to Pender & Peony

Your decorating companion & curated shop

We believe decorating with antiques brings the past forward, giving it new energy through your stewardship. Even when you don't know the full story about a piece it has a patina that is special.

This undeniable mark creates a wonderful circle of connection with the past you just can't quite get from something new.

Filling your house with the right storied decor leads to rooms of warmth, character, and charm. Layering in these timeless pieces creates a beautiful setting for life's greatest and often simplest joys.

Antiques are just the start.

We aspire to homes of expression, belonging, and invitation --

where family gathers, friends linger, laughter abounds, traditions flourish, and everyday living feels inspired.
