New Digs

I'm doing a little redecorating around my house, and it has me thinking about new homes (respectively, of course) for Don and Betty.

Some scenarios:
Don and Megan: Let's assume Don and Megan marry. Or they are "engaged" for a long time. Megan convinces him to move out of the incredibly depressing hole in the Village. They'll move into one of those low-ceilinged postwar white boxes with sliding glass doors onto a terrace. Kind of like the apartments you'd see in 1960s Doris Day movies. Modern furniture, modern art, but Don's office will contain remnants of his "past life," whether Megan likes them or not.

Lots of the latest toys and gadgets for when Sally, Bobby and Gene visit. There will be a sleek wet bar, and its supplies will gradually start disappearing when Sally starts "experimenting" with different concoctions.

Betty and Henry: Not so sure on this one, as Henry's financial situation is somewhat murky. I suppose they could be living in a staid brick Colonial or a faux Tudor. Betty will, somewhat unconsciously, decorate the home so it is not at all dissimilar from the one in Ossining. There will be lots of reminders of her life with Don around the house, and Henry will insist they be put away or discarded. Bets will refuse.

Given the state of her marriage, Betty's fainting sofa might be relegated to the basement. Sally and Bobby's rooms would be rather spartan, as they seem like prime candidates for boarding school.

A curve ball I'd like to throw: Since Henry is involved in the 1968 election year, he defers moving into a new home, and has Betty and the kids move in with his mother. Now THAT would be fun!

Your thoughts?
