Good Hope Club Amazed At Mrs. Reid’s Home
Members of the Good Hope Home Demonstration Club met on June 25 with Mrs. Herman Reid.
The group was amazed at the beauty of the Reid’s four room house which they had completely redecorated for the summer.
Mr. Reid, who is a recently discharged War Veteran, will enter college this fall but he and his wife wanted to keep house until they left. Therefore, they papered the walls, finished in white a number of discarded pieces of furniture and have proved that an attractive and livable home can be fashioned from odds and ends.
Among the attractive pieces of furniture are a radio cabinet made into a book case, an old fashioned wooden bed cut down and refinished into a modern one; a large packing case enameled white and curtained makes a nice closet; an old ice box is a roomy linen chest and a discarded incubator makes an attractive table.
