V 2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, September 12, 1958 Decorator Says Timid Souls - By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -(LTD-We women behave like a bunch of Mrs. Milquetoasts in our home dec orating, says Mrs. Beverly Reitz. "Timid souls," said Mrs. Reitz, a decorator for 20 years. "And copy cats," she added, in describing most of us do-it-yourselfers. "Timidity shows in the way a woman follows exactly what everyone is doing, in be ing afraid to 'have a house different from all the others on the block. . "It shows in color schemes, in the monotony of the all grey or all-beige or other muddy color plans. "My ' advice to the home maker always is, don't be timid, but do be careful. Se lect accessories and furniture with thought; they will be around for a long time." If you're unsure of your self in decorating, Mrs. Reitz offered one cure: Knowledge.

The more you know, the surer you become. Planned Decor Mrs. Reitz, a native of Oak Ridge, Mo., and wife of a New York banker, is one of the designers represented at the 9th annual National Home Furnishings Show which op ened at the Coliseum today She planned the decor for the living, dining and foyer areas of a model, five-room house. She centered the color scheme around green and gold. "I'm a great believer in gold for curtains," said the "They give any house a feel ing of sunshine." "I think a house should re flect what the family is, and also what it hopes to become, she continued. "It should give an indication of the family's intellectual and artistic na ture; if a family loves good music, include a hi-fi set . loves art, start with at least one good picture. Discounts Money ' "And I don't think money has much to do with a taste ful home; I've seen wonderful results on a school teacher's salary. To me, it is bad taste for a house to shout how ex pensive the furnishyigs are; neither should it display all the work that went into mak ing it what it is. "I'm against a room look ing too worked on, too match ed, too coordinated." Asked to list the most com mon- "sins" committed by the amateur decorator, Mrs. Reitz had the answers ready imme diately: , ' "Copying the neighbors. "Striving for decorating ef fect over comfort. If a house is not comfortable, all is lost. "Not trying for floor inter est. I'm against wall-to-wall carpet through the house; it looks stuffed. "And failing to make the best use of accessories. Even if the general scheme con forms to others, at least here there is room for individualty -ih an unusual tray, in linens, even in the different design of something prosaic as an alarm clock."
