In case you missed it earlier this week, we announced a new Jenny’s Print Shop print, SEVEN MAGIC MOUNTAINS! This is such a fun print and it’s a great way to inject a tiny amount of color into your space!

We have been scouring the internet for cute lighting options for the Gentry Project and we stumbled on these sconces. How cute are they?!? And would you believe they are only $15 a piece?! We are loving all of these fun colors!!!

We use a lot of air plants in our designs and they aren’t always easy to find locally. We buy them from this etsy shop all the time and it’s a great option if you want some super unique air plants without having to hunt them down! Here are some of our favorites..

Have you seen the trailer for the new movie Home Again? As soon as I heard it was a Nancy Meyers film, I knew it would be amazing. She also directed The Holiday, Something’s Gotta Give, and It’s Complicated – all of which were completely stunning. And I’m not going to lie, the idea of sitting in a cold, dark theatre with popcorn and milk duds for two hours looking at scenes like these, could not be better sounding. Why is it that short weeks are so hard?! Just me?

HAPPY FRIDAY FRIENDS!!!! At least the weekend is here a little sooner. :) See you on the flip side.

Things are really coming together down at the studio! We really wanted a beautiful and cozy area to welcome people who are visiting the space. Once we open up for retail, this space will change, but for now we are loving having a more casual and comfortable place to hang out when friends and colleagues stop by.

Do you spy the newest Jenny’s Print Shop print here?! When our team went to Las Vegas Market we made a little detour to go see the Seven Magic Mountains on our way home. It’s an art installation out in the middle of the desert that’s basically a few very tall stacks of boulders painted in different shades of super poppy colors. I was excited to see them in person and I have to admit it was even cooler than I expected it to be. The way the colors pop off the desert backdrop and the big open sky – it was actually breathtaking. It’s fun having a reminder of our team trip with this new print hanging in our studio!

Can you believe this wood and metal desk is only $100?! It also has a charging station built in, which is super awesome and would be great in an entry styled as a console table like we have it here. It is the perfect size for using a bench or pair of stools underneath. (PS We got those cute pink kilim stools for $39 from an Etsy seller that seems to have ghosted the internet this week?? We’ll let you know if they come back online!)

We also picked up this moroccan style rug for our sitting area. It is so, so beautiful in person and IT WAS UNDER $200 FOR AN 8X10!!!! (yes, that was me shouting. This rug is all-caps good, guys!). It looks like it’s sold out most everywhere online in the 8×10, probably because of the Labor Day sales, but that has happened before and it will for sure get restocked soon.  There is also a gray background version that looks like it would be amazing!

Some of you saw on my stories the other day that there is a new Pottery Barn Outlet in Phoenix. I picked up a great pair of leather chairs and this gorgeous bench cushion Carlisle sofa. It is SUPER comfortable and I while got a great deal on it at the outlet, I have to say I think it would be worth the purchase, even at full price. Though, if you’re looking for a sofa that’s more budget-friendly, this one caught my eye and the reviews are great!

We got a pair of these green chairs from Urban and I think they’re super cute. While I wouldn’t describe them as loungey, they make perfect accent chairs and are great for a sitting room. I especially love the snaps on the side! :)

A lot of you have asked about framing options, and Framebridge is one of the best options if you want a no hassle, custom look. All you have to do is upload your digital print to their site and then pick the size and style of frame you like. They are offering first time customers 15% off their order when you use the code JENNYSPRINT15!

I’m still playing catch up on posting about the projects we’ve finished months and months ago! I’m sure you’ve already seen Jordan’s post about Oh Happy Day’s new studio space in San Francisco. Their studio was already a beautiful and playful space and we were lucky to be able to help Jordan design the sitting area.

Jordan loves pattern and color and we were sure to add lots of both in this small space!

We got this giant striped rug from Serena and Lily (it’s only available in yellow now, but here is a similar version) and I think it makes for a great foundation! It’s busy, but not too crazy or too dark. I think I want to snag one for the Gentry master bedroom. Continue reading “Oh Happy Day Studio”

Happy Friday!!! Another week in the books!

We have four beautiful new prints in Jenny’s Print Shop today! So many of you have loved using the BUY TWO GET ONE FREE code that we’ve felt bad about retiring it, but we have decided that THIS Sunday will for sure be the last day! So grab your free prints while you can!

ALSO! This will be the last few days that all the prints are just $15. In order to bring more great artist collaborations to the shop, the new price for just the artist’s prints will be $20. All of my original images will of course stay at $15! We plan to continue to this schedule of adding and retiring prints every other week so that things stay fresh! So if you’re an artist and you would like to collaborate, email us! And if you have any requests for subjects or styles, please leave us a comment here or on the JPS Insta feed! We’re getting a lot of requests for more East Coast style images. I think one of our new prints, CAPE, fits that bill perfectly, but we will also have some pine tree images coming up in the next release so stay tuned! :)

Did you happen to see that West Elm is having a super huge sale??! The sale is TODAY ONLY and there are some seriously amazing deals right now. We are trying to finish up furnishing the studio and I had just placed a huge order last night to wake up to see all the things I had just bought were on crazy extra sale!! I was ticked! HA!  Don’t worry though, I was the annoying customer that called and asked for a price adjustment. They gave me more than $500 back (our order was really big!) and it was worth losing a little bit of my personal honor. I think?

Here are some of the things we ordered –

buffet  //  vase  //  linen chair  //  nightstand

leather chair  //  dresser  //  sofa  //  table 

desk chair  //  hairpin table  //  leather chair  //  marble coffee table

One of the girls that works for me, Kayla, recently shared with me one of her new favorite IG follows and now we are both obsessed! Do you follow Oh Farmhouse? They are documenting their modern farmhouse home project and I can’t even HANDLE the beauty of their kitchen that is beginning to wrap up! SOOO GOOD.

________________________________________

These sandals are one of my absolute favorite pairs and they are SO comfortable!! I especially love the little details on the side. They are on sale right now and I’m thinking about picking up another pair in a different color because I love them so much!

Also, how cute is this buffalo check rug? We got it for the studio and now the whole team is trying to come up with a place they could put it in their houses! It’s super affordable.

While we were at the Las Vegas Market we totally fell in love with the Aesthetic Movement store. It is such a beautifully curated store and we keep looking back to these images as inspiration for the studio. We love their whole aesthetic!!

This whole space has us dreaming up ways we could incorporate some black walls into our space! I especially love the color blocked chair rail. And check out how they switched which color was on top and bottom in each other spaces. So cool.

Speaking of the studio! The kitchenette area is ALMOST done and ready to share. G3 Glass and Granite is fabricating our beautiful honed Calacatta marble remnant for our counter top and after that. the backsplash will be going up and we will be DONE (well, with that area at least). I can’t wait to see everything come together! I can’t get this brass schluter as grout idea out of my mind and I think we’re going to try for something very similar in here. It’s a small kitchenette and I think it can handle some drama! :)

That’s it for us this week! Have a great weekend and don’t forget to snag your third print for free before the code expires Sunday! :) xo

This post will probably be a somewhat controversial post for some people, but today we are talking faux plants!! Yup, that includes fiddle leaf fig trees, branches and succulents alike! Of course we would ALWAYS prefer the real thing, but sometimes the circumstance just demands you use fake. Dark living room corner that is begging for some greenery, but doesn’t get any natural light?? Go faux. Hard to reach shelving that makes it too inconvenient to water? Go faux. Do you simply have a case of “black thumb”? GO FAUX!!

We used two of the fiddle leaf fig trees in our orthodontist project and they look really great in the space and other than dusting are completely maintenance-free! (Although we selected these before we knew about our miracle plant food!) :) Our tip for making faux trees look more natural is proper “planting”. I recommend placing the entire pot it came in into a larger planter or basket and covering it with either white landscape rock (available at hardware stores for about $5 for a large bag!) or dirt and moss. This will help make it look as realistic as possible. Check out last weeks post on using baskets as planters for some ideas!

Alright! Hit us with your comments and questions here! Would you use faux plants in your house? Do you have some that you love that you think we should know about?

PS We are working on developing our own line of super-realistic looking faux plants and trees! I’ve got succulents and eucalyptus on the list. What else would you like to see? :)

You guys are always asking for tips on how to style pillows on a sofa! While there aren’t any set rules when it comes to pillow styling (and there’s a good case to be made for mixing things up regularly!), I have noticed a couple of rules I sort of fall back on.

sofa  //  coffee table  //  black lamp  //  side table //  rug 

I usually start by pulling my color palette from something else in the room. In this case, I used the rug to help guide which colors I would use for my pillows. Don’t be too literal here! The colors don’t have to be, and really shouldn’t be, exact. They should just sort of help the eye to move around and connect with other elements of the space.

For a larger sofa, I try to start with one or two basically solid pillows, one with a subtle pattern or texture in a smaller scale, and one or two with a bold color and pattern in a larger scale.

I also think it’s a good idea to group pillows in odd numbers. Two on each side or one on each side feels off to my eye.

Some of you followed along on my stories when we were styling this room. Here’s the progression of pillow styling!

I started with two large pillows on either end of the sofa as my base. These should be 22″ or 24″ square. I usually save 26″ pillows (which is the size of a Euro sham) for bed styling. Though if you have a REALLY big, deep sofa you can use this size without it looking weird. You will want to put your darkest color or solid pieces in the corners. This will help anchor the other pillows.

Once you’ve got your base, you will want to layer in two more smaller pillows on top. These should be around 20×20.  They don’t need to be the exact same size or shape as each other. The more color and texture, the better!

Taking photos of your styling work is a great tip. Sometimes looking at a room on a screen helps your eye to see what colors you need to add or take away. My team laughs at me because I’m constantly just looking at our spaces using my phone as a filter for my eyes! It helps SO much though! :)

Lastly, you will want to add in a lumbar pillow to mix up the shapes. This is a really great place to add in a pop of color or a crazy pattern.

Here’s what we landed on and I love the mix! What are your best pillow styling tips? I would also add that I almost ALWAYS go up a size on my down inserts so they are extra, extra fluffy! These down inserts are my go-to because they are very affordable and twice as full as the IKEA ones!

Happy Friday! We’re a little late getting this post up (busy day!) but we’re really trying our best to stick to the posting schedule! Our goal is to have at least three or four posts up a week and a Love Notes post up every Friday. This one’s coming in just under the wire, but I’ll count it as a success! :)

First up, did you see Emily Henderson’s dorm inspired post? We were so excited to see some Jenny’s Print Shop prints featured in her collage wall! I love what Emily and her team did here! The post is full of great tips if you are heading off to college, or if you are just trying to channel your inner 18 year old :). How many Print Shop prints can you spot?

Speaking of the shop, this week are are retiring four more prints to make room for four new prints that will hit the shop next Friday. Some of you have seen the sneak peeks on my stories and you know they are going to be good!! :)

We’ll be saying goodbye for good to Prickly Pear, Lines, Carnival and BQE and you know what that means – they’ve all been dropped to $8 in the shop. Grab ’em before they’re gone for good! Some people have mentioned that they buy the download even if they don’t have a current place for the print, just so they can have the option to print down the road.

PRICKLY PEAR

LINES

CARNIVAL

BQE

I also wanted to mention that Michael’s is running a sale on frames right now and everyone’s favorite 24×36 inch frames are only $16 instead of $50! If you use Kinkos or Staples to get an Engineer Print for about $6, you are getting yourself a HUGE piece of art for not a lot of money! I think BQE and ANN STREET and both of Lynne’s floral abstracts look especially amazing as Engineer Prints.

Lots of you have DMed me to ask about my eye makeup when I do Stories so I thought I’d post the products and routine for you here. I am all about cheap makeup that you can get at Target (except for my expensive-but-worth-it sunscreen foundation). I also need my makeup routine to be fast – like five minutes max start to finish. I’ve used this exact same covergirl eyeliner and mascara since high school! I just put eyeliner (Espresso color) on my top lash line and then use a small brush to soften and smudge the line. And then I run that same brush (that now has some of the eyeliner makeup on it) along my lower lash line. Two coats of mascara in brown-black (not the waterproof kind), AND THAT’S IT. So, so easy. It lasts all day but comes off easily at night. I tried switching to fancy makeup at one point and I feel like the $45 eyeliner was melting off my face by 2pm, so I ran back to my CG with open arms. :)

Speaking of DMs on Instagram! I got approximately 34,276 messages this week that Shea McGee and I were wearing the same top on the same day on Stories. We both were cracking up at how many people were letting us know. :) It IS a cute shirt though, right!?

I got a new bag too when I bought the top and I’m OBSESSED with the color of the leather! It is the perfect size and has the cutest double drawstrings on either side that make the bag super easy to access. I think it’s going to be a great bag for fall!

Gentry Project update!!! The wood floors are going in TODAY and everything is starting to look so good! The next two or three weeks are going to get real exciting! :)

We have started buying stuff for staging the house and grabbed two of these gorgeous marble side tables that are on sale right now! The metal base is obviously amazing and the top is a really pretty marble! But I especially love the top is a generous size. You can easily fit a table lamp, small vase or planter and a stack of books. It’s an amazing deal for under $100!

And this it for us this week, friends! I hope you’re loving the Love Notes posts as much as we are. Any special requests for us?

We recently got this amazing, MASSIVE fiddle leaf fig tree for the studio at a local nursery. I knew we wanted to use a basket for the planter because I love the texture and baskets are so much more affordable than huge planters.  If you’re looking for a fun and simple craft project to liven up your basket planter or to drape on your mantle or tree around the holidays, today’s tutorial is just for you!

picture ledge  //  BEACH DAY print  //  FERRIS print

We bought a pack of these tassels and a pack of these as well. It was nice to mix the two sets for variation in size and color. They’re affordable and you’ll have enough to make quite a few of these little tassel garlands!

34 piece tassels

16 piece tassels

You will also need a ball of yarn and yarn needles. We used a cream color, but feel free to use any color you’d like!

yarn needles  //  yarn

Start by laying out your tassels to get the color combination you’d like. This will make it so much easier when you go to start assembling them! I recommend using about 5-10 tassels per bunch, but you can adjust the amount based on the size of your basket.

Next, you will want to cut about a 2ft piece of yarn. Tie a knot at one end and then thread your yarn needle onto the other end.

Thread your first tassel onto your yarn and then tie a knot to keep it in place. Continue on as you work your way through the tassels you picked out. You will want to separate them by about 1/2 inch, tying a knot to secure each one. If you want the tassels to be a little more sparse, you can space them out more. Just be consistent about your spacing!

When you finish, they should look like this! Now just pick them up by the top knot and they should all just fall naturally into place!

Next up is the pom poms. These are super fun and simple to make! We are already dreaming up other ways we can incorporate these into our homes. (A Christmas tree garland is FOR SURE in the works this year!)

We used this super thick yarn to give them a really full texture. You can use a regular yarn, but the pom poms won’t turn out quite as fluffy.

thick yarn

We already had some of these super cool pom pom makers, but we were able to find a few similar versions online. These things are the best! It might take one or two tries to get used to how it works, but once you figure it out you will be a pom pom making machine!!

pom pom maker

The instructions may vary a tad depending on which kind you get, but essentially you wrap your yarn around the tool, tie it off, then trim the ends and voila, pom poms!!!

We used eight pom poms for this project in varying sizes. You can tie your pom poms together like we did, or hang them off the basket individually. It’s hard to make these not look cute!

We simply took all of our strands and tied them around them around one of the handles of our basket. If your basket doesn’t have handles you could use hot glue to attach them to the inside of the basket and have then drape over the side.

There are bunch of great baskets that can be used as planters out there. Below are some of our favorites!

Trying this DIY? Don’t be afraid to go crazy with the colors! We would love to see what kind of combinations you come up with! Tag @juniper_studio in your pictures!

P.S. Having trouble keeping your fiddle leaf fig alive? (you’re not alone…) When I bought this new tree, I told the nursery owner I have a terrible track record for killing these trees. He handed me a bottle of this liquid plant food and said it would be a game-changer! We have been watering our giant tree religiously with this concentrate and our tree has stayed happy and perky! So far so good. Maybe I have reversed the curse?

P.P.S. Still think even our super magical plant food won’t keep your fiddle alive? Check back next week for a full round-up of faux plants, including a few fiddles! :) We found some great ones!

UPDATE—- A lot of you have been asking about how we care for our fiddle leaf fig! We water it once a week with this plant food and rotate it each time. This helps make sure that it’s receiving an even amount of sunlight. The instructions on the plant food call for 2-4 teaspoons per gallon of water. We have a gallon container that we make up and use about 1/3 of it each time we water. Super easy!! The water will run through the plant and pool on the floor. Luckily for us we have concrete floors so this isn’t an issue, but if you are concerned about water getting on your floor we would recommend bringing your plant outside or into your bathtub/shower when watering. Hope this helps!!! Let me know if you have any more questions!!

Last week we posted our orthodontist office reveal and we got a bunch of questions about the leather sofa we used in the space. This one was custom made from Monarch Sofas, but it got us thinking about all of the other amazing leather sofas readily available online! We are especially loving camel right now, but there are so many great options in mid-tone brown, black and even gray. Here are some projects we’ve done in the last year using leather sofas and our round up of currently-available favorites!

Friday! Here we are again! This week we are releasing four new prints and they all have a moodier, Pacific Northwest feel to them, which I know a lot of you were asking for. These new prints also play really well off of each other and would look great grouped together in a gallery wall (another thing so many of you have been asking for!).  :)

Also a big heads up – In two weeks we will be raising the prices of just our special artist collaboration prints from $15 to $20 – all of my own originals (the bulk of the shop) will stay at the $15 price. This will help us to better support our contributing artists, (so they will want to share some of their best work with us!). Beth Allen is releasing a second abstract with us this week (this beauty is called AUGUST) and it will be at the $15 price for the next two weeks before getting bumped up to the new artist’s pricing – so snag it while it’s heavily discounted! :)

ASPENS is another new print, and I can’t tell you how much I love this one. I took this photo in one of my favorite places – a part of our state that feels completely secret and totally removed from the world. It is insanely remote and quiet and peaceful and I hope this print conveys that feeling to you too!

FERNS is going to be so helpful for those of you looking to round out your gallery wall collections! That bright pop of green color and all the small scale texture in those beautiful little leaves! You will love the fine details in this one.

WATER was taken at sunset on a little inlet off Malibu beach in California. I’m imagining this one blown up REALLY HUGE for over a fireplace or a sofa. It really could work so well in any space! The colors are that perfect spot between moody and peaceful. Have I already picked a favorite print? Because this one is also my favorite. :)

I’m so excited that these are completely different from our other prints! I hope you LOVE them as much as I do!! Now, which one(s) is your favorite??

I have been getting a lot of questions about my hair and how I style it. I hope it wasn’t as awkward to read that last sentence as it was to write it. :) :) I figured rather than spend my office hours individually responding to your DMs about my hair and makeup, I could throw a couple of my (amateur) tips into our Love Notes posts? Well, here goes nothing!

My #1 top hair tip (besides investing in a REALLY good cut and color once a quarter – I go to Chrissy at Habit Salon in Gilbert) is USE THIS DRY SHAMPOO! It has been my secret weapon for about five years now and allows me to go four or five days between washings and my hair has never been longer or healthier (despite all the coloring Chrissy does to it!:) It’s a powder, so I put some in my hands and rub it all through my roots before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning, I just run my favorite (very cheap, very good) hairbrush through my hair a few times and I’m all ready to go!

I use this (also very cheap) 1.5″ barrel curling iron to curl my hair the day I wash it and with the help of the blow pro dry shampoo, my loose curls (truly) stay for days! This routine has saved me SO MUCH TIME over the years! And I actually like my hair on days two and three the best anyway! :) Days four and five start to get a little rough and that’s when I use my French Luxe tortoise clips that so many of you have asked about, to hold my hair back in two braids or to the side with a far side part. I also keep this amazing-smelling spray dry shampoo around to give my hair a little texture if it needs it when my hair is freshly washed and almost too-clean/soft!

The best dry shampoo you will ever find  //  tortoise hair pins  //  1.5″ curling iron  (I like this better than a curl stick!) //  

Oribe hairspray (smells like heaven)  //  Treseme hairspray  (I know people claim Elnett is the best, but I think this one is!) //  brush  (safely detangles and the bristles add shine!)  //  shampoo & conditioner (Chrissy recommended this brand to me. Yes, it is pricier, but when you’re only washing your hair twice a week, it lasts FOREVER and has literally changed the look and feel of my hair. So much less straw-like now! :)

We are working on our new studio kitchenette and things are really starting to come together! Don’t worry – I’ve got a big post coming up with all the details! :) We are working with Lucent Lightshop to design a small lighting line together. We had a meeting about it a few weeks ago, where we shared inspiration images and talked sizes and finishes. It’s all going to be SO good you guys! One of the images that we talked a lot about was this one from the Ostrich Farm restaurant in LA. We are working on something similar for our studio kitchen, where the bulb is exposed and two sconces are mounted right next to each other. I can’t wait for this to start coming together! :)

Did you get your new IKEA catalog in the mail?? We just got ours and we are bookmarking all of our favorite new things!

This is such a great wall unit, especially for the price!! It is totally customizable too, which is great if you have a huge blank wall that needs filling up!

How good are the lines on this mirror?? It also comes in a standing floor version, but the small one would be especially pretty on a vanity.

I am loving some of these wood accents and those blue watercolor plates! Going to have to go check those out in person!

We still love this sideboard and have considered using them in the studio. The wood tone is so beautiful in person! Have you seen it?

And of course we can’t forget to mention our absolute favorite new item, this rattan cabinet. We are still patiently waiting for our local store to get some back in stock…
