Azusa Sakamoto's Unique All-Pink Home: The Abode of a Barb

Having a passion for something often leads people to go to great lengths to indulge in their interests. Azusa Sakamoto, a 36-year-old Japanese descendant living in Los Angeles, has spent approximately $70,000 over 20 years to nurture her obsession with Barbie. For her, the beautiful Barbie doll is an idol and a source of inspiration.

She not only owns 140 Barbie dolls but also dresses up like Barbie every day. Her living space is designed entirely in shades of pink, resembling a Barbie dream house. It's not just the furniture; even her shoes, bags, and knick-knacks fill every corner of her home.

Azusa, who works as a nail expert, isn't obsessed with becoming a real-life Barbie but rather has a deep affection for the Barbie brand. She also enjoys being called Barbie. Her fascination with Barbie began at the age of 15 when she bought a Barbie lunchbox.

Her studio-sized home is meticulously designed, with each corner serving multiple purposes. Inside, there's a bed adjacent to the living area, all in various shades of pink, ranging from bright to pastel. The bedroom area also benefits from ample natural light, thanks to windows on both sides of the room.

Adjacent to the sleeping area, you'll find her workspace and kitchen. The room is separated by shelving cabinets so that visitors entering her home won't immediately see the bedroom. Her workspace is where Azusa experiments with nail art.

The kitchen area is adorned with various Barbie-themed items. Even her refrigerator is decorated with bright pink Barbie lettering. Hanging shelves in the kitchen are in different shades of pink, adding depth and preventing monotony. White accents tie the room together and serve as neutral tones.

In this room, there are also display shelves for her collection of Barbie dolls. Her handbags are stored on racks that not only function as storage but also enhance the room's aesthetics. This area becomes the focal point of the entire room.

Even her bathroom follows the Barbie theme with red accents and Barbie stickers covering the walls. Photos and picture frames featuring Barbie adorn the entire bathroom. These images not only serve as decorations but also inspire Azusa in her daily life.

Barbie-themed stickers can be found throughout her home. If Azusa couldn't find furniture with the Barbie logo, she would affix Barbie stickers to pink furniture. It's a unique and captivating space.
