An Elegant Toilet Paper Storage Solution

I don't know if you're anything like me, but when it's time to entertain, it's time to leave out plenty of ahem, provisions. That said, there's just not a lot you can do to make your bathroom look elegant and classy when you've got stacks of TP laying around.

Not long ago, I stumbled across a photographer's blog post about her bathroom renovation. She had come up with the most GENIUS idea...using a fabulous large candle holder as a TP storage solution. I think you'll agree, that Target has provided me with a tre chic way to store and display the extra rolls! Have you ever seen something so perfect??? Seriously, go to Target now, and pick one of these up...and, if you have a big family, there are even taller candle holders! I think it's a MUST HAVE!
What do YOU do in your powder bath? Do you have a similar solution? Something better? Or do you leave your guests hanging? Do tell!

PS - I so love my new TP thingamajiggy that I'm sharing it at Works for Me Wednesday!

Very elegant! In our guest bathroom, I replace the roll even if it is half way before anyone arrives. And if they are staying a while, I let them know where the extra ones are, which is right in the cupboard next to the toilet. :)

I have a holder in my bathroom but not my guest bathroom, guess I should do that!

2 thumbs up! Everytime I attempt to use my son's bathroom I notice there is never any paper. I think I may have to go get something like that... it's just a perfect fit.

I may turn it into my own creation by getting a plain one & making a decal that matches the bathroom to wrap around it... but the idea is great.

love it!
we use a tall wooden box that has a door on the front of it and a hole in the top. the roll of toilet paper your using goes in top and then you can store like 4 rolls in the bottom compartment stacked on top of each other. i believe we got this at none other than walmart lol ours is white but if i remember right they had different colors.

What a perfect solution! I use baskets but yours is so much fancier and we could all use some fancy in our bathrooms!

I love it! I usually just have a roll sitting on the back of the toilet - not too pretty. I think I need to make a trip to Target ASAP!
