The Sets

The sets on Mad Men are Wonderful-Pete and Trudy's, the office, hey, even Peggy's.

What I don't understand is why the Draper home is such a mess...Every room is uniformly bad! The bedroom is a mish-mash of bad cast offs, the kitchen is awful and nothing goes with anything in the dining or living rooms. And worst of all-the exterior in no way reflects the horrors waiting inside! (actually the exterior looks early 70's Colonial)
Remember Don sitting in the peach and blue bathroom? That bath in no way is from the same house!
For a couple making big bucks in the early 1960's-their home should be a biit more Rob and Laura Petrie. It looks like a home inhabited by fifty-somethings rather than a couple on the rise.

The set decorators did such a fantastic job on all the other sets-This one is a disappointment. Maybe it was intended to be lackluster, but Betty would know better than to hang sheer Priscillas with that French Provincal headboard. The entire room should be turqoise with white Drexel Touraine furnishings . Those plaques over the bed are plastic and I am sure they were redeemed with 4 books of S&H Green Stamps in 1960. Betty and Don don't sit at home licking stamps!

If the Drapers have no taste-Betty certainly would have hired a decorator.
