I am no expert, but it appears (from the wood, shape and handles) to be a danish teak dresser - they date from around the mid-late fifties and sixties. Don't think they are particularly rare (check for makers mark eg) Borge Mogensen/Sorborg Mobler?), but they are lovely, and very on-trend (similar new version by West Elm sells for $1099). Didn't find one exactly like yours on ebay, but similar vintage ones listed start at around AU $550-$600 and go up from there. A great thrifting find!

I am installing MSI Everlife LVT waterproof vinyl flooring. I understand I can't use rubber-backed rugs. Is there a pad I could put under the rugs?

What kind of design does the rug have?

Yes, bigreader. My study adjoins the living room but is set much further forward. I wanted to use Roman Blinds in there. On the other side of the living room is the front entry (no windows - just front door) and a wide bifold door between the kitchen/meals area and terrace, then the pantry and laundry which I have wide horizontal windows as well but 600mm high, and I was planning a simple blockout roller blind for each of those windows. The bifold has a special pleated blind that fits into each section and I can't find any other window treatment for bifolds other than drapes, verticals, panels, or shutters that get in the way when the doors are opened. I think it would be quite a challenge to keep them consistent across the front, although I agree it does look better. Here is the plan as it currently stands (a few tiny tweaks to be made yet but nothing significant)
