15 Decor Details in Lorelai Gilmore's House I Can't Believe I Never Noticed Before

The Gilmore household is an eclectic mix of styles that represents the quirky ladies who live there. But in the decor, as in the family, it's Rory and Lorelai who are the heart of it all — can you spot their picture hanging on the wall?

We all know the Gilmores don't cook or bake except under extreme duress, so the wood rolling pins on the countertop are, more likely than not, a cool vintage decor choice.

While Lorelai definitely wouldn't be using it to sew any actual dresses, the pretty iron sewing machine sits in the Gilmore hallway — maybe they got it from Kim's Antiques?

OK, we definitely all noticed this one — how could you not? But the hilariously tacky "leering monkey lamp" that outrages Emily is an absolute classic.

Perhaps Lorelai uses the dress form in the corner of the room when she's sewing, but when she's not, it adds an eclectic touch of style to the living room.

Lorelai's bedside lamp features an elaborate, textured floral appliqu on the lampshade and a small gold pinecone on top. It's a little old-fashioned but also cutely whimsical.

We're not entirely sure what this cool wooden piece behind Rory started out as, but we love it. And we especially love how the Gilmores seem to have converted it into a mini bookshelf to store more of Rory's beloved books!

Not much in the Gilmore house matches, let's be honest. This floral porcelain lamp base, though, actually goes perfectly with the similar floral-print chair. Coincidence or intentional? Who knows with the Gilmores!

It's a staple in Lorelai's house, but have you ever really paid attention to the wooden writing desk in the living room? It's a beautiful, multilevel piece that's probably an antique, and even with clutter on it, it adds a solid, homey touch to the room.

Hey, even the Gilmores are organized when they need to be! We can catch a glimpse of Lorelai's stylish storage solutions with a quartet of woven baskets in the kitchen.

On the rare occasion that Lorelai does cook, she's at least got her spices handy in an easy-access curlicued spice rack on the kitchen wall.

Nothing says "quirky" like a strand of dangling fake red chili peppers in the kitchen, am I right?

It's on the chest of drawers just behind the lamp: a vintage ballerina doll or figurine. The doll is visible in several episodes, sitting in the living room as a whimsical little touch.

Lorelai's living room features a pretty brass wall sconce with a small blue-gray lampshade. It's a later addition to the room, as it doesn't show up in the earliest episodes.

We're not sure what Lorelai uses this big wooden cabinet in her kitchen for. But we do know this: we'd love to have that kind of storage space!
