If you watch Mad Men, you know that Roger Sterling loves to cheat on his wife. In a recent episode of Mad Men, he and his 20-something lover (and now fiancée!) Jane lounged in a hotel room whose color palette caught my eye. While I'm not a fan of infidelity, I do love the chestnuts, cool silvery greens, and ivory of this room.

I love Peggy Olsen, the junior copywriter on Mad Men. She's tough as nails, fascinatingly complex, and a genuinely good person. While I have some hope for her personal fashion changing a bit since she's been hanging out with openly gay and Euro copywriter Kurt (he made a vast improvement to her hair), I'm not so sure if I'm so hopeful for her apartment.

While I've told you about how to get the look of the Mad Men set, from Helen Bishop's living room to Don Draper's office, I still have more to share with you. The sets from this show are just too fabulous to ignore, so I'm going to take you through a few more ideas for recreating the show's unique, mid-century look.
There's something so decadent about Betty Draper's scenes at her psychiatrist's office.

AMC's Mad Men hits the mark on so many levels, from its spot-on, witty dialogue to its vintage geekery and sexy '60s looks. I, of course, am all atwitter over the awesome interiors.
The next room I'll break down is Helen Bishop's living room.

Everyone, it seems, is talking about AMC's Mad Men, but for wildly different reasons. GeekSugar's loving the vintage geekery while BellaSugar can't get over the sexy '60s looks. I, of course, am all atwitter over the awesome interiors.

I have a feeling that CB2's Draper Sofa ($799) is named after a certain dapper ad man. It certainly looks midcentury, with its dashing stripes and reserved silhouette. I also love that it's made with a certified sustainable, kiln-dried hardwood frame and a soy-based polyfoam seat.
Whenever there's a scene in Mad Men involving the Drapers' bedroom, my eyes are always drawn to their tufted velvet headboard. Its color, texture, and tufting are over-the-top feminine, and reflect nothing of Don's removed masculinity. But maybe that's the point of this headboard — to reflect how removed Don Draper is from his home and its contents and inhabitants.
I couldn't help noticing the spoon collection on the wall behind Betty Draper in an episode of Mad Men. My grandmother had one just like it, down to the wooden case. My mom never carried on this tradition, and I certainly haven't.
