Your Hosts

Ashley Stiles is a good time Charlie, with a knack for creating what seems to be impossible, possible. She is a lover of all things and swears she was born in the Elizabethan era, for her innate love of bellowing popped neck collars and Rococo crystal chandeliers.

For over 15 years, Ashley was an estate manager/personal assistant to HNW celebrities and families. There, she was able to hone in her love for travel, interior design, construction and extravagant entertaining.

Ashley is the founder and owner of House of Stiles, a design/build boutique company, based in the Seattle area. House of Stiles inspires purposeful design with unmatched attention to detail.

Both she and Sara created this endeavor together and if they could both run away forever and just do this, they would.

Sara is the owner and curator of SaraFound, sourcing and selling vintage and eclectic home décor for interesting spaces in the Chicagoland area. With nearly a decade of experience in the world of vintage, Sara has an eye for the unique, the incredible, and even the weird. The older the better. She fell in love with Paris at 20 years old while doing the city cheap and dirty (like a young lady should), and going back through the years a more mature person with admittedly better taste (in both design and other equally as important life choices).

Aaron calls Seattle home after moving from Southern California in 2011. An extensive background in Film/Television and Event Planning and Management has created an unquenchable passion for travel and a constant hunt for the next destination to stamp in his passport. Aaron loves to cook and bake, make people laugh with the perfect pun, and be on-time at least 93% of the time.

A Pacific Northwest native and world traveler, Jessi is no stranger to event management, she has been designing intentional macro/micro moments of mindfulness for over ten years at conferences, retreats and in her daily life.

We are lucky that she moonlights as a Reiki Practitioner, Intuitive Energy Alchemist, and Tarot & Oracle Enthusiast.

You are bound to go home with more than antiques - because she will fill your heart with warmth and a spark of wonder.
