Off the wall: sets appeal

Why you can trust SCMP

We get the feeling that American artist/interior designer Brandi Roberts has too much time on her hands. And, like Homer Simpson, she seems to spend most of it watching television.

Unlike Homer, however, Roberts has turned her habit into a lucrative business. She creates floor plans of fictional television homes. So, if you've ever wanted to see a blueprint of, say, Frasier Crane's swish Seattle apartment, Don Draper's office (Mad Men blueprint, below) or indeed Homer's Springfield abode, Roberts can oblige.

A self-confessed lover of pop culture, Roberts says she began drawing floor plans at an age when most girls would rather be playing with Barbie. She has honed her skill over the years and has created more than 100 plans, spanning seven decades of television.

"America has come a long way since the era of the twin beds on I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show," says Roberts, who is based in South Carolina.

The plans are drafted by hand the old-fashioned way and printed on archival matte paper with fade-resistant blue inks to create an authentic blueprint look. Roberts says they look great framed and make interesting presents for fellow TV addicts.
