Spending some time in Alexandria with family members prompted a home tour and a request for help from the Decor You Adore experts. Just like everyone I know, my Mother-in-law's sister is looking for an update without breaking the bank. After thinking about it for a while it came to me....

Hobby Lobby Cobalt Knob $3.99 each |
Hobby Lobby has a wonderful selection of knobs and drawer pulls. I adore these cobalt blue scalloped knobs. A simple, inexpensive update would be to add them to your bathroom vanity and then add a new coordinating shower curtain.

If you aren't quite ready for a commitment like ceramic tile, simply add a couple of throw pillows like these from an Etsy shop.
