About Jenny Wojcik
Expertise
Decor: I've written about it, planned it, designed it and colored it, and I've never stopped loving it. It's not what you spend, or who made it, it's how it makes you feel. I take pride in assisting people with virtually every aspect of making their homes more comfortable and livable on a budget! As an advisor and decorator, I have assisted many do-it-yourselfers in the quest for developing their own unique home style.

Experience
College, advertising, public relations, marketing, free-lance writing and a plethora of creative endeavors have led me here. A stint at a law firm taught me humility too, but I really never scratched the creative itch until I became an Interior Decorator. Some three thousand questions ago, I wondered if I could really help. I think now that I am, and it feels great to give something back.

Decorating & Furniture - rubber wood furniture


Expert: Jenny Wojcik - 2/5/2008

Question
I am looking for a shelf to put in my large shower.  I came across just what I am looking for made of rubber wood.  Is that suitable for a shower environment?  Is it similar to teak?  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Tammy,

Thanks for choosing me to answer your decor question.  Rubber wood is similar to teak, but does not hold up to moisture as well as teak.  It's a sturdy substitute, but you will need to seal it (with a clear coat polyeurthane) from time to time.  

If you dry it after a shower, it should last a good long time.  

Jenny
