Inspiration Gallery Link Party 56

Happy Thursday! Hope you all are having a great week! This is my last week on ‘blogging maternity leave’ (even though I’ve still been around quite a bit), and I’ve been busy finishing up projects around the house, going to bed early and spending a lot of time cuddling with the Little Man! I have a lot in store for you next week so get excited! Operation “get the house organized” resulted in a lot of projects over the past few weeks :)

Now it’s party time!

If you’ve visited the blog over the past few weeks you may have noticed some amazing guest posters around here. I have been taking a little bit of a ‘maternity leave’ and have loved sharing some of my favorite bloggers with you! But don’t worry, I’ll be back full time soon :)

About Taryn Whiteaker

Hi! I’m Taryn! The voice behind Taryn Whiteaker Designs. I launched this brand over 11 years ago when I became a stay-at-home mom. What started as a small craft and mom blog eventually grew into a full time design and DIY site. My goal has always been to inspire others (especially women!) with design ideas, DIY tutorials, entertaining ideas and give you the tools you need to complete them yourself!

Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before an Staircase reveal part one! SWIPE for the before and to see all the details. This has been a major project over the course of the last 7 months, and it has been so exciting to see it all come together. My goal was to create an elegant and timeless look to our staircases, adding character with unique features of the railings, classic neutral runners with gold stair rods to complete the look and a moment for the large luxe chandelier that you can see from the courtyard. And of course a fresh look with smooth creamy walls. 

But I’m not entirely done just yet! Part 2 will be coming in 2026!
