So I finished the trim... and now did the lighter brown toner for the rest of the cabinet.

One thing I figured out- the blue tape tends to pull some of the finish off when you remove it. Ended up having to touch up some of the dark trim. I think it looks nice, it's definitely striking with the dark trim and the rest of the cabinet being lighter.

Once this dries I will put on a coat of clear. I do not have a replacement logo yet, so, will probably leave the second coat of clear off the front panel until I can get one.
