ABOUT Taryn Whiteaker

Taryn is the voice of style behind TarynWhiteaker.com (formerly Design, Dining and Diapers). Taryn established her brand over 12 years ago in hopes to inspire others with design tips, DIY tutorials, entertaining ideas and life as a mom! Taryn spent 8 year renovating their home in the greater Seattle area, transforming a basic builder grade home into a custom home that reflected their rustic modern style. That kicked off a journey and love for home renovation and DIY projects!

Today, Taryn documents her journey decorating her new European inspired home in Dallas taking one room and project at a time. When she isn’t demoing, styling and shooting projects, you can find her running around after her three kids (aged 8,10,12), at the Crossfit gym, exploring the outdoors, and enjoying any time she can get with her husband of 15 years.

Taryn has appeared as a guest on The Rachael Ray Show, and her work has been published in Better Homes & Gardens, Country Sampler, All You, Family Circle and online on Country Living, People,com, Elle Decor, InStyle and more. 

Taryn loves to partner with brands she loves, please email her directly at [email protected]
