     I saw FWWM for the second time last night, and after reading
     a couple of comments on here about the locations/sets and
     their soundstage counterparts, I paid close attention.

     Harold's room - or whatever that is; trailer? - is basically
     the same.  The set from the second season was obviously
     BASED on the location they filmed his FWWM scenes in.  There
     are bookcases on BOTH sides of his apartment - i.e., on both
     sides of the greenhouse (the door to which we are shown, but
     not the window).  I thought it would have been a nice touch
     to show Harold actually HIDE the diary in his secret panel...

     As for the Palmer house -- this is the same house that was
     used in the pilot.  This is the same house that the soundstage
     sets were based on.  The thing that's throwing everybody (I think)
     is that it's no longer just a 2 dimensional, 9/10 human scale
     set: IT'S A REAL HOUSE NOW.  
     And since FWWM is a movie, with more time and allowance for 
     sophisticated shooting style, the look of the house through
     Lynch's camera can be more elaborate -- hence the confusion.

     The Hayward house - exterior and interior - is also the same
     from the pilot, just shot differently.
