You read my mind. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, in So Calif, quite near the beach. Life was pretty perfect. I miss those years so much. The world has changed and it makes me sad. One thing I like to do is watch old black n white films made in the 40’s-50’s. I love the cars! The homes, and fashion. Film Noir is a favorite too. So many good films were made and TH-cam has so many to choose from.
Thank you so much for this. It brought back so many good memories, but it also brought back so much sadness. The Leave it to beaver family, and especially the leave it to beaver house, was the place I always dreamed I would live. I grew up in a family that was often homeless, living in and out of our car, or in cheap motels. Those times when I would catch a rerun of leave it to Beaver, I will close my eyes and always imagined that that would be paradise. To live in that house. That house meant so much. In my mind, it was real. It was just beyond the horizon, around the corner.
I know what you mean - except in our case life at home was more like Choppers, without the money. Lots of fighting and tears, at one point my parents being separating for 6 months. I'm almost 70 now, my health on the decline, but how many more episodes of our beloved half-hour show do I have left to see - I don't know, but He does.
@@m.catherinekirkland3189 We were shown the tank of the toilet in the boys bathroom in their first home. Due to censorship rules at the time none was shown in this home at 211 Pine St. I try to stay true to the homes the way they were shown to us on tv. But I did notice there would be room for one next to the tub in the boys room.
Eddie Haskell: "My what a lovely home you have Mrs. Cleaver. I do hope Wallace and little Theodore give you a hand in keeping it so nice!" One minute later: "Hey Wally- your old lady's down there working like a chump, vacuuming in pearls!"
That moment when you pan the camera around to show the 4th wall always gives me goose bumps! You do such amazing work, thank you for sharing it with us.
Fantastic job! Bravo. The Leave it to Beaver home is my favorite from both television and movies. I have seen large, expensive and amazing kitchens but the Cleaver kitchen is still my favorite - you can't beat perfection! I love the show too, I streamed it recently and I think it's aged very well, I laughed out loud several times in each episode. I hadn't watched it in decades. You put a great deal of work into this and it shows. Thank you!

Thank you, Marina, for this wonderful channel! I don’t know how you do it, but I appreciate seeing the homes of my childhood shows so very much. I can’t wait to watch all your videos. Next is Bewitched. Thanks again; you’ve done an amazing job!
This is great! I love seeing these rooms in color! I’m a big fan of this show and, since I can now watch it on my phone, I watch it literally every day while doing household chores and at bedtime. It’s such a comfort. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I love this show too. Everything about it. Glad you enjoyed the tour. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Leave It To Beaver was and still is one of my favorite classic television sitcoms and their home was visually stunning. Both on the exterior and interior.
Of all the TV homes, the Cleavers home was the most realistic looking home. No odd angles. Very believable and all just seems to fit together perfectly!
How come all the neighbors always made snide comments to Ward? Like he was a dubious used car salesman who sold them a lemon with sawdust in the crankcase. He sure took a ton of crap. It’s exhausting being right all the time! Trust me.
This is awesome! Of all the TV homes, the Cleaver home is the one I loved and remembered the most. The inside is a huge dream house, and I didn’t realize the yard was as huge as the house.
It does! And I think part of that is due to the fact that we got to see all 4 walls. But also, that the walls were at normal 90° angles, not splayed out or at odd angles like in most TV homes.
You know, everyone makes fun of this type of sitcom because June always looked so well-kempt, but she knew the way to do things, especially cook. She would cook something like a roast, which does not have to be watched, then add a vegetable or two, and some potatoes, and her family was able to eat a good meal with not too much effort. Dessert was mostly ice cream and cookies. They would all help in the clean-up. Me, I cook something waaay too complicated, start late, eat late, and no one cleans up but me.
Has anyone else wanted to be June's and Ward's children? I wasn't born in this era, but I watch the reruns. I've always imagined what it would be like to be a Cleaver.
I used to pretend I was their daughter. I loved that Beaver always wore a jacket and so I had a jacket I would wear going out pretentious be a Cleaver.
June and Ward pressured the boys too much. Get grades of nothing less than A's. Go out for several sports and win letters. Run for student body etc etc....
Hugh Beaumont had a Masters Degree in Theology and was an ordained minister. He was most likely a patient, level-headed and wise father in real life, too.
A Family Affair house would be nice to see. Great job on this. It's such a lift to see the Beav's house in colour. And I really like the new background music.
I want to do Family Affair and I've had a lot of requests for it. I'm glad you noticed the music. Im trying to switch it up. I bought a LOT of music that I have the license to use, but they get flagged every time. And it is a huge process to get them unflagged. So I have settled on using music from the TH-cam audio library.
I was a poor kid. We lived in what is referred to as a shotgun house and I always took notice of, and admired some of the homes of my TV families. The Cleaver house was always my favorite and Mr. and Mrs. Cleaver were my favorite parents.
It's a great show. Great writing, casting and set design. Love this home. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
@@emjayay: Middle-class to mid-upper, yes, but so what? My best friend lived in a similar house back in the early seventies. His dad was just an auditor for a hotel, then later a local union office. Ward Cleaver was an adjuster or something with an insurance company. These jobs were not unrealistically unattainable for the average American back in the day, nor would be similar homes. Besides I enjoyed watching shows that served to as inspirations to achieve rather than be complacent.
I'm glad this popped up today. I have been watching LITB every morning for the last several months. I just mentioned to my sister the other day, how the bathroom mysteriously moves around. And it was just today when she watched it with me and saw Wally walk into the closet which suddenly became the bathroom. Wally even said to his mother, who was in the room, that he was going to wash up. He went in and Beaver came out of the real bathroom. Then Wally came out and said goodbye to his mom and left for school.
I love when others notice the details of these homes. Glad you liked the tour. 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 yes it's a channel where they show old school TV. Shows back in the days 60's 70's.. and they have another, TV channel, where they show old school TV shows as well , It's called Antenna tv. They show tv shows, from the 50's 60:s and 70:s... Check them out ..
@@JL-re1rx Yes. In their first home we got to see the tank of the toilet in the boys bathroom. But in this home no toilet was shown. I try to stay true to the way the home was shown to us on TV. But I did notice there is room for one in the boys bathroom next to the tub.

Thank you sooo much for this!! LITB was my favourite of this golden era of television.😄It's interesting how they don't have a tv in the living room!!! I noticed that when viewing, all those years ago - not that it matters! I love the values of those shows & how every episode was uplifting! The loving authority of the adults - a great model for life! How did our standards sink to the level they're at now???😕Thanks again - all the way from Australia!
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. LITB is a favorite of mine as well. Both the show and the home. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Great job! You are a very talented lady! I wasn't sure what to expect, since the show was filmed on various sets. But you turned those sets into a home and, as advertised, gave us a tour!
What a classically beautiful home! I really enjoyed all the work you put into this one! Thank you! I saw the Gilmore Girls photo at the end of the video. I’d definitely like to see that one!
Your videos are always fun and very interesting! I worked at Universal Studios as a young actor who needed a survival job back in the 80s when the Leave It To Beave House was still kept that way. I was in Security and got to drive a car around the lot 5 days a week, so I had a great time at it! The Leave It To Beaver House was one of my favorite places to hang out and eat my lunch or just waste some down time back then. The inside was just dirt on the floor with the exception of the Front Entrance which had a wall with a picture that blocked the view into the empty interior. I would get out of my Security Car and sit on the steps a lot of the time and say to myself that I would love to live on a street like that and have a home like the Cleaver home.. but with an interior, thank you!! I was also able to spend a little time on the set of the New Leave It to Beaver a few times before they moved production to Universal Studios Florida. What a great time I had! I was curious if you had any plans to perhaps sell any low poly versions of your TV Sets on IClone's site of any other platform? I am an IClone user and make Celebrity Look-a-like 3d Models and would be a very happy customer for one!! Regardless, thanks for the great videos and tours!!
Wow. You had a fun job. I am currently looking into putting my models into VR. There are intellectual property issues I am working out right now though.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Hey thanks for your response. Yes, being that I was in my early twenties it was a Blast! I definitely would like to be updated with what you decide to do once you work out the legal issues. I've subscribed so if you just let us subscribers know that'd be great. Have a great night and thanks again for everything.
Thank you so much for doing this! You always do such an amazing job. I would like to see you do the "Beverly Hillbillies" mansion (there's a great video on TH-cam that takes you on a tour of the real house and backyard) and the "Shady Rest Hotel" from "Petticoat Junction." Again, keep this up. I love your videos and I hope, hope, hope that the dream of a neighborhood with all of these homes becomes a reality. Thank you SO much! You're the BEST!
🎉 greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have enjoyed your videos. The love you apply to these homes are appreciated. Yes, i love the Ward house. Thank you for the memories 🎉😊
I loved their home, but I loved their life style more! Beaver used to visit Gus the fireman all on his own, he couldn't have been more than 6. This was my childhood! I'd give anything if this could be my beloved grand children's childhood. Just so innocent.
Sounds like you had a wonderful childhood. In case you didn't know, You can see all of the other TV and movie homes I’ve finished here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I remember going to the movies very young without a parent with a friend a couple years older. It was safe. Plus everyone seemed to care about each other. There was a feeling in the 50s of camaraderie. Maybe it was just because I was a child.
That was awesome, You do such a good job! It would be nice to see the Donna Reed house, the Patty Duke home, and the home from the movie “A Summer Place”. I think it might be a Frank Loyd Wright home.
It's one of my favorites too. I still watch it. By the way - You can see all of the other TV and movie homes I’ve finished here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
My humble request would be to do the "Father Knows Best" house. Actually, some of the floorplan is similar to Leave It To Beaver-- there is the father's den/office to the left as you come in, the living room to the right, then the dining room; but then they differ as you get to the kitchen on the right. Thank you for all your work!
Since I was a little girl, I considered the Cleaver home a dream house. So light, airy and neat as a pin, but homey and cozy as heck! To be realistic, it just wasn't attainable unless you were wealthy. But I really enjoyed the tour!
This was so much fun! I love the traditional homes in '50s sitcoms and the Cleavers' house is one of the best. Thanks for doing this! As for what's next on my wish list, I'd love to see the Gilmore Girls House! The Waltons would be fun, too.
I've noticed, many for Craftsman throughout the house, the stairway going to the second floor when you look close you'll see the steps don't fit in with the side of the steps molding throughout the house, wall panels that don't quite aligned properly, and the list goes on and on. I never paid attention when I was younger didn't know any better but it was one of the best shows on TV when they were on. My brother and I may he rest in peace watch every single episode. It was definitely in my opinion the best family show on television ever. Today is February 23rd 2022
Some of the walls were probably removeable for shots from the other direction as is typical and not put back quite right. Now I have to watch and look closer!
A simpler time. Reality only those with higher incomes could've afforded these tv show homes but its fun to dream! Seeing it in color helps bring it out and so many of the features are just gorgeous like pocket doors, french doors, built in bookcases, nice fireplaces with mantles, real wood paneled rooms etc. I did grow up in a lovely older home circa 1929 which had many lovely features like french doors, built in bookcases, 4 fireplaces , built in window seats with storage, butlers pantry, built in china cabinets, full front porch sunroom,etc.and I remember that home and those almost 8 years in the 70's with great fondness!
I love the Clever's home. There are always lots of books on the shelves in different places in the house. That is oh, so important when raising children. Most of all I would notice that they used Blue Willow china when they had breakfast in the kitchen and more formal white porcelain in the dining room. I have collected Blue Willow china for most of my life and our children grew up eating from it.
@@carlacook1128 I went back and forth on the colors for the kitchen. I wish there were color photos of the set from back then - not colorized, but the actual colors.
not completely related, but I have the blueprints for the bewitched floorplan and I am planning on building it as close as I can to the actual schematics of the show if the rooms were represented accurately. I love the Cleaver house too! But Bewitched is my all time favourite TV house. This one might be second!
Wonderful! I thought we were going to accidentally encounter the Cleavers as we toured the home! That kitchen island was quite an unusual feature for a 50’s kitchen. Thank you!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Like sitcoms with a couch in the middle of the room, the island provided better opportunities for cooking to be going on with the actors facing the camera.
The Cleaver home is really beautiful. I love the layout of the home. The living room is so pretty and cozy. What father wouldn’t love the den and what what mother wouldn’t love the kitchen. I love the dining room too where the family always had dinner, and the breakfast/ lunch table in the kitchen where the pretty window is. Thank you Marina. I enjoy your channel.
I grew up watching Lucy, Leave It to Beaver and none of the bathrooms has a toilet bowl. I don't remember anyone having a toilet until All In the Family & Archie's 1st flush
Yes… in Season 1 Episode 2 of “Leave it to Beaver” they show the toilet tank but not the toilet bowl. (Wally and Beaver use the tank to keep their pet alligator)
@@ceeclearly6840 Yes. I didn't include it here, because this is their 2nd home. But, I remember that. I almost put that fact in this video. I try to keep the homes as we saw them on TV. In this home no toilet was shown, although I did notice there is room for one in the boys bathroom next to the tub.
Oh my Gawd, I have never seen a behind-the-scenes as beautifully demonstrated! You are truly a wonderful person to do this and I thank you! I have to show this to all my LITB friends. Truly Spectacular! 10 stars you get!
I would love to see a house tour of the Father Knows Best show and also the Donna Reed show. The homes were so very beautiful! I loved the tour of the Leave It to Beaver show. Thank you!
Thank you. I plan to do both of those homes. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Grew up in the 1960s in a house styled and built just like this. Was BIG, with 11,1/2-foot ceilings, sheers on the big windows, French doors, etc...wonderful environment.
Wow. That is a high ceiling. I bet it was a wonderful home. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
@@tommythomason6187 Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the tours. Im currently working on a movie home - North by Northwest. Then it's on to The Waltons, The Jeffersons and Home Alone.
@@tommythomason6187 It was gorgeous. There is an interview with the scriptwriter, Lehman, where he said he road the train, among other things, just to help him with the script. That's when he chose the dining car for that scene.
Oh what a hoot. I remember watching the original episodes. June in her jewels and high heels, but her house always spotless. Ward philosophizing in his suit and tie. The bathroom with no toilet. An island stove in the kitchen. Who heard of that in the 50s and 60s? Eddie schmoozing June and her exasperated "thank you Eddie". Great memories.
Yes. Love all of it. And, I thought too how unusual to have an island in the kitchen back then. It was a huge kitchen. 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 Jefferson apartment would be fun to watch. There are some interesting angles in that apartment, it has a balcony, and it has four bathrooms! (I wonder if any actual New York City apartments have four bathrooms?)
@@MeowingKittyCat Me too! There are some quirky things there! It had 4 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. However it was always odd to me where the 3rd bedroom (Florence's room/ Guest room when Mother Jefferson took her naps) was. I'm wondering if that room and Lionel's room had a Jack and Jill bathroom. It was clear that Florence had her own bathroom. I'm dying to see that 4th wall!!!
@@jamilaappleby1626 It should be an interesting reconstruction! I saw a floor plan someone did and it showed only two bathrooms, but we know there were four toilets -- on the first day in the new apartment, George reminded everyone of the times when they were poor, and they had to share one bathroom with three other families. He then went around the apartment flushing all four of the toilets -- "four johns, no waiting"! Then Louise called George a "four flusher". It's possible the "his and hers" toilets were in one master bathroom.
I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! I would like to see what the “Little House on The Prairie “ house would look like, I always thought it was so cozy. Also “The Waltons” home, thank you!🙏🏻
Always enjoy watching your design presentations. I would love to see you do the NYC apartment from the Odd Couple. I think they had 2 variations during the TV show's run.
These days a beautiful home with the large yard like this costs at the very least a half million plus in some states. Interesting tidbits about the set, thanks.
It would be very expensive. Glad you liked the tour. 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 tour is just Amazing - Awesome - all those "A" words. So clever for you to research that there MUST be a guest bathroom on the first floor, with the only full baths being attached to bedrooms. As for the mystery door upstairs - many architects design with an option for the master bedroom to have two bathrooms accessible - there it is!
I would love to see a tour of the Ozzie and Harriet home which I understand was a replica of their actual home so as to make David and Rick comfortable as kids. And my favorite movie home is one that is not seen very much but it is Cary Grant's home in "To Catch a Thief."
I loooove that home from "To Catch a Thief." It has made several appearances in my other show on this channel - Cinematically Inspired Design. That's where I take the design secrets from the cinema and teach us how to apply them in our homes. They are masters at using design to create a mood and tell the story of the people who live there. I had never heard that story about the Ozzie and Harriet home. Interesting!
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se , I was house hunting 10 years ago, and saw well over 100 houses (no exaggeration), and many of them did not have a dining room. They might have an area attached to the living room, but no separate dining room. All of them were built before 1990.
Those clown paintings directly inspired my mom, and we grew up with horrifying clown art in the BASEMENT, of all places- I'm still suffering- and (almost worse) a menacing clown's head nightlight on the dresser. A slightly too hot bulb melted the clown head a little, adding a great deal to the effect. Every night my brother and I (also in one room), unwilling to admit our fear of it, prayed Mom would forget to turn the clown head on. But she never did. Mom always cited Beaver's and Wally's room as the inspiration for the killer clown theme. Thanks, June.
Haha. I remember that. And, I remember in an interview Barbara Billingsley said that her nephew went to see the movie unaware that she was in it and said out loud, "Aunt Barbara!"
I have noticed that in almost all kitchens, the is a center island stove that never has an exhaust fan or range hood. Guess it would block the camera’s view of the actors.
@@ravenpoe7093 We recently moved into a 2-flat build in the 50s. We remodeled the kitchens (sorry, the old ones were super tired and had a terrible layout in this case). We found a vent shaft for a stove to be placed on the outer wall of one of the kitchens but the kitchens didn't get finished out at the time of original construction with the stoves on the outer walls. Instead larger stoves were placed on the inner walls with no ventilation. They were still there 70 years later when we bought the building.
Sheers were very popular in the sixties , seventies and eighties. My mother had sheers between all her drapes. I did too. They were beautiful and the light filtering through was so soft and beautiful. Nothing about this looked like a set.
I remember them well. What I was referring to is that without the windows completely covered we can see outside and that way it looks less like a set.it wasn't about the sheers, it's about the ability to see outside.
You've already done my favorite home - The Munsters....But I'd like to see you do a movie home. The house from "Practical Magic". Especially the kitchen! Best kitchen ever designed, real or imagined.
I loved that home! The kitchen was my idea of heaven and the livingroom close behind. I bet it had a full cellar too. The apothecary, every home should have one. The landscaped yard and The little house were beautiful. And yes, I would move in tomorrow if it really existed!
While working at Home depot as a designer I learned how to do this with software known as 20/20, what an accurate demonstration of the possibilities, thank you.
Isn't it fun? I do it professionally, but I love it so much that, as you can see - it is my hobby too. I couldn't wait to walk around inside of TV homes, once I learned the skills.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the tour. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber

I used to laugh at the portrayal of married couples sleeping in twin beds. But there are actually quite a few couples who sleep separately because of mattress preferences, snoring issues, etc. The Cleavers struck me as doing their duty twice a year: their anniversary and Ward’s birthday.
I didn't know this was exactly what I needed today! I have often thought that if I won the lottery, I wouldn't build a mansion, I'd have the Cleaver home built exactly as it is here. Thank you for a wonderful job right down to the chocolate cake.

more great work marina - you're awesome! :) i'm not at all familiar with nor do i even recall a first cleaver house but i love this one - the set designers did a fantastic job to make the audience believe it's a real house, and "sea mist green" (or what i interpret to be sea mist green) has always been one of my favorite colors - there's so much of it in the cleaver home :) this "home" is (to me) second only to the "bewitched" home - but not by very much - i love them both - i'm guessing because they seem real & remind me of my grandparents or my parents real homes, etc. thanks marina! :)
They do seem real. I think part of that is that in both the Cleaver home and the Stephen's home, we got to see all 4 walls. Not all at once, but still we knew what each wall looked like.
Good question. You made me go back and check that episode. In that episode they needed it to be right at the top of the stairs, so it could fall down the stairs in front of the man who came to collect the money owed on the accordion. Normally, that door swings away from the hallway, into the room beyond - you can tell by the hinges. In this episode, it needed to be a closet, so it swings out into the hallway. Good catch! I love figuring out stuff like this.
I had always pictured June's kitchen as pale, "ice" blue for some reason. But I wouldn't mind having this house with this lovely shade of green. I think I asked about doing Officer Bill Gannon's house on the 1960s series "Dragnet" but I can't remember. I would love to see that home featured. I love the small details you add to your videos of these iconic Hollywood character homes. Thank you!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane yes it does stand for Memerable tv. They show old reruns of your favorite childhood tv shows... Alll kinds of TV. Shows , back in the days ... They show cartoons too, u, when you were a child , they even have the 3 stoodges too.. you should check it out...
Ward never made much money they were middle class but 60 years ago a family could live in a nice house like that with only Dad working while Mom stayed home June never had a job but back then she didn't have to work.
Very nice! I just bought a new home and have been wondering how to have it painted and decorated, since I have no sense for that kind of thing. The layout of my home is actually not too different from the Leave It to Beaver home, except that Ward's den and the living room are basically switched. This video has given me a number of ideas for paint colors and room layouts. Thanks so much!
The Cleavers home looks so light and airy, this has always been my tv dream home. I would like to take a tour of The Beverley Hillbillies mansion. I know its a big undertaking, but would be wonderful to see 'the cement pond' where Ellie May would swim, as well as all the mysterious rooms we never saw. So please, lets load up the truck and move to Beverly!
I plan on doing the Clampett mansion. You can see all of the other TV and movie homes I've finished here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I would love to see a layout and tour of the home from Bonanza where the Cartwrights lived. I love this channel and glad I found it. Thanks for a wonderful job on the house tours.
I was in the replica of the Ponderosa ranch house near Lake Tahoe, but it was sold so tours are no longer available. The original Ponderosa ranch house was on a soundstage.
I was a child at this time and the only people who had beautiful homes like this were doctors, lawyers, judges, car dealership owners, commercial airline pilots, etc. The rest of us lived in nice, small, track houses with only one full bath and maybe a toilet for guests. The Cleaver house was the exception to the normal, average families.
You wouldn't be happy with a home that was nice by the standards of this time period. Today's families expect a separate room and bath for each member of the family. In the 1950s-60s kids shared a bedroom and families were bigger so it wasn't unusual to have even 3-4 kids in one room. The whole family often shared one small bathroom - two if you were lucky. Closets were small with just a rod for hanging clothes and a shelf up above. I grew up in the 1960s and most families I knew had six kids in a three bedroom/1-1/2 bath house.
@@lisalu910 I don’t know about most families expecting a bedroom And bath for each member of the family. I don’t think most people could afford that today.

OMG Yes. It was a wonderful life.
Vote Trump 2024, and make America great again !
You read my mind. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, in So Calif, quite near the beach. Life was pretty perfect. I miss those years so much. The world has changed and it makes me sad.
One thing I like to do is watch old black n white films made in the 40’s-50’s. I love the cars! The homes, and fashion. Film Noir is a favorite too. So many good films were made and TH-cam has so many to choose from.
I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s too. I would love to go back in time
Wonder why they never had a Christmas show
Thank you so much for this. It brought back so many good memories, but it also brought back so much sadness. The Leave it to beaver family, and especially the leave it to beaver house, was the place I always dreamed I would live. I grew up in a family that was often homeless, living in and out of our car, or in cheap motels. Those times when I would catch a rerun of leave it to Beaver, I will close my eyes and always imagined that that would be paradise. To live in that house. That house meant so much. In my mind, it was real. It was just beyond the horizon, around the corner.
Thank you for sharing that.
I hope your life has improved since then.
Oh I hope things have changed for the better for you
I know what you mean - except in our case life at home was more like Choppers, without the money. Lots of fighting and tears, at one point my parents being separating for 6 months. I'm almost 70 now, my health on the decline, but how many more episodes of our beloved half-hour show do I have left to see - I don't know, but He does.
The Cleavers had a nice house, nice layout and nice neighborhood. Who wouldn't want to live there just as it was?
Couldn't agree more. I love this home.
I loved their house, in modern times the furnishings could have changed but besides that it’s timeless
@@presidentherberthoover2570 Yes.
I’d want to install a toilet or two first…!!! I’m just sayin…! :D
@@m.catherinekirkland3189 We were shown the tank of the toilet in the boys bathroom in their first home. Due to censorship rules at the time none was shown in this home at 211 Pine St. I try to stay true to the homes the way they were shown to us on tv. But I did notice there would be room for one next to the tub in the boys room.
Eddie Haskell: "My what a lovely home you have Mrs. Cleaver. I do hope Wallace and little Theodore give you a hand in keeping it so nice!" One minute later: "Hey Wally- your old lady's down there working like a chump, vacuuming in pearls!"
Gotta love Eddie.

When I was very young I thought this show was filmed in a real house. First floor interior set is SO believable. Thanks. Awesome work you do!!
It really is! And it's one of the few RV homes where they showed us all 4 walls.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane You are so right.
That moment when you pan the camera around to show the 4th wall always gives me goose bumps! You do such amazing work, thank you for sharing it with us.

@@Rose-nq2fx You're welcome. It's a labor of love.
@@Rose-nq2fx Didn't the Munsters live on 1313 Mockingbird Lane? Probably wasn't in Mayfield USA.
I personally like the separation of the rooms in the Cleaver home.
I do too. I love everything about this home. Wish it were real and I could walk through it.
And yet, with the double-door opening to the living room, it doesn't seem too seperate.
@@bigred9428 Yes. It's kind of the best of both worlds, separation without feeling closed off.
Yes I grew up in an open house. And when there were people around you had no privacy except your bedroom.
Amen! I am not a fan of today's open concept popularity at all!
Fantastic job! Bravo. The Leave it to Beaver home is my favorite from both television and movies. I have seen large, expensive and amazing kitchens but the Cleaver kitchen is still my favorite - you can't beat perfection! I love the show too, I streamed it recently and I think it's aged very well, I laughed out loud several times in each episode. I hadn't watched it in decades. You put a great deal of work into this and it shows. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the tour. I agree - this home has held up so well. I would love to live here.

Agreed!
Also, I think the Cleavers had first commode ever shown on American television in a TV show...the episode with the baby crocodile.
This is great! I love seeing these rooms in color! I’m a big fan of this show and, since I can now watch it on my phone, I watch it literally every day while doing household chores and at bedtime. It’s such a comfort. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Leave It To Beaver was and still is one of my favorite classic television sitcoms and their home was visually stunning. Both on the exterior and interior.

I'm glad you noticed. 😋
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane How could I not... you're a gem :)
Did Wally have a bite of the cake? Looks delicious...

@@arthurpasseri1840 With a hunk of milk :)
Life in a simpler time. Such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy the tours.
Of all the TV homes, the Cleavers home was the most realistic looking home. No odd angles. Very believable and all just seems to fit together perfectly!
And it has held up well. Here we are 60+ years later and I'd still happily move in to it today. A true classic.
Herman Munster walled through door some builders use cheap doors.
Yeah, except there are no toilets!
It’s so traditional looking! And American! All that spaciousness- wow
How come all the neighbors always made snide comments to Ward? Like he was a dubious used car salesman who sold them a lemon with sawdust in the crankcase.
He sure took a ton of crap. It’s exhausting being right all the time! Trust me.
This is awesome! Of all the TV homes, the Cleaver home is the one I loved and remembered the most. The inside is a huge dream house, and I didn’t realize the yard was as huge as the house.
Glad you liked the tour.

As the 3rd season began it moved to ABC and what a great home. You felt at home there.
Of all the TV homes this really is the best. It feels like a real home.
It does! And I think part of that is due to the fact that we got to see all 4 walls. But also, that the walls were at normal 90° angles, not splayed out or at odd angles like in most TV homes.
This brings back so many wonderful memories, I'm a big Leave it to Beaver fan, love the tour , thanks
Thank you. I love the show and the home so much. Terrific casting and writing too.
You know, everyone makes fun of this type of sitcom because June always looked so well-kempt, but she knew the way to do things, especially cook. She would cook something like a roast, which does not have to be watched, then add a vegetable or two, and some potatoes, and her family was able to eat a good meal with not too much effort. Dessert was mostly ice cream and cookies. They would all help in the clean-up. Me, I cook something waaay too complicated, start late, eat late, and no one cleans up but me.
@@bigred9428 😊
Has anyone else wanted to be June's and Ward's children? I wasn't born in this era, but I watch the reruns. I've always imagined what it would be like to be a Cleaver.
No way, never realized what a helicopter mom she was.
I used to pretend I was their daughter. I loved that Beaver always wore a jacket and so I had a jacket I would wear going out pretentious be a Cleaver.
June and Ward pressured the boys too much. Get grades of nothing less than A's. Go out for several sports and win letters. Run for student body etc etc....
Hugh Beaumont had a Masters Degree in Theology and was an ordained minister. He was most likely a patient, level-headed and wise father in real life, too.
I would love it!
A Family Affair house would be nice to see. Great job on this. It's such a lift to see the Beav's house in colour. And I really like the new background music.
I want to do Family Affair and I've had a lot of requests for it. I'm glad you noticed the music. Im trying to switch it up. I bought a LOT of music that I have the license to use, but they get flagged every time. And it is a huge process to get them unflagged. So I have settled on using music from the TH-cam audio library.
Yes, I loved the background music. I think I've heard the music in a movie...like Ordinary People". I wonder what the name of the tune is?
@@aurorarose2836 It's "English Garden" from the TH-cam audio library.
Family Affair home, another great choice.
Was kind of amazing to have an apartment in NYC with five bedrooms and a den!
I was a poor kid. We lived in what is referred to as a shotgun house and I always took notice of, and admired some of the homes of my TV families. The Cleaver house was always my favorite and Mr. and Mrs. Cleaver were my favorite parents.
It's a great show. Great writing, casting and set design. Love this home.

Their house was very upper middle class, not what the average family could afford.
@@emjayay:
Middle-class to mid-upper, yes, but so what?
My best friend lived in a similar house back in the early seventies. His dad was just an auditor for a hotel, then later a local union office. Ward Cleaver was an adjuster or something with an insurance company. These jobs were not unrealistically unattainable for the average American back in the day, nor would be similar homes.
Besides I enjoyed watching shows that served to as inspirations to achieve rather than be complacent.
I'm glad this popped up today. I have been watching LITB every morning for the last several months. I just mentioned to my sister the other day, how the bathroom mysteriously moves around. And it was just today when she watched it with me and saw Wally walk into the closet which suddenly became the bathroom. Wally even said to his mother, who was in the room, that he was going to wash up. He went in and Beaver came out of the real bathroom. Then Wally came out and said goodbye to his mom and left for school.
I love when others notice the details of these homes. Glad you liked the tour.

Who else wishes in 2021 we could go back to these beautiful days?
Me. I had an idyllic childhood in the 50s and 60s.
Yes, times of greater respect for a family and a home. 👍🏻

Agreed ❣
Your videos are always fun and very interesting! I worked at Universal Studios as a young actor who needed a survival job back in the 80s when the Leave It To Beave House was still kept that way. I was in Security and got to drive a car around the lot 5 days a week, so I had a great time at it! The Leave It To Beaver House was one of my favorite places to hang out and eat my lunch or just waste some down time back then. The inside was just dirt on the floor with the exception of the Front Entrance which had a wall with a picture that blocked the view into the empty interior. I would get out of my Security Car and sit on the steps a lot of the time and say to myself that I would love to live on a street like that and have a home like the Cleaver home.. but with an interior, thank you!! I was also able to spend a little time on the set of the New Leave It to Beaver a few times before they moved production to Universal Studios Florida. What a great time I had!
I was curious if you had any plans to perhaps sell any low poly versions of your TV Sets on IClone's site of any other platform? I am an IClone user and make Celebrity Look-a-like 3d Models and would be a very happy customer for one!! Regardless, thanks for the great videos and tours!!

I would add the Douglas house from Green Acres. Who could ever figure that place out? 😆
I am a paint contractor for over 40 years. Love these classic wall colors to the period. These color schemes seem to never die!
I agree. I could walk in and live there today.
🎉 greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have enjoyed your videos. The love you apply to these homes are appreciated. Yes, i love the Ward house. Thank you for the memories 🎉😊
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying these tours.
I loved their home, but I loved their life style more! Beaver used to visit Gus the fireman all on his own, he couldn't have been more than 6. This was my childhood! I'd give anything if this could be my beloved grand children's childhood. Just so innocent.

Thanks for your reply to my comment. I'll check out the others 👍🏘!
My humble request would be to do the "Father Knows Best" house. Actually, some of the floorplan is similar to Leave It To Beaver-- there is the father's den/office to the left as you come in, the living room to the right, then the dining room; but then they differ as you get to the kitchen on the right. Thank you for all your work!
I definitely hope to get to that home someday.
I'd also love to see that one.
Thought that house had a side staircase.
Since I was a little girl, I considered the Cleaver home a dream house. So light, airy and neat as a pin, but homey and cozy as heck! To be realistic, it just wasn't attainable unless you were wealthy. But I really enjoyed the tour!

Not in this day and age anyway.
I read somewhere June was addicted to amphetamines. That's why she was so thin and the house was so clean.
@@claudermiller June (Barbara Billingsley ) wasn't cleaning the house any more than Ward ( Hugh Beaumont) was mowing the grass.
@@claudermiller That is not farfetched at all. Amphetamines were once part of the housewife's diet; marketed and sold for these very purposes!
This was so much fun! I love the traditional homes in '50s sitcoms and the Cleavers' house is one of the best. Thanks for doing this! As for what's next on my wish list, I'd love to see the Gilmore Girls House! The Waltons would be fun, too.
I love both of those and plan on doing both of them.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane , fantastic, :) ! Will be looking forward to it. Also got a kick out of the name Mockingbird, ironic lol!
Melissa Clark,
Actually you can see a tour of the Walton house, narrated by Mary Ellen on TH-cam.
I've noticed, many for Craftsman throughout the house, the stairway going to the second floor when you look close you'll see the steps don't fit in with the side of the steps molding throughout the house, wall panels that don't quite aligned properly, and the list goes on and on. I never paid attention when I was younger didn't know any better but it was one of the best shows on TV when they were on. My brother and I may he rest in peace watch every single episode. It was definitely in my opinion the best family show on television ever. Today is February 23rd 2022
It's one of my favorite shows and homes.

Some of the walls were probably removeable for shots from the other direction as is typical and not put back quite right. Now I have to watch and look closer!
A simpler time. Reality only those with higher incomes could've afforded these tv show homes but its fun to dream! Seeing it in color helps bring it out and so many of the features are just gorgeous like pocket doors, french doors, built in bookcases, nice fireplaces with mantles, real wood paneled rooms etc. I did grow up in a lovely older home circa 1929 which had many lovely features like french doors, built in bookcases, 4 fireplaces , built in window seats with storage, butlers pantry, built in china cabinets, full front porch sunroom,etc.and I remember that home and those almost 8 years in the 70's with great fondness!
@@Nelle-uj3eg Sounds like an amazing home to grow up in.
I would love to see "The Donna Reed Show" home layout.
I plan on it. Quite a few requests.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Thank you. I enjoy your videos!
I love the Clever's home. There are always lots of books on the shelves in different places in the house. That is oh, so important when raising children. Most of all I would notice that they used Blue Willow china when they had breakfast in the kitchen and more formal white porcelain in the dining room. I have collected Blue Willow china for most of my life and our children grew up eating from it.
You probably had a very Cleaver-ish home. Nice!
I have always imagined their kitchen to be red but this blue does make much more sense.
@@carlacook1128 I went back and forth on the colors for the kitchen. I wish there were color photos of the set from back then - not colorized, but the actual colors.
not completely related, but I have the blueprints for the bewitched floorplan and I am planning on building it as close as I can to the actual schematics of the show if the rooms were represented accurately. I love the Cleaver house too! But Bewitched is my all time favourite TV house. This one might be second!
@@GisherJohn24 Wishing you much success with your plans.
Wonderful! I thought we were going to accidentally encounter the Cleavers as we toured the home! That kitchen island was quite an unusual feature for a 50’s kitchen. Thank you!
That's what I thought about the island too. June was ahead of her time. Love that kitchen.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Like sitcoms with a couch in the middle of the room, the island provided better opportunities for cooking to be going on with the actors facing the camera.
This I love the 50s and 60s were such a wonderful time I miss it
I love that even though this show is 60+ years old, the house is still gorgeous, even with 2023 eyes. I'd happily live there as is.
The Cleaver home is really beautiful. I love the layout of the home. The living room is so pretty and cozy. What father wouldn’t love the den and what what mother wouldn’t love the kitchen. I love the dining room too where the family always had dinner, and the breakfast/ lunch table in the kitchen where the pretty window is. Thank you Marina. I enjoy your channel.
I'm glad you found my channel. I love the Cleaver home so much. It would still make a perfect home today, some 60+ years later. It held up well.
I grew up watching Lucy, Leave It to Beaver and none of the bathrooms has a toilet bowl. I don't remember anyone having a toilet until All In the Family & Archie's 1st flush
Haha. I remember that flush! 🚽
Yes… in Season 1 Episode 2 of “Leave it to Beaver” they show the toilet tank but not the toilet bowl. (Wally and Beaver use the tank to keep their pet alligator)
@@ceeclearly6840 Yes. I didn't include it here, because this is their 2nd home. But, I remember that. I almost put that fact in this video. I try to keep the homes as we saw them on TV. In this home no toilet was shown, although I did notice there is room for one in the boys bathroom next to the tub.
I looked to see if you had the All in the Family attached house. It was dumpy and frumpy but somehow still managed to be charming.

Oh what a hoot. I remember watching the original episodes. June in her jewels and high heels, but her house always spotless. Ward philosophizing in his suit and tie. The bathroom with no toilet. An island stove in the kitchen. Who heard of that in the 50s and 60s? Eddie schmoozing June and her exasperated "thank you Eddie". Great memories.
Yes. Love all of it. And, I thought too how unusual to have an island in the kitchen back then. It was a huge kitchen.

I loved this tour! I would definitely like to see a tour of the Jefferson's "deluxe apartment in the sky". Lol.
Yep. I plan on it.
The Jefferson apartment would be fun to watch. There are some interesting angles in that apartment, it has a balcony, and it has four bathrooms! (I wonder if any actual New York City apartments have four bathrooms?)
@@MeowingKittyCat Me too! There are some quirky things there! It had 4 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. However it was always odd to me where the 3rd bedroom (Florence's room/ Guest room when Mother Jefferson took her naps) was. I'm wondering if that room and Lionel's room had a Jack and Jill bathroom. It was clear that Florence had her own bathroom. I'm dying to see that 4th wall!!!
@@jamilaappleby1626 It should be an interesting reconstruction! I saw a floor plan someone did and it showed only two bathrooms, but we know there were four toilets -- on the first day in the new apartment, George reminded everyone of the times when they were poor, and they had to share one bathroom with three other families. He then went around the apartment flushing all four of the toilets -- "four johns, no waiting"! Then Louise called George a "four flusher". It's possible the "his and hers" toilets were in one master bathroom.
I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! I would like to see what the “Little House on The Prairie “ house would look like, I always thought it was so cozy. Also “The Waltons” home, thank you!🙏🏻
Two great suggestions. Thank you.
Always enjoy watching your design presentations. I would love to see you do the NYC apartment from the Odd Couple. I think they had 2 variations during the TV show's run.
I plan to do that one someday. Glad you like my tours.
These days a beautiful home with the large yard like this costs at the very least a half million plus in some states. Interesting tidbits about the set, thanks.
It would be very expensive. Glad you liked the tour.

The tour is just Amazing - Awesome - all those "A" words. So clever for you to research that there MUST be a guest bathroom on the first floor, with the only full baths being attached to bedrooms. As for the mystery door upstairs - many architects design with an option for the master bedroom to have two bathrooms accessible - there it is!
I would love to see a tour of the Ozzie and Harriet home which I understand was a replica of their actual home so as to make David and Rick comfortable as kids. And my favorite movie home is one that is not seen very much but it is Cary Grant's home in "To Catch a Thief."
I loooove that home from "To Catch a Thief." It has made several appearances in my other show on this channel - Cinematically Inspired Design. That's where I take the design secrets from the cinema and teach us how to apply them in our homes. They are masters at using design to create a mood and tell the story of the people who live there.
I had never heard that story about the Ozzie and Harriet home. Interesting!
The exterior facade was also used for Marcus Welby.
I would like to see the Walton's house and/or Green Acres house.
Yes! I plan to do both. It will be a "Hoot" to do the Green Acres home. Maybe for April Fool's Day.
And I should make the closet door come off the track. 🤣
I'd like to see the Walton's house too.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane LOL that Green Acres house was a nightmare. How about Petticoat Junction ?
@@Odo55 Yes. I plan on it 😊
God Bless her RIP ,The home is beautiful Praying for family and friends RIP beautiful lady.
Loving the shadowing cast from sunlight -nice :)
Thank you. I love when people notice things like that.
Back when homes had separate rooms for dining.
We had a dining room , but we always ate in the kitchen , unless we had guests or it was a holiday .
Homes have had dining rooms up until the early to mid 2010s now it’s trendy to have just an open box in the back but most homes have dining rooms
Our home has one and we even use it occasionally.
@@LucasFernandez-fk8se ,
I was house hunting 10 years ago, and saw well over 100 houses (no exaggeration), and many of them did not have a dining room. They might have an area attached to the living room, but no separate dining room. All of them were built before 1990.
Right? Years before the “open floor plan!” 😂
I’d love to see a tour of the home they lived in the first two seasons.
I would too
Yes, please.
Have you done the Waltons home? I'd love to see that.
I haven't yet, but plan to. You can see all of the TV and movie homes I've finished here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Those clown paintings directly inspired my mom, and we grew up with horrifying clown art in the BASEMENT, of all places- I'm still suffering- and (almost worse) a menacing clown's head nightlight on the dresser. A slightly too hot bulb melted the clown head a little, adding a great deal to the effect. Every night my brother and I (also in one room), unwilling to admit our fear of it, prayed Mom would forget to turn the clown head on. But she never did. Mom always cited Beaver's and Wally's room as the inspiration for the killer clown theme. Thanks, June.
Oh my gosh. What a story! 🤡
This was such a beautiful and well designed home. The set designers put a lot of thought into it.
Yes! And because of that it has held up well. I'd gladly move in today, as is, if it were real.
Mrs. Clever speaks “Jive” 😝
Haha. I remember that. And, I remember in an interview Barbara Billingsley said that her nephew went to see the movie unaware that she was in it and said out loud, "Aunt Barbara!"
Chump don't want no help.....🤣😂🤣😂💓
Gosh I love Ward and June's bedroom and bathroom with the cool tile. The colors in the house are so lovely and restful. Beaver's room is also awesome.
I agree. A very peaceful home.
I have noticed that in almost all kitchens, the is a center island stove that never has an exhaust fan or range hood. Guess it would block the camera’s view of the actors.
Ah! I bet you're right.
The home i grew up in didn’t have a hood/exhaust fan over the stove
@@ravenpoe7093 Same here.. didn't need it.. the kitchen had enough windows to open to vent anything.
@@ravenpoe7093 We recently moved into a 2-flat build in the 50s. We remodeled the kitchens (sorry, the old ones were super tired and had a terrible layout in this case). We found a vent shaft for a stove to be placed on the outer wall of one of the kitchens but the kitchens didn't get finished out at the time of original construction with the stoves on the outer walls. Instead larger stoves were placed on the inner walls with no ventilation. They were still there 70 years later when we bought the building.
That was a great tv house tour! Made me feel “at home.” Now I think I’ll go have a hunk of cake! 😂
Ah! Glad you liked it. 😊
Sheers were very popular in the sixties , seventies and eighties. My mother had sheers between all her drapes. I did too. They were beautiful and the light filtering through was so soft and beautiful. Nothing about this looked like a set.
I remember them well. What I was referring to is that without the windows completely covered we can see outside and that way it looks less like a set.it wasn't about the sheers, it's about the ability to see outside.
You've already done my favorite home - The Munsters....But I'd like to see you do a movie home. The house from "Practical Magic". Especially the kitchen! Best kitchen ever designed, real or imagined.
I've had a LOT of requests for that. I'm sure it will eventually happen.
I loved that home! The kitchen was my idea of heaven and the livingroom close behind. I bet it had a full cellar too. The apothecary, every home should have one. The landscaped yard and The little house were beautiful.
And yes, I would move in tomorrow if it really existed!
Great video! It's amazing seeing these environments in color. My memories of Leave it to Beaver are in black and white, just like the show.
Thanks. I love seeing them as almost real homes.
While working at Home depot as a designer I learned how to do this with software known as 20/20, what an accurate demonstration of the possibilities, thank you.
Isn't it fun? I do it professionally, but I love it so much that, as you can see - it is my hobby too. I couldn't wait to walk around inside of TV homes, once I learned the skills.
GREAT !!! job…. This was a nice surprise and I really enjoyed watching…. The music is great also
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the tour.

I didn't realize how lovely their house was.
It sure held up well over time. Here it is 60+ years later and I'd gladly move in as is.

I used to laugh at the portrayal of married couples sleeping in twin beds. But there are actually quite a few couples who sleep separately because of mattress preferences, snoring issues, etc. The Cleavers struck me as doing their duty twice a year: their anniversary and Ward’s birthday.
@Neal Whaley Older couples maybe, but most likely not a couple Ward and June’s ages.
I think they let their hair down per say in the bedroom! 😁
Conservative TV standards of the 50's and early/mid 60's demanded separate beds.
No toilet, where did they go outside
Ward and june did it twice
I didn't know this was exactly what I needed today! I have often thought that if I won the lottery, I wouldn't build a mansion, I'd have the Cleaver home built exactly as it is here. Thank you for a wonderful job right down to the chocolate cake.
Thank you. I'm glad you got to tour your dream home. It has certainly held up well over the decades. I'd gladly move in, as is.

I've always wanted the "Bewitched" house!
WOW, ME TOO!!!🙏😭❤️
You never disappoint! Great detail, makes me so wish I can tour this in person! Would love to see Laverne & Shirley. 🥰
Laverne and Shirley is on my short list.
Caroline, now Penny Marshall , gained, so much wight , she blew up like a Balloon. . ,And Cindy Williams is still trim , but a few years older now....
Me too! Also to see the Nash home from the 1960s TV series, Please Don’t Eat the Daisies. The Drummond penthouse from Diff’rent Strokes. The Davis penthouse from Family Affair. Henry Warnimont’s apartment from Punky Brewster.
@@pernelldh I'm going to have to check out the TV version of Please Don't Eat the Daisies. I'm not familiar with it.
That was great and staying true to the 50's, no toilet.
Haha. Yes.
We were shown the tank of the toilet in the boys bathroom in their first home. Due to censorship rules at the time none was shown in this home at 211 Pine St. I try to stay true to the homes the way they were shown to us on tv. But I did notice there would be room for one next to the tub in the boys room.
My favorite show EVER
It has definitely held up well. An absolute favorite of mine as well.

Its impressive what your do. Thanks.
Thank you. I love creating these homes.
more great work marina - you're awesome! :) i'm not at all familiar with nor do i even recall a first cleaver house but i love this one - the set designers did a fantastic job to make the audience believe it's a real house, and "sea mist green" (or what i interpret to be sea mist green) has always been one of my favorite colors - there's so much of it in the cleaver home :) this "home" is (to me) second only to the "bewitched" home - but not by very much - i love them both - i'm guessing because they seem real & remind me of my grandparents or my parents real homes, etc. thanks marina! :)
They do seem real. I think part of that is that in both the Cleaver home and the Stephen's home, we got to see all 4 walls. Not all at once, but still we knew what each wall looked like.
What about the storage closet top of stairs to the right where Beaver’s accordion came tumbling out of down the stairs?
Good question. You made me go back and check that episode. In that episode they needed it to be right at the top of the stairs, so it could fall down the stairs in front of the man who came to collect the money owed on the accordion. Normally, that door swings away from the hallway, into the room beyond - you can tell by the hinges. In this episode, it needed to be a closet, so it swings out into the hallway. Good catch! I love figuring out stuff like this.
Been waiting for this for awhile. Well worth the wait. Great job and thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the tour.
I had always pictured June's kitchen as pale, "ice" blue for some reason. But I wouldn't mind having this house with this lovely shade of green. I think I asked about doing Officer Bill Gannon's house on the 1960s series "Dragnet" but I can't remember. I would love to see that home featured. I love the small details you add to your videos of these iconic Hollywood character homes. Thank you!
Thank you. And thanks for the suggestion. Ice blue would be gorgeous in there too. I don't know what the real color was. Wish I did.
Love the tv. Show , I always watch the reruns on Memerable tv,
ME TV. At 8am Mom -Fri.
For some reason I never knew the "ME" in ME TV stood for Memorable. Hmm.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane yes it does stand for Memerable tv. They show old reruns of your favorite childhood tv shows... Alll kinds of TV. Shows , back in the days ... They show cartoons too, u, when you were a child , they even have the 3 stoodges too.. you should check it out...
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane ME = Memorable Entertainment. Great channel!
@@meadduley3868 I will.
Just for fun: Leave it to Wally (fan compilation:) th-cam.com/video/8pCc8tfKXYo/w-d-xo.html
Ward never made much money they were middle class but 60 years ago a family could live in a nice house like that with only Dad working while Mom stayed home June never had a job but back then she didn't have to work.
Very nice! I just bought a new home and have been wondering how to have it painted and decorated, since I have no sense for that kind of thing. The layout of my home is actually not too different from the Leave It to Beaver home, except that Ward's den and the living room are basically switched. This video has given me a number of ideas for paint colors and room layouts. Thanks so much!
Great. I love when that happens.
Marina: enjoyed this tour of Beaver’s home. What fun! Thank you. Carol from California
😊
Holy sh!t!!! They had an Island stove and a double bowl kitchen sink!! And this was in the 50s!!!
The island surprised me too for the 50s. They had a great kitchen. And huge.
The Cleavers home looks so light and airy, this has always been my tv dream home. I would like to take a tour of The Beverley Hillbillies mansion. I know its a big undertaking, but would be wonderful to see 'the cement pond' where Ellie May would swim, as well as all the mysterious rooms we never saw. So please, lets load up the truck and move to Beverly!
I plan on doing the Clampett mansion. You can see all of the other TV and movie homes I've finished here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I would love to see a layout and tour of the home from Bonanza where the Cartwrights lived. I love this channel and glad I found it. Thanks for a wonderful job on the house tours.
Thank you. So glad you found it. I plan on doing the Ponderosa. One of my absolute favorites. And I haven't done a home of that type yet.
I was in the replica of the Ponderosa ranch house near Lake Tahoe, but it was sold so tours are no longer available. The original Ponderosa ranch house was on a soundstage.
@@cybersee9966 I would have LOVED to have toured the replica!
@Marina Coates, It was an amazing experience. It felt as if I was in the Cartwright’s real 1860’s ranch house.
@@cybersee9966 Cool!
It’s nice to remember a time when an average American family could easily afford nice homes like these.
I was a child at this time and the only people who had beautiful homes like this were doctors, lawyers, judges, car dealership owners, commercial airline pilots, etc. The rest of us lived in nice, small, track houses with only one full bath and maybe a toilet for guests. The Cleaver house was the exception to the normal, average families.
@@janethartwig774 Ah yes, I can believe that. I think most tv sitcoms made it look like that was the norm when it really wasn’t.
@@nancyhey1012 All in the Family the Bunkers house was a 2 bedroom one bath attached row house very narrow.
You wouldn't be happy with a home that was nice by the standards of this time period. Today's families expect a separate room and bath for each member of the family. In the 1950s-60s kids shared a bedroom and families were bigger so it wasn't unusual to have even 3-4 kids in one room. The whole family often shared one small bathroom - two if you were lucky. Closets were small with just a rod for hanging clothes and a shelf up above. I grew up in the 1960s and most families I knew had six kids in a three bedroom/1-1/2 bath house.
@@lisalu910 I don’t know about most families expecting a bedroom
And bath for each member of the family. I don’t think most people could afford that today.
Nice job. I’d love to see a tour of Collinwood and “the old house” from the “Dark Shadows” TV show.
Great choice. I'm toying with the idea of doing it for Halloween this year. We'll see.
