Founding Farmers - Washington DC

Tuesday, 4/7/09, 8 pm - Foggy Bottom

There was definitely care given to planning this bathroom. The walls of both stalls were decorated with fields of corn (I think it was corn) while one wall was a full length mirror.

Even the light fixture had an outdoor touch (I think it's supposed to look like leaves), though that might be a bit much - the attempt to cram anything and everything nature-y into one space. Knowing Founding Farmers prides itself on being a LEED building and carbon neutral, I'm hope they were using energy saving bulbs.

One complaint I did have was about the toilets, which were magic eye of course theoretically to save water. However, it was quite sensitive. Every time I moved an inch, it flushed. Not exactly helpful.

The sink area looks like a farm-house type setting (basin sink but with a magic eye faucet). As expected, the restroom had no paper towels or cloth ones for that matter. Just the Dyson superpowered hand dryer to dry off.



I did also want to point out the wall decor outside the stalls. Painted to look like old chalk boards, the walls had quotes across them (I'm guessing they never change and probably aren't actually erasable).


Here's more on Founding Farmer's.
