This post was sponsored by Art.com We’re big on art gifts in my family. When I was little I’d paint pictures for our whole crew for holiday prezzies, and not much has changed. I still love to give the gift of art. It’s personal, fun and meaningful. I also think no one can ever have too…

Meegan Barnes Booty Ceramics
Meegan Barnes is a Los Angeles based artist and sculptor. Her work is cheeky (pun intended!), fun and empowering. It’s feminine and feminist – a balance of grit and glam. Booty History A trip to South America inspired her signature booty ceramics. She had said goodbye to New York. Despite being creatively stimulated, the go go go…
#FacetheFoliage Fall Fashion Roundup
It finally feels a bit like fall here at Jungalow HQ. The ac is off (most of the time) and we’re enjoying the windows and doors being open. The LA River bike path is lined with fallen eucalyptus leaves and bougie petals. There’s such an abundance of twigs, berries and forageable goodies available. Seriously folks, how can we…
This Just In: Easy to Breathe
There has been disaster upon disaster recently – Hurricanes Harvey + Irma, LA fires, the recent earthquake in Mexico – the news in general really. All of it leaves onlookers and those directly impacted shaken, uneasy and and at times displaced. For Mariana Abaroa, of Easy to Breathe, conscious breathing and clay are her soothing and…
Round Up: Good Vibes For Every Desk
Call it the eclipse, the new moon or a refreshing weekend with friends and family, but we are feeling extra ready to get wild at the studio this week! Whether you’re working from home, at the office, or at school, we’ve rounded up 12 items to bring good (and wild!) vibes to any desk. Quite…
This Just In: Tactile Matter’s Kenesha Sneed
This past month we kicked off our new artist feature series on the JUNGALOW with the amazing multi-disciplinary artist Kenesha Sneed. Before launching four of her beautiful fine art prints on our shop, she came by our studio for an afternoon cocktail & chat, giving us a little insight behind her work for us to…
Pad Peek: All Road’s Janelle Pietrzak’s Sunland Home
We have been fans of Janelle Pietrzak’s beautiful weavings and home textile collections for some time now, and are thrilled that before leaving her Sunland home for the desert she gave us a little home tour. When moving to LA from Philadelphia, Janelle noticed that the change of scenery adjusted their home decor style. East…
Plant Installation Inspiration: Plant the Future
Last month I was in Miami and I got to visit Plant The Future, a design firm and plant shop by Paloma Teppa. Painted stark white, the plant retailer, located in the Wynwood Arts District, feels more like an art gallery than a plant shop. The colors and textures of the plants are artfully…
This Just In: Illustrator Isabelle Feliu
I recently came across (then promptly fell in love with) the work of Oslo-based illustrator Isabelle Feliu. Her works are sensual, current (yet somehow timeless), and relatable in a very chic way. Some of her pieces remind of Picasso — others Botero or Matisse (or a mix of the three)–…
Thank You, Thank You
Last week, in a moment of inspiration after the Women’s March, I decided to sell a print of one of my paintings and donate the proceeds to a good cause. I have never really sold my artwork before and I never (EVER!) could have imagined that together, we’d raise $15,000 for the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles! You…
Women’s March + Limited edition print of ‘In Chorus’
Yesterday I marched with my family and 750,000 other Angelenos in Downtown Los Angeles at the Women’s March. Though I sometimes get overwhelmed in crowds, the tone of the march was so uplifting and calm that I had no freak-out moments. It was a beautiful, powerful day on so many levels. I marched for Mother…
A room with a view (even without windows)
There’s nothing better than a nice, big window with an awesome view in an interior…but that isn’t always possible. Plenty of spaces I’ve lived in throughout my life have had small windows, no windows, or windows with weird/bad views, and while you can sometimes use mirrors to add more natural light to a space and overhead fans to…
This Just In: Alicia Scardetta’s Colorful Weaving
As we poke around around Instagram and other platforms, we come across a lot of cool weavings, but the work of Alicia Scardetta made us stop in our scrolling tracks. The bright colors and combination of techniques really draw you into the work of the Texas born artist, who is now based in Brooklyn. One of…
This Just In: Mark Conlan
Take one look at much of Melbourne based artist Mark Conlan’s work and you know we’re into it. Lush botanical ‘scapes, whimsical people doing their thing, and all that bold color? Yes, please. Mark, who is originally from Dublin, Ireland, worked as a digital designer for many years until finally taking a little leap to…
DIY Sun Print Wall Hanging and Tea Towel
Over the last few years, we’ve had a chance to do Sun Prints with kids a few times (first at Crafting Community, then at an event at Ida’s school), and they were so much fun we figured we should try a more grown up version too! If you’ve never heard of sun printing, it’s a…
This Just In: Sarah K. Benning
Chances are, you’ve seen the work of Sarah K Bennning pop up somewhere on the internet if, like me, you’re into plants and textiles. Probably more than any other artist, I’ve had dozens of people DM me on Instagram to say — “omg look at this Justina — I think you’re going to love this!!” and you…
This Just In: Beech Hall
Beech Hall is a multidisciplinary artist collective founded by Bev Beaulieu, Wade Keller and Danielle Kroll. They met in their dorm, Beech Hall, when they were freshmen at Tyler School of Art. How cute is that? Each one of their collections is based around a theme which allows us freedom to experiment without being tied down to one medium or identity–which I can…
This Just In: Kate Miss
Kate Miss is a graphic designer (katemiss.com) and jewelry maker (jewelry.katemiss.com) here in Los Angeles. I’ve known Kate for quite a few years and have always been drawn to her sensibility–modern and still cozy. Her use of color and shape always manages to feel fresh while also feeling somehow vintage/nostalgic. She recently started a print shop…
Affordable, Original Art with Saatchi Art (and a giveaway!)
This post is sponsored by Saatchi Art. Of all of the things one can purchase for a home, I think that art might be the most personal — the thing that says the most about the person living inside the home. And while I think prints are great, there is most certainly something quite magical about owning…

This Post was created in partnership with Santa Margherita Wines. All summer long we’ve been working on the design of our She Shed with Santa Margherita Wines — and you all have been helping by voting different pieces into the She Shed every week. It’s been fun to watch the She Shed design come to…
