I love finding new things to share. This one happened by accident as I was desperately searching for something completely unrelated when I stumbled upon three Currier and Ives prints found at the Double R Diner in the show’s first two seasons. These three pieces join other previously identified artwork including Norman Yeckley’s “Spring Formal”…
While recently searching for the Con-way Central Express (CCX) mug prop in various scenes taking place at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station, something caught my eye in Sheriff Truman’s office. We all know Truman’s name is reminiscent of the 33rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. It appears that his love of presidents…
One of my favorite things to find are props that were carried over from the Pilot Episode to the regular season of Twin Peaks. Thanks to the help of fellow Bookhouse Boy Jason McMahan, I recently picked up a replica of the Con-way Central Express (CCX) Miles Ahead mug that is seen both in the Pilot…
In “The Autobiography of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes,” author Scott Frost establishes that Coop has been fascinated by tape recorders since he was a child. As any viewer of the series can attest, this checks out. Throughout Twin Peaks, Dale Cooper uses a total of three different micro cassette recorders….
When I think of being a Twin Peaks fan in the 1990s, three things come to mind – the Log Lady introductions on Bravo TV, John Thorne and Craig Miller’s outstanding magazine “Wrapped in Plastic,” and mail order catalogs from Bruce Phillips.

The Rancho Rosa Estates film location tour wraps up with a scene from Twin Peaks Part 5. A group of five thieves (or punks if you’d prefer) attempt to steal Dougie Jones’ vehicle and get a rather enlightening surprise. Thanks to the Behind the Curtain footage from the Twin Peaks – From Z to A Collection, we…
In Twin Peaks – Part 3 on Showtime, hitman Jake (played by Bill Tangradi) tracks Jade’s yellow Jeep as she leaves the Rancho Rosa Estates neighborhood. This film location article is a nice companion piece to both articles detailing fellow hitman Gene’s stakeout outside Dougie Jones’ love nest in Parts 3 and 5 and Jade and…
During my quest to identify all the props used in Twin Peaks, I love discovering items that appear in both the television series and the 1992 feature film. For this article, I highlight Italian floral-themed wall art at the Palmer House. Don’t blink as you might miss these items found at the bottom of the staircase.
Here’s a deep cut that I enjoy as both a Twin Peaks prop aficionado and a Northern Californian – a postcard from Jacques Renault’s apartment in Twin Peaks episode 1.005.
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.
