The Newsletter
Every week, we're exploring global culture through the lens of the home. From floorplans to fixtures, we examine how houses are built, designed, and decorated around the world (with a side of sass, of course!)
The Podcast
The only podcast where we pass on the pyramids and poke around in the plumbing. I’m Ash, and I'm, exploring the strange, smart, and wonderful ways houses are built, designed, and decorated around the world.
The Books
A new series of OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES books designed to help you try on a new life in different places around the world—by getting to "go behind closed doors" inside local homes to discover what it's really like to live there.
I hope you saw her car parked across the street. It’s the icing on the beautiful cupcake that she is… one of the kindest people.
NO WAY. I DID NOT!!!!
Unless—unlesssssss—I dress for my body type. Which, for clarification, is somewhere between “retired linebacker” and “bouncer with feelings.” Ash, you’re ridiculously funny. Had me crying laughing here.
P.S. I can totally picture Chrissy, she seems awesome!!
You don’t want to see me in a cut-off T-shirt, Elle. IT’S NEXT LEVEL.
WHAT?! NO ONE looks good in a cut-off T. They just think they do.
This is one of my favorite pieces you’ve written. You are the hype team. The cheer squad. I feel this – like it’s happening. We just had our first annual Goat Beauty Pageant Rodeo. It was silly as hell. We had three goats and 22 people showed up. Each goat had a bio that was read as she walked the runway. And she had a walk on song. Thelma’s was Girl on Fire. Friday’s was I’m just a Girl and Louise walked to So What by Pink. It was fabulous. And we raised $1045 for the AFSP. It was a dream and it came true. Next year shall be lit. Thanks Ash – always.
THAT IS SO FUN!!!! And, I mean, if you’re not having fun, what the hell are we all doing?????????? Yes, yes, YES!!!!! Oh, how I wish you could attach photos to these comments. 🤣
Thank god for Chrissy.
HELL YES!
No to eel eggs. Absotively posolutely yes to showing up as your authentic self.
I’m assuming eel eggs are a real thing people eat, right? LOL. I completely just made it up when thinking of one of the grossest things I could imagine at a sushi restaurant hahahahahaahahahahah
I eat salmon eggs though. For real. With pleasure. Eels eggs sound disgusting. Don’t know why. You probably won’t like salmon eggs. I don’t like oysters. Everyone I know loves oysters but I don’t. I like the sparking that they’re served with so I just drink more of that.
My order of entry is boobs. Then arms. And whoever decided the sleeve length on women’s T-shirts can rot.
I second that!!!! Also I hate cap sleeves. Cap sleeves do me no favors. WE MUST PICKET.
YESSS! A thousand times yes! If my wine bar isn’t channeling sophistication and my sports bar isn’t screaming ‘touchdown!’, what’s up? And ‘optimized’? That’s just the icing on your perfectly themed cake — you are quite the pastry chef, Ash!! 😉
p.s. I have a feeling if we ever went to brunch, we’d cause a scene—in a good way, of course. Think dramatic gasps over e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, and spontaneous twirls!
Spontaneous twirls are my love language, ha!!!!!!!!!!! I miss salsa dancing!
I bet we crossed paths at the same places in Philly without knowing each other—we were probably too busy twirling and whirling. 😉
I naturally assumed YOU were the woman in sequins at 9am.
“Some of us weren’t built for ‘effortless.’ Some of us were built for impact.” From now on, I will think of this quote whenever I’m hanging out with my twiggy and willowy 5’8″, size-2-jean-wearing friends. Thank you, sir!
this is a PIECE. 🩵🙏
Ixnay on the eel eggs-ay, as well. So, did Chrissy work there? LOL You said she signed your check. Just curious. I think we all need to encounter a Chrissy at some point. Makes the world go round. LOL
