Some of my favorite things to identify are framed artwork found in iconic scenes and sets from Mark Frost and David Lynch’s wonderful and strange world. Examples of these pieces include “Return from the Hunt” at The Roadhouse, “Sea Foam” at the Double R Diner or the floral still life in Laura Palmer’s bedroom. I’m…
Floral print decor runs rampant throughout David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. From floral wallpaper found throughout the Palmer house to walls lined with flowers in Laura Palmer’s dreamworld, flowers are seen everywhere. I recently identified a floral print hanging in the Hayward’s dining room. This time, I travel across their home to look at a…
I’ve been on a kick lately identifying several iconic set decorations from Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. I love finding these background art pieces after seeing them during multiple rewatches for more than three decades. Today, I’m returning to the Hayward house where a beautiful illustration of roses by Pierre-Josephe Redouté created in 1821.

I figured the sticker on the glass door was something found at the actual Mar-T Cafe (known today as Twede’s Cafe). It was something added by the crew…
One of the earliest articles on Twin Peaks Blog was about artwork by English artist Jon Atwood displayed on the Double R Diner set. This article kicked off years of research into identifying props and other set decorations (there’s even a page dedicated to this work now). I love identifying these set pieces as they…
In Part 4 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Dougie Jones has a moment of self-reflection in his bathroom mirror following a great release. For years, I’ve wondered what framed floral image was hanging on the bathroom wall as Dougie approached the mirror. It didn’t take long for me to locate the original artwork first created in…
A prop master’s work isn’t always flashy. Often, they are tasked with making pragmatic choices to flesh out a scene with items that the audience won’t even notice. These are some of the stories I’ve most enjoyed as I’ve gotten to know Twin Peaks prop master Jeff Moore, whose work in the second season both…
