[...] I was deciding how I would update the bathroom (until we can afford a remodel) I relied heavily on this picture I saw in Real Simple magazine. I thought it was bright, happy, and something I would like to see every [...]

I gotta say I am so not on the pink bandwagon. when I was at your house and walked in your bathroom the first thing I thought was, “woah!” And then I thought I guess their great remodeling job has not made its way to the bathroom yet. BTW I loved the rest of the house.

Are you going to remove the shower door? I think that would help some because you could choose a more manly color for a shower curtain. Maybe something in a shade of gray.

I agree with Jen – pink and brown. The brown "mans" it up a bit. And your tile is white – I love brown & white next to each other.

As a side note, when we moved into our house there were 3 bathrooms – we had a pink toilet, a lt. blue toilet, and a yellow toilet. I have to admit it was the first improvement we made to the house – all white toilets. Although the pink tub and yellow tub lasted a bit longer.

Oh have the cute little kid stuff for awhile. It’ll be a sad day when you have to remove it. I myself have a BROWN AND PEACH kids’ bathroom of the same ouvre. If it weren’t for the peach (yuck. that should ONLY be a fruit, not a color) I’d go with pink for the walls because I love the pink and brown Neopolitan ice creamness of this current fad (and I have a boy and a girl sharing the room so…).

SO, how’s about a pale brown–latte? It’ll go with the animals and boy-up the room.

This may be COMPLETELY the wrong direction, but have you thought about embracing the 50′s vibe? I wonder if introducing some black or gray to the pink would ‘dude it up’ a bit? There are some interesting repro barkcloth fabrics here: http://www.jandofabrics.com/categories.asp?id=7

Then again, it may look too much like you’re staging a revival of “Grease”! If you hate the idea, then pretend I never commented!

I didn’t even click on the link. I saw ‘Sri Lanka car wallpaper’ and hit delete.

TIP: pretend to read my blog before you hit me with spam.

Kerrie–thanks! That makes me feel better about the pink.

Kara–I know, the little kid accessories are kind of meh, huh? I blame it on the giraffe. I’m telling you he is cute in person.

Am I a mean mom for not having kiddy-stuff in their bathroom?

That was supposed to be “local single girls in the area.”

You know how I feel about pink bathrooms and that I was born without the "decor bone" however I think the yellow plays well with pink and especially like the yellow stripe curtains along with the floral rug.

Not feeling it with the accessories from Target and though I know you never would - please don't go with your last commenters whom I believe is suggesting to use car wallpaper or trying to get you to meet local single girls in the are? Hmmmm.

Searching the Pottery barn site last night I did notice they have monogrammed bathroom accessories which might be too grown up for the little dudes but also offer a masculine touch. Of course, now that I suggest that, what color monogram would you choose - certainly not pink or yellow and not exactly sure how black would look.

Not sure if that was any help.
