Well that wasn't so bad. Good thing it's supposed to look old. That covered up the fact that I've never worked leather before. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Dampened/wet coffee grounds make a good, natural looking stain for leather.  I just rub it on and let it set a little while.  I think it works better if you use hot coffee to dampen the grounds.  In my experience, used grounds fresh out of the coffee maker don't work as well - I guess they lose a lot of their 'loose' color in the brewing process.  Even with unused grounds it doesn't make a very dark stain but I think it looks nice and also think the color makes the leather look a little less 'brand new.'.  Of course, time and use can do that, as well.
