Tell me what you think of these unique pink and gray bathroom ideas. The goal of today’s tips is to take your old fashioned pink ceramic tile bath out of the dark ages and make it so cool that you will have to leave the shower water running red hot all the time just to keep the mirror from frosting over!

Well, maybe I got a little carried away with that last statement but that is just how over the top I am with decorating the black, pink and gray bathroom that adjoins a bedroom that I decorated with a matching black, pink and gray gothic skull and crossbones bedding set.

The truth is that a space that at first glance was a decorator’s nightmare has turned into a before and after project of the variety that was perfect for a segment on a home improvement show on HGTV. Here’s the story of why I chose the black, pink and gray bedding and pink and gray bathroom accessories that you see in the pictures.

A family recently moved into an old house that had been inherited from an elderly grandparent. Like so many homes that are left when the owner passes away; it had great personality but it had not been updated since the 50s. The large rooms and beautiful woodwork was fantastic and the majority of the home was brought into this century with a new color scheme achieved with many gallons of paint. The biggest (and most expensive) challenge was updating the kitchen and one pink and gray bathroom that had a near perfect bathtub, commode (right down to the unblemished toilet seat) and tiled walls all in gray, black and pink.

Something told me that the owner had pulled the colors for the pink and black layout from one of Elvis’ early outfits. But since the teenage girl was not a fan of rockabilly, vintage or retro décor was not an option and neither was tearing out the powder pink and gray bathroom. Words cannot describe this teen girl’s delight at the reveal when she got an eyeful of her pink and gray skull and crossbones bed and bath. The skull towels and shower curtain was a perfect match to the decorations in her boudoir and the effect was very attractive if a little unusual.

The bottom line is that my clients were thrilled that they didn’t have to spring for a complete bathroom remodel and their daughter was so happy that I have made appointments for three of her friends to view my portfolio of teenage girls bedding and bedroom decorating ideas who are considering remodeling their rooms.

OWL BEDDING SETS and BEDROOM IDEAS

After experimenting with some retro owl bedding sets in a bedroom that I decorated last fall, I wanted to explore a more modern design in something other than earth tones. For those that don’t recall that decorating project, the colors in that comforter set were orange, olive green and brown. The color scheme was earthy enough for a boy’s bedroom but the teenage girl that came up with the idea did not have unisex décor in mind. She was just in the mood for an owl bedroom decorated in fall colors.

Even though she told me recently that she had no plans to transition into pastels for spring just yet I just had to send her the pictures of this more feminine pastel owl bedding set to see if I could change her mind. The lime green, lavender, pink and yellow fabrics that are seen in the quilt and comforter are so light and airy that you can almost feel the breeze blowing through the gauze curtains decorating the windows.

And the trunk of the river birch to the side of the headboard ties into the theme and keeps the owl bed set from being too girly while adding a decorative layer of texture that just knocks me out! The only thing lacking would be branches where toy owls matching the baby owls in the bedding set could perch on the tree.

The owl pillows and tree appliques patterns on the quilt do a super job of blending both color and design in the space that has a country cottage flavor without the use of floral fabrics which should please girls from the age of tween or preteen through the early teenage years.
