A Mix of Old and New in Charleston, SC By: Grace Bonney

A Mix of Old and New in Charleston, SC


Erin Connelly and Brooks Reitz's Charleston, SC Home on Design*Sponge

Nothing makes me happier than hearing about artists and designers moving to (or staying in) the south to set up shop and be a part of the incredible communities there. There’s just something so special about what’s happening in the deep south right now, both in food and design, that is worth investing in and celebrating. I’ve loved getting to peek inside several beautiful Charleston, South Carolina homes and today, I’m thrilled to share another gorgeous Low Country home.


This 1930s craftsman belongs to Erin Connelly and Brooks Reitz, a couple that know a thing or two about great style. Erin is the co-owner of The-Commons, an incredible online shop that curates American-made goods, and Brooks is an entrepreneur who owns Jack Rudy Cocktail Co and two restaurants in Charleston, Leon’s Oyster Shop and the soon-to-open St. Alban (both of which he designed himself!). After spending many a Sunday walking through their Wagener Terrace/ North Central neighborhood, Erin and Brooks decided to start peeking into windows and yards to see if anything was for sale. They were looking for a home that was small, move-in ready and full of charm and historic details. When they stumbled upon this home four months ago, they fell in love with the cozy kitchen, clawfoot tub and the extra bedroom that was perfect for visits with Finn, Brooks’ son. While they’ve only been in their new space for a few months, they’ve already created a space that expertly mixes their love for contemporary, American-made design with pieces from their travels and treasured hand-me-downs from family. xo, grace
