Handles

Here's a before and after of the cupboards in my bathroom.  They had some really space-age-looking handles, but I was having a difficult time finding replacements because of their odd size.  Apparently all of the hardware from the '60s was a different size than they stock now...  (Also, everything in my house seems to have been pale pink, blue, or mint green at some point.)  I finally found some handles at the hardware store on clearance ($2.78 with a $2.78 rebate - so, free!), but they were brass.  So I bought some matte nickel spray paint and fixed them up.  (Oh, and I had to buy some appropriate-sized screws.)  Do you think it's an improvement?
