I made the fireplace holder in the floor look like steps for when the fireplace is removed. The wiring for the fire logs has a recess to curl out of sight as well.

For the interior, I used all WWI photographs found online and built matchstick frames for each and every one of them. There's even one of Snoopy in WWI France from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I've also included a recruiting poster, an aircraft warning poster, a war bonds poster with the RAF insignia, and a flyer reminding you to eat more eggs and milk...to save the meat for the soldiers.

The tables and chairs are made from patterns in the book Finishing Touches by Jane Harrop, though I modified the measurements for the pub chairs. The metal settee was painted and upholstered. The trunk is a kit by Catland, though I didn't use the artwork included. I also added brass hinges and brad detailing.
