Rita Muckensturm and Jon-Michael Astin, owners of Astin/Muckensturm Interiors, bring a combined 35 years of interior design and home furnishing experience to our community and showcase their many talents at their new Medina Road location. From formal schooling to hands-on experience in design studios and furniture stores across the country, this duo have the combined background to delicately integrate all elements of your project, from the floor coverings to the chandelier and everything in between, to achieve a look that's completely customized to your personal taste. They take pride in providing decorative items that are unique so they're always looking for pieces that catch their eye as a little more fun, a little more elegant, a little more detailed, or possessing an unusual finish. The ability to find items that are a little out of the ordinary while not overwhelming is an art that Jon-Michael and Rita have perfected.

When planning their showroom, they decided there were already enough large furniture stores in this area so their niche would be having a smaller, more distinctive inventory and providing extensive knowledge of the items they handle. In the Astin/Muckensturm showroom you'll find fine home furnishings including a handful of Asian antiques, beautiful wall art and mirrors, decorative pillows and throws, tabletop and floor lamps, whimsical and traditional figurines and statuary, custom florals and greenery, and a host of unique accessories. Their design studio services include area planning, in-home accessorizings, color coordination, custom window dressings, custom bed treatments, wall treatments, and flooring treatments. Rita and Jon-Michael are equally comfortable designing your living space from the blueprint stage through completion as they are in accessorizing a single room or suggesting interesting treatments for a nook. If you're looking for an item that's not in stock, they'll be happy to special order it for you and most items in the showroom can be customized to your taste.

Jon-Michael and Rita say, "What is fascinating to us, the fun part of the business, is that we have the opportunity to get to know our clients on a more personal level so that what we give them for a room or an entire house is an exact fit with their personality." When your decorating project calls for the invaluable combination of ability and style, visit the Astin/Muckensturm showroom and discuss your project with Rita and Jon-Michael. While your eyes are feasting on the showroom displays, don't forget to tell them that The Advocate sent you!
