Your Guide to the ‘Full House’ House: Who Lived Where and When? ( Part 2)

‘Full House’ 5×3: “Take My Sister, Please”

Fed up with Stephanie’s nosiness, DJ makes the traditional older sibling move originally pioneered by Greg and Marcia Brady: she campaigns for her own room. Stephanie takes this personally, and she gets even more upset when her five-year-old sister doesn’t want to give up her room either. After a bunch of hurt feelings and a one hour-ish stint of Stephanie living in the bathroom, the switch happens and Michelle moves in with Stephanie.

  1. DJ moves into Michelle’s room, where Michelle has lived since even before the pilot.
  2. Michelle switches places with DJ and moves in with Stephanie. Now all three Tanner daughters have lived in that room.

Also wild fact: this episode splits the series into two large halves. The first 96 episodes have DJ and Stephanie bunking together, and the last 96 episodes have Stephanie and Michelle. Did they plan that??

‘Full House’ 5×11: “Nicky and/or Alexander”

The next–and final!–Full House shake-up comes not too long after DJ and Michelle switch rooms. Becky gives birth to twins Nicky and Alex, adding another two occupants of the upstairs attic apartment. A total of 88 episodes of Full House feature this living arrangement, making it the longest-running status quo and maybe the definitive Tanner family setup.

‘Fuller House’ 1×1: “Our Very First Show, Again”

Twenty-one years later, the lights flick on again in the Tanner household to find it super empty. Netflix’s Fuller House begins with just Danny living in the sprawling, four-story house complete with totally finished and inhabitable attic and garage. Was every day just a Risky Business montage for him across four floors?

In the first episode of Fuller House, DJ and her three sons have moved back in with Danny temporarily following the death of her husband (this franchise hates spouses unless they are Becky!). Michelle’s in New York, Stephanie’s on tour in Europe, Joey’s performing in Vegas, and the Katsopolis clan are working in Los Angeles. Danny plans on moving to Los Angeles, too, meaning the house will be sold. But then fate, once again, intervenes…!

‘Fuller House’ 1×2: “Moving Day”

It’s decided that DJ and her family will move into the Tanner house, transforming it into the Fuller house (DJ’s married name is Fuller, get it?). And since this house requires a minimum of six people living in it at once in order to be sitcom worthy, Stephanie and Kimmy move in too, along with Kimmy’s daughter Ramona. Let the moving day shakeup commence!

  1. DJ moves into the master bedroom, Danny’s old room.
  2. Stephanie moves down to Joey’s old basement apartment, which is no longer a recording studio.
  3. Kimmy moves into the attic, previously the Katsopolis love-nest.
  4. Brothers Jackson and Max Fuller get DJ’s old room (the one she shared with Stephanie, and later the one Stephanie shared with Michelle).
  5. Tommy Fuller gets the baby room, a.k.a. Michelle’s old room.
  6. Kimmy’s daughter Ramona moves into Stephanie/Jesse/Joey’s old room.

‘Fuller House’ 2×1: “Welcome Back”

So far the only real shakeups during Fuller House have been because of Kimmy’s ex-husband/current-fiancé Fernando. He moves into the Fuller house in the Season 2 premiere, much to Max’s annoyance. Max, seriously–you already live with a million people and it’s not like they shoved Fernando in the alcove.

Fernando moves in with Kimmy in the attic, making the attic the space with the most occupants in Full/Fuller House history! Here’s how each room breaks down, naming each room after their original function:

  1. Attic (6): Jesse, Becky, Nicky, Alex, Kimmy, and Fernando
  2. DJ’s Room (5): DJ, Stephanie, Michelle, Jackson, and Max
  3. Stephanie’s Room (4): Stephanie (pre-1987), Jesse, Joey, Ramona
  4. Michelle’s Room (3): Michelle, DJ, Tommy
  5. Danny’s Room (3): Danny, Pam (pre-1987), DJ
  6. Basement/Garage (2): Joey, Stephanie
  7. Alcove (1): Joey

More stats: DJ, Stephanie, and Joey have all lived in the most rooms in the house at 3 each (although I’m counting Stephanie’s original room, which becomes Jesse’s in the Full House pilot).

‘Fuller House’ 3×2: “Break a Leg”

And a season later, Fernando moves out of the Tanner/Fuller/Gibbler house and next door into the Gibbler house. So far on Fuller House, the sleeping arrangements established in this episode, with Fernando a neighbor and not a roommate, is the longest-running one at 17 episodes. But who knows what’s in store in Fuller House Season 4!

Season 3 concluded with Danny saying he’s moving back into the house, a move which could once again throw the entire floorplan into chaos. Danny’s only ever lived in one bedroom, will he take his old digs away from DJ? Will he make adult DJ and Stephanie room together again?

Or will Danny become the second person to sleep in the alcove?
