apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

all on the roll the wrong way hahaha see past post

why???????????????????????????????

i love multiples!

kind of tacky

That is awesome! And cheap since it uses the very nice Ikea holders...

I can just imagine a small boy taking them all out during a little target practice :-)

That's just wrong

Definite practical joke material! Though you'd have to be game for completely removing (and possibly respackling and painting) everything afterwards, at some point.

I think it's a fun idea actually. I would have used more modern holders though, like chrome. Or it might look good if they were white, so you had white holders, white TP and white walls. That could look cool.

Cats . . . Nooooooo.

I love it. And, from experience (on the toilet in the image), I can say it is great to look up and realize you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Perhaps you should position the photo as art and title it "colitis"?

I love it, hilarious!

lol!

All those rolls need the neat little folded hotel points!

The funniest thing I have seen all day.

Practical solution for an octopus.

I just know I'd let them all go empty before I refilled any of them, and I'd still be sitting there without toilet paper.

my thoughts exactly, xburb. i don't think i'd have enough time to clean up that cat disaster!

anyone else reminded of those Mummenschanz people?!?

Echo-ing the sentiment on the cat thing...this is clearly a bad idea. But if there are no cats around, what's the harm? it certainly frees up precious bathroom closet space.

No. No. No.

I can just imagine sitting on the toilet thinking, "Don't worry; be happy"! But seriously ... half the rolls would be dusty by the time you got to them, which is why folks keep them covered.

I'm with PlanItGirl about loving multiples, and I agree with st@cy about how those particular holders don't quite make it graphically (at least for me).

I think that in the right bathroom, this could not just be fun and cute, but literally beautiful, which is a wild thought, itself.

Yup, new cat toy.

i have seen it before in much more elegant and artistic interpretation. clean lines, minimal chrome holders on the pale blue wall with paper slightly pulled down, which created breezy effect. as for this one - those holders just are awful as a single piece. multiples of them magnified how horrible they are. Also that installation idea looks better on the opposite wall of the toilet, proving artistic, not utilitarian concept.

Love the multiples. Cat toy for my three cats - my kids don't play with the toliet paper. (o.k. now that I've said that watch the games begin). There's nothing wrong with the wooden holders, they were probably just tryng to purchase multiles without going into debt. I guess another option would be to use colored tp on random holders -- you know, the pastels, yellow, pink and green. I just wished they'd put the toliet seat down then took the picture!

I have seen this in many a pub!

What a waste of valuable wall space. And the rolls are all backwards! AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

I think some people miss the point...it's ART! I love it!

Would look best with different colored toilet paper on each.

its a funny and whimsical idea. maybe the concept would land a little better if it was more artistically executed? either way, I like it.

If your design choices are a form of self-expression then this tells the world that you take your @ss-wiping very seriously, which, I suppose, is pretty funny.

I've seen this at a bunch of loft parties and its even worse in person.

My grandmother would die of delight. Of course, she grew up in the Depression when they wiped with produce wrappers, so obviously she grew to have a TP fetish. Excusable. I did NOT grow up in the Depression and I might just die of delight too. Love it.

am i the only one whose cat doesn't go for TP??

(")_(")

In my house, I think I'm the only one who will ever actually replace an empty roll of toilet paper. After they ran through the other eleven rolls, there would only be one roll on one dispenser, cause I'll be darned if I'm replacing all twelve.

this is quite lovely just because the rolls are on correctly! LMAO i feel vindicated.

The thing that annoys me most about this is not how many rolls there are but that all of them are on the holders backwards! ARGH!! That really grinds my gears. I usually change the tissue roll in someone's house if it's on backwards...this would take me forever.

P.S. My cat tried to go for the TP thing, ONCE. She won't touch it now. LOL.

Wow, that's just... tacky. Maybe if they were nicer holders... or placed in a pattern (not just on a grid)...

Actually, in the powder room, this might be fun. But I'd use all different kinds of holders in a wide range of styles. That way if you found one you really liked, you could add it to the display.

They're all facing the wrong direction.

It works for summer camp, maybe.
