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.

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."
