Marketplace Events (MPE): Describe your design style in five words or less.

• Matt Muenster (MM): “Thoughtful, clean lines, modern simplicity.”

MPE: What was your first job?

• MM: “Washing dishes at a supper club in Green Bay WI. And coaching little league for 8/9 year olds.” 

MPE: Most memorable career moment to date?

• MM: “In season 2 we a met a family with a son who was in a wheel chair – best reveal ever – it gave us a great sense of giving back and making a difference. Also, designing an accessible bathroom that was functional and beautiful.” 

MPE: What is your design or gardening pet peeve?

• MM: “I'm not a fan of the glass bowl vessels that sit on top of counter tops; they are hard to clean and not functional.” 

MPE: What was the last item you bought or crafted for your home?

• MM: “I bought 17 or 18 old doors – massive beautiful doors in St. Paul – the plan is to cut them up and panel-ize a wall in my house to create wall art.”  

MPE: What was your first ever DIY project?

• MM: “I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, we were fixing things constantly.  I added a bathroom to my first house before my career started.”  

MPE: What is your favorite organizational tip?

• MM: “Plan for storage, recess storage. Bathrooms don’t usually have good storage areas, so plan for easy-to-create storage to put things away.” 

MPE: Any embarrassing on-the-job moments you’d like to share?

• MM: “The best show is when the camera is not filming – my favorite part of my job is getting to the set and seeing my friends – probably a cement dump that went awry.”

MPE: What’s your personal mantra?

• MM: “Take care of luxuries and the needs will take care of themselves.  When you are thoughtful in design, you are creating space that is beautiful as well as functional; it is all about family and that always comes first.”
