About Suite Pieces

Attainable & impactful home design is what we strive for at Suite Pieces. We believe everyone has the right to a beautifully curated space. Whether they are a savvy DIYer or need guidance from our expert design team, Suite Pieces is here to create the home you crave.

In 2012, Owner & Designer, Amanda Peppard launched Suite Pieces. Following a passion for design & education, she opened her decorative paint boutique & vintage furniture shop in Huntington Station, NY. Simply educating and instructing eager DIYers through workshops and videos, began Suite Pieces’ journey into home design, one paint can at a time.

With soul & roots firmly based in vintage, Amanda relaunched The Yankee Peddler antique market, as Suite Pieces flagship store in 2014, fusing her DIY decorative paint boutique with a modern way of antique & furniture shopping. This new revision features an artisan market full of artisans & dealers, known as "The Shops" & talented artists located on the 2nd floor as "The Studios."

In late 2018, Amanda circled back to her dreams and original aspiration of interior design and introduced an American-made custom upholstered furniture line along with in-home design services to Suite Pieces. Amanda’s affinity to home design came full circle when Suite Pieces acquired Aboff’s Design Studios and fully expanded into furniture & home design. Our full-service design studio was born, Suite Pieces Interiors.
