Inspiration Gallery Link Party 8.28

We are slowly getting settled into our new home! My goodness it takes time to go throw all these boxes! I swear you can hear this phrase a million times a day, “Oh that? It’s in a box somewhere!” But regardless of the work, it is so so so fun to be decorating a whole new space.

It’s that time again! Welcome to the Inspiration Gallery Link Party. You are welcome to link up a few projects you have been working on recently and browse through others.  If you link up here, your projects will also appear on Craftberry Bush and The Golden Sycamore. It’s a 3 for 1 kind of deal! And every Sunday we post some of our favorites from the party, so be sure to come back in a few days!

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!

    It always takes longer to settle in than it does to pack, annoying but true:) Looking forward to seeing pics of your new home. Thanks for hosting!
