In Michigan, the House That Boats Built
Friday, May 24th, 2013Restoration Hardware hits home
Friday, May 24th, 2013Thud.
The sound of the postal carrier delivering the eight-pound pack of six RH Spring 2013 catalogues is enough to get your attention.
As you sit down with your tower of “source books,” as the company prefers to call them, you’ll notice a few new things. RH, which is what Restoration Hardware rebranded itself as last fall, continues to surprise (and sometimes shock) customers.

Billy Reid sets up shop in Georgetown
Friday, May 17th, 2013Don’t fall in love with the crackled leather armchair while you’re trying on that linen jacket at the new Billy Reid shop that opened last week in Georgetown.

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.
