We are working on this for my granddaughter.

There are several deep shades of gray paint.  Go to Lowe's and check out the paint chips.  We're thinking about the darker gray on the ceiling and the next shade lighter on the walls.

She has a bed with a frame for a canape.  We are using black sheers and draping them back.

On the window, we are painting a black triangle in the two top corners to give the window an arched look.  We've been searching for paper or gel stickers to make a stained glass window.  If we can't find what we want, we'll paint the design on the window.

She has a lot of Jack Skellington kitsch to sit around.  She collects  weirdly shaped colored bottles.  She also has wall art that's appropriate.

We've talked about doing a faux finish on her door, but haven't pursued it.  Something to make it look distressed without damaging the wood.  We are changing the door k**b to one more suitable to the look.  There is an antique store nearby that had scads of household bits and pieces for sale.  Boxes and boxes of door k***s.

Visit your local antique stores and browse.  You'd be surprised at the things you can find.  Small things that add subtly to the room but don't whack you over the head.

Kenneth Brown decorated a kitchen with a goth look on one of his HGTV shows.  Little touches made all the difference.
