You have all been so helpful. The comments about the protrusion have helped me identify what was wrong with the photo in my first post. I will have to shorten it, even though it won't change the location of the tp holder much. I like the look of the wall with the vanity though. It seems to enclose it like a mini-alcove. Maybe smaller can be thought of as cozier, mdln?
Dominos, thank you for posting that photo! That wall is a little taller and allows you to put the outlet in the wall instead of in the tile. I plan to tile the backsplash instead of using the counter material. That's basically our vanity too, so that's a great example.
Here's another photo with a short wall. It'd be nice to move our shower controls off the wall behind the toilet and into a half wall. This tiled wall is little too long imo. They could have tiled the wall between the vanity and toilet and continued it as the backsplash. I think I'd like that better.
