finish painting my bedroom furniture black

I have most of the bedroom furniture my parents bought to start their lives together. Well-made cherry pieces, that were probably expensive at the time. At this point, they are all rather worn and could use a good refinishing. Well, there isn’t any money to do that so I finally bought a bucket of flat black paint and started! I wonder if my mom would be horrified? Actually, the pieces I finished are looking pretty good- also replacing the knobs with shiny (faux) silver. Very Cool! 2 down, 4 to go!
