We believe in fun not fussy

We're all about getting back to what really matters, enjoying life with those you love the most and making your home feel like the best place to be. Hosting and styling shouldn't be work, it should be fun!

That spirit carries beyond our shoppe door and into everything we do at Hunt and Hostess.

Lise Davis

shoppe owner

Lise Davis has always had a love for design, entertaining, and a good story. Hunt & Hostess is a natural extension of the way she approaches both home and life.

Before Hunt & Hostess, Lise co-owned Ayers Davis Interiors with her sister, later opening The Hunt, a shoppe born out of her joy in discovering beautiful, interesting pieces for the home. Over time, that passion grew into something that felt more personal and more inviting.

Today, Lise brings interiors, entertaining, and everyday moments together in a curated shoppe full of thoughtfully selected items intended to elevate everyday living.
