I primed the interior with white craft paint. I had some flooring leftover from Mt. Sydney Chalet. It was a staining mishap that I never got around to correcting. I used a mix of Staining Medium and Bittersweet Chocolate by Americana to darken the color. In a few places, I needed to use undiluted paint to cover the light boards that hadn't taken the original stain. The final finish is Delta Ceramcoat Satin Varnish, two liberal coats. This floor is permanently attached, but other flooring can be placed on top as needs be. I glued the flooring while the board was able to be pressed flat, before assembly. During assembly, the floor board still bowed a little, but it's not all that noticeable except in the lower left corner.

I cut some leftover baseboard trim from the Heritage to fit the room. These will remain loose, held in place with mini hold wax. Even the plain white room works well.
