Sometimes, as creative, you feel things. You can see, feel, listen to things that others may not. It is part of the magic and the struggle of creativity to make those things come true in a way that others can see, feel, smell and try them too. For those of you who have legs here for a while, you know that Jungalow is a brand born of a blog. While Jungalow has Bone a digital brand from day one, I have always dreamed of taking Jungalow to the real world (offline). I imagined a space where we could connect as a community and create together, inspire and hug each other (especially after experiencing the isolation of the pandemic). For years, I have the leg in search of a physical location for a Jungalow Irl space. Then, at the end of 2022, I talked to my brother, Shai, who is co -owner or lower bunk, located in Melrose Ave in West Hollywood. I asked him what Bottom Bunk was doing on the second floor (his store is located on the first floor) and said he occasionally interested him for the events. Occasionally, huh? My wheels began to turn! That was the first moment I imagined a jungalow emerging window in Los Angeles, in the “upper bunk” (haha!) Or my brother’s business. We had the first meeting with the other Bottom Bunk co -owners in February, we solved the details in a few weeks and we started the construction in May.
We work with Jeff, Sue and the incredible FTB Design team in construction. FTB has a lot of experience in the design of sets, so they are used for super fast television production schedules and were not intimidated by what we thought it was an ambitious timeline (enters the space on May 15 and completes the construction in early June).
We also work with my sister, Faith Blakeney, who is an incredible interior designer with attention to details like no other! Together, we create mood boards, the color of paint and the elected floors, although through architectural details differentos we could add to the space to give some dimension, and honestly, FTB executed our vision wonderfully! And a fun fact, faith also designed the lower bunk! So it is really a family issue here!
As we are on the second floor, we knew we wanted to attract people as soon as they opened to the emerging one. There is only one bone a few days since we launched, but this case of staircase with our tigris impression (on a larger scale) seems to be a favorite of the social crowd (thank you all for all the love #jungowpopup!).
Can we also talk about thesis stripes? And is this convoluted? Living a little for this light heavenly!
We also asked our sweet owner, Serge of Total Graphics if you could connect with some signaling for the windows. I love seeing our logo on this mass scale.
Another favorite of mine: this incredible unit of screen and shelf that FTB created for us. You all helped create it too! Do you remember when we ask you what terracotta paint color we should go? Clay well baked won by a landslide, but we decided to go with a spicy tone for the interior of the shelf unit to create some depth and visual interest. What do you think?
The emerging space remembers a Loft apartment in Brooklyn where it lived when I was 20 years old, with a super open plant and not a lot of architectural details. So we think it would be great to design the bathroom with a high floor and a vintage pictures to leave it separate from the rest of the space.
This Kohler artifact bathtub in Peachblow, is having the moment of Hem! I recently visited Kohler’s headquarters in Wisconsin and inspired myself to see the beautiful designs and timeless colors in his latest collections. Recently they brought some of their heritage colors (Spring Green & Peachblow) to celebrate its 150th anniversary and I am here for ancient vibrations.
This beautiful pedestal and tap sink are also Kohler and work very well with the checkered floor and the cosmic desert wallpaper. The modern brass finish brushed in the tap speaks so well to the gold accents in the wallpaper. 
Yes girl !!! Show those beautiful feet Lil! 😉
I could move!
He has inspired me in the details of Art Deco and I am making them refer to them in many of my recent designs. This “staggered” detail in the bedroom area is one of my favorite design elements in space. Create a crown effect on the bed. Who is not because not because he feels like a queen in the bedroom?
In our living room, we have books, pillows, candles and much more to discover. It is a brilliant and cozy place to relax and inspire (and curious).
Do you know how when you have people, they always end up in the kitchen? Well, that is true Child or our bar area. Everyone always ends up going through here, probably because he has vibrations! We use our Natural Phoenix wallpaper in this area and FTB build this bar from scratch! We paint in Kale Green and Bay Leaf and, honestly, it’s sexy!
We can’t wait to share this creative space with you this summer! Visit our website or IG for the next emerging events and promotions and hours of operation. We can’t wait to meet you Irl!
