Coming Full Circle

a note from Lydia

From each of my parents I gained a deep respect for the buildings we call home. My father built custom homes & my mother managed residential and commercial properties, which means I was on the job site in my pack-n-play before I could walk.

I loved watching my dad draw up blueprints on our kitchen table and spent hours of my childhood wandering up and down the aisles of carpet and wallpaper samples with my mom as she picked out new finishes for our rental properties. In fact, my very first job was helping her refresh & upgrade units in between tenants. You could often find me clipping articles out of my mom’s Better Homes and Gardens magazines, sketching out a new room design or tidying my closets & drawers for fun.

Like many teenagers I wanted to carve my own path rather than go into the family business, so after high school, off I went to college and graduate school, earning my Masters Degree in Education, and eventually landing a teaching job at one of the top all-girls college prep schools in the country.

I spent my days encouraging my students to discover their strengths & pursue their passions, and tinkered in the world of home organizing and decorating during my weekends and summer breaks. By the time my husband and I settled in Wilmington, NC in 2017, I decided it was time for me to follow the advice I had been giving my students for thirteen years and took a deep dive into the world of home organizing and design. I launched Seaside Styling & Organizing in 2018 and it has been an incredible journey.

Carrying on my parents’ entrepreneurial spirit of helping people create a place to call home is both an honor and a privilege. I can’t wait to help you create a space you feel good about returning to each day!
