I just purchased a Barns home. It has rough pine on the interior. Should it be treated ? Any other tips on protecting our new home would be appreciated.

It should be Osborne brushed to remove scuff marks and splinters. You should then apply a good quality borate treatment. I would recommend Shell Guard RTU. You want to use a lighter color stain or clear stain to keep it lighter inside. The wood will darken naturally over time anyway.
If you would like to do it yourself call Dave at 800-564-2987 for the materials you will need and more helpful ideas. If you are looking to contract it call Mike at 866-670-3020.
