10 Easy Pieces: Toilet Paper Holders
British Arts and Crafts leader William Morris famously wrote, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” This dictum certainly applies in the bathroom, which could be a barren place if not outfitted properly. Yes, some of these rolls are expensive, but think how often they will be used over the course of a lifetime. Here are ten we love:
