Thanks everyone...  I really love it.  I had to experiment with the stain mixing and got fairly close - unless you put it outside in bright sunlight.  Inside, it looks dead on even in bright light so I'm calling it good.  I don't want one of those "Oh look... I'm making it worse" moments.  Already had a few while trying to make it "perfect".

The hubs even likes it now altho I'm sure he'll still cover it up with his clothes - lol.

Over time, UV light (even filtered) will darken the wood even more so expect some changes to occurr years down the road.
