Salt Lake County Library@Utah: so fresh and so clean...

This restroom totally met the expectations raised by the rest of the building, which is a monumental feat of curved walls and glass. Based on my extensive research (Wikipedia), the design comes from  Moshe Safdie and Assoc and VCBO Architecture.

King's Row@Pasadena: bold, yet restrained taste

I don't feel strongly about this one, but I do appreciate the bold yet restrained choices. The only item that ties it to London is the single framed photo, which keeps it from being gimmicky. Especially wise since the door is very slightly borderline Midieval Times (whose bathroom I regretfully did not go to on my one unlikely visit...but that's another story.) Enjoy...

Dusty's@Silverlake: vintage noir

If anyone's been to Dusty's Bistro, they know it's a mix between a thrift shop and grandma's attic. A confusion of decades ranging from antique, to 50s Americana to 70s kitsch. I'm no expert but there was a lot going on. The restroom did not disappoint. The noir is for how dark it was in there...

JetBlue@JFK: a nod to the 60s


The glorious 60s mod styled lavoratory in the baggage claim section of JFK's JetBlue made my day. Unexpectedly clean and pristine.
