Coming at you straight from the turn of the ’70s, the first episode of “A Very Brady Renovation” has debuted on HGTV.
Here’s the story of a lovely family home, which just hit the market in Studio City for $1.885 million.It doesn’t get much more fun than watching half a dozen middle-aged former child stars completely trash the interior of a perfectly good home with sledgehammers. The show started out with the remaining cast and the Scotts yanking out the supports on a big exterior awning. Boom!Good thing the production team had brought gift bags and rose bushes to all the neighbors before the work started.
McCormack was consulted about whether to go with a different angle to the stairs, or cut back and have only 11 steps. She helped the Scotts build a mock-up of the staircase so she could step onto it and remember the view. In the end, TV’s Marcia Brady opted to keep the angle and ditch the 12th step.Toward the end of the episode, Barry Williams joked that the network had to cancel the show because all six of them didn’t fit on the living room couch anymore.
For the renovation, that camelback couch was custom-built and, most important, its distinctive fabric was re-created using a computer and a digital printing process. McCormack signed off on the design of the fabric.Knight got involved in some forensic home building as he fixated on finding the exact shade of paint seen in “The Brady Bunch.” The home had been repainted at least once since it was filmed for the show, and it was a slightly different shade.
Turns out Knight found original paint by unscrewing the light fixture on the front porch and revealing what was hiding behind. Also important to the exterior look: a new window here, and no window there, plus the proper landscaping and removal of a low wall that had been installed to keep fans at a distance.
