Let’s peep in on a day in the life span of our favourite 1960s ad men. Get ready for March 25, when they come sauntering back to our lives after a too-long hiatus! — Jen from Second City Soiree

Japanese Screen Painting, Crane Byobu – $2,495
That assembly in Bertram’s office was nothing short of aggravating. I kept mindlessly staring at all the Japanese art, particularly that new display using the cranes.
Thomas Hayes Gallery
Sergio Rodrigues Rosewood Bar on Casters – $4,500
No matter. It is time to get a beverage. To the bar cart, made from handsome walnut wood!

Georges Briard Old-Fashioned Tumblers – $50
First things first. We are in need of rocks glasses. These gold banded ones will do.
Skjode Skjern Teak Ice Bucket & Tongs – $475
Peggy! Ice! Oh, right. You’re not the secretary anymore. Look, would you please just fill this wooden ice bucket? It even has nice handles so it will be easy to carry.

Arte Italica Liquor Decanters – $200
And the last component, scotch, poured from a crystal decanter. A man is only as good as his or her decanter — or something like that.
Danish Modern Recliner by Ib Kofod Larsen – $1,450
Drink in hand, let us “brainstorm” while we sit into those Danish recliners.
Thrive Home Furnishings
Modern E2 Office Desk – $1,649
Back to work — need to come up with a brilliant thought. Should be easier while sitting in my brilliant midcentury modern– inspired desk.
White Marble rectangle foundation lamp – $595
Let’s shed a little light on the topic, shall we? The ebony lampshade is a nice contrast to the warm foundation.

USB Typewriter Computer Keyboard Royal – $699
Peggy, form a memo. Oh, right, again with not being a secretary piece. Ok, I’ll just use my iPad and this USB keyboard.
Post 27
Color Story Credenza – $2,800
Where were those notes? I know I stashed them into this “color story” credenza. Were they behind the goldenrod door, or even the burnt orange door?

Slide Carousel Clock – $65
Wow, look at the time. Why yes, that’s a clock made from a Kodak Carousel Slide Projector. After we won the account, they had been so thankful they gave us 50 of these. What in the world are we going to do with 50 Carousels?

1960s Western Electric Yellow 554 Rotary Wall Telephone – $145
Better phone Betts. This time of day, she’s probably in the kitchen. Great thing I got her nifty wall telephone. The things they think of those days!
The Hip Hostess
Sheath Design Aprons – Merri Mixers – The Hip Hostess – $36
Sigh. Well, Don will be late, as usual. I’m just going to hang out here in my darling small apron.

1960s Crystal Table Lighter and Ashtray Set – $29
… And smoke a cigarette using this smart lighter-and-ashtray set. I adore how the crystal dances round the room at sunset.

Textured Off White Curtains with Bamboo Stalks and Leaves – $135
What’s all that racket in the garden? I’ll just peek out through the kitchen drapes. Sally, stop waving your dad’s hammer around! Honestly, you might chip it, and then he’d be really mad.

Franciscan Heritage 16pc China Dish Set – $155
Sally, Bobby, please place the table. Use the pretty Franciscan Heritage place and don’t drop it, otherwise no Mr. Magoo for you later.

Sandy Wilson Cashmir Fainting Couch
Cooking dinner is indeed tiring. I believe I’ll have a rest in my lovely fainting couch. I don’t care if it doesn’t go with the rest of my living room.
Etsy
Handmade Natural Wood Retro TV Ipad Dock – $60
Bobby, quit pestering me with inquiries and go watch TV. Or see a program in your own iPad, nestled with this TV frame. It is nearly the exact same thing.
Williams-Sonoma
Fairfax Headboard
And so to bed. Don’t you just love my tufted headboard? So comfy when sitting up in bed, reading the Ladies’ Home Journal.
Detroit Garden Works
Nichols Bros.. Hampton Jardiniere – $1,525
I just hope I don’t dream of mommy’s beautiful jardiniere. I just know that pesky sister-in-law of mine has her attention on it.
