Thanks for all the comments!  The colored stain was a bit tricky to work with.  We used the Minwax water based on this project.  The big key is not becoming impatient or trying to do too much.  We found it tacked up quicker than traditional stains, and became more of a paint than stain.  There was some additional sanding needed after we did a couple of tests on the drawer fronts.  The key, work a small area, don't let the stain set too long, and work in a couple of coats.

 

I haven't tried milk paints before, but it's something I've been interested in.
