Hi! I’m Peyton! Interior designer, digital-marketing escapee, mom of one, and the caffeine-fueled voice behind The Cabinista. My report cards always said “talks too much,” so now I channel that superpower into a midnight-powered deep dive sent straight to your screen.

Picture the friend who keeps 42 tabs open, a backseat packed with vintage scores, and a playlist that swings from Fleetwood Mac to Kacey Musgraves. If I’m not doom-scrolling lighting specs at 12:07 a.m., I’m chasing my kid, starting (yet another) project, or road-testing a new recipe that may or may not set off the smoke alarm.

Welcome to The Cabinista! Come for the good stuff, stay for the soundtrack. 🪩

Why subscribe?

Think of The Cabinista as a voice note from your design-obsessed best friend sent at 12:07 a.m. because she just uncovered the exact linen-blend sofa nobody’s talking about.

Direct to your inbox weekly.

Weekly midnight deep dives into materials, layouts, and those tiny details that secretly make a room.
No-fluff product reviews only recommend items that either live under my own roof or have survived a truly unhinged research spiral. Usually both.
High-low magic. Designer-grade hardware next to a thrift-store lampshade? Yes, please. I’ll share the sources everyone else gatekeeps.

You'll also get a slightly chaotic check-in from me. I promise it will be useful. Or at least entertaining.
