The colorful feast in this ring display case, that I recently made for my sister using a discarded box, can put the infelicities of the week in shadow.
This week my love for color themes led me to the work of a very fertile designer named Justina, whose indefatigable blog postings made me smile. Variously a designer, artisan, and stylist, Justina Blakeney is an expert at playing with colors and forms. Your mood vibrates when looking at her creations and concepts, if not overwhelmed with envy for her winning vividness.

She calls her home a Jungalow and describes it as bringing nature indoors. It’s bohemian and tropical, vintage and cozy. It volcanically highlights creative reuse, bright colors, bold patterns, worldly finds, and plants.
Each click thru on her blog, gallery, and even the gift wrap ideas using leaves on her flickr account echo her imaginative ascendance.
View her Jungalow below, starting with the side table she upcycled using fabric and upholstery tacks. Her talent is hard to reduce.
