About Suite Pieces

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."
