Being Home With Medina Grillo

<p>On the Being Home With Hunker podcast, we have Medina Grillo, an interiors and DIY blogger behind Grillo Designs, and author of “Home Sweet Rented Home.” As Medina describes herself, she is an “IKEA-loving-upcycling-junkie-DIY-passionate-home-decor-crazy momma and wife.”</p><p><br></p><p>Medina, who lives in England, is an advocate for renters who want to beautify their rental spaces. (She also started a video series on Instagram called “How I Rent.”) As she shares, she believes that renters are “the underdogs in interior design,” and that people should put a stamp on their rented home.</p><p><br></p><p>As a long-time renter herself, she says that by creating a home that reflects who you, it really does help your mental health in a positive way. Plus, who doesn’t want to live in a lovely space?</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, Medina talks about her favorite upgrades and DIY projects that she’s done to her own rented home; how she deals with negative comments from people who think she’s wasting money when she does these design upgrades; and how people can work within their budget and with their landlord to make changes to their rented space.</p><p><br></p><p>Website: <a href="https://grillo-designs.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grillo Designs</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/grillodesigns/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@grillodesigns</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/howirent_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@HowIRent</a></p><p>Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Home-Sweet-Rented-Medina-Grillo/dp/1784726001" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Home Sweet Rented Home</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>ABOUT THIS PODCAST&nbsp;</strong></p><p>For more information about this episode, or other podcast episodes, visit <a href="http://hunker.com/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hunker.com/podcast</a>.</p><ul><li>This podcast is produced by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurie.gunning.grossman
