Jungalow Pop Up – The Making of…

Sometimes, arsenic a creative, you consciousness things. You tin see, feel, perceive things that others whitethorn not. It’s portion of the magic and the conflict of creativity to bring those things into world successful a mode that others tin see, feel, hear, smell, and sensation them too. For those of you who person been present for a while, you cognize that Jungalow is simply a marque calved from a blog. While Jungalow has been a digital-first marque from time one, I’ve ever dreamt of bringing Jungalow into the existent (offline) world.  I imagined a abstraction wherever we could link arsenic a assemblage and make together, animate 1 another, and hug each different (especially aft experiencing the isolation of the pandemic). For years, I person been connected the lookout for a carnal determination for a Jungalow IRL space. Then, successful precocious 2022, I talked to my brother, Shai, who is simply a co-owner of Bottom Bunk, located connected Melrose Ave successful West Hollywood. I asked him what Bottom Bunk was doing connected the 2nd level (their store is located connected the archetypal floor) and helium said they occasionally rented it retired for events. Occasionally, huh? My wheels started turning! That was the archetypal infinitesimal I envisioned a Jungalow Pop Up successful Los Angeles, connected the “top bunk” (haha!) of my brother’s business. We had our archetypal gathering with the different co-owners of Bottom Bunk successful February, ironed retired the details successful a fewer weeks, and started operation successful May!

We worked with Jeff, Sue, and the unthinkable squad astatine FTB Design connected the physique out. FTB has a batch of acquisition successful acceptable design, truthful they are utilized to ace speedy TV accumulation schedules and weren’t intimidated by what we thought was an ambitious timeline (get successful the abstraction connected May 15 and implicit operation by aboriginal June).

We besides worked with my sister, Faith Blakeney, who is an unthinkable interior decorator with an attraction to item similar nary other! Together, we created temper boards, picked overgarment colors and flooring, thought done antithetic architectural details we could adhd to the abstraction to springiness it immoderate dimension, and honestly, FTB executed our imaginativeness beautifully! And amusive fact, Faith besides designed Bottom Bunk!!! So it’s truly a household matter implicit here!

Since we are connected the 2nd floor, we knew we wanted to gully folks successful arsenic soon arsenic they opened the doorway to the popular up. It’s lone been a fewer days since we launched, but this step lawsuit featuring our Tigris people (in a larger scale) seems to beryllium a assemblage favourite connected societal (thank you to everyone for each the #jungalowpopup love!!!).

Also tin we speech astir these stripes? And this trellis?! Kinda surviving for this heavenly latticed airy moment!!

We besides asked our saccharine landlord, Serge of Total Graphics if helium could hook america up with immoderate signage for the windows. Love seeing the our logo successful this monolithic standard peek done the windows astatine the popular up.

Another favourite of mine: this unthinkable show and shelving portion that FTB created for us. You each helped to make it too! Remember when we asked you which terracotta overgarment colour we should spell with? Well Baked Clay won by a landslide, but we decided to spell with Spicy Hue for the wrong of the shelving portion to make immoderate extent and ocular interest. What bash you think?

The popular up abstraction is reminiscent of a loft flat successful Brooklyn that I lived successful erstwhile I was successful my 20s — with a ace unfastened level program and not a ton of architectural detail. So we thought it would beryllium chill to plan the bath with an elevated floor, and vintage checkered flooring to acceptable it isolated from the remainder of the space.

This Kohler Artifacts bathtub successful Peachblow, is having her moment!! I precocious visited the Kohler office successful Wisconsin and I was SO inspired seeing the beautiful, timeless designs and colors successful their latest collections. They precocious brought backmost immoderate of their practice colors (Spring Green & Peachblow) to observe their 150th day and I americium present for the vintage vibes!

This gorgeous pedestal sink and faucet are besides from Kohler and enactment truthful good with the checkered level and cosmic godforsaken wallpaper. The brushed modern brass decorativeness connected the faucet speaks truthful beautifully to the golden accents successful the wallpaper. 

Yes, girl!!! Show disconnected those cute lil feet! ;)

I mightiness conscionable determination in!!!!!

I person been inspired by creation deco details lately and find myself referencing them successful a batch of my caller designs. This “stepped” item successful the chamber country is 1 of my favourite plan elements successful the space. It creates a crown-like effect implicit the bed. Who doesn’t privation to consciousness similar a queen successful her bedroom?

In our lounge area, we person books, pillows, candles, and truthful overmuch much to discover. It’s a bright, cozy spot to chill and beryllium inspired (and curious).

You cognize however erstwhile you person radical over, they ever extremity up successful the kitchen? Well, that’s kinda existent of our barroom area. Everyone ever ends up hanging retired astir present – astir apt due to the fact that it’s got the vibes!!! We utilized our Phoenix Naturale wallpaper successful this country and FTB built this barroom from scratch!! We painted successful Kale Green and Bay Leaf and honestly, it’s sexy AF!
