Double Entendre – double entendre
so good I said it twice by Pretty Polly
Every now and then regular readers will know that when it comes to double entendres we like to slip one in every now and then.
Recently the urge to splash out on some new bedroom furniture came over us and following the relentless but eventual successful search for beds we now look to check out additional bedroom essentials – a chest of drawers.
Once committed to the hunt for a good set of drawers you’ll soon discover a world of bedroom furniture, including beds, drawers, wardrobes, chests and bedroom sets that will thrill and excite you
Chest of Drawers
After a bed a chest of drawers is one of the most practical pieces of furniture that you can buy and a wonderful turn of phrase for fans of double entendres.
You can use a chest of drawers for storing clothes, jewellery and many other items, so that your bedroom looks clutter-free, and you can also place items such as ornaments, a mirror or a television on the top.
Remember drawers are a fantastic double entendre opportunity – the word “drawers” is often used to refer to knickers and other lingerie items. Telling people you’ve been rummaging around in your drawers will bring a wry smile to most sauce spotters. Further exploration of the association of undies and your drawers will gain much attention and if followed by a classic double entendre joke (I asked the barman for a double entendre) will have your audience in fits of laughter (so he gave me one)
Choosing a Chest of Drawers – Chest Size
The first thing to think about is the size of chest of drawers that you want. You will need to work out where you want to place it and measure up.
It’s important to take some time to think about where you want to put your new drawers. If it’s wood, for example, you should place it out of direct sunlight in order to stop it from fading, and you should also make sure that it isn’t next to a direct heat source, such as a radiator.
Make sure that you leave enough space around your chest of drawers for you to be able to move around your bedroom without having to squeeze by it and, if you are intending to place it near to any beds or your bedroom door, make sure that there will be enough space for you to open and close the door properly.
One of the most important things to do when measuring up for a new chest of drawers is to ensure that you leave enough space for the drawers to be opened fully.
Style and Quality
When choosing a new chest of drawers, make sure that you buy one that is practical. Think about how many drawers you want and how deep or wide they need to be. It’s easy to underestimate how much room you are likely to need, and it’s better to have some free space in your drawers than to find that you can’t fit everything in.
If you want to store underwear and lingerie or other items of clothing in your chest of drawers, you will probably find that you are using it every day, so choose something sturdy, so that it will stand the test of time.
Make sure that you choose a high-quality chest of drawers. The drawers should open smoothly and be constructed using dovetail joints. The drawer handles should be fixed securely in order to be able to stand up to regular heaving and hoing.
You should also make sure that your new chest of drawers will fit in with the style of your bedroom and either match or contrast effectively with your bed and bedding as well as the rest of the furniture in the room. If you are considering replacing the rest of the furniture in your bedroom, you may want to consider buying a bedroom set. Bedroom sets usually consist of several pieces of matching furniture combining beds a chest of drawers and a wardrobe, or a chest of drawers and a bedside table.
We’ve enjoyed picking out a few easy double entendres in this otherwise dull but informative article about choosing furniture. Remember drawers can go down as well as up.

June 3, 2009 2:13 pmDon’t get me started on furniture! People who don’t move very often have no idea how much time and effort (and $ of course, but that’s a topic for another rant 😉 ) it takes to choose the right piece of furniture, be it a simple chair or a chest of drawers.
You’re giving good advice here, keep it up! 🙂

June 22, 2009 6:56 amIn my view and for me, I will always prefer a lasting (good quality) furniture for my home. And it is not just high quality but beautiful as well. I am agree with what you said is that people should know first thing to think about the size of furniture and the size for its space of our home.

July 2, 2009 8:25 amWhen it comes to choosing furniture, I would always like to recommend wooden furniture. Wooden furniture are natural and they have real and rustic appearance which cannot be found in other furniture made of artificial materials and plastic. Modern furniture unlike their predecessors uses steel and artificial materials and plastics instead of wood. They are really good but whatever may be the trend for modern furniture they cannot surpass wooden furniture. An antique pine wardrobe or an oak wardrobe when compared with a modern wardrobe has lot of differences. Wooden furniture has a majestic appearance which is unique and natural.

October 23, 2009 4:26 pmWell people pay a lot of attention to the kind of furniture they buy as it is not considered only as an item for seating but a far refined product that can enhance the décor of any home and bring it to life. Most people like to add distinctive, authentic, and stylish furniture to their living space so that it can create a depth and at the same time fill the entire home will warmth. Normally, wooden furniture is preferred for home decor although some people also like the trendy and stylish designs available in PVC and plastic.
One of the most popular choices of home furnishings includes the Moroccan furniture. Manufacturers of Moroccan furniture craft it in such a manner that it exudes warmth that can be compared to the different earth tones and offers an open invitation to relax. Apart from this, it is a great addition to the entire home apart from the living space. Earth tones in Moroccan furniture help in softening the tone and bring down the brightness of the home décor or wall paint.
You can add separate pieces that have their own distinctive personality or add a group of similar furniture styles that will bring in a similarity into the room. You can in fact even try and capture the rural life of Morocco or the various artistic imprints of Morocco through the furniture you buy. Moroccan theme will bring in a contrast and uniqueness to the living space. Everything in your living space will come to life and at the same time, it will add to the warmth too.Finaly if you feel that your home needs a breath of fresh air then Moroccan Furniture is the best option because it will remove the stiffness and the lack of unique environment from your home.

January 25, 2010 4:18 amIts really disheartening thesedays as so many people goto general stores to buy their furniture, spend what can be still quite a bit of money and have a design which is a nightmare to put together. I would still recommended people look to using a dedicated wooden furniture retailer nomatter where they live for a higher quality range of furniture for any room.

February 13, 2010 8:23 amThere are so many different types of bedroom furniture available that sometime we need to ask ourselves, “do we need them all?”. Besides beds, there are other bedroom furniture which you must have in your bedroom. And finding some good bedroom furniture is not so easy even though it seems so. You need to look at the quality, materials, color, design, finish, patterns and many other features before selection them.
