MAD MEN mid century modern living room BLOG Mad Men Style: 4 Easy Ways to Infuse 60s Chic Into Your Home

There’s no doubt about it: the sixties have made the ultimate comeback and design-lovers couldn’t be happier about it. As Mad Men reminds us with its rousing return this Sunday, that decade was the perfect combination of sexy and chic—and don’t we all wish we could magically transform every piece of furniture into an Eames, Jacobsen, or Bertoia original. In reality though, there’s no need for a total do-over. You can still have a retro-cool feel to your home style with just a few choice pieces to spice it up.

Check out four easy additions to your home décor that would make Don Draper feel right at home.


1. Pick Up a Signature Chair
You don’t need a room full of vintage furniture to make a statement. One signature piece can add real flare to a room. You can either splurge on an iconic original like the Eames Lounge or choose a comfortable 60s-inspired chair like the Anson in spa-blue.

2. Tell Time with Style
Telling time was never as hip as it was in the sixties. Lucky for us, we can still get our hands on some great deco pieces. Go for subtle like the Nelson Wheel below or be more colorful—the coolness is all in the design…and the attitude.

3. Light Up the Room with Mod Lighting
Lighting can definitely be more than functional. Add a lighting fixture with interesting geometrics or choose a lamp with clean modern lines—the spotlight will be shining on your style sense in the best possible way.

4. Serve Up Cocktails With Style
When it comes to entertaining, the sixties had it down to an art. And you can too with the right equipment. Add an “Entertainment Unit” to your home (we’re not talking about Blu-Rays and plasma TVs here) and serve up that Tom Collins with a little swagger in your step.

FINANCIAL RELIEF TO EMPLOYER, EMPLOYEE AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed on March 27 to provide financial relief to small business owners, independent contractors and other unemployed Americans.  The Act was unprecedented in size and was passed quickly through Congress to speed relief to those harmed by the COVID-19 crisis. There are many ambiguous provisions in the law that will be clarified by rule-making at the federal and state agencies.

Think This Is a Housing Crisis?

  Think This Is a Housing Crisis?   Think Again. With all the unanswered questions caused by COVID-19 and the economic slowdown we’re experiencing across the country today, many are asking if the housing market is in trouble. For those who remember 2008, it’s logical to ask that question. Many of us experienced financial hardships, lost homes, and were out of work during the Great Recession – the recession that started with a housing and mortgage crisis. Today, we face a very different challenge: an external health crisis that has caused a pause in much of the economy and a major shutdown of many parts of the country. Let’s look at five things we know about today’s housing market that were different in 2008. 1. Appreciation When we look at appreciation in the visual below, there’s a big difference between the 6 years prior to the housing crash and the most recent 6-year period of time. Leading up to the crash, we had much higher appreciation in this country than we see today. In
