Today, the company has expanded its reach, product lines, and retail presence, growing into one of Charleston’s most recognizable entrepreneurial success stories. At the same time, Carrie has completed a thoughtful renovation of her historic Church Street home, creating a space that reflects her priorities: authenticity, functionality, and the people who gather around her table.

Carrie Morey’s family home is a residence designed for daily use, frequent hosting, and the realities of balancing a growing business with family life.
