Mad Men Style: Part 2

Roger Sterling's office... I love the classical marble statue. Completely unexpected.

The faux draped fabric wallpaper in Sal's home is fantastic...

The Drapers' formal living room pre-'redecoration'... I love the wall color and the pair of Asian chairs are wonderful

The 'redecorated' living room...
The wall color is the same and the drapes are suspiciously similar. However, the pair of chairs and the Asian inspired sofa are great.

The lobby of Conrad Hilton's hotel in Rome... I love the columns and the gold-leaf domed ceiling...

A detail of one of the mosaic columns... fabulous

Roger Sterling's new office... so completely chic then, and still as stylish today. I could do without the mushroom shaped lamp, but the Saarinen desk and the black and white art work are to die for...

Sterling's home... I love the juxtaposition of the antiques such as the harp and the wood paneling with the modern leather and chrome furniture.
I can't wait for the next season...

Mad Men Style: Part 1

After having to watch a few episodes of the latest season against my will a few months ago, I've finally become a Mad Men devotee. I was told you have to watch them from the start and so I have... obsessively pressing "Play Next Episode" on Netflix every few nights. The acting is superb and the subject matter is surprisingly interesting. However, my favorite part, as with any film or theatrical performance, is the set...
This zebra patterned wallpaper feels so fresh and modern...

I love this gilded wall with silhouetted bamboo...

Miss Menken's Manhattan apartment is decidedly chic. The sofa, table lamps, side tables, and coffee table are all fantastic...

The Draper residence is pretty conventional... almost boring. However, these taupe chairs edged in a monochromatic trim are a definite favorite...

Betty Draper's family home... the portrait of her mother above the mantle is amazing...

The barn Betty Draper rides at couldn't be much more idyllic... not to mention I love this guy's crimson jodhpurs...
