I gotcha.. honestly.. I'd grab a few pieces of scrap wood and apply the stain and then separate out some of the poly and add various things to it to get a desired color.
That's what I'm doing now. I added some milky-looking mineral spirits to some polyurethane as a test, and just applied that to a test board.
By the way... the fumes are giving me a headache despite adequate ventilation. I worry what's happening to little Maggie's brain.

Yeah.. I build furniture on the side and I wear a respirator mask when doing any of that..
Maggie is a dog correct?? b/c if so her senses are about a million times more sensitive.
Also honestly depending on age of floors..now could be a good time to just refinish the entire room.

I think you are a weird pot head that wears a dog head.
However, I'm going to help you.
You are never going to get two boards to match the rest of the room. I hope you notice the difference every day and it drives you even more crazy.
