You may have walked into a few lavish washrooms in your lifetime, but nothing you’ve encountered will quite match the sheer awesomeness of this retro gaming lavatory by Gregory Pinzone. It’s as though screenshots of arcade classics like Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. and Pacman physically jumped onto the walls of this restroom, making anyone who has the pleasure of using this facility instantly overwhelmed with nostalgia.
And it's not only the walls that Gregory Pinzone has pimped out with 8-bit graphics, everything from the towels, soap dispensers, garbage cans, tissue boxes, clocks, lights and even the toilet are adorned with game visuals from decades ago. Who knew that a room that’s so often neglected when discussing households could be such an awesome haven of geekery?
