The thing is, they don't tell you where those fabulous client chairs came from. I coveted those when I saw them last season. DIY Draper headboard tutorial coming soon.

Actually, she doesn't give away any information at all. Set designers tend to jealously guard their sources. None of the suggestions she makes are for items or stores she actually used for the show, as near as I can tell. It's obvious that the furniture and decor for this set comes from second-hand stores - shops specializing in original mid-century modern furnishings. The casual observer may not know the difference between a new sofa from room and board and an original Florence Knoll or George Nelson sofa, but enough people would. I actually know where she bought most of her furniture for the show, but I'm not telling either :-).
