Inspired by 1950s design, costumes seen in Twin Peaks’ first two seasons were from several notable companies such as Pendleton or Italian-based United Colors of Benetton. Lara Flynn Boyle’s Donna Hayward sported a Benetton cardigan sweater in the pilot episode, which found its way onto Moira Kelly in David Lynch’s 1992 feature film Twin Peaks:…
Long before Twin Peaks Blog was launched in February 2018, I was fascinated by props and other set decorating from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks and motion picture, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Today, identifying these objects is a key part of this website that documents and archives this wonderful and strange…
In Twin Peaks episode 2.018 (#25 from the second season), Audrey Horne visits the Twin Peaks City Library to research civil disobedience. While there, she meets Windom Earle who is disguised as a poetry professor named Edward Perkins.

This is one of those situations where I wish I had a time machine to transport me back to March 23, 1991. I would attend an auction held for St. John’s Prep School in Collegeville, Minnesota which had several Twin Peaks items donated by 1967 graduate Bob Engles. Recently, I found one of those items…

The quest to identify all the props from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show Twin Peaks continues with a unique offering originally posted by Executive Producer Sabrina Sutherland. She through out a challenge to identify a whisky bottle from the archive. As it turns out, the breakaway glass bottle prop appears in my…
My fascination with identifying props from Twin Peaks started in the early 2010s after seeing the Twin Peaks Props website run by brother Jerry Horne. One of the first I found was the hot dog serving platter at the Johnson house followed by Special Agent Dale Cooper’s milk glass. One of the more obscure background items…
While updating the location article about the Mitchum Brothers home, I saw a brief scene of a digital clock sitting on a shelf during Part 11. It’s one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” props but it called to me as I could clearly see a manufacturer’s name – Bruno.
I adore mid-century modern design which is probably why I’m in love with Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Furniture, artwork and more from the 1950s and 1960s are found everywhere throughout the series and film. I can now add two more items to the growing list of props or set decorating from this…
