"\u201CI was constantly rearranging the furniture in my parents\u2019 home\u2014much to their amusement and sometimes frustration,\u201D Mitchell Turnbough says of his early penchant for interior design. He studied with artists and artisans from the age of five, was mentored by the late Benjamin Baldwin while attending Florida\u2019s Ringling School of Art and Design and then worked for Bray-Schaible in New York for 16 years. \u201CI\u2019ll never forget my first day there,\u201D he recalls. \u201CRobert Bray said to me, \u2018Just make it pretty,\u2019 and I\u2019ve been doing that ever since.\u201D After the dissolution of Bray-Schaible, Turnbough set up his own studio in 2002, and he has purposely kept it small and personal. \u201CI work alone, with a stable of consultants whom I\u2019ve known professionally for 20 years,\u201D he explains.\n\nInspiration for his projects\u2014which include architectural and interior design, furniture, home accessories and jewelry\u2014comes from \u201Cthe opportunity to communicate a simpler way of seeing things.\u201D He says, \u201CWe\u2019re getting closer to abandoning the common restrictions\u2014and even names\u2014of traditional rooms in a home.\u201D Recently he worked with a client who had the courage to do just that: \u201CRooms were designed for multiple anticipated uses and were named according to their geographical location within the house.\u201D Turnbough relies on his imagination for his living. \u201CAlthough, ironically, the one thing I can\u2019t imagine is doing anything else.\u201D\n\nMitchell Turnbough\n\n 917-972-7782\n\n www.mitchellturnbough.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
