• 1960 soap suds…with great interiors and clothing: AMC’s Mad Men

    Late 50s early 60s interiors from Mad Men

    Several readers, including Kay and Stephan, have sent me emails raving about the interiors in the AMC series, Mad Men. I checked out all the promo video on their website, and sure enough, the set and costume design is fantastic. The series is set in 1960. The corporate interiors are all very modern, but the home interiors – as we’ve discussed often – are eclectic. Case in point: Distressed Betty Draper’s great knotty pine kitchen.

      Mad Men has had me hooked from the very first episode 4 years ago! I was drawn in by the beautiful sets! I find myself taking in the details of the set decorations, clothing and hair styles as much as the story! I love the Draper’s house! They sold it in this past season, too bad, I loved Betty’s kitchen, family room, all the rooms. The producers pay so much attention to each detail. If you are a regular viewer and read the blog you know that viewers like me scan the sets for any out of place detail and are sure to let them know if anything is not authentic. To date I can’t really recall any such flubs! Great viewing for the set decorations, even the cars have been awesome! Thanks for a great post!
