I agree with Meg and I also read about the set decorating for Mad Men. I also remember well my mother’s 60′s kitchen. It is true, people did not rush to gut a functioning kitchen (or any other room for that matter). “Tract” homes were few and far between. Homes were what was available from the 20′s on. Furniture was something that also was slow to change. What people seem to remember are magazine ads for 50′s style Jetson’s kitchens. If you don’t believe me – watch any of the remodeling shows on HGTV. There are thousands of these old beauties out there that are a tad down at the heels but out there they are. Some how they have more personality than today’s cook-cutter granite and stainless look alikes.

Re the kitchen- I read an interview either with Matthew Weiner or perhaps a set designer for the show where it said “essentially” (but way more articulately) that yes their kitchen is later 50′s, but it was done on purpose to show how American’s generally were less disposable with things and so Don and Sally wouldn’t just gut a still young and functioning kitchen. I think the article even mentioned the headboard change – that it may have been a splurge for them, to show Don’s income/career progressing.

Hey … I just re-read this post because I love Mad Men so much … and was wondering if you had done an update with Season 2 since they’re now on Season 3

I’d love to see some good photos of the original “Father of the Bride” with Tracy, Taylor and Bennett. That house was fabulous.

I don’t watch TV much but just got into Mad Men and LOVE it! I’m also a fan of Big Love and didn’t even recognize the chic that plays Alby’s wife!

In 60s kitchens, it was more likely you had little coffee cups and kitchen appliances on your wallpaper in blues, greens and blacks and pinks than any plaids, but the wood kitchen cabinets is very right.

HI! Hooked on your site….love the hollywood homes!

I live in Pasadena – and have read that Mad Men does some filming here – and I often see film crews in the neighborhood – would you be able to find out if they do film here?

Can’t wait for Mad Men tonight!!

All the best – Tracy.
