How do I get this cleaning product out of the wood?


I spilled some Clorox clean up (w/bleach) in a storage area. when i realized it the chemicals had already gotten into the wood. i scrubbed it but it wouldnt come out. this cabinet is attached to my bed and i can still smell the cleaning products. What do i use to get them up?

leave the cabinet doors open to let the chemicals dissipate, spray area with air freshener to cover…

kitchen layout…what’s the word for… cannot remember, help?


Ok, so I’ll try to explain this as best I can. I was watching HGTV and they remodeled a kitchen. The lay out of the room reminded me of the kitchen of the house i grew up in, but it was much smaller. The room it self is kind of an L shape well more like upside down "L", so I guess kind of like a 7 but facing in the other direction (i guess you could say it’s a little hall and you turn to the right and the actual stove and sink plus more cabinets are there, i hope you get what i’m trying to say) anyway since the kitchen on tv was really small the designers wanted to add more storage space so they built a row of cabinets and drawers/bottom cabinets along the little "hall" for extra storage and they called this area something specific. They said we added a "___". It had a name, it wasn’t simply "we added some cabinets"; does anyone know what i’m talking about? I can’t find a picture of this style kitchen online, but in this pic, just pretend there are more cabinets along the wall (this would be the first thing you would see upon entering the kitchen) and at the end instead of that wall being there you would make a left and the stove, sink, and more cabinets would be there. I know this is probably a long shot, but i figured I’d try anyway, I just cannot remember what she called it, but I know i would recognize the word. I tried describing it to a friend but all she could come up with is a buffet, but it’s not that.

Sorry if i confused you! : )

Wouldn’t that row of cabinets in the hall be called a "Butler cabinet" or a "SideBoard cabinet"

Home Theater Seating Furniture – Is There Comfort In Your Theater?


Our home theater decor can become quite unique if it is done with aesthetics and design in mind, and the selection of furniture is at the core of it. The main staples of an entertainment room are the entertainment and media center. This is what the whole room is about – entertainment for the family.

What this consists of will vary on each individual home but usually it has the entertainment stand and speaker stands if needed, DVD/CD, stereo with AM/FM tuner, speakers, television, projector, and whatever extras that are desired. Accessories for this area could be audio visual cabinets, audio video cabinets, TV cabinets, stereo cabinets, multimedia Storage Cabinets, or entertainment cabinets.

The next step could be either the sofa or movie theater chairs, with recliners if desired. These can be massage recliners, vibrating recliners, or high quality recliners. There are movie theater loungers that look as if they were originally in the downtown home cinema theater for the home theater lines from two to eight sets together.

With varying prices, this is not the area to cut corners because next to high quality viewing and listening, there needs to be high quality comfort of the body and mind. Only then will full enjoyment be at its peak! Many consumers refuse to put a couch or sofa in the home theater room, as it seems nothing more than another living room. But, if home theater decor is put in, then the whole atmosphere changes.

If you are looking for really great furniture for your home theater, you should carefully consider your options. For example, picture a theater that has several lounging chairs lined up in it.

Another big area for the home theater room are accessories, such as movie posters of our favorite movies to match the atmosphere of the cinema downtown, with or without poster frames; popcorn machines and popcorn supplies; special cinema lighting, signs, decor, and carpeting. Also becoming quite popular for accessories are the game room items – shuffleboard tables, pool tables, pinball machines, countertop games, shuffleboard tables, and others.

If many of these items are too expensive for the home theater budget, down-grade the quality of the furniture just slightly. Look for a different material rather than leather or look for another type of comfortable, easy to relax in furniture. The other furniture we can get little by little as time goes on, with our budget increases.

We can even consider purchasing real theater seats, if you can find them at auctions – check the online auction houses or look for a dealer either locally or on the web. We may even find a theater that is looking to sell their furniture to you as long as we are willing to come and get the furniture. Whatever you do, get quality, easy to enjoy furniture for your home theater. You will love it!
