Crazy for Mad Men
>> Friday, September 3, 2010
If you haven't seen Mad Men on AMC, you are missing out. Now in its 4th season, Mad Men has won 13 Emmys and 4 Golden Globes, and for good reason! An invigorating period piece, the show is set in the 60's world of advertising where excess dominates and rules don't matter.
I admit I'm a late convert, but after catching the first few episodes of this season Mad Men had me completely hooked. So, like any crazed TV show addict, I went and bought the first 3 seasons on DVD and they do not disappoint so far!
Lately my relentless watching of Mad Men has me dreaming of a life as a set or costume designer...
Don't you just love Don's paneled office and portable ashtray? The color scheme and modern furniture really set the mood.
Or how about the Draper's impeccable kitchen? I love all of the small accents that really make it feel lived in (like those beautiful rounded corner shelves above Betty's head.)
Plus, I can't forget about Don and Betty's fabulous tufted headboard. I'd love this for my house!
Not to mention the AMAZING costumes on the show. Joan's wardrobe is my personal favorite. Simply stunning.
However, Betty's subdued elegance lights up the screen and is a close second.
Of course, you can't forget about the dashing men either!
Are you convinced to go watch it yet? What are some of your favorite shows?
