This series is well on it’s way to being one of our favorite posts to compose. We’re all about interiors so seeing the personal style of some of our favorite stylin’ ladies out there is just too much fun!! Now that Beth is settling into life on the West Coast, we thought it would be appropriate to feature a Dallas edition of our Design Duel. (we want to make sure that Beth is good and home sick!)
Here’s the idea… We ask some of our favorite design bloggers to go up “against” each other and share their own unique taste in an oh-so-friendly design duel! There are no winners or losers here; just a fun look at two different takes on the same space.
Today’s duel…
The Work Space
Joslyn Taylor of Simple Lovely
Joslyn Taylor chronicles her love of design, fashion, art and food through her thoughtful blog, Simple Lovely. We could go on and on about Joslyn’s many talents and accomplishments but her most recent jump into the creative world by becoming the style editor for D Home magazine and the executive editor of D Family, is enough to leave us totally impressed!!
VS
Sam Reitmayer Sano of style/SWOON
Another design triple threat, Sam Sano not only runs her successful graphic design firm, which boasts clients such as Neiman Marcus and the Dallas Cowboys, but she also dabbles in interiors and writes for Dallas fashion publication, FD Luxe. As if that wasn’t already enough, she also authors the super hip and always inspiring blog, style/SWOON. This gal has all the design bases covered!!

I love both looks! Great choices ladies.

What a fun post. I love both Joslyn’s earthy style and Sam’s feminine notes. Great concepts. Thanks for sharing and I hope to see more of this feature!

These ladies never cease to amaze me. Loving both looks. I’ve been eyeing that brass pencil case for some time now!
We’re so glad to hear you all enjoyed yet another PULP Design Duel!! Any recommendations for the next match-up?
Both were great! I am a huge fan of Joslyn and her blog Simple Lovely! For the next match-up, what about some Chicago design bloggers? Not sure who to point to but I would love to find some in this great windy city of ours!
Both are killer. I would happily work at either of those desks! ox
The desk chair Sam posted is perfection! Do you know which one Kings Lane Sale it came from- is it recent? Or who it is by?
Lesley, I asked Sam about the chair and she couldn’t remember which sale it came from but guessed it was not recent.
Let’s know if you find another similar to that one!
That is the suitable blog for anybody who desires to seek out out about this topic. You realize so much its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I really would need…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply nice!
