The rooms are alive
The bold, eclectic items feel organic to the design, seamlessly incorporated into the home’s unorthodox aesthetic.
It was love at first sight for Justina Blakeney and the 1930s Spanish-style home she shares with her husband, writer Jason Rosencrantz, and their 11-year-old daughter, Ida.
“I wanted a place to stretch out,” she says of the four-bedroom, three-bath home they bought in 2020 and named Jungalow by the Mountain — “a place to paint, to connect with nature, to swim naked.” Beyond the practical concerns, there was also an emotional connection. “I felt safe to be myself and express myself fully,” she says.
Justina’s vibrant, approachable personality shows up in her many pursuits, including her wildly successful home decor brand, Jungalow, and her lifestyle brand, both of which celebrate creativity, rule breaking, and international influences. She credits her own blended ethnicity for what she calls her “eclectic bohemian vibe” (Justina’s father is African American and Native American, and her mother is of Eastern European descent).

Justina does more than simply design rooms — her goal is to create experiences. When it came to her expansive walk-in dressing room, she wanted “a glam moment.” With a window overlooking the yard and rich, “jungle-icious” wallpaper, the bright, airy space feels more like a chic treehouse than a closet. “I wanted to bring that Beverly Hills Hotel energy,” she says.
