When the lovely Meg Mateo Ilasco, Creative Director of Anthology Magazine approached me about photographing the Jungalow, I’m pretty sure my heart visibly jumped a little bit out of my chest. Anthology is one of my very favorite print magazines and the aesthetic, voice and feel is right up my handmade/thrifty/worldly ally. Issue number 6 debuted last week it was SO much fun to see and read the article (written by editor in chief Anh-Minh Le – who is really f-cking cool BTW) about our little crazy abode. (Not to mention all of the other great home features, DIY projects, adorable graphics etc…)
When Teri Lyn Fisher (photographer) and Britni Wood (stylist) came over one sunny morning this past fall to shoot the Jungalow, I really wasn’t too sure what to expect. I am so used to doing everything on my own–from styling to picture taking etc. that it was at once frightening and exhilarating to have other (albeit super-talented) folks capture my home in the way that they saw it.
Ultimately, everything about the piece–from the written word, to the photos and the styling–does an amazingly good job of telling my story. I am so happy, grateful and honored to be a part of this publication. If you aren’t familiar with Anthology Magazine, check out their site, and then pick or a subscription or snag a copy at West Elm or Anthropologie.

Boy oh boy! I am so excited to see your latest home in detail, J! Your old place in AT’s BBOSCS was always a have so this is bound to be also, especially as I see we both have that lovely Zebra head made by artisans in Haiti. Can’t wait to get my mitts on my copy! :)

Will you ever stop being amazing? I had convinced myself I was through with Anthology Magazine – it’s kind of expensive and hard to find in my area. Most importantly, somehow always felt a little left out when I read it. Your spread just made me feel welcome! Thanks, Justina & Congratulations!!
Justina Blakeney says
