Jungalow by the Mountain in Architectural Digest
To quote a favorite song of the moment “Ask for what I want and somehow, it find me!!” I can’t believe I’m typing these words but I AM ON THE COVER OF ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST!!! Holy guacamole. I couldn’t imagine a more exciting way to share our new home, #JungalowByTheMountain with all of you — than…
Jungalow By The Mountain Pool Renovation
This is the story of a pool transformation. But, I want to start off by saying that the “before” photos of this pool are not some wretched hole-in-the-ground swampy “before” photos that make the “after” photos all the more enticing. The “before” photos of this pool are, in my opinion, really beautiful. In fact, the…
I love Paper
This post is sponsored by the Paper & Packaging – How Life Unfolds® campaign uncovering how my life is #PoweredByPaper. When I first started my business, my main gig was graphic design and blogging. I designed logos, business cards, websites and packaging for small businesses, and started the blog to chronicle my creative inspirations and…
Behind the Design: Justina Blakeney X Granada Tile
It’s no secret how obsessed with tile I am. I’ve made tile the centerpiece of every major renovation I’ve done in the past five years. I’ve always dreamt of designing my own tile, and recently that dream became a reality when I connected with Granada Tile to create a custom tile design for my Casita….
Backyard Progress Report
Last time I did a backyard update it was late April. The outdoor shower, tile, pavers and jacuzzi had just been installed. Over the summer we’ve been honing in and working on the design and flow of the yard, and I’m always very happy to report that we’ve been really using it, and living that…
Announcing our new Justina Blakeney Home Wallpaper Collection!
Hello Jungalistas! I am so thrilled to announced our latest launch, a new collection of wallpapers! As y’all know, my style is wild and is all about injecting color, pattern, and life into the home, and I think that wallpaper is one of the best ways to do that. About repeating patterns I first learned…
A modern boho jungle nursery for baby Chase
When I found out that my long-time friend and agent, Kim, was expecting a little one, I secretly hoped she’d ask me to help out with their nursery. She reps a lot of amazing designers so I didn’t want to be presumptuous, but was super excited to dive in when she did ask! Kim told me…
How we Melded Indoors and Outdoors in our #CasitaJungalow
This post is sponsored by Home Depot Five months ago we embarked on a mission meld the indoors and outdoors in our home and transform our garage into what would soon become our #CasitaJungalow. Our home is a Spanish-style bungalow built in 1926 and it’s pretty small (about 1050 sq. ft.). Our garage is located…
40 lessons for 40 years
I celebrated my 40th birthday over the weekend. This was a big one for me. I had been ‘practicing’ telling people I’m forty for about three years leading up to this birthday to help me feel more prepared for it. Now that I’m on the other side, I thought to write down some of the…
Black Friday Sale at JUNGALOW!
Hey Jungalistas! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are catching up on some much needed R+R after a crazy few weeks!! We had a fun Thanksgiving last night at my parents’ new condo. I can’t believe they squeezed 30 of us in for dinner! It was pretty epic. In case you haven’t…
New Jungalow by Justina Blakeney fabrics
With my passion for color, pattern and texture, it should come as no surprise that I’m totally crazy for textiles. Having the opportunity to design my own line of Jungalow by Justina Blakeney fabrics has been a dream of mine for what feels like forever — but could probably be traced back to my first sewing…
My parents’ condo makeover — Before and After
This post was created in partnership with Wayfair. My parents recently moved into an old condo that has been in our family for 40 years. It was long overdue for a condo makeover. My great-grandmother Ida lived there for many years — I have really fond memories of visiting her and my Papa Si at the condo…
New Justina Blakeney Stationery, Calendars and Gift items are here!
When I was 28, I moved to New York City after living in Italy for seven years. The rhythms in New York were very intense, and basically a total 180 from what I had been used to in Italy (2 hour daily siesta anyone?). I learned very quickly that in order to make ends meet,…
Our New Inside Out Performance Fabrics
Blurring the lines between inside and outside is one of my very favorite things, which is one reasons why I’m EXTRA excited about my latest design endeavor, a collection of Inside Out Performance Fabrics that can live indoors and out, that are bursting with color, texture and whimsicality (which is pretty hard to find in…
Justina Blakeney X Tiny Prints
My designs can be wowed out. I get it. I scare people sometimes. Not every big company is gonna let me to totally be myself and go wild. So that’s why when Tiny Prints approached me about doing a collection and said I could really just “do my thing” I was (VERY!!) excited and…
Thanks for coming!
Last week we had The New Bohemians Handbook launch party and book signing at Living Spaces in Van Nuys and I even get a bit emotional thinking about it because it was SUCH a lovely evening and a really kind of a pinnacle moment for me in my career thus far. Friends and family came…
Justina Blakeney™ X Living Spaces
I’m seriously over-the-moon to announce our new Justina Blakeney™ X Living Spaces Collections!! Social media is so incredible, not just for the new-found way of sharing with the world–but also for the new-found way of listening. Throughout these last eight years of blogging, I’ve been doing a whole lot of both — but one of…
What my home REALLY looks like most of the time…
I was feeling inspired by the host of women on Instagram I’ve been seeing who have been showing themselves unfiltered and un-photoshopped, un-styled and just raw and real–stretch marks and all. I thought it was about time I bared all as well — of my home this time though. I just walked around my house…
