TP Holder

16 years ago

DH made me one!!! It is scrap wood, 3/4"plywood that was kickin' around, so it's gonna be a heavy bugger!!lol! It is 29" tall and holds 6 double size rolls! Already told DH it is a proto type! I would like another one for our place but want it made of 1/4" or 1/2" plywood and have a window in the door but am luvin' this one!!! AND DH (Husbank?lol) blew my socks off tonight by asking me what I'd want cuz I can't have both: Updated bathrooms(sinks,tub,toilets)OR A STUDIO!!!!! Built off the side of the house(Klinger's idea)Would be giving up a 20ftx13ft deck...NO BRAINER!!!! Well, it's still in the discussion stage, gotta see how much moola and the feasebility, but WOW!! Imagine....How am I ever gonna sleep tonight.....till it's built....till I walk into it and play....Oh my, I'd have to be good for the rest of my life!!!! What a delectable dangling carrot!!! Oh sheesh!La La Land! Here's the pic of the tp holder!

Love this!

Jane
Can I get the measurements on this? If so, think I will get my Dad to make one for me to do for his potty. Great way for he and I to do another project together, and have his TP handy for him. ~: )

All my hardware (robe hooks, tp holder, towel ring, drawer pulls/knobs came from RusticWare. I have the Riverside collection in oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel. Ordered from a local specialty door and cabinet hardware store. Here is a link that might be useful: RusticWare

That looks like it holds a tissue box. Are you looking for something similar designed to hold a TP roll? Planning to just put a TP roll in that spot? Use it for a tissue box but store additional TP below? The item you have shown looks like a craft fair or Etsy kind of find rather than a regular store purchase. If you wanted a plain one or something you painted/decorated yourself, it looks like a standard small tower cabinet you might buy unfinished at Michael's or Hobby Lobby with an oval cut into the top.

TP holder in small space - recess in vanity?
Q
Comments (0)
I am looking for a way to recess the toilet paper holder in the vanity side that faces the toilet. This is a link to a source for recessed toilet paper holders available in wood and simple installation instructions are included assuming it's recessed in drywall. Would this work in a cabinet wall? I am not handy at all and I appreciate everyone's help and advice. Here is a link that might be useful: example of a recessed toilet paper holder

Janey, I love the TP holder. Wow, what exciting choices! That would be a tough choice but sounds like you've made it. Will be exciting to watch your WIP.

Oh, girlie, you made the right choice for SURE. I'm so happy for you. That TP holder - he whipped that puppy out in a hurry. He's so good to you. I could build one of those for myself, if I could get to the end of the line on some necessities around here. W/be a very functional piece, and what fun to do a flat surface for a change.

I think an ideal tp tower would be 28" tall and 6" wide and 6" deep and the door cut 1/2 higher from the base so the base can be mosaiced also, this door is right to the bottom so I have to paint the base. And I would make it out of nothing bigger than 1x6's, except for a base that would be 1" bigger than the tower. Here is how mine looks...

How lucky are you??!!
First that you hubby built a prototype....my hubby would
never do it twice!

Then the STUDIO!!! WOW!
I'd love to be able to do that. Right now I'm using the 3rd
bedroom, and DD 20, wants to come back home for a while, so
I'll be giving up mine. I won't be taking the counters and cabinets out, she'll have to make do. I bet you didn't sleep
well at all! Too cool!! Lucky girl!

Wow, I could REALLY use one in my downstairs Bathroom. I clipped the sizes. Of course, I'd have to do it myself, but it is doable (unless I run into one cheap somewhere)

when you first described it, I was thinking I have one, just like it..
and it turns out that's the case.
only difference is that the door is all the way over the whole
thing and there's a half moon cutout on the front of it.

the only thing I ever did it with it, so far..has been to paint it all black in preparation for mosaic pieces.
like all other projects...it sits and waits.

I was fully prepared to make my own tower, but glad hubby did it as mine would be slapped together, I am NOT a perfectionist with saws!!lol! I am hoping to surprise DH with a sliding compound mitre saw for Christmas (to do more stuff for me!!!)Too Much: Studio cost is probably more than double so I would only be able to get it to a certain point for a while, but if it gets started, it'll be more likely to get done!

Hey the tp tower looks great! Kudos to DH! Looks like it could withstand an Arkansas tornado! :) Even the one I have I have wished was on casters. I'll bet you could put casters on yours no problem, and that would raise it up off the floor so you could mosaic it, I think? Keep us posted!

I have a shed/studio 18x20 and a bedroom/studio 8x10, but the indoor one is too small, and the outdoor one is cold/ just good during the summer. This studio would be big and insulated/heated and and and.....I'm painting a sandwich sign I bought for $2 a while back, to see if I can start selling some garden art for Christmas gifts and such. Plan to set it at the end of my driveway and see if I get any nibbles!!! All a work in progress... gotta sand and prime the tp tower too, have picked out some "stuff" to get an idea of what I'll do mosaic wise on it.
