Peyton first became curious about art and furnishings as a small child through her late grandfather, an avid antique collector. The two had a Friday night routine together, which was an early supper at Galatoire’s, then walking the nearby antique stores in the French Quarter after hours to window shop.

Peyton would also tag along with him to auction galleries in New Orleans. When auction preview catalogs would arrive in the mail, together, Peyton and her grandfather would sit together in the parlor and he would teach her about how to differentiate between different periods and styles of furniture.

As she grew older, those two pastimes shared with her grandfather became more than just special weekend routines; it became a passion. Peyton would often accompany her grandfather on antiquing trips throughout Europe where they toured galleries and design shops.

It was on one such trip to Germany in where she knew she wanted to pursue a career in the field of design. Upon finishing her Masters degree in Business Administration, she decided to apply to study interior design. Throughout her education and for two years upon graduation, she worked under three highly distinguished New Orleans interior designers.

In 2016, Peyton began her own interior design business in Nashville. While she enjoyed her time there, she longed for the classic New Orleans architecture and returned to her hometown. Raised in the South, Peyton is highly fond of antiques and incorporates them into her designs, wherever possible.

​

After 14 years in the design field, Peyton is just as enthusiastic about interior design as the day she started, and cherishes her relationships with her past mentors, clients who have become friends, and close-knit relationships with her vendors and installers whom she has known for almost the entire duration of her career.
