One recommendation that has an interesting twist on this is a PBS series I saw several years ago, I think it was called War House or something like that. The series restored a London suburb house to its 1940 standard, including furniture etc and then had a family selected from volunteers that lived for several weeks in it as if they were living there during WW 2. They had to go through rationing, air raids, the whole thing. Kind of interesting both from a visual and reenactment standpoint.
