Roundup: Bathroom Magazine Racks

09-19magrack01.jpegIn our recent post about our updated bathroom shelving, a reader noticed our toilet paper holder, which does double duty as a magazine rack. We know that not everyone is a fan of a magazine rack in the bathroom, but we've always found it handy. After the jump, we offer a few other options to hold reading material in your lavatory.

With the exeption of the one that mounts on the toilet, these look nice enough...

..but there's nothing more annoying than a bathroom that has the TP holder mounted the same wall that the toilet is on so that you have to twist around to get the paper.

I am a strong believer in bathroom reading. However, I just end up with a stack of magazines on the tank. Classy.

I'm going to paint my 1/2 bath a rich chocolate brown (toilet, cabinet sink are all white) and I'm thinking about getting this one to go on the wall right in front of the toilet: http://www.organize.com/magazineboard-sand-mocha.html

Yeah, I ended up doing this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/solaana/1635771722/in/set-72157600961733032/
using that umbra magazine rack. The door faces the toilet, so it works perfectly.

sitting on a commode for extended periods can lead to hemorrhoids. hit it and quit it, folks.

I am a bathroom reader and want the rack really bad.
The silver does not match our color scheme, however
I will wait till somebody makes non-silver rack...

Reading in the bathroom totally grosses me out. Bathrooms just gross me out.

LadyJ, not everyone is as, ah, gifted in the bathroom as you and I. Some folks have to let nature take its (sometimes) slow course.

I find any reminder of other peoples' necessary biological processes to be disconcerting.
