Mad Men Monday – Salute to lamps!

Dec 1st, 2009 | By

This week’s mad Men Monday is late – basically because I had WAY too much fun doing the research for this and am complaining of a chest cold. Next week I’ll start on Friday night!
So, without further ado – here’s our salute to Mad Men Lamps!
The first lamp is on Don’s Desk at the beginning [...]

I found this on Retro Housewife – go say hi for me!



Monday morning just isn't the same

Nov 23rd, 2009 | By

Monday mornings just aren’t the same without my usual surf of reviews and run downs on last night’s “Mad Men” episode. I’m having withdrawl. The interiors and the characters somehow rounded out my week and I’m missing it. So, starting next Monday we will  have an in depth analysis of the interiors on Mad Men [...]



A Retro thanks? Holiday retro green style?

Nov 21st, 2009 | By

I got this email from a reporter at the Denver Post and it made me think:

I think I'm in love – the Mad Men craze continues

Aug 11th, 2009 | By

This delectible house is here in Denver in the famous Arapahoe Acres – wow, what a fabulous house! Check out the other yummy photos of what is known as the “Pool House”. It was used for this tribute to “Mad Men” fashion photo shoot.



Sadly, I'm small potatoes

Aug 7th, 2009 | By

I guess every blogger runs the risk of announcing something huge only to have it smacked away. About 6 months ago it looked like I was a slam dunk for an interview with Amy Wells about “Mad Men”. Sigh. Well, I think I’ve officially been blown off.
It was all lined up – except a date [...]



An "I wish I would have thought of this" blog!

Jul 29th, 2009 | By

“No Pattern Required” is one of my regular reads – and not because she has a lot of the same “passions” I do (not that that isn’t a HUGE draw for all the blogs I read), but because I LOVE her “Mid-Century Menu” feature where she cooks recipes straight out of 50′s cookbooks and magazines [...]



Having my "Martini in the Morning"

I know you’re all big mid-century fans out there and that usually includes a love of Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and many more – so what are you doing sitting there, you really need to tune into Martini In the Morning – it’s an online radio station just for lounge lizards [...]
