(Selling the store’s furnishings would cause chaos on the floor, Reid says, as some pieces are hard to replace.) His arrangements of vintage furnishings and architectural artifacts are the perfect setting for his comfortably stylish men’s and women’s clothing at all of his 10 stores. If you go into a dressing room in the upper-level made-to-measure department here, you’ll feel like you’re in an elegantly appointed dressing room in an old New Orleans townhouse. </p> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/billy-reid-sets-up-shop-in-georgetown/2013/05/17/fb703eb0-be66-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html?wprss=rss_home">Read full article &#62;&#62;</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/636607/s/2c10d5a9/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Flocal%2Fbilly-reid-sets-up-shop-in-georgetown%2F2013%2F05%2F17%2Ffb703eb0-be66-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_home&t=Billy+Reid+sets+up+shop+in+Georgetown" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Flocal%2Fbilly-reid-sets-up-shop-in-georgetown%2F2013%2F05%2F17%2Ffb703eb0-be66-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_home&t=Billy+Reid+sets+up+shop+in+Georgetown" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Flocal%2Fbilly-reid-sets-up-shop-in-georgetown%2F2013%2F05%2F17%2Ffb703eb0-be66-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_home&t=Billy+Reid+sets+up+shop+in+Georgetown" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Flocal%2Fbilly-reid-sets-up-shop-in-georgetown%2F2013%2F05%2F17%2Ffb703eb0-be66-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_home&t=Billy+Reid+sets+up+shop+in+Georgetown" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Flocal%2Fbilly-reid-sets-up-shop-in-georgetown%2F2013%2F05%2F17%2Ffb703eb0-be66-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_home&t=Billy+Reid+sets+up+shop+in+Georgetown" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664827696/u/0/f/636607/c/34656/s/2c10d5a9/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664827696/u/0/f/636607/c/34656/s/2c10d5a9/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664827696/u/0/f/636607/c/34656/s/2c10d5a9/a2t.img" border="0"/>Billy ReidFri, 17 May 2013 16:06:50 GMThttp://www.washingtonpost.com/local/billy-reid-sets-up-shop-in-georgetown/2013/05/17/fb703eb0-be66-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html?wprss=rss_homeJura Konciushttp://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/636607/s/2bf69584/l/0L0Swashingtonpost0N0Clifestyle0Chome0Cmaking0Espace0Efor0Etwo0C20A130C0A50C140C3eeab25e0Eb6940E11e20Eb94c0Eb684dda0A7add0Istory0Bhtml0Dwprss0Frss0Ihome/story01.htm<p>Katherine and Michael Godesky of Arlington want to turn their crammed office from a catchall for clutter into a comfortable working space for two.

With small hand tools this is true in an intimate way. Holding a claw weeder, our fingers gain the power of an eagle’s talons. Just picking up a trowel sends a charge of confidence down the muscles of the forearm. Such tools are very personal.

I have lots of on-air footage to prove it. Several years ago, in a live segment on <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.today.com/">NBC’s “Today” show</a>, I was giving the weatherman-cum-correspondent some decorating tips, including how to accessorize a bed with pillows. As I was explaining that the layering of decorative pillows on your bed helps to create a focal point in the room, Roker seized the opportunity to vent about his maddening relationship with his cushion-covered bed. He described a nightly war he waged with the many pillows that his wife, Deborah, insisted remain in place until bedtime.

People love them, too: You can position a potted herb garden almost anywhere with a bit of sunlight, on a breezeway, a balcony, a front stoop or a back patio. The only criterion, other than sunlight, is that it be handy, so you can snip what you need for the kitchen.
