[24] Mad (for) Men and women


Modern Couch at  AtomicKatz in Oshkosh WI

A drink and a nap anyone?

Mad Men on AMC is hot television. There is a sudden desire for all things modern: houses; furniture; good looking men with dark hair and are named Don Draper. In a mad shop right off Main St. you can find some of these most wanted items.

AtomicKatz is known for their really cool vintage clothes and ugly Christmas sweaters, but did you know about their furniture store next door? If you want to decorate your hip pad with the original furniture from the Mad Men generation, take one step in there and have your checkbook ready. You will not leave without something to make your place swing.

If this chair was yellow it wouldn't still be at the store.

And if it is like most of the Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price, etc., furniture and has cigarette burns, no worries. Johnny on the spot Deb Toman, co-owner, can fix you and your new furniture right up, licity split. So grab your Sinatra Christmas MP3, plug in your ear bobs and scoot over to AtomicKatz now, before this mad cap romance with all things cool and modern becomes really popular and you are left with your pearls and petticoats.

Okay, maybe not everyone digs Mad Men. There are many other pieces, just visit and see.

Of course, you could contain yourself for hours playing dress up. Got a style, a memory, a decade, a designer, what ever you are looking for, your odds are good of finding it on the racks at AtomicKatz. Word is they were the primary supplier of most of the ugly Christmas sweaters making the rounds of parties in town.

For your next luncheon at Gardina's Wine Bar and Cafe

There are some really fascinating things in that store. I saw one recent find that is just too fab to describe. Just go in and ask Sandy for that man’s 70s shirt she discovered. She and Deb spend a lot of time scouring estate sales, thrift and antique stores or just answering their phone when a friend has something really great to add.
