It’s been far too long since I did a little ‘In the Details‘ post, but the Dallas home of Joslyn Taylor – featured in the latest issue of Rue – was the perfect piece of inspiration for me to get back into this series! Coincidentally (ok, not really) I’m also heading to Dallas tomorrow for the Rue + Gap Styld.by party on Thursday, and I hope to see some of my favorite southern ladies + gents there!
There’s so much beautiful texture in Joslyn’s home, and she knows how to do it just right, making every element a piece of the puzzle – even firewood! Instead of piling on the fireplace, or worrying about a carrier, she uses the pieces artfully – creating a little niche under the console for the logs to lie.
I’m not sure this element made it into the issue, but this cool bar area for entertaining also boasts a totally unique feature – a built in fishtank! I love how Joslyn topped the tank with a piece of art, so it looks like art itself!
I’m a sucker for sweet little sentiments, and I loved how this detail (it says “I love you more than all the stars”) is tucked behind a sparkling disco ball. This little corner evokes such a magical moment! Did you have a favorite element from Josyln’s feature? (It starts on pg. 86!)
And for those of you who are gonna ask… here are all the details on Thursday’s party!
I think it’ll be a blast and I can’t wait to spend a few days in Dallas too! Any must-do’s while I’m there? You know I love my home decor shopping…

Well…it’s the disco ball for me, too!! I have one hanging in my gazebo and it NEVER FAILS to give me a smile. GO DALLAS! franki
PLEASE shop all of those amazing vintage furniture stores in the design district for me!!! Joslyn’s home is absolutely stunning. So many great spaces in that Dallas Rue! ox
Leave love notes! I totally agree. I’m totally into handwritten notes these days. So touching compared to an email or a text message!
