Today's Episode
Dr. Raj talks with Valerie Hernandez about her journey into the world of interior design, sourcing vintage home pieces for her company, and how her background as a nurse highlighted how much living spaces impact our well-being.
Today’s Guest
Valerie Hernandez is a registered nurse, wife and mom of two toddler boys. She started her career in the healthcare field as that was your dream since the age of 13 and remains a big part of who she is today. Soon after becoming a nurse, she and her husband bought their first home in 2016 and have completely renovated it from top to bottom. As a nurse, she learned firsthand how our exterior spaces directly impact our daily lives and the importance of how the spaces in which we live make us feel. As many can relate during COVID, she and her husband realized their home was missing that cohesive, curated, and timeless feeling. Her love for interior design, and more specifically secondhand vintage decor, became a much-needed creative outlet for her. After a hard day at the hospital, her new hobby of sourcing, researching, and mindfully selecting pieces for her home became a complete transformation of the way she views home style. She decided she wanted to make her passion more than just a hobby, so she started her own business Grounded Home Designs. Grounded Home Designs brings you a refreshing take on mixing old with new. They have interior decorating services to carefully sourced high quality vintage pieces for others to enjoy.
“We believe in creating well-balanced spaces that bring Comfort function in a curated space for years to come. Our goal as a company is to reduce waste by rehoming high quality vintage pieces and helping others to find joy in styling their home. We approach our design and sourcing process with mindfulness, and can't wait to see what is to come as this is just the beginning”
