"We don't do fake on 'Yellowstone,' and the bunkhouse is everyone's favorite set," said set decorator Carly Curry. She explained how one of the show's actors helped her decorate the bunkhouse by sharing his life experience.
"Forrie Smith, who plays Lloyd in our show, he is the real deal, a cowboy who lived that life. When we started putting our details into this, I had a pretty good sense of how cowboys live because I live with one. [According to Deadline, Curry and her husband own a ranch of their own.] But talking to Forrie, he was able to give us a lot of little details you wouldn't think of. Like the bottle of Tylenol by his bed for his arthritis, the snuff cans that are all over the place, the Louis L'Amour paperbacks." Louis L'Amour was a Western novelist whose books sold over 110 million copies during his lifetime, according to the New York Times.
All that attention to detail impressed Taylor Sheridan, which is when they knew for certain that they had done a good job. "When Taylor walked in for the first time, he was kind of blown away," Curry said. "He only had a few scenes written for that, but once he saw what was there, he brought it. He said, 'I definitely need more scenes in the bunkhouse.'"
We do too, Mr. Sheridan. We do too.
