That's exactly what my mom used to say. I was one of six kids too. 3 girls and 3 boys, all close in age just like the Brady's. I was the middle girl so I'd be Jan. We grew up in a small town and people actually referred to my family as The Brady Bunch. What's weird is my older sister and brother really looked a lot like Marcia and Greg!
@@KidRocker44 I had ( still have ) a sister a year and a half older than me. She washed the dishes and i dried them. Hey......I also had to take out the garbage.
That was a lovely tribute! Im 57 and the BB was my make believe family cuz i had a busy single mom. I absolutely loved that show and a few other of the late 60’s. You put a lot of passion into this project. Thank you 🙏
What a well done and fascinating video. My uncle was a plumber for Paramount in the 60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s and worked on many different sets including the sets used in the Brady Bunch house. Some of his duties included going around and making sure everything plumbing-related worked well before filming. I wish he was still around today. I would have so many questions for him about the sets he worked on!
I'd love to ask him questions too. I'm glad you liked the tour. I have done other homes too and there are two more parts to the Brady Bunch home. You can see those and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Awe, I love this!!! I could say I was and still am probably their biggest fan but I'm 100% there are tons out there just like me! Such a great show, great time to grow up with good and decent programming. I miss the good ole days and wish things hadn't gotten so out of touch with what's supposed to be right in this world. A huge thank you for all your hard work to take us down memory lane! Can't wait till the special airs 👏👏👏
Great job ! One thing I did notice however. In episode 1 you show a bathroom in the hallway next to the den. In this episode the bathroom is gone and replaced with the laundry room. In my mind, I always that little hallway under the stairs went back behind the kitchen - so you could access the laundry room and Alice's room from that hallway or from the kitchen.
I have several models of the Brady home. When I did the overhead in Part 1 I had used an older model. There were times on the show when there was a door in that hallway that led to Alice's room. But there were a couple episodes where that hallway is shown clearly and there is no door on that wall at all or at the end of the hallway. So it changed, I'm assuming according to what they needed for the storyline that week. Others have brought this up too. I think if I redid the hallway, I'd keep the door to the bathroom, but add another on the other side for Alice. Thanks for your input 😊
They eventually did get a dishwasher in some of the later years when they did the reunion shows but my theory for the lack of one in the original is that there is more opportunity for different plots if the dishes are washed by hand. I remember episodes where someone washing dishes was a plot device (i.e. Greg getting all wet using the sink sprayer to clean cups) The Eight is Enough house didn't have a dishwasher either and that kitchen was twice the size of the Brady one and even later in the 70's when almost everyone had one. Many episodes had plot situations involving washing dishes. Having said all that, the Partridge house -did- have one but they were too busy touring to wash dishes I guess!
I really don't think dishwashers were all that common in the 1960s. I was a child in the 1970s (when I started watching the Brady Bunch reruns) and our family didn't get a dishwasher until the late '70s. So I think most people watching the Brady Bunch could relate to having to hand wash dishes.
That was just amazing! There was an episode where the boys were wearing sheets, pretending to be ghosts, and they walk past Alice’s doorway. That’s what made me think that there was a back hallway that led from behind the stairs to the kitchen, via the laundry room.
There was a hallway in that episode with a picture hanging on the wall visible through Alice's bedroom door! When I saw that when I was young, it led me to believe that Alice's room was upstairs.
That back hallway went from under the front main stairs to the laundry area and then to the kitchen. The creator of this missed that small detail but you really have to watch to notice that hallway goes the entire length from the front room to the kitchen. The haunted episode in season 1 I thin proves this hallway exists and comes out in 2 places.
@@animalyze7120 I agree. And it is shown at times. But, just yesterday, I was watching episodes for Part 3 of the Brady home and there were 2 episodes where they show that hallway clearly - a really good clean shot and there was no door there and it ends with a dead end - meaning just a wall. ! I wish I'd caught that when I was doing part 1. What it tells me is that sometimes there was a door there and sometimes not depending on what they needed. Wish I could pull that off in my home ;)
Great work. IMO I would love to have had Alice's bedroom. It was tucked away, close to the laundry room to clean my clothes and close to the kitchen for a late night snack.
I agree. It had just enough privacy, yet still convenient to the important parts of the house, like, as you said, the kitchen. Although I would probably want a back door off the laundry room, just so that I wouldn't have to walk through the house when returning from being out on the town.
I like that. Thanks. I'm working on part 2 of Bewitched right now, then onto finishing the original Parent Trap ranch house that I started awhile back. This year I plan to do I Dream of Jeannie, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, The Partridge Family and The Monkees.

in 1960s and 70s TV, i always wonder what behind the door, or next room. making you tube videos myself now, i always make sure something in the background is interesting. your videos are amazing.
Awesome job again!! You totally satisfied my curiosity of some of the unseen areas of this house. Wouldn’t it cool to make some of those famous tv houses as VRBOs??? I would love to spend a couple of nights there!! But I bet that would be super expensive. One can dream! :) ❤️
Wait...I remember an episode where Mike & Carol switched places; and Mike had to help the girls with a Girl Scout badge (or Daisies I think). There was a terrible mess made and I thought they did show between the other side of the island, as they were slipping on broken eggs that were on the floor. I will have to watch and see! Thanks for this Marina🌟💗

Thank you for all your work on this! Great job! I'm guessing younger folks might not understand the fascination some of us have with this fictional house and family. For me, I think they represented some kind of an ideal. Whatever the case, I admire your detective work and story-telling.
Thank you so much! I agree, for whatever reason this show captures something for so many. Seems to go beyond nostalgia, judging by the ratings HGTV's show got last week. It's America's house 😊
Thanks. I had fun doing that. I'm always curious what that family might be living like today. You might like my website, I have tours of classic TV and movie homes, but I also show them updated. It's mockingbirdlane.design
This is great! You covered two areas I always wondered about: Laundry/Alice’s bedroom, and in part one - the hallway behind the stairs. I think in the first season the kids came into the house once from school via behind the stairs! Anyway, fantastic job and you have a new subscriber! Thanks so much.
Laughing at how you included the portrait for Jan to crash her bike into. Speaking of their backyard, don’t forget they were able to put on a production of Snow White for a good sized audience. Loved this and looking forward to more house tours 👍🏽
Glad you noticed that detail 😊 You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I have a design series on this same channel where I take the design secrets from the cinema and bring them into our own homes. It's called Cinematically Inspired Design. If you go to my playlists, just look for that title
I've thought that too. I was even going to talk about that in Part 1. In the tv movie in the 80s they try to talk her into eating with them at Christmas, but she says,"First I serve, then I eat."
I didn't know that. There was a show on tonight where they focused on their car. I just saw commercials . But, by golly, they even got the car right. HGTV has not missed a single detail.
@@scottdowney4865 all the cars on the show were Chryslers or Plymouths except the car that Greg bought for $100 in the episode titled The Wheeler Dealer. That one was a 1956 Chevy Bel Air convertible.
Did you notice in the family room those are not two couches along the walls. IN the 60's and 70's it was popular to have a " Corner Group " consisting of two twin sized beds with covers on them arranged in a corner with a square piece of furniture in the corner. I had a Corner group in my bedroom in the 60's when we lived in Glendale, Ca. One bed was exposed full length with a padded bolster along the wall. The other actually slid half way under the corner piece. My corner unit had a hinged and padded front that lifted up for use as storage. Both beds had covers that made them look like couches. Mom put a big Swag Lamp over the corner piece . On Feb 9, 1971 the Sylmar Earthquake made that big heavy lamp fall from the ceiling onto my bed. Good thing i wasn't in it haha.
Whoa! Quite a story. I didn't realize that they were twin beds. I just thought they looked odd - deeper and flatter than a sofa. So, you just answered my questions.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I bet the Bradys used the beds of this corner group for occasions when they had overnight visitors or when family dropped by. Haha also when Mr Brady was in the Dog House with Mrs Brady hehe.
@@Bill23799 Yes! There is an episode where those bed/couches are made into beds for guests. I'm trying to remember if it's when a grandparent comes to stay or maybe when they did the backdoor pilot episode for "Kelly's Kids" (costarring "Bobby's" real life younger brother). Or maybe it was another time. Anyway, I was recently trying to find a way to cover a mattress on a daybed effectively, and I actually looked up some Brady Bunch clips on RUclips so I could get a good look at those couch/beds. I noticed they were covered very similarly but their backs were done differently/complimentarily. I loved those couch/beds. Such a good use of space!
Assuming the top of the floor plan is North for the sake of this discussion, I envisioned the girls room on the North West corner and the boys on the north east corner. Then when they had the fake ufo it was on the northwest/ west side of the house.
Here's a link to a post on my website where I go over the whole layout upstairs and how I came up with it. On the show all of the bedrooms upstairs looked out over the backyard, but in reality - none of them would. www.mockingbirdlane.design/post/the-brady-home-a-house-of-lies
I love your videos. They are addicting!! One little quibble on the kitchen, though. In the first 4 seasons, the cooktop and double wall ovens were all electric, all stainless; they were all Thermador. The refrigerator was GE, I think, and of course, avocado (a light shade). The cooktop and ovens were exchanged for gas only in the 5th and last season; the cooktop was "harvest gold" and the wall ovens were stylish black glass, possibly Roper. I don't recall the later refrigerator.
Awesome. I love when people know the details 😊 And I'm glad you like the tours. I'm working on the upstairs and backyard of Leave it to Beaver right now. Should be out this next Saturday. Then I'm on to a movie home - North by Northwest.
Concerning those giant cans of tomato sauce. Mrs. Brady's ex husband Roy Martin LOVED spaghetti (as witnessed in A Very Brady Sequel). Mrs. Brady loved to spend Mr. Brady's money, so therefore she bought all that tomato sauce in the event that Mr. Martin should return! Welcome to your new home Roy, so long Mike!
I heard that Marcia Jan and Cindy's father was a University Professor who joined a cruise ship to Hawaii to find rare orchids, he was only supposed to be gone for a Three Hour Tour, but was lost in a storm and never heard from again. 😜
YOU EVEN INCLUDED THE PAYPHONE!!! Such stunning realism and wonderful detail you've added to these, Marina. Plus the way you've formatted the videos makes it so much fun. Thank you! Once again, you get a standing ovation from me.
I'm still so so sad they couldn't recreate that groovy spider leg garage at the house. I heard with space limitations and code restrictions it just wasn't feasible. As a Brady fan, I mourn over that. The garage being absent was a big one to get over. Still, it exists in 3-D, so that's good enough for me. Besides, I'll never get on the property anyway so it doesn't matter... well, sort of doesn't [big sigh]. LOL!
My friends across the street had a pay phone in their house in the 80s. It was so odd to me. We had a very heavy phone but it wasn’t a wall phone, I remember my mom saying she rented it monthly but my friends pay phone always confused me. We were poor but not that poor lol
no dishwasher needed when you have 6 kids... its learning the kids of that time a lil something.. dooooo your chores. not like todays kids .. omg they would run screaming if they had to do dishes
I plan on doing the Monkees pad soon. But, you're in luck on The Munsters. I have already finished that home. It's a 2 part one. In part 1 we tour the main floor, in part 2 I took us upstairs and to Grandpa's dungeon. You can find those episodes and the other TV and movie homes I've finished here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I think one reason the Brady's didn't have a dishwasher is because it wouldn't be seen on the side of the counter where it would be logically placed, but mostly because they just wanted more work for Alice to earn her keep. The Bradys were slave drivers, especially Mrs. Brady who never lifted a finger to perform any housework. She was a very well kept lady of leisure.
Carol Brady, was constantly in the kitchen helping Alice cook stuff.. the episode where Peter says "Pork chops and apple sauce" both mom and Alice are in the kitchen cooking!
@@Runnamuka Look again! Mrs. Brady was only pretending to cook in case Mr. Brady came home. She didn't even have sense enough to turn the burner on under the skillet! Alice was just humoring her until she got tired of pretending to cook pork chops waiting for her to go start another needlepoint or something so she could get the kids fed.
I kept noticing that the plans have the kitchen island with a 90-degree corner, but in real life it was something larger than 90 degrees. Otherwise a great and fascinating walk-through!
Hello, my name is Anthony and I love your videos I was curious about Alice's room and wondering if her restroom could have been a jack and Jill restroom with the restroom under the stairs. Just a thought. Keep up the great work. I would live to know what you think.
I think you've done a great job at giving the Brady home life in your software modeling. I do however want to point out a mistake in the overhead layout image @ 9:55 . You showed in part 1 that the bathroom behind the staircase was positioned to the right in the short hall and just to the left of Mike's office. In part 2 you have the laundry room in a L shape and the washer and dryer are where the bathroom was previously positioned in part 1. Still you really have done a wonderful job here and it has put me in nostalgia overdrive! 😊
Marina Coates - Mockingbird Lane I thought you wanted the original buildings to do a mock up like on the Brady Bunch. But with all the episodes, can see how it would be computer generated. Would love to see that one, especially the big house Laura and Almonso had. Would be fun to see with old furniture and furnishings. Thanks for answering.
Thanks for this look at the rest of the Brady first floor. I'm sure the laundry room was supposed to face the back of the house, but the door is at about 180 degrees from the back doors, so it would have to face the front of the house. As for the Easter eggs this time, I noticed 2 of them but missed the rest from not looking closely enough. I'll look more closely next time. I'm looking forward to going upstairs next time.
In your part 1 segment, you described and showed the mysterious hallway behind the stairs (contained a bathroom). But in your part 2 segment, the overhead view of the home (@09:59) actually shows the Laundry room flowing into the hallway behind the stairs. Which one is correct, the hallway with the bathroom, or the Laundryroom??
That overhead view was from an earlier model. I had put a bathroom back in the laundry room. After seeing the Christmas special, I decided to put it in the hallway. Good catch.
I thought that behind the wall at the top of the stairs was Mike and Carol's master bath/vanity area. When you get to the top of the stairs, you make a little right/left jog to start down the upstairs hallway. First door on the right was the boys' bedroom. Can't remember if there's a door into the bathroom (between the bedrooms) that the 6 kids shared. Past that on the right was the girls' bedroom. Turn to the left near the end of that hallway, and somewhere in your general field of vision would be Mike and Carol's bedroom door. Go through it, and at the far left corner of the bedroom itself is the door that leads to that master bath/vanity area.
@@ApartmentKing66 Here is a post from my website that goes over the layout of the upstairs. www.mockingbirdlane.design/post/the-brady-home-a-house-of-lies
The architect and the classic tv lover in me really loved this! I used to try to draw out the floor plans for the tv houses but this is great! I specifically remember doing the Bewitched home.
Me too. I drew the Bewitched home up when I was a little girl. And I have a degree in architecture. By the way, I have the Bewitched home tour done and up on my website mockingbirdlane.design
@@Johnnyboy792 P.S. Someday, not too far off, I will be doing an episode on here of the Bewitched home, with fun facts, stories, etc. I'm getting to them one at a time. But on my website, as you've seen, I do have the video tours and some information.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Oh that's awesome Marina. Are you planning on The Munster home ? I know the decor (Spider Webs & all ) would be taught to match. Also for some ideas Ozzie & Harriet, Donna Reed & The Partridge Family :) Here's hoping my friend :)
WOW!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! you have REALLY done your homework here, and it shows with STUNNING RESULTS!!!! THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH!!!!! I can only imagine how many hours of hard work it took you to complete such a project, I can also tell you've put a lot of love, because again...the results are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! A humble suggestion...would you consider making such a project but exploring the house of "THE GOLDEN GIRLS" I just love Blanche's room with all the leaves decour!
Hi! I am watching this video and I get to your floor plan of the home and noticed in this floor plan you moved the downstairs bathroom. In Part 1, you decided the bathroom would back up to Mike's den under the stairs. But on this one, you have the laundry room there. The layout in this video might work because I believe somewhere under the stairs was a way to get to the laundry room. I love the Bradys!!
Good eye! You are correct. I have several models of the Brady home. In Part 1 when I show the overhead, that was from an earlier model before I made corrections.
Thanks for all of your work, Marina! The material is quite interesting. By the way, has anyone noticed the Brady House set used in other shows? I think it was used on "Mannix" three times. It was strange to see criminals using the familiar sets for nefarious purposes! "The X-Files" used them once, too.
Dishwashers were becoming popular back then but they were not common and every home it was a new thing my parents did not have a dishwasher until I was born in 1979 And they were awfully expensive.
I'm in my forties in I Love The Brady bunch when I was a kid and even nowit was such a great show it was an older show when I was a kid but it was great it was my favorite show actually
Thank you. Glad you liked the tour. Hopefully you saw the rest of the home and backyard in parts 1 and 3. You can see those and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
There's a story behind that. I was going to do it last October for Halloween, but a huge wildfire caused the evacuation of our entire city for 10 days - the 10 days I needed to have it ready. But, I am currently working on it and it will be up in about 5 weeks on this channel. I can't wait!
The brass flying saucer light fixture over the kitchen table was, of course, from The Brady Bunch Movie and didn't appear on the series. I think, had the Bradys had a light over the table, it could have been a tulip chandelier, an open half sphere at the top with a large round glass ball globe below.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Some other small signs that this was the movie set was 1. the chalkboard was blacker (cleaner) than on the TV set, 2. The cabinet door hinges were silver as compared to dark, 3. the items on the counter were slightly different or added, and 4. the biggest giveaway of all that this was the movie set, aside from the hanging light, was that the paper towels on the holder were WHITE and the 60's set had matching AVOCADO paper towels that were long extinct by the 1990's!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Thank you, Marina! That is much appreciated coming from YOU, the reigning queen of the TV house walk-thrus. My friend Scott and I have long been Brady house historians. Scott once had a bevy of CAD generated sitcom house floor plans on You Tube. He first proclaimed himself as The Brady House Historian, then as he expanded to other shows, he called himself The TV House Historian. He had generated the real McCallister house floor plan long before the real estate broker ever showed us pictures of the interior when the house went on the market last year. BTW, what do you think of my theory on the unused A-Frame section of the house that I posted on your part 1 video? I was hoping to get some feedback from you on that. Thanks again, Marina! I very much appreciate your efforts and enjoy your videos!
To be honest, there was no sign there was ever a bathroom in Alice's room. However, it you think about it, she could have used the bathroom that is beside the stairs in the living room. Her room would have been on the left and the bathroom on the right. Would like to see you design that layout.
The indoor grill never used. - that makes sense. I had an apartment where one were made, as a part of the stove. (Under the hood so it should be no problem) - but believe me. - .... use that indoor grill - and the home will be smelling for days. - it is the sort of thing you only use ONE time. .... and then it just looks cool.
It was originally Mike's house as Carol and the girls lived with her parents until they got married, ad shown in the first/pilot episode. So one of the boys -- probably Greg -- had their own room.
If Alice was making spaghetti sauce she could EASILY use those huge cans of tomatoes! If they are whole tomatoes, they could be used for soup or spaghetti sauce. She's cooking for NINE people, after all....maybe even for TWO DAYS.
And she was always making spaghetti, so .. but we have 6 kids in our family, 3 boys in a row and then 3 girls in a row, all close in age and we would have never been able to consume it. But, I didn't make huge cats of spaghetti all the time like Alice. 😉
Growing up, I always longingly watched the Brady Bunch wishing I could live in that home. Watching this series brings back those feelings and I’ve discovered I still wish I could live in the Brady home. ☺️
Who didn't?! I always wished I could've had them as neighbors, even, let alone growing up in their household. It was well-known in our house. (Of course my brothers used to joke how they were always crying on that show!😁)
You could probably sell admission to Brady Bunch home! HGTV shoulda bought it!!! Also, funny how we all thought how “cool” their home colors were. That was short lived!
I have several models of the Brady home. The overhead is from an early model before I made corrections. You can still see the washer and dryer, I just had them in a different place at that point.
I thought the See Saw in the backyard was and Easter egg....from the episode where Cindy and Bobby were trying to do a world record or something, cute episode. And great vids! Enjoying them here! TY!
I just found your channel and I love it thank you very much. Could you do the Waltons house. I actually went to Virginia and they are re-creating the Waltons house down there. That’s what I heard. We went down there and visited Earl Hamner’s real Home. And of course it was nothing like the TV show home. I love the TV show home. And like I said I hear there are people building the TV show Home in Virginia
Wouldn't it be funny to see Alice's bathroom filthy, with bras hanging from the shower rod, bottles of hair products all over the vanity, a floor covered in hair.... Yes, I have a weird sense of humor.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I am still watching, and just got to the 10:00 point - I never realized the family room was at an ANGLE, connecting to Alice's bathroom. Is that speculation, or totally accurate? Either way, very interesting to a nerd like me. :-)
This is incredible. I was wondering, at 9:55 the floor plan looks different from part 1, specifically the bathroom past the staircase. Maybe I misunderstood that from part 1. Again, thanks for making these videos, very cool.
Oh my you're observant. You're correct. I have several models of the Brady home. When I made the overhead view it was from an earlier model. I changed the bathroom placement after that. 😊
I'm still trying to figure out how the entryway sits in relation to where that upper window (that didn't really exist in the actual house) is. Because if the house leads all the way back in towards the family room from the front door, it seems like the front door would be at the side of the house. If it's in the middle, then it would be opposite the dining room - or the second floor would be sitting cross-section to the first - in other words, perpendicular, especially if the lower window is supposed to be Mr. Brady's den. Of course I'm not an architect by any stretch of the imagination; I'm just wondering how the floors would fit together. So...looking forward to Part 3!
Great job! I was hoping you would address the back door to the fence which the kids came in and out of. I thought they had a next door neighbor so I didn't think it was an alley or led to another street. Also I've noticed in season 1 several times the kids leave the house via the laundry room through the back door instead of the side fence or the driveway. Very interesting.
I’m pretty sure the laundry room/Alices’s room connected to the hallway under the stairs you showed in the first episode. There is an episode of the original show and one in a subsequent revival where characters emerge in kitchen or front room after exiting into that area.
Those indoor grills are a nice amenity to have, and I noticed that by the Christmas reunion movie they had bricked it up and put a microwave there. I have heard though, that the indoor grills like that can be a fire hazard from the grease and cooking fats that can build up inside the chimney, unless your diligent about keeping it cleaned out.
Did you know the home I'm working on right now is The Munsters. I will have it up on here in time for Halloween 🕷 And I'm even going to try to put Spot under the stairs. We'll see how that goes 🤞
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Haha you have to put Spot under the stairs. Maybe you could leave a car's rear bumper on the lawn because we all know Spot loves to chase cars. Haha.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Here is a clip from the Munsters that shows the open staircase well. It lookss like the opening only takes up 6 or 7 steps. At time stamp 22:12 ruclips.net/video/VfjWZi9Cb8w/видео.html Leaving Spot's collar in the yard would make a good Easter egg/
This is so cool and fun. I noticed that the Bradys had an electric stovetop, but you made yours a gas one, and they also had a small sink on the counter along the wall, behind the double sink, but you left this out. Any reason why?
Good catches. I have several models of the Brady home. When I catch mistakes I change them in whichever model I'm working on at the time. So, for example, when i changed the kitchen orangeness to harvest gold, that model did have that little sink in it that you're referring to. However, i hadn't noticed my stove top was gas. So, that's an example where i will now go back and fix that. 😉
I too thought her closet was at the foot of her bed (but we could be wrong). That said, I still love the peek into Alice's room, even if it is a little different than I remember it. :)
You're right. I gave her a window there instead. We never saw one on the show, but she had to have had one. There wasn't any other place to put a window. I LOVE that people are catching these things. It means I'm not the only one that loves the details of these houses.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Agreed! I'm fifty-something, and I feel like I'm part of a generation that shared many common experiences, one of which was the Brady Bunch - and we'd watch it over and over, getting to know a lot of, if not all, episodes really well. It's such a commonality among a certain generation! Funny how we can have impressions of where Alice's closet was, yet I for one never questioned even slightly that the outside of the house was oriented completely the wrong way! That was something you did a great job of showing in your first video on the Bradys. Anyway, thanks again for your wonderful work.
In episode 1 I show a bathroom down the hall under the stairs. Because I have one there [since it was shown in the Very Brady Christmas movie] and I gave Alice a full bathroom in her room, I ended up not putting another one in the laundry room.

The research, the time it took to recreate digitally, the passion behind it! Thank you. I know it wasn't easy. Good work.
Thank you! I appreciate that. I love making these. I'm working on The Munsters right now.
What a well done and fascinating video. My uncle was a plumber for Paramount in the 60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s and worked on many different sets including the sets used in the Brady Bunch house. Some of his duties included going around and making sure everything plumbing-related worked well before filming. I wish he was still around today. I would have so many questions for him about the sets he worked on!
I'd love to ask him questions too. I'm glad you liked the tour. I have done other homes too and there are two more parts to the Brady Bunch home. You can see those and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Awe, I love this!!! I could say I was and still am probably their biggest fan but I'm 100% there are tons out there just like me! Such a great show, great time to grow up with good and decent programming. I miss the good ole days and wish things hadn't gotten so out of touch with what's supposed to be right in this world. A huge thank you for all your hard work to take us down memory lane! Can't wait till the special airs 👏👏👏
I can't wait either. It's getting so close. Did you send in a video to HGTV for their contest to win a week's stay in the home?
I love how u added the pay phone!!!
Thanks. I couldn't wait to put that in there.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I noticed the pay phone immediately. I remember that being one of my favorite episodes!
Great job ! One thing I did notice however. In episode 1 you show a bathroom in the hallway next to the den. In this episode the bathroom is gone and replaced with the laundry room. In my mind, I always that little hallway under the stairs went back behind the kitchen - so you could access the laundry room and Alice's room from that hallway or from the kitchen.
I have several models of the Brady home. When I did the overhead in Part 1 I had used an older model. There were times on the show when there was a door in that hallway that led to Alice's room. But there were a couple episodes where that hallway is shown clearly and there is no door on that wall at all or at the end of the hallway. So it changed, I'm assuming according to what they needed for the storyline that week. Others have brought this up too. I think if I redid the hallway, I'd keep the door to the bathroom, but add another on the other side for Alice. Thanks for your input 😊
They eventually did get a dishwasher in some of the later years when they did the reunion shows but my theory for the lack of one in the original is that there is more opportunity for different plots if the dishes are washed by hand. I remember episodes where someone washing dishes was a plot device (i.e. Greg getting all wet using the sink sprayer to clean cups) The Eight is Enough house didn't have a dishwasher either and that kitchen was twice the size of the Brady one and even later in the 70's when almost everyone had one. Many episodes had plot situations involving washing dishes. Having said all that, the Partridge house -did- have one but they were too busy touring to wash dishes I guess!
Good insights. I'll be doing the Partidge Famoly house someday. Hopefully soon.
I really don't think dishwashers were all that common in the 1960s. I was a child in the 1970s (when I started watching the Brady Bunch reruns) and our family didn't get a dishwasher until the late '70s. So I think most people watching the Brady Bunch could relate to having to hand wash dishes.
That was just amazing! There was an episode where the boys were wearing sheets, pretending to be ghosts, and they walk past Alice’s doorway. That’s what made me think that there was a back hallway that led from behind the stairs to the kitchen, via the laundry room.
Good sleuthing. There may have been 😊
There was a hallway in that episode with a picture hanging on the wall visible through Alice's bedroom door! When I saw that when I was young, it led me to believe that Alice's room was upstairs.
That back hallway went from under the front main stairs to the laundry area and then to the kitchen. The creator of this missed that small detail but you really have to watch to notice that hallway goes the entire length from the front room to the kitchen. The haunted episode in season 1 I thin proves this hallway exists and comes out in 2 places.
@@animalyze7120 I agree. And it is shown at times. But, just yesterday, I was watching episodes for Part 3 of the Brady home and there were 2 episodes where they show that hallway clearly - a really good clean shot and there was no door there and it ends with a dead end - meaning just a wall. ! I wish I'd caught that when I was doing part 1. What it tells me is that sometimes there was a door there and sometimes not depending on what they needed. Wish I could pull that off in my home ;)
Great work. IMO I would love to have had Alice's bedroom. It was tucked away, close to the laundry room to clean my clothes and close to the kitchen for a late night snack.
I hear you. Makes sense. And away from the noise of the kids.
I agree. It had just enough privacy, yet still convenient to the important parts of the house, like, as you said, the kitchen. Although I would probably want a back door off the laundry room, just so that I wouldn't have to walk through the house when returning from being out on the town.
@Ken Lompart Yes. I put one there. You can see it starting at 6:53

Glad you had fun walking through the Brady home while they were out 😉
Wait...I remember an episode where Mike & Carol switched places; and Mike had to help the girls with a Girl Scout badge (or Daisies I think). There was a terrible mess made and I thought they did show between the other side of the island, as they were slipping on broken eggs that were on the floor. I will have to watch and see!

Very well done! Very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you! So nice to hear.
When you say Brady Bunch house the horse statue pops into my head.
Yep. Another iconic part of that house for sure.
Thank you for all your work on this! Great job! I'm guessing younger folks might not understand the fascination some of us have with this fictional house and family. For me, I think they represented some kind of an ideal. Whatever the case, I admire your detective work and story-telling.
Thank you so much! I agree, for whatever reason this show captures something for so many. Seems to go beyond nostalgia, judging by the ratings HGTV's show got last week. It's America's house 😊
Love the Brady's. You are a talented lady! Subbed, can't wait for part 3.
Should be up in a couple weeks 😊
Another great video! I like that you went the extra mile to show what the kitchen would look like modernized. That was cool
Thanks. I had fun doing that. I'm always curious what that family might be living like today. You might like my website, I have tours of classic TV and movie homes, but I also show them updated. It's mockingbirdlane.design
Those orange countertops - for me - were the show's biggest attraction.
Another good job.
It's one of the first things that comes to my mind when I think of the Brady home.
I am in awe at the amount of detail included here. Kudos!
Thank you so much.
I'm even tempted to cook in thar that kitchen!🤠
I can see it decorated in
cyan blue 'n black.
-me(Stacey), the city country kid 🌇🤠🏞️
This is great! You covered two areas I always wondered about: Laundry/Alice’s bedroom, and in part one - the hallway behind the stairs. I think in the first season the kids came into the house once from school via behind the stairs! Anyway, fantastic job and you have a new subscriber! Thanks so much.
Glad you found the channel. 😊
Six kids in that house. They are the dishwashers lol. That's how it was in my house lol.
Love this💕Happy memories-thank you!
I can't find part 3...:) I love the first two! Great job, I loved the Easter Eggs!
I haven't posted it yet. It should be up this week.
Laughing at how you included the portrait for Jan to crash her bike into. Speaking of their backyard, don’t forget they were able to put on a production of Snow White for a good sized audience. Loved this and looking forward to more house tours 👍🏽

I liked the updated look of the kitchen. Maybe that could be the subject of its own channel?
I have a design series on this same channel where I take the design secrets from the cinema and bring them into our own homes. It's called Cinematically Inspired Design. If you go to my playlists, just look for that title
I'm stumped because even though they claimed that Alice was family, she never ate dinner with them. Lol
I've thought that too. I was even going to talk about that in Part 1. In the tv movie in the 80s they try to talk her into eating with them at Christmas, but she says,"First I serve, then I eat."
The Brady's station wagon was a 1971 Plymouth Satellite.
I didn't know that. There was a show on tonight where they focused on their car. I just saw commercials . But, by golly, they even got the car right. HGTV has not missed a single detail.
What was the convertible before the Chevy Impala?
@@scottdowney4865 all the cars on the show were Chryslers or Plymouths except the car that Greg bought for $100 in the episode titled The Wheeler Dealer. That one was a 1956 Chevy Bel Air convertible.
@@willdwyer6782 I'm pretty sure probably the last season there was a Chevy convertible maybe a 75 ....
Did you notice in the family room those are not two couches along the walls. IN the 60's and 70's it was popular
to have a " Corner Group " consisting of two twin sized beds with covers on them arranged in a corner with
a square piece of furniture in the corner. I had a Corner group in my bedroom in the 60's when we lived in Glendale, Ca.
One bed was exposed full length with a padded bolster along the wall. The other actually slid half way under the corner piece.
My corner unit had a hinged and padded front that lifted up for use as storage. Both beds had covers that made them look like couches.
Mom put a big Swag Lamp over the corner piece . On Feb 9, 1971 the Sylmar Earthquake made that big heavy lamp fall from the ceiling onto my bed.
Good thing i wasn't in it haha.
Whoa! Quite a story. I didn't realize that they were twin beds. I just thought they looked odd - deeper and flatter than a sofa. So, you just answered my questions.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I bet the Bradys used the beds of this corner group for occasions when they had overnight visitors or when family dropped by.
Haha also when Mr Brady was in the Dog House with Mrs Brady hehe.
@@Bill23799 Yes! There is an episode where those bed/couches are made into beds for guests. I'm trying to remember if it's when a grandparent comes to stay or maybe when they did the backdoor pilot episode for "Kelly's Kids" (costarring "Bobby's" real life younger brother). Or maybe it was another time. Anyway, I was recently trying to find a way to cover a mattress on a daybed effectively, and I actually looked up some Brady Bunch clips on RUclips so I could get a good look at those couch/beds. I noticed they were covered very similarly but their backs were done differently/complimentarily. I loved those couch/beds. Such a good use of space!
As a kid back-in-the-day I always wanted to live in that house, I still like the layout. I love mid-century modern design.
Assuming the top of the floor plan is North for the sake of this discussion, I envisioned the girls room on the North West corner and the boys on the north east corner. Then when they had the fake ufo it was on the northwest/ west side of the house.
Here's a link to a post on my website where I go over the whole layout upstairs and how I came up with it. On the show all of the bedrooms upstairs looked out over the backyard, but in reality - none of them would. www.mockingbirdlane.design/post/the-brady-home-a-house-of-lies
I want to see The Golden Girl's house!!😀🙏
I love your videos. They are addicting!! One little quibble on the kitchen, though. In the first 4 seasons, the cooktop and double wall ovens were all electric, all stainless; they were all Thermador. The refrigerator was GE, I think, and of course, avocado (a light shade). The cooktop and ovens were exchanged for gas only in the 5th and last season; the cooktop was "harvest gold" and the wall ovens were stylish black glass, possibly Roper. I don't recall the later refrigerator.
Awesome. I love when people know the details 😊 And I'm glad you like the tours. I'm working on the upstairs and backyard of Leave it to Beaver right now. Should be out this next Saturday. Then I'm on to a movie home - North by Northwest.
You're so creative and you've got a talent for updating homes too. Excellent job.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this.
Concerning those giant cans of tomato sauce. Mrs. Brady's ex husband Roy Martin LOVED spaghetti (as witnessed in A Very Brady Sequel). Mrs. Brady loved to spend Mr. Brady's money, so therefore she bought all that tomato sauce in the event that Mr. Martin should return! Welcome to your new home Roy, so long Mike!
Haha
Hold the mushrooms?
I heard that Marcia Jan and Cindy's father was a University Professor who joined a cruise ship to Hawaii to find rare orchids, he was only supposed to be gone for a Three Hour Tour, but was lost in a storm and never heard from again. 😜

YOU EVEN INCLUDED THE PAYPHONE!!! Such stunning realism and wonderful detail you've added to these, Marina. Plus the way you've formatted the videos makes it so much fun. Thank you! Once again, you get a standing ovation from me.
Thank you! I had fun making this model and couldn't wait to add that payphone. 😊
I'm still so so sad they couldn't recreate that groovy spider leg garage at the house. I heard with space limitations and code restrictions it just wasn't feasible. As a Brady fan, I mourn over that. The garage being absent was a big one to get over. Still, it exists in 3-D, so that's good enough for me. Besides, I'll never get on the property anyway so it doesn't matter... well, sort of doesn't [big sigh]. LOL!
My friends across the street had a pay phone in their house in the 80s. It was so odd to me. We had a very heavy phone but it wasn’t a wall phone, I remember my mom saying she rented it monthly but my friends pay phone always confused me. We were poor but not that poor lol
I loved this. You are so clever and thorough. How cool that Marcia saw and liked your work.
Thanks.
no dishwasher needed when you have 6 kids... its learning the kids of that time a lil something.. dooooo your chores. not like todays kids .. omg they would run screaming if they had to do dishes

Thank you. I have so much fun with these episodes.
Do another one with all the updates from the 80's-90's
That's an interesting idea. I may do that one day.
I think one reason the Brady's didn't have a dishwasher is because it wouldn't be seen on the side of the counter where it would be logically placed, but mostly because they just wanted more work for Alice to earn her keep. The Bradys were slave drivers, especially Mrs. Brady who never lifted a finger to perform any housework. She was a very well kept lady of leisure.
Carol Brady, was constantly in the kitchen helping Alice cook stuff.. the episode where Peter says "Pork chops and apple sauce" both mom and Alice are in the kitchen cooking!
@@Runnamuka Look again! Mrs. Brady was only pretending to cook in case Mr. Brady came home. She didn't even have sense enough to turn the burner on under the skillet! Alice was just humoring her until she got tired of pretending to cook pork chops waiting for her to go start another needlepoint or something so she could get the kids fed.
@@retrounderground1 Carol always went grocery shopping with Alice! I don't think Alice could drive
@@lazyhomebody1356 True. Mrs. Brady let Alice out at the supermarket while she went shopping in other stores.
@@retrounderground1 You can't deny Carol did her share carrying those heavy grocery bags in from the station wagon!
I kept noticing that the plans have the kitchen island with a 90-degree corner, but in real life it was something larger than 90 degrees. Otherwise a great and fascinating walk-through!
Can you do the "12 Angry Men" room? 🤣🤣🤣
Hello, my name is Anthony and I love your videos I was curious about Alice's room and wondering if her restroom could have been a jack and Jill restroom with the restroom under the stairs. Just a thought. Keep up the great work. I would live to know what you think.
Yes. That could work.
This was so much fun to see thanks so much
I think you've done a great job at giving the Brady home life in your software modeling. I do however want to point out a mistake in the overhead layout image @ 9:55 . You showed in part 1 that the bathroom behind the staircase was positioned to the right in the short hall and just to the left of Mike's office. In part 2 you have the laundry room in a L shape and the washer and dryer are where the bathroom was previously positioned in part 1. Still you really have done a wonderful job here and it has put me in nostalgia overdrive! 😊
Sharp eye! That's because I have several models of the Brady home and the overhead was from an earlier model before I made those changes.
Nice😀👍... do u think u could do some structures from little house on the prairie?
I want to some day. I have such a list! :)
Wait! Didn’t they blow that all up for real on the final episode?
@@sjs9354 This would have to be pre-blast structures.
Marina Coates - Mockingbird Lane I thought you wanted the original buildings to do a mock up like on the Brady Bunch. But with all the episodes, can see how it would be computer generated. Would love to see that one, especially the big house Laura and Almonso had. Would be fun to see with old furniture and furnishings. Thanks for answering.
@USA#1 !! No, they blew it up.
How many time do you think Alice snuck Sam in the back door so he could 'Deliver some meat'?
Thanks for this look at the rest of the Brady first floor. I'm sure the laundry room was supposed to face the back of the house, but the door is at about 180 degrees from the back doors, so it would have to face the front of the house. As for the Easter eggs this time, I noticed 2 of them but missed the rest from not looking closely enough. I'll look more closely next time. I'm looking forward to going upstairs next time.
The top floor tour will hopefully air in 2 weeks.
In your part 1 segment, you described and showed the mysterious hallway behind the stairs (contained a bathroom).
But in your part 2 segment, the overhead view of the home (@09:59) actually shows the Laundry room flowing into the hallway behind the stairs. Which one is correct, the hallway with the bathroom, or the Laundryroom??
That overhead view was from an earlier model. I had put a bathroom back in the laundry room. After seeing the Christmas special, I decided to put it in the hallway. Good catch.
Thank you! Loved this. Can't wait to find out what's behind the door at the top of the staircase!
You and me both. Actually, I will have an answer to that in Part 3. 😉
I thought that behind the wall at the top of the stairs was Mike and Carol's master bath/vanity area. When you get to the top of the stairs, you make a little right/left jog to start down the upstairs hallway. First door on the right was the boys' bedroom. Can't remember if there's a door into the bathroom (between the bedrooms) that the 6 kids shared. Past that on the right was the girls' bedroom. Turn to the left near the end of that hallway, and somewhere in your general field of vision would be Mike and Carol's bedroom door. Go through it, and at the far left corner of the bedroom itself is the door that leads to that master bath/vanity area.
@@ApartmentKing66 Here is a post from my website that goes over the layout of the upstairs. www.mockingbirdlane.design/post/the-brady-home-a-house-of-lies

I saw your comment on Episode 1, so you can check there, but bottom line is - yes, I will be doing the Golden Girls home.
Hi! I am watching this video and I get to your floor plan of the home and noticed in this floor plan you moved the downstairs bathroom. In Part 1, you decided the bathroom would back up to Mike's den under the stairs. But on this one, you have the laundry room there. The layout in this video might work because I believe somewhere under the stairs was a way to get to the laundry room. I love the Bradys!!
You have a sharp eye. I've made several models of the Brady home and the overhead image was from an earlier model, before I made changes.
I am a Brady GEEK! And, yes, I have entered their contest!
@@leiadaniels3181 Good Luck!
u changed the bathroom washroom layout from 1st vid. the bathroom off stairs was on the rite as u walked in the hall from under the stairs.
Good eye! You are correct. I have several models of the Brady home. In Part 1 when I show the overhead, that was from an earlier model before I made corrections.
Thanks for all of your work, Marina! The material is quite interesting. By the way, has anyone noticed the Brady House set used in other shows? I think it was used on "Mannix" three times. It was strange to see criminals using the familiar sets for nefarious purposes! "The X-Files" used them once, too.
Yes! It was a popular set.
Dishwashers were becoming popular back then but they were not common and every home it was a new thing my parents did not have a dishwasher until I was born in 1979 And they were awfully expensive.
I'm in my forties in I Love The Brady bunch when I was a kid and even nowit was such a great show it was an older show when I was a kid but it was great it was my favorite show actually
I love the stone and brick used in the home. This was fun to watch. Thank you for your hard work. Fabulously done.
Thank you. Glad you liked the tour. Hopefully you saw the rest of the home and backyard in parts 1 and 3.

I seem to remember, sometimes a couple of the kids would get home from school and enter the backyard through the back fence.
Does that sound right ?
Yes. I've pondered that too. I don't think we see them open a gate. But there must be one somewhere.
so you do tv houses, your site is called Mockingbird Lane, but you don't have the munster house. hmmm.
There's a story behind that. I was going to do it last October for Halloween, but a huge wildfire caused the evacuation of our entire city for 10 days - the 10 days I needed to have it ready. But, I am currently working on it and it will be up in about 5 weeks on this channel. I can't wait!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane sounds awesome!
In the floorplan you made at 10:03, the hallway behind the stairs and its bathroom are missing. Instead you have a massive laundry room.

I think it would be neat to see one of Gary and Val's house from Knott's Landing, or the E.T. house.
Ooh..and the home of The Addams Family too...because didn't EVERYBODY want a fireman's pole in their living room? :)
I like the harvest gold spin on the kitchen. I’ve been told Formica is an inexpensive tool to experiment with, or at least was at one time.
The brass flying saucer light fixture over the kitchen table was, of course, from The Brady Bunch Movie and didn't appear on the series. I think, had the Bradys had a light over the table, it could have been a tulip chandelier, an open half sphere at the top with a large round glass ball globe below.
Oh my gosh. Somehow I missed that light fixture when I grabbed that image. Funny. 🤣
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Some other small signs that this was the movie set was 1. the chalkboard was blacker (cleaner) than on the TV set, 2. The cabinet door hinges were silver as compared to dark, 3. the items on the counter were slightly different or added, and 4. the biggest giveaway of all that this was the movie set, aside from the hanging light, was that the paper towels on the holder were WHITE and the 60's set had matching AVOCADO paper towels that were long extinct by the 1990's!
@@retrounderground1 Wow! I'm impressed.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Thank you, Marina! That is much appreciated coming from YOU, the reigning queen of the TV house walk-thrus. My friend Scott and I have long been Brady house historians. Scott once had a bevy of CAD generated sitcom house floor plans on You Tube. He first proclaimed himself as The Brady House Historian, then as he expanded to other shows, he called himself The TV House Historian. He had generated the real McCallister house floor plan long before the real estate broker ever showed us pictures of the interior when the house went on the market last year. BTW, what do you think of my theory on the unused A-Frame section of the house that I posted on your part 1 video? I was hoping to get some feedback from you on that. Thanks again, Marina! I very much appreciate your efforts and enjoy your videos!
@@retrounderground1 For some reason I'm just now seeing this comment. I'll go check out the A-frame comment.
To be honest, there was no sign there was ever a bathroom in Alice's room. However, it you think about it, she could have used the bathroom that is beside the stairs in the living room. Her room would have been on the left and the bathroom on the right. Would like to see you design that layout.
That could work. But I would assume that was a half bath because of the space allowed and I gave her a tub/shower combo. She would need that.
The indoor grill never used. - that makes sense. I had an apartment where one were made, as a part of the stove. (Under the hood so it should be no problem) - but believe me. - .... use that indoor grill - and the home will be smelling for days. - it is the sort of thing you only use ONE time. .... and then it just looks cool.
But the house had a puny 3 bedrooms (not including Alice's). How lame.
Part 3 of the Brady home will take us upstairs to see those three puny bedrooms. It should be up in about a week.
It was originally Mike's house as Carol and the girls lived with her parents until they got married, ad shown in the first/pilot episode. So one of the boys -- probably Greg -- had their own room.
If Alice was making spaghetti sauce she could EASILY use those huge cans of tomatoes! If they are whole tomatoes, they could be used for soup or spaghetti sauce. She's cooking for NINE people, after all....maybe even for TWO DAYS.
And she was always making spaghetti, so .. but we have 6 kids in our family, 3 boys in a row and then 3 girls in a row, all close in age and we would have never been able to consume it. But, I didn't make huge cats of spaghetti all the time like Alice. 😉
Growing up, I always longingly watched the Brady Bunch wishing I could live in that home. Watching this series brings back those feelings and I’ve discovered I still wish I could live in the Brady home. ☺️
Yep. I get it. I've loved that home too ever since I was a little girl.
Who didn't?! I always wished I could've had them as neighbors, even, let alone growing up in their household. It was well-known in our house. (Of course my brothers used to joke how they were always crying on that show!😁)
You could probably sell admission to Brady Bunch home! HGTV shoulda bought it!!! Also, funny how we all thought how “cool” their home colors were. That was short lived!
They did buy it, and converted the inside to match the actual BB Soundstage set..
10:00 where did the laundry go. Goes from the kitchen into Alice's room with no door. lol
I have several models of the Brady home. The overhead is from an early model before I made corrections. You can still see the washer and dryer, I just had them in a different place at that point.
Marina Coates - Mockingbird Lane. I was only having a joke, hence the lol. Thanks for the reply, love the series. Great job!

I thought the See Saw in the backyard was and Easter egg....from the episode where Cindy and Bobby were trying to do a world record or something, cute episode. And great vids! Enjoying them here! TY!
I debated. Let's call it one. Did you find all 6 then?
I just found your channel and I love it thank you very much. Could you do the Waltons house. I actually went to Virginia and they are re-creating the Waltons house down there. That’s what I heard. We went down there and visited Earl Hamner’s real Home. And of course it was nothing like the TV show home. I love the TV show home. And like I said I hear there are people building the TV show Home in Virginia
I will be doing the Waltons home. It's one of my favorites too.
Awesome 👍😎
Wouldn't it be funny to see Alice's bathroom filthy, with bras hanging from the shower rod, bottles of hair products all over the vanity, a floor covered in hair.... Yes, I have a weird sense of humor.
😆
At 2:01, yes, we never saw it from that angle.
Alice [Anne B. Davis] sure got to see a lot of that view. Wonder if it was even finished back there.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I am still watching, and just got to the 10:00 point - I never realized the family room was at an ANGLE, connecting to Alice's bathroom. Is that speculation, or totally accurate? Either way, very interesting to a nerd like me. :-)
I'll bet it was finished. I doubt when they built the set they knew all the angles they would shoot over the life of the show.
@@kurtvonfricken6829 I would love to find out from one of the cast members.
Have you ever done the Clampet mansion?
Not yet. But I plan to. You can see the homes I've done on my website mockingbirdlane.design
This is incredible. I was wondering, at 9:55 the floor plan looks different from part 1, specifically the bathroom past the staircase. Maybe I misunderstood that from part 1. Again, thanks for making these videos, very cool.
Oh my you're observant. You're correct. I have several models of the Brady home. When I made the overhead view it was from an earlier model. I changed the bathroom placement after that. 😊
I noticed that, too.
@USA#1 !! Those poor Bradys.
I'm still trying to figure out how the entryway sits in relation to where that upper window (that didn't really exist in the actual house) is. Because if the house leads all the way back in towards the family room from the front door, it seems like the front door would be at the side of the house. If it's in the middle, then it would be opposite the dining room - or the second floor would be sitting cross-section to the first - in other words, perpendicular, especially if the lower window is supposed to be Mr. Brady's den. Of course I'm not an architect by any stretch of the imagination; I'm just wondering how the floors would fit together. So...looking forward to Part 3!
@@denisemayosky1955 I think you'll figure things out from this post from my website. www.mockingbirdlane.design/post/the-brady-home-a-house-of-lies
Thanks Marina. Liked....Subbed...rang da bell.
Yay!
Great job! I was hoping you would address the back door to the fence which the kids came in and out of. I thought they had a next door neighbor so I didn't think it was an alley or led to another street. Also I've noticed in season 1 several times the kids leave the house via the laundry room through the back door instead of the side fence or the driveway. Very interesting.
Yes. It is interesting. Wish they would have shown us more of that area.
I’m pretty sure the laundry room/Alices’s room connected to the hallway under the stairs you showed in the first episode. There is an episode of the original show and one in a subsequent revival where characters emerge in kitchen or front room after exiting into that area.
Yes, that's what I was thinking!
Those indoor grills are a nice amenity to have, and I noticed that by the Christmas reunion movie they had bricked it up and put a microwave there. I have heard though, that the indoor grills like that can be a fire hazard from the grease and cooking fats that can build up inside the chimney, unless your diligent about keeping it cleaned out.
The Bewitched house had a similar one too.
Cinema inspired design...hmmmm?
So you're saying I can design a pivoting main staircase so I will have a place to keep my pet dragon?
Haha.
Did you know the home I'm working on right now is The Munsters. I will have it up on here in time for Halloween 🕷 And I'm even going to try to put Spot under the stairs. We'll see how that goes 🤞
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Haha you have to put Spot under the stairs. Maybe you could leave a car's rear bumper on the lawn because we all know Spot loves to chase cars. Haha.
@@Bill23799 I actually have no idea how I'm going to do it, but I just HAVE to.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Here is a clip from the Munsters that shows the open staircase well. It lookss like the opening only takes up 6 or 7 steps. At time stamp 22:12

Leaving Spot's collar in the yard would make a good Easter egg/
That couch in the den actually converts into two twin beds. I had beds like that in my bedroom in 1977-78!
Cool!
This is so cool and fun. I noticed that the Bradys had an electric stovetop, but you made yours a gas one, and they also had a small sink on the counter along the wall, behind the double sink, but you left this out. Any reason why?
Good catches. I have several models of the Brady home. When I catch mistakes I change them in whichever model I'm working on at the time. So, for example, when i changed the kitchen orangeness to harvest gold, that model did have that little sink in it that you're referring to. However, i hadn't noticed my stove top was gas. So, that's an example where i will now go back and fix that. 😉
Great video!!!, but isn't it Alice, not Ellis.
Pretty sure Alice's closet was straight across from her bed. I remember her getting a dress out.
I too thought her closet was at the foot of her bed (but we could be wrong). That said, I still love the peek into Alice's room, even if it is a little different than I remember it. :)
You're right. I gave her a window there instead. We never saw one on the show, but she had to have had one. There wasn't any other place to put a window. I LOVE that people are catching these things. It means I'm not the only one that loves the details of these houses.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Agreed! I'm fifty-something, and I feel like I'm part of a generation that shared many common experiences, one of which was the Brady Bunch - and we'd watch it over and over, getting to know a lot of, if not all, episodes really well. It's such a commonality among a certain generation! Funny how we can have impressions of where Alice's closet was, yet I for one never questioned even slightly that the outside of the house was oriented completely the wrong way! That was something you did a great job of showing in your first video on the Bradys. Anyway, thanks again for your wonderful work.
@@mapleleaf0 I bet you'd really like this post from my website then www.mockingbirdlane.design/post/the-brady-home-a-house-of-lies
Alice needs some toiletries!
Neat but you didn't show the small hall and half bath on the other side of the stairs which would take up room in the service porch...
In episode 1 I show a bathroom down the hall under the stairs. Because I have one there [since it was shown in the Very Brady Christmas movie] and I gave Alice a full bathroom in her room, I ended up not putting another one in the laundry room.
