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 take in and notice alternative viewpoints. So, I named this collection “Bird’s Eye View” to symbolize different ways of seeing. The hero pattern in this collection is actually called “Butterfleyes” which depicts alternating butterflies and eyes and ..read more

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. So you can imagine how excited I was when @BarbieStyle  reached out about what sounded like a dream collab: Jungalow designing a room in Barbie’s dreamhouse !!!

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 warm reds, oranges, and even pinks. It’s a time when Mother Nature shows off her versatility, so it seems like the perfect time to share that our latest Opalhouse Designed with Jungalow collection has arrived! This collection was inspired by the changing seasons. We included nods to the wind ..read more

WE DID IT!! The Jungalow Pop Up has officially launched! It’s only been a few weeks but we are already feeling the love and community vibes. We got a DM from someone who was at Target talking about how much they love Jungalow, when someone else in the aisle told them that we have a pop up shop now! And they came in to the pop up that same day!! This is exactly the off-screen connection we were craving when we decided to launch the pop up. Connection, community, and lots of creativity – these are all the intentions we held in our hearts when we built the pop up. It was a dream come true to sha ..read more

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 was a dream collaboration. I was so inspired that I immediately started sketching with a black sharpie. Even though I never shy away from color, I wanted to first conceptualize the designs in black and white to see what I was attracted to graphically. I wanted to include elements that represented the mus ..read more

Jungalow Pop Up – The Making of…

Sometimes, as a creative, you sense things. You can see, feel, hear things that others may not. It’s part of the magic and the struggle of creativity to bring those things into reality in a way that others can see, feel, hear, smell, and taste them too. For those of you who have been here for a while, you know that Jungalow is a brand born from a blog. While Jungalow has been a digital-first brand from day one, I’ve always dreamt of bringing Jungalow into the real (offline) world.  I imagined a space where we could connect as a community and create together, inspire one another, and hug ..read more

Spring is around the corner and I’m here for it! For me, spring symbolizes growth, optimism, and possibility: the dormant trees are starting to blossom, the days are getting longer now that winter is behind us, and everything is more vibrant and alive! For our latest Opalhouse designed with Jungalow collection, I wanted to bring that same energy into all the designs. This collection is packed with bold color, botanical motifs, and playful patterns. The inspiration behind this drop was “an artist’s loft” so you’ll see a lot of my original art sprinkled about in a bright, airy space we think any ..read more

A week on Ohau

View from the Waimea Falls Park & Botanical Gardens I just got back from a vacation on Oahu with family. We spent the week on the beaches on  the North Shore, hiking up wild hills, eating from food trucks, playing games and decompressing. We even tried surfing for the first time.  It was a very mellow trip and great to reconnect with nature and spend some quality time with people that I love. Below, some snaps from our walks through the Waimea Falls Park & Botanical Gardens and a long hike we took. I am a *very* slow hiker, and while I hike I enjoy making frequent stops ..read more

Before and After – Laundry Room Makeover

by Justina Blakeney
2y ago
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 doing laundry feel like just that — a chore. I wanted to inject a heavy dose of color and pattern into the space so that the laundry room might feel like a place I might acutally want to be in, like, say, a like a boutique hotel for dirty clothes. Hehe. A laundr ..read more
