UAriel Ashe kwikhaya lakhe lase West Village (Ifoto: Celeste Sloman for Braganca) IPiñon yeyona nto ndiyivumbayo xa ndisehla kwinqwelomoya eNew Mexico, utshilo umyili wezangaphakathi u-Ariel Ashe, wevumba elivela kwikhandlela elinuka kamnandi kwigumbi lakhe lase West Village. Umculo welizwe odlalwe kwigumbi lokulala eligcwele ukukhanya, elinamagumbi okuhombisa oomhlobiso.
Xa uNks Ashe engahambi kwaye eqokelela inkuthazo yokuyilwa kwakhe ngokuqinileyo kunye no-Reinaldo Leandro, u-Ashe + Leandro, udibana naye yonke imihla ngekofu ngaphambi kokuba aye kwigumbi labo elinomtsalane elinamagumbi amabini eSoho studio. Kunqabile ukufumana umyili wezinto ezingaphakathi kunye noyilo njengamaqabane alinganayo, kodwa UNks Ashe, umxube ongaqhelekanga wobuntu ovela kwidolophu encinci eNew Mexico, kunye noMnumzana Leandro, umntu osemtsha osuka eVenezuela, bayancedisana. UNks Ashe wasimemela endlwini yakhe ukuba asixelele indlela ayilele ngayo elona klayenti lakhe, yena ngokwakhe.

Uhleli kule ndlu unyaka, uhlala uhlala edolophini e-NYC? Njalo. Ndiyabuthanda ubumelwane bam-ndikumgangatho wesithathu wesakhiwo esingenayo ilifti kwaye ndiyayithanda. Akukho kujinga! Kukho ukukhanya kwendalo okuninzi kule ndlu kunye nezibane ezintathu.
Ubukhethe njani ubugcisa kunye nokuhombisa? Bendiqokelela izinto okoko ndaqala ukusebenza njengomyili wezinto zangaphakathi ngo-2002. Ezinye iziqwenga ziyala ukwamkelwa kwabathengi-ezinye zizipho ezivela kubenzi befanitshala kwaye iziqwenga ezimbalwa zezomsebenzi wam weenkuni, uRob Pluhowski. Ubugcisa buvela kuyo yonke-kwakhona, izipho, ukuthengwa kunye nokubiwa (kubazali bam).

Unomsebenzi wobugcisa apha. Ngaba unawo umsebenzi owuthandayo wobugcisa? U-Kate Moss obituary ngu-Adam McEwen, oxhonywe ngaphezulu kwendawo yam yomlilo kwigumbi lokuhlala kunye nomzobo omncinci kaMick Jagger nguNikki Katsikas. Zombini ziyangxama kodwa ziyaqaqamba. UAdam McEwen wayengumbhali we-obituary I-Telegraph yemihla ngemihla eLondon ngaphambi kokuba ngumculi. Ndikwanomzobo kaRichard Aldrich ovela kwigalari yaseBortolami, indawo esiyiyile kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo.
Usondele njani kuyilo lendlu yakho ngokuchasene neyomthengi? Ngendlela efanayo. Ndicinge ngoyilo olulungileyo kum, ndakhetha umbala wombala, ndamisa uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali ndasebenza. Senze ngaphezulu kwamafulethi angama-40 eNew York ngoko ndiye ndaqhelisela kakhulu.

Uhamba rhoqo. Ngaba loo nto iyimfuneko njengomyili wezinto ezingaphakathi? Ewe. Unokufumana inkuthazo eninzi kwiimagazini nakwiPinterest. Ukusuka kwihammock eNicaragua ukuya kumgangatho wethayile kunxweme lweAmalfi, ndithatha amawaka eefoto nge-iPhone yam.
Zithini izixeko ezimbalwa ofumana kuzo inkuthazo? ERoma, eSanta Fe, eNew York. Ndiyazithanda iindawo ezinembali eyomeleleyo kunye nenkcubeko. Ngenkcubeko kuza uyilo olukhulu kunye nokutya okumnandi.

Yintoni eyenza ikhaya laseNew York? Isikakhulu abantu. Udadewethu nobhuti wam bahlala apha. Umsebenzi wam ulapha. Nangona kunjalo, ndisajonga ikhaya laseNew Mexico. Ndiqala iprojekthi ePlacitas, N.M., notata wam ongumakhi. Isidiliya seMartha likhaya lam ehlotyeni.
Zeziphi ezona zinto zixabisekileyo ekhayeni lakho? Izinto ndizithathile endlwini yabazali bam. Iseti yesaphetha kunye notolo, umbhoxo weNavajo, ipeyinti yeoyile kwigumbi lam lokulala kunye nepinki AmaMusketeers amathathu incwadi.

Ngaba unayo indawo oyithandayo ekhayeni lakho? Igumbi lam lokulala liyamangalisa. Udadewethu wayicwangcisela umhla endafudukela kuwo kwaye ndiza kuwuhlengahlengisa. Umhlobo osefashonini wayehlala apha phambi kwam kwaye ikhabhathi yayindoyikisa ekuqaleni. Khange ndikwazi ukugcwalisa isiqingatha sayo kodwa bendisebenza kulonto…
Ngaba unayo ingcebiso malunga nabanqwenela ukuyila izinto zangaphakathi? Sebenza nzima: Akukho nto ikunqandayo! Ngaphakathi, ncedisa kwaye uhlala usenza okungaphezulu kokucelwe kuwe. Bona ubugcisa. Ukuhamba. Funda iincwadi. Sebenzisa konke oku ukwenza isitayile. Musa ukucela ukuhamba kwangethuba.
