Headboards on a bed can set a theme, or create a beautiful frame. there are so many ways to create a headboard where there is none. The simplest way is to tape together 20"x30" foamboard panels in the desired width (queen bed 60", king bed 80", so you will need either 3 or 4 panels). Wrap these panels with fabric and carefully staple to the back of the boards. Using thin nails, attach these panels to the wall above the bed -- remember to keep the bottom of the panels 1" below the top mattress. A Queen size headboard can be made for less than $30!

Outdated fixtures & cabinet knobs?
Replacement them or not? Definitely not for the knobs. For about $10-$12 the knobs can be removed, primed (Krylon), painted (Krylon popular finishes include brushed silver or oil rubbed bronze), and one application of Krylon clear coat varnish and you have a brand new look in the kitchen. (I've actually done this at a home in Ballantyne and saved the owner $135!)
This can also be done with both interior and exterior light fixtures. A very cost effective way to update a look, assuming the light fixtures are not outdated in style vs. finish.
