    “A person who sees the world like a buffet of 77 types of mac and cheese.” & “Because while other people were born to keep the lights steady, you were born to light the sky.” OMG — how are you in my head so much, Ash? πŸ™‚

  2. Clio says:

    Aaaand, I’m going to print it and hang in above my bed. Or on the fridge. Or somewhere I can read it every day until I’ve memorized enough that it becomes my mantra.

  3. Nicki Kane says:

    So I’ve been dabbling in the woo-woo side of life (I’ve always been a ‘practical’ gal but wanted to see what the crushed velvet, incense, and hippie vibes were all about)- and yesterday asked the universe to give me a clear, undeniable answer to the question ‘am I on the right track with my new business and will it make me the kind of money that will support the lifestyle I have planned for myself?’. I believe I just got the answer loud and f’ing clear- thanks Ash!

    You’re the best hype girl!!!!

  5. ShinyGirl says:

    Hype girl fully activated.
    Universe plugged into my ribcage.
    Lord have mercy.

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 worldβ€”by getting to "go behind closed doors" inside local homes to discover what it's really like to live there.
