Hello.

My name is Iņaki Aliste Lizarralde and I am dedicated to creating floorplans from movies and television series.
You can see my illustrations on different websites and publications.

Recently a "Murder, She Wrote" fan suggested me to make a floorplan of Jessica Fletcher's house in Cabot Cove.
As a fan of the series this project seemed very interesting to me but I have several doubts...

I know that over a dozen seasons and hundreds of episodes the house has only appeared in a dozen of them.
Could someone help me to locate those episodes?
The fact that it has appeared in so few episodes is the main problem cause only a small part of the house will have been shown.
I remember the kitchen and vaguely part of the living room and a formal dining room.
Does anyone remember if anything else was shown?
A bedroom or a bathroom maybe ...

I know the actual house is in Mendocino, CA and it's a B&B called "Blair House" but obviously the interiors were built in a studio and I'm not sure they will fit 100 X 100 with the actual exterior.

These are my biggest doubts and fears facing this project.
I would appreciate any kind of suggestion or help on this topic.

Thank you very much in advance.

And as for Jessica’s house:

The exterior Victorian Best Little Whorehouse set, relocated from stage 12 feature filming, to a hill area on the back lot, was a stand-in for the Mendocino Victorian. The interiors of this house were filmed, redressed, repainted, redecorated, for many of the episodes for other story scenarios.

I watched numerous episodes from every season of the show possible to get as many interior shots of the sets as I could to show you. I was surprised to find how few episodes actually take place at her house.
