Emily Sermons welcomes us inside her charming and timeless 600 square foot home in Charleston, South Carolina.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com/
An Atlanta native, Emily Sermons discovered an unexpected love affair with the southern charm of Charleston during her frequent visits with her partner, Jay. The allure of the city's rich history, captivating architecture, and cultural tapestry led them to purchase a 610 square foot home in the heart of the city.
Originally a 1920’s hotel, Emily's home is a celebration of vintage and antique finds. Inside you’ll find brass finishes, warm wood tones, artwork from local artists, classic green striped wallpaper and subtle nods to mythology with marble busts that echo Emily's deep appreciation for storytelling. For Emily, decorating isn’t just a personal endeavor; it's an opportunity for collaboration with Jay. Their synergy is evident in every element, especially their passion for literature which is seamlessly woven into the fabrics of their home, as first edition copies of beloved classics adorn every ledge.
Emily’s home is a space where functionality meets aesthetics, reflecting her keen eye for design honed through Shoebox Designs, an online community she launched in 2021. As a product manager at Adobe, Emily craved a creative outlet, and Shoebox Designs emerged as the answer. This virtual haven empowers enthusiasts to embrace the magic of vintage and antique decor, proving that style knows no size constraints. Enjoy!

I’m interested in seeing more of your work on other owners homes. I absolutely love your patio, and that dog bed is the best one I’ve ever seen!

I love the way she pulled everything together. I love how she painted the checkers on her patio, I love the olive green wall behind her bed. She is not ashamed that she has small kitchen appliances. She is PROUD and as she should be! Good Job Emily! I'm Inspired.

OK. I shamefully admit that I saw the title of your video a couple times and figured it couldn’t possibly be interesting to see a 600 sq ft home. I couldn’t have been more wrong! I LOVE your home and the way you’ve styled it. I can’t decide if my favorite part is your bedroom or the beautiful gallery wall in your living room. I have plans for creating a gallery wall in my family room, and I’m going to use yours as my model. I’ve learned a valuable lesson: Never judge a book by its cover or a home by its square feet. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home!

Love,love ,love Charles little sun chaise on the balcony!!! He is beyond precious! I also have a thing for hand objects. I just find them so interesting. And I like to collect wood boxes from the thrift shop for styling bookshelves and topping with a small art object or candle. I will definitely be checking out CandleFish.

Your apt evokes all that wonderful warmth & timeless⌚️ nostalgia. A dash of porcelain Chinoiserie⚱️ is always appreciated. A smattering of Greek classics🏺〰️busts, figurines, illustrations, & much more〰️is always welcome. Wooden boxes & drawers full of intriguing treasures. 📚Stacks of beloved books. 🕯Love an excuse to reuse antique glassware. Your 🔥match stick bouquets & verboten 🚬ashtrays are brilliant. ✨️The mirrored trays simply magnify the candle sparkle✨️. 🤓Adore your pleasing palette 🎨. The juxtaposition of antiques w/contemporary is very fresh. That handsome mod rustic timber coffee table fits right in w/fussy feminine old timey pieces⏳️. ❤Mad about a swivel: your swanky wood & leather bar stools w/the barrel chair are perfection here. Your sexy speakeasy pie 🥧 safe turned bar🍸 . 🪄The modern touches surprisingly keep it from feeling like a fusty formal museum. 🥰Marvelous Maximalists🥂... your special collections add maximum soul. They tell sentimental stories of the your loves, life & adventures❤. Kudos for your clever curation. Well done!

Omg, I love, love, love this woman’s taste! Despite the small living space, it has so many well chosen items and objects. Where do I even begin? I love the bar and the coat rack in the entry way. The wood finishes in both pieces are so beautiful. I love how she chose a marble fireplace that was scaled down to the size of her living room and how contained the gallery wall was, with its more modest size, right above the sofa. The old mailbox converted into a place to hold the “accoutrements” for her dog was genius. Probably my most favorite element were the 3 sculptural milk glass pendants hanging from the wooden beam over the island - such a beautiful juxtaposition of sleek and modern against rustic. And the built-in bookshelves around the bed - what a focal point to the bedroom! Her space may be small, but what she did with it spoke volumes❤
