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.
As part of my extensive research into Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, I maintain multiple open investigations into the details about my beloved television show. I may start a research project only to return to it years later. I’ve discovered that if I wait, sometimes the stars turn and the mystery is revealed. This…
Twin Peaks feels like home because of its believable clutter. Rich set decoration makes its spaces feel real and occupied, and the coziness of a place like the Double R Diner is palpable through the screen.

In Twin Peaks episode 2.021, Agent Cooper hypothesizes that “if the door to the Black Lodge does exist, it probably exists at a point in time.” Symbols from the Owl Cave petroglyph and a pocket book on planets lead him to conclude that the gateway opens when Jupiter and Saturn meet. This is known in…
One aspect of Twin Peaks that I’ve greatly enjoyed over the years of being a fan is how well mystery is mixed with some comedic relief. A true joy was seeing David Lander, famously known for playing Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley, return to the ABC Television network in Season 2 of David Lynch and…
One of the many knickknacks occupying the shelves of the Hurley house is a souvenir ceramic boot from Bobby McGee’s Conglomeration. Let’s take a look at where this boot appears in Twin Peaks Seasons 1 and 2.
Continuing my look at the costumes worn by actors in Twin Peaks, this Costuming Peaks article focuses on Audrey Horne (played by Sherilyn Fenn). Audrey’s outfits, much like her character, matures throughout Season 2.
