A collection of Transformation: Our latest Opalhouse designed with Jungalow Collection
Welcome to our Spring Opalhouse Designed with Jungalow collection available exclusively at Target. I designed this collection during a period of transition in my life. A time characterized by the caterpillars’ metamorphosis into the butterfly. This was a time when I began to work towards widening the aperture of my lens on life and learning to…
Barbie Dreamhouse but make it Jungalow
As a child, I used to build worlds for my Barbies. I’d spend endless hours with my sister, Faith, crafting intricate realms, stitching tiny garments from vibrant fabrics, and fashioning furniture from corks, toothpicks, and bottle caps! Early experiences like these introduced me to the magic of design and inspired me to become a designer and artist….
Opalhouse Designed with Jungalow Fall Drop!
We’ve had some interesting weather here in Los Angeles this summer (a hurricane AND an earthquake on the same day, then some drizzle and the pinkest sky I’ve ever seen, punctuated by a rainbow!!). As we slip into September, it feels like change is in the air. The leaves are going from cool tones to…
Justina Blakeney x Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival!
The Hollywood Bowl is probably one of my favorite places in Los Angeles – music, nature, creativity swirling in the open air under the stars – who wouldn’t love it?! You can imagine how over the moon I was when the Hollywood Bowl asked me to design the merch for the 2023 Jazz Festival!!! This…

For our latest Opalhouse designed with Jungalow collection, I wanted to bring…
A season of painting
Now that we’re settled in our new home, I finally have been painting again. For years I had been painting on small pieces of paper from our dining room table — I didn’t feel I had enough space to add an easel and larger canvases into the mix. But now I have the space for…

Before and After – Laundry Room Makeover
I believe that tedious tasks can be made more enjoyable if they take place in a beautiful environment, and I tackled the design of our new laundry room with this in mind. The laundry area at #JungalowByTheMountain was relatively spacious and perfectly functional but entirely lacking in personality and vibes — making the chore of…

Crayons are underrated
Maybe because they’re the art supplies of choice for toddlers at restaurants, or maybe it’s because at $6 for 100 colors, they’re so affordable, but after I played around with Ida’s crayons this week, I feel like they are totally underrated! I love the textures from the crayons on this cold-pressed watercolor paper. It gives…
Behind the Design: Our Natural Dyed Quilts and Throws
Almost two years ago, just before the world shut down, my family and I went on a trip to Rajasthan, India. (Read more about our trip here). While there, we visited factories and creative studios and one of my favorite stops was at a new natural dye studio. There was a small garden in…

Jungalow: Decorate Wild — our new book is here!
I remember when I got back to the U.S. after living in Italy for seven years, and people often asked me “how my trip was.” I never figured out how to sum up seven years of my life in a quick, conversational way, so, I usually just ended up responding, “great!”. Well, writing this blog…
