Friends were always telling me that I needed to watch Mad Men. Something about the amazing mid-century set design. I will admit, during the first few episodes, I would zone out (probably annoyed by the insistent smoking and womanizing) and find myself just looking at the interiors. But soon enough I was hooked and all of the wonderful mid-centuriness off it all was just a big bonus. I am all caught up with the first 4 seasons of this series. Now I think I’ll just wait for the season 5 dvd set so that I can have myself yet another Mad Men marathon.

Awsome! I love mad men…even though I reacted exactly like you in the first episodes 🙂 And I love your posts inspired by TV series.
Mad Men is such a phenomenal show, isn’t it? I can’t believe it took you so long to get into! I am anxiously awaiting its return, but I think you have plenty of time for a season 5 marathon. I love all the sets and the fashion. I could do without the smoking and womanizing though, haha. Love your picks! Roger’s office is my favorite.
I too am so smitten with the interior design on the set! It is one of the inspirations for more color in my life!
I’ve never watched an episode of Mad Men but their set design certainly look fabulous! The fashions are pretty amazing too 🙂

I’ve never seen Mad Men, but my friend has been telling me I must watch it. Will have to pick up Season 1 and see what I think. Looks pretty cool from your pics. x
Since I have smoked for more years than not and recently gave up, I can’t watch Mad Men because it just makes me want to smoke! I love the goodies you chose for Joan’s kitchen!

I have never seen Mad Man but I can certainly say that I would enjoy watching the interiors and also the clothing as well.
i have an off again on again relationship with mad men – but it’s fitting no? i can handle the smoking, it’s the womanizing that starts to grate on me. i haven’t made it too far but i am sure i will pick it up again. but the set design! oh, how i would love to be apart of that crew. i have my eye on one of the arc floor lamps, not sure it would fit my space but i really want one!
I can’t wait for the new season in April. I love Mid-Century Modern so the series is a feast to the eyes. I’ve always been a sucker for sunken living rooms!
I have to say that I might be one of the few who doesn’t like Mad Men. I like the interiors in the show and vintage things in general but I got bored of the show and haven’t been watching the last season. 🙂
The DIY swag light seem like it could be fun.
