Least Exciting Bathroom Ever

Blossom is a quaint Vietnamese restaurant on Main in downtown LA, and I do love them (in general). A few friends and I had some wonderful veggie spring rolls and tofu curry there on Saturday night- but just about everything was off (except the food, which was good). 

The service was weird, the food came in spurts (meaning some people waited a lot longer than others for their dishes), and it was freezing cold in the place. 

I went to the bathroom early in the evening, so I was not tainted by the events that followed. All I can really say is that this bathroom is the single most boring bathroom ever. This one really is. Really. 

The one cute detail: 

I really like this little woman sign. It's fresh, simple, surprising. The rest... blah. 

The flooring is okay... I kinda' like it... but not that much, really. 

Yeah, there was soap, the place was clean, it wasn't bad. It just wasn't good, either. 

Here's the thing: I want just a little flare in a bathroom. It doesn't have to be showy or amazing (like Harroin Salon), but does it have to be this much of a snoozer?! Throw a picture up, paint an accent wall, something! The bathroom says a lot about your establishment, and while first and foremost you want it to say CLEAN, you also want everything about your place to say REMEMBER US and COME BACK. 

Luckily, the curry is really good, so I will be going back. Too bad I might fall asleep in the bathroom when I do.

This bathroom look terrible, agreed. A very good example of a bad looking bathroom - bathroom furniture online.
