a fad back then. I love it so much.❤ I’m curious…what are those big tubs behind the bar? Planters?
@ssing2490 I wondered the same thing. They almost look like troughs. And, now you've got me wanting to Google the Frank Sunatra/Bing Crosby video.
@@ssing2490 I have made many other homes, too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
The Italianate Villa from "Meet Me In St.Louis." 😊
That's a good one!
If you had the millions of dollars to recreate this place, find that perfect patch of land in Connecticut, you could do it. It was my dream ever since I first saw this movie. I think I was about 7 years old at that time. I used to love Christmas back then. Home, family and belief that magic was real.
@@DavidSmith-xs3or This Inn definitely has "all the feels." 😍
Hello. Your videos are magical. I’m going to watch this movie again.
I would love you to do a video of the homes from the movie “Leave Her To Heaven” starring Gene Tierney. Her home is beautiful and then the lake cabin. Don’t know if there are enough shots for you to do this but it would be wonderful. Thank you. 😊
@bigd4746 I love the homes in that movie. The first movie home I ever did, back before I had this channel or even my website, was the main home in that film. I never posted it anywhere because I was just learning the software. Someday, I'll go back and re-do it.
Marina, your masterful artistry is especially enchanting in this segment and brings me to eager anticipation of viewing the motion picture with a new vision! I wonder if you missed the window seats in the rear of the lodge where Judy proposes to Phil?
I also wonder if the HOLIDAY INN set is more similar to the one used for CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT? Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I did get the window seats, but maybe didn't pan the camera past them for a good enough look. I'm going to bevredoing Christmas in Connecticut next year, maybe I'll figure that out then. 😊
Susan Waverly was the general's granddaughter.
@@phillipburr2627 Thanks for adding that. I should have included her name and Dean Jaggers, the General.
@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Susan Waverly was her character name. She was the general's granddaughter, not his daughter, as stated in the video. And yes, I absolutely would love to stay in the Inn if someone built it. Thank you for your hard work on the re-upload. Just terrific! The upstairs would be interesting. I believe the general's room is directly above the entrance, just off the sitting area where Rosemary sits on the couch during the cast party.
@@phillipburr2627 Got it! You were emphasizing it was his granddaughter, not daughter. 👍
Just the thing to start the holiday season off, going through the Columbia Inn! A shame you didn't use some of the movie's songs, I'll guess because of licensing.
Anyway, thanks for your work bringing this 'Tyrolean haunted house' to us. Maybe for December you could feature Scrooge's office and house from the 1951 film? (Or if that's too soon, perhaps next holiday season.)
Dreaming of a white Christmas... ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Thank you! And, yes, how I wish I could use the real music. 😪
I love this movie so much, and I thank you so much for sharing this tour, it's amazing! Have you done any from the movie A Christmas Carol? Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to all
@@7peacefrog I haven't yet. I hadn't thought of that movie before for a tour. Which version are you thinking of?
@7peacefrog By the way - I have made many other homes, too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Thank you I will check it/them out! I was looking for more Christmas ones (I am "Christmas") and thank you I have seen all the Christmas ones you have on your page
I so love your videos! I'd love to see the Gone With the Wind mansion. The March home from Little Women. Bonanza homestead. The Addams Family home.
@@JudyCarter-kl7be I will definitely be doing Gone with the Wind and The Addams Family. And you're in luck with Bonanza. I've already made a tour of that home. 🤠
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Wonderful!! I will look forward to them and I'll go seek out the Bonanza home now! Thanks so much and happy Holidays to you!
Request: I'd love to see you show us the beautiful house from the Christmas movie , "The Bishop's Wife" starring Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young.
@@florafinching Great idea.
Have you heard of Kate and Alley? would like one on their home. Maybe the Bundy House. I haven't searched so let me know if you have done them before and I will go look.
@@nothing2seehere34 I haven't done either of those yet. Thanks for the suggestions.
Lovely, thank you. 👏🏻
How about "The Golden Girls", since it's already in the outro thumbnail? 😉
Yes. I hope to get to that early next year.
@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Great! Looking forward to that! 😃
Have you ever started on The Hillbilly Mansion and The Shady Rest hotel? I hope you can do those soon.
@ben313m No. I really, want to get to them. Hopefully, next year. Coming up soon is Pillow Talk and Laverne & Shirley.
Ok, thanks.
How about an insider's view of the "Ghosts" mansion? Or is it too early since the show is currently on the air?
I want to do current shows, too. I just finished Schitt's Creek not too long ago. That's the closest I've gotten to current. But I also want to do "Only Murders in the Building," and "Wednesday." I'm not familiar with "Ghosts," but I'll check it out.
The Salem Cross Inn in West Brookfield, Massachusetts could be a close second to this movie set.
@josephkondrat6478 Ooo! I hope I make it there someday. I'll have to Google it for now. Thanks.

You missed a few key details in the 'barn' set, namely the bar. If one looks closely, you'll notice that the height of the bar is set for standard seating, about 30" to the top of the bar. Kitchen lower cabinets and islands are a standard 36". You set the bar top at a standard 42". You'll also note that there are two steps down into the back of the bar. The reason for this design choice is for sightlines. As a set designer and a fan of this film, I have probably spent an unhealthy amount of time studding this particular set and have 'barrowed' elements from time to time. BTW...I have always imagined the floors were finished in cork tile, but linoleum would be period correct too. Anyway, thanks for the tour of the "Tirolian haunted house."
Fun to have a set designer on here. 😊

It's not currently on my list, but it's a possibility in the future. Thanks.
Thank you, would also like to see Lassie sometime please.
@@ben313m I'll have to watch an episode. I don't remember the house.
Thank You.
One small correction... that's the General's granddaughter, not his daughter!🙂
Sorry, reading further in the comments I see that others have also mentioned this! I always wondered what happened to the parents
@@amyfloren4581 Good question. I hadn't thought of that.
