In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, we see Laura Palmer spending lots of time in her bedroom. While working on film location stories about the Palmer House used in the film, I decided to search for the floral still life hanging above her dresser. It didn’t take long to find a match.
As a collector of prop replicas, I love it when an item is featured so prominently that it’s easy to identify the make and model. There are several clear shots of Donna Hayward’s cassette player as the gang listens to tapes that Laura has recorded for Dr. Jacoby.

This time, we return to the Johnson house for a prop in the kitchen that is seen in the first two seasons. I was researching something completely different when I came across this…
After Becky Burnett delivers bread to Toad at the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks – Part 5 on Showtime, she meets up with her husband Steven where they share a moment behind the restaurant.
