So, after stripping all of the black from the cabinet, replacing the decorative pieces, toning the cabinet with dark brown walnut toner and medium brown on the decorative pieces, here is the result so far.  I had to use an air brush with the dark walnut toner to even out the finish before the final coats of toner.  The cabinet turned out deep red-brown (red because the cabinet was quite red after the stripping process plus walnut brown toner tends to be a bit red).  Medium brown walnut also turns out a bit red and the camera accentuates that, but on the whole it's ok.  I hope it's not too far from original.  I have to believe it is closer than the black paint that was on it previously!
