Mad About . . . Mad Men

It’s the next instalment of Mad Men tonight and those interiors are still looking as fabulous as ever. While the fashion magazines tell us where to get the clothes, here, for those of you who are looking at the houses, are some ideas on how you can replicate the look at home.

 So that’s the office done then. But it wouldn’t be Sterling Cooper Draper Price without a drink. They can often be seen quaffing from these:

Dorothy Thorpe glasses

 

which are Dorothy Thorpe silver-topped glasses from the 1960s. You can still track them down on Etsy and Ebay but they sell fast. I did manage to snaffle a pair a couple of years ago as a Christmas present, but it took several attempts and the bidding was going mental. In the end I succeeded on Etsy where there was a fixed price and a bit less frenzy. On the other hand, you can just buy these from good old Marks & Spencer, which I also have, and are very pleasing to hold and, well, basically cheap.

Oh, and finally, you didn’t think I’d forgotten did you?

    1. I missed that sofa on the last episode and repeated attempts on google have failed to locate a picture of it. Am taking a punt that it might have looked like this http://www.made.com/sofas-and-armchairs/3-seater-sofas/fielding-3-seater-sofa-beige-herringbone, only this is not turquoise clearly. Or this http://www.cimmermann.co.uk/product/park_sofa_3_seater_/ or this http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/couchdesign/product/retro-sofa?utm_source=GoogleShopping&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=109349 in green. And finally this http://www.sofaworkshop.com/sofa/tom-foolery can be covered in turquoise.
