A Nancy Meyers-Inspired Charleston Cottage

Interior designer Riley Welner transformed a builder-grade Charleston home into a warm, collected retreat filled with vintage finds, family heirlooms, and thoughtful layers of character. After falling in love with the house on a spontaneous Zillow scroll, Riley spent the last year and a half blending Lowcountry charm, coastal influences, and antique treasures sourced from Facebook Marketplace and local thrift stores. From striped wallpaper and gallery walls to a dining room filled with secondhand gems, every space tells a story rooted in family, hospitality, and the art of creating a home that feels uniquely personal. Enjoy!
