Darker floor and unfinished dining table

I've begun working on the dining area flooring. Lyssa wanted raised floorboards in my old house, so I cut the paper between a few of the pieces. This should allow for enough give for the wood to warp and lift. I used Minwax Plantation Walnut stain followed by a few dark washes of black and brown acrylic paint to simulate all those years of grime. I sprayed the floor with matte sealer and once dry I sanded the hell out of it. I brushed on a thin coat of satin varnish, which I wiped away before it dried. I'll mess with the finish more when I install it, but it is at least the basic color I was looking for. The table is a House of Miniatures kit - assembled but not yet finished. I am awaiting the chairs I hope will work with it.
