Christina Hendricks is not afraid to take back some design decisions — even if it takes her a while to do so.
The Mad Men alum has long shared glimpses inside her eclectic style, which is perfectly represented by her home in Los Angeles.
Her latest glimpse into her home was into her office, and into the decision to redecorate it after hating the paint color it has had for the last decade.

"I JUST WENT FOR IT!" she first announced in her caption. "This office has been this God awful 'magic castle' purple for over ten years and I hated it when I did it and I've hated it ever since. So I FINALLY stopped overthinking it and added layers and layers. One choice informed the next, which informed the next, etc."
"There was no real plan on this one," she went on, adding: "The paper came first, more brown than expected, then I painted the old dresser that I acquired with the purchase of the house in that beautiful #incarnadine @farrowandball red. Which led to bringing in some vintage cinnabar pieces."

Then things finally started coming together. She wrote: "And that made the chandelier that's been there 15 years stand out for the first time! Then I found this incredible reproduction fabric downtown in the fabric district that mimicked 1930s chinoiserie prints for the drapes and added soft lacey sheers for even more romance. The snake mirror never felt right in my hallway but pulled this room together in its new home perfectly along with lamps shopped from other rooms in the house."

"Gives me #dianavreeland vibes. I can't get enough of the drama. Chinoiserierooms. Homemakeover. Actressinteriordecorator. Dramaticoffices. Opiumdenoffice. Layeredprints. Moreismore," she concluded.

Yes, bold, bountiful, beautiful layers and details. Yes, yes, yes," and: "It's absolutely gorgeous, I love it," as well as: "This is a DREAM!"
In addition to her home in Los Angeles, Christina also reportedly has an apartment in New York City. She has been married to camera operator George Bianchini since last year.
