Ok peeps, I am getting so many comments about my paint colour post on the "Modern Family" show sets; some both happy and annoyed at my ideas which make me chuckle nonetheless. I got a hot tip from the comments that "People Magazine" had an article about the set design of all three homes so you know I had to rush out a snag a copy. The cover was of course referencing Sandra Bullock and the cashier naturally assumed that's why I was purchasing it and struck up a very in depth convo about it but I digress.

I've scanned the article for all you lovely folks to check out and save yourself the five bucks buying your own copy. I went to the sites it says the decor items can be found and added larger pics for you guys to check out. It also has the famous blue colour everyone has been buzzing about which is called.... wait for it..... Labrador Blue! It can be purchased for the hefty (but well worth it) price of $56.99 a gallon ONLY at Benjamin Moore -I was misinformed before that BM paints could be purchased at other home improvement stores but they cannot- so now that that mystery is solved here are a few other tibits you may be interested in finding out:

Bowen divulges that the cast hides stuff - like Burrell's lunch box or Bowen's apple cores - in cubby holes on-set. "It's disgusting," says Bowen.
1) Branch Out: Abstract florals give a "modern traditional" vibe, says the shows production designer Richard Berg.

2) On The Bright Side: "Not everything has to match," says Berg, who added a splash of sunny yellow to the room's more sedate color palette. "My personal rule is: break one rule per room."

"Comfortable is definitely the look we were after," says Berg. "And this room is as comfortable as it looks."
3) Warm and Fuzzy: "Everyone has a memory of snuggling up under a blanket in the living room," says Berg. "I wanted a broad demographic to relate to this room."

4) Blue walls repeat throughout the house. But "it doesn't feel overdone," says Berg. "It just feels lovely."

A wall features snaps from the stars. "Seeing actors when they're younger, without makeup-suddenly they're real people," says Berg.
Ed O'Neill's take on his cranky character's digs? "I never think about it," he says, "I show up. That's the house. There's the door. Okay."
1) Getting Graphic: "Their home's modernism comes from the vivacious Gloria (Sofia Vergara)," says Berg. And the inspiration for all the zebra print? "I imagine her underwear to be just like that."

2) Stripe Tease: This piece refelcts the set's bold flavors. "If we were to add pastel, tutti-frutti colors, it would like like a circus," says Berg.

"The door to my house is a nightmare," says Vergara. "It makes a horrible noise. They finally fixed it. It had been screaming for seven months."
The couple's nursery mural (inspired by the Sistine Chapel) is "one of the funniest things I've ever seen," says Stonestreet (who plays Cam).
1) Photo Finish: Why did Berg select an exotic frame? "Mitchell and Cam are worldly and well-traveled, and that's brought into their design sensibilities." Plus, "they had more photos to offer up than the other actors."

"My mom loves going through family albums and submitting pictures-it's like her favorite thing to do," says Ferguson (who plays Mitchell) of the real-life photos placed in frames all over the set.
2) In The Limelight: Berg opted for clean classic shapes-like the West Elm couch and this mod lamp-"because they feel familiar," he says. "In design, sometimes familiar beats reinventing the wheel."

3) "This room is all about the grey-green walls," says designer Berg.

"Cameron and Mitchell's taste is refined," says Berg, who accented their living room with wood tones and pops of red.
