In this case it was, in all places, the unisex bathroom at Taco Boy in Folly Beach! The two side by side cement sinks look hand made & well done. I like how they painted the sink interior white and the black stones lining the bottom worked as they were clean and fresh looking. Love the industrial lighting fixture against the light blue walls.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTa-qApzAUdRQlHeR7IFfIVPpJ-UWddZz_6fgs3_gcY9iPfgzHWtdKNrHJ3ydoawxRiiIJo_ZF61tW2s4Kd4DcwOmiMgLO9xFXIZGomb6NKxBQ5_Yt5iwP5PQcx3PmrUTL-bJDMcyQyE/s1600-h/new+194+(2).jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327334525110692178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTa-qApzAUdRQlHeR7IFfIVPpJ-UWddZz_6fgs3_gcY9iPfgzHWtdKNrHJ3ydoawxRiiIJo_ZF61tW2s4Kd4DcwOmiMgLO9xFXIZGomb6NKxBQ5_Yt5iwP5PQcx3PmrUTL-bJDMcyQyE/s640/new+194+(2).jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> Whose the face in the background? -- my husband, with his sunglasses pushed up after he's just asked me, "Can we please leave now?" I should also mention that this was not an icky unisex bathroom but rather well designed. Each bathroom had a completely closed in door (not a stall)and there were two entrance doors into the bathroom, on either side of the sinks, that were half glass.
