I also have a couple of 30 year old pine dressers. I recently painted the smaller, more battered one white, with navy blue drawer fronts and changed out the wooden knobs for porcelain ones. The other dresser was in better condition, so I left the top and legs as is, but painted the rest matte black. Looks great with the original brass hardware! Very pleased with both, so don't feel like you have to work around the pine for the rest of your room.

Hi Julie - what kind of rustic look are you going for? A bit more detail would help :)

I think you could shorten the internal length of the walk in by robe by about 700mm & open up the space just outside it for a dresser & mirror. Have a double sliding door to the ensuite which for the most part could stay open or closed depending on your preference. This creates a dressing area connected to the ensuite like a foyer space to give hubby some swinging room & make narrow open shelving on the right hand wall inside the robe but not all the way to the door leaving a space for a small chair or stool at the entry. Have the left hand side all hanging having some full length & some split high & low for shirts etc...

Haha, Jodie. If the container was full of jelly beans...it would be put to very good use! I did a quick search for lamps, so here are a few just to get you thinking. Probably a tallish one so two people can easily read in bed. Some of the lamps have shades that look like they might match the colour of the shades on your pendant light.
