"Mad Men" Inspired Bedroom

Okay, let's face it. 72.5% of the reason I watched Mad Men was for the style. From the interior designs to the costumes, there was such attention to detail! One of my absolute favorites though was Joan's apartment. That coral/aqua combo is just amazing.

So I painted the walls coral (Benjamin Moore 2169-40 "peach cobbler") and I bought some fabric from Hobby Lobby for the curtains (a white muslin and "spearmint" cotton). I love it with the Broyhill Brasilia bedroom set we have and it just makes the room feel so happy when the sun pours in through that south window.

Of course, the walls and one of the corners feel a little naked, and I'm still short one nightstand, so we're not done yet! But boy does that color make a world of a difference!

Framed, I Tell You

Also, I wanted to share these amazing drawings that I found at an estate sale recently of two soldiers. It wasn't until it was pointed out to me that I even realized these two men were on opposing armies. I love the colors, especially the red frames. I've got to find a cool place to hang these guys up! Thinking perhaps they should be facing away from each other though? ;)
