“Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it. Don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.” — Special Agent Dale Cooper

When Twin Peaks made its television debut 20 years (!) ago, I was one of those geeky young folks who met up with friends to watch each episode while indulging in strong black coffee, an assortment of donuts, and, of course, delicious cherry pie. I recently got to thinking that while I may not want to live on the Twin Peaks set (though I now live just an hour from the famous falls), it was begging to be saluted in decor. So I invited the most stylish woman I know, Tula Jeng of Whorange, to capture the Pacific Northwest-inspired, slightly freaky, utterly fabulous feel of the show. Behold: from log to antler, a tribute to Twin Peaks in decor! — Mary T.

Breathe that fresh mountain air! Smell those Douglas firs! And watch for falling deer heads. Above: Keep Twin Peaks green with a recycled cardboard moose or deer head, $28. Share a drink with Ben Horne in an animal shot glass, $32, or simply admire his taste in Native American artwork from the Steinbrueck Native Art Gallery. Get that modern rough-hewn feeling with a set of three birch lamps, $450, or an indoor mountain view with the Coat Range coat rack, $195. Keep the darkness of the Twin Peaks woods at bay with an antler table lamp by Jason Miller, $270.

Tomorrow: the Log Lady!
