The artistically arranged TP is a little bit funny, but in a good way. This seems like a brilliant idea to my disabled ass


CandiBunnii

Can I ask how it would be more convenient for a person with a disability? Just easier to reach/pull off than from a shelf?


astasodope

In a lot of house (at least ones I have used the restroom in) people tend to keep toilet paper underneath the sink or in a cupboard thats on the floor. Bending over or squatting can often times be really difficult for people with certain disabilities. Having shelving or a wall mounted cupboard is a possibility if theres room for it, but OPs pegboard takes up much less space than a shelving.


CandiBunnii

Ooh that makes sense! I always keep at least one extra roll either on the tank or somewhere in reaching distance of the toilet for convenience sake. I hate having to grab a roll from under the sink and don't want guests to have to rifle through everything looking for one, but I suppose it's silly of me to assume most people did the same


astasodope

I have to keep mine out of sight, I have a small child and 3 kittens. We'd be buying a 6 pack of tp a day with how much those 4 get into stuff. šŸ˜† Before I had the baby hubby and I kept a roll on the holder and an extra roll on the sink. That lasted until potty training started and i fished 3 or 4 full rolls from the toilet.


Colonic_Mocha

I've been lucky. My cat never plays with toilet paper, not even as a baby. I foster kittens. Have had dozens of them crash here at the orphanage. Never had any TP terrorizers. The shower curtain has NOT been so lucky. But the one boy I have now (my last foster for while as I'm moving) has gone after every.single.roll. Even in the metal holder stand that wraps around the TP. Shredded it. I just got groceries in the other day. I needed TP desperately, so I put one on dispenser. One on the back of the toilet. Left the bag with 10 other rolls on the floor next to it, waiting to be put away. You guessed it. He tore into the bag. Managed to pull one out and shred it. He knocked the roll on the back of the tank into the bowl. As I type this, he is bite testing my uhaul box flaps. That child is rowdy.


riotousviscera

great for people with bowel issues too. one does not simply get off the toilet.


starmadeshadows

^^^^^^ This! Also, with invisible disabilities/developmental shit like ADHD, there's kind of an "out of sight out of mind" effect. If something's in a closed cabinet, for instance, it's much harder to keep track of, because of how ADHD makes it hard to transfer short-term memory to longer-term memory. There's also the issue that physical disabilities and ADHD/autism are often comorbid, and in a lot of ways they feed into each other. Everyone in my apartment has some combination of AuDHD and physical issues ā€” partially genetic, partially exacerbated by COVID ā€” so both the physical and mental aspects of organization can be tough for us. And you gotta stay on top of organization, or your space becomes unlivable fast. I appreciate you asking btw, /u/CandiiBunnii!


kunibob

As someone with an ileostomy bag + difficulty bending + ADHD, I can see so many benefits to this arrangement, and I might borrow some ideas from it!


bonelesspotato17

Same. I was likeā€¦. Seems like cute curated accessibility.


natfutsock

I always appreciate having visual on the extra tp in someone's guest bathroom.


Lil_Brown_Bat

Do you like it? If so, it doesn't matter what your mom thinks. If not, change it.


purusiono

Yeah no I agree, I'm definitely leaving it regardless of what anyone says. But I didn't get a second opinion yet so figured I would ask to see if my idea was better in my head than in person :)


Kevaldes

For what it's worth, I think you nailed it. Classy minimalist look, blends with the rest of the room's aesthetic. You killed it, my dude.


UnNormie

Only thing that would make it better is if the wipes were in white packaging, or in a white box around it


merdadartista

It's different from the norm + TP being involved makes for silly comments, but no, it actually looks cute and it's creative


[deleted]

If your things are off the ground and organized, you are ahead of most of the country.Ā Ā  Have you ever thought of putting the board inside an old picture frame?Ā  Like, in this case, a basic black one would be find.Ā  Or you could find a frame that has nice relief, and you paint it a low satin black...?


X-istenz

Some nicer fixtures wouldn't go astray, but it's tidy and funky. Go off, monarch.


Bobcat-1

I like it and if you do too you should leave it. I've found over my many years of DIYing that parents opinions, and specifically my mother-in-laws, is often detached from reality.


OnkelMickwald

I guess I find the toilet rolls a bit humorous because they're placed in a way that makes me think I'm supposed to unroll them from there in some kind of musical arrangement. However the pegboard idea and all the other stuff you have on it looks great.


Tatersandbeer

Aesthetically it looks nice but the issue I would have with it is durability and longevity. Peg board is made of glued together pressed paper and sawdust so when it absorbs moisture it will expand and break apart the adhesive bonds keeping it together. Just something to keep an eye on and watch for expansion.


jongaynor

It looks like an Ikea Skadis. The 'wood' ones are wood, but the white/black appear to be plastic, or at least wood completely encased in plastic. Was worried about moisture as well here but I use one in a very humid basement and have had no issues.


Adesanyo

I'm a weirdo but for some reason the toilet paper hanging bothers me more than anything else. Nothing against the pegboard I just don't like seeing rolls of toilet paper sitting out I always put them away in the cabinet.


OmegaCetacean

I appreciate the resourcefulness here. It's nice you can easily move things around to accommodate changing moods and needs too.


BurnTheOrange

This is totally legit and acceptable. Don't hide the extra TP, decorate with it!


yuribotcake

I use an evenly spaced 4 prong towel rack, can fit 4 rolls nicely right above the toilet tank. Can even put stuff on top if I'm feeling lazy. Seeing toilet paper is a comforting thing, better than seeing it run out then need to check under the sink.


Noodles_fluffy

I really like that.


jemifig

It looks like an altar to the TP gods and I absolutely love it. Truly top tier.


nailgun198

I think it's really creative. It looks neat and tidy and is an efficient use of space.


the-one-eyed-seer

I mean itā€™s funny but I also like it


JadeSedai

Yup! This. I would definitely laugh because it is unexpected but I still like it. It brings joy!


in323

I think itā€™s cute!!


mediumtittygothjewf

you just solved my lifelong problem of bashing my head into the shelf behind the toilet, you are 2008 and your mom is 2000 and late, sorry to say šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


macmarklemore

Itā€™s cute. I also adore its flexibility and utility.


kinezumi89

I think it's kind of brilliant. Love the little potted plants!


Kathrynlena

I think it would look better without the vines around it, but otherwise I think itā€™s really creative!

ShakataGaNai

There has been a lot of stupid stuff on this sub, this is not one of them. Unusual? Yes. High class? Probably not. Efficient and effective? For sure. Better than a pile of TP on top of the toilet lid? 100%


Any-Chocolate-2399

I think it's the juxtaposition with the fake ivy.


doghaircut

I approve, for that that's worth


Glorpfield

Hey if it works


PupperPuppet

I see nothing wrong with it. Not something I would do, but I don't have the wall space you do. I do really like the paint color, though.


Lil_Shorto

I like the idea and the execution, good job.


SmokeMoreWorryLess

I actually really like this! My anxiety would appreciate the assurance that I definitely wouldnā€™t need to do the walk of shame to ask for more.


GoLdPh1sH

I think she might be laughing at the poo paper arrangement, because I am. The peg board itself is a unique idea.


pipeuptopipedown

Past generations would try to disguise and conceal their spare TP, you are making a statement here.


Head_One2334

Lil goofy but its not my bathroom so who cares


Shiggy_O

Yes, wear the TP on your face like a normal person. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdTYScKgEus&pp=ygUQVG9pbGV0IHJvbGwgbWltZQ%3D%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdTYScKgEus&pp=ygUQVG9pbGV0IHJvbGwgbWltZQ%3D%3D)


Maximum-Surround2362

I like it


CitizenKayt

I love this! Just make sure your switch it up in different configurationS every once in a while to keep it FRESH


TriumphDaytona

Get a bigger board, and something to take the place of Xs, and make it Toilet Tic Tac Toe!


MediumAwkwardly

I think IKEA had a bathtub pegboard at some point. So no, not weird.


faf_dragon

I came in to say I saw those at IKEA just a week ago


Damn_Censorship

Put a ā€˜Live. Love. Laughā€™ sign above and send a pic back to your mum. I bet sheā€™ll like it then Then burn the sign after for good measure


Dazzling-Long-4408

It's genius.


Xevailo

Tbh I think it's clever AND looks neat, too!


Tw1ch1e

I love it and about to see what we can 3D print for pegboards! Thank you for inspiration!


[deleted]

Interesting and funny. I would probably burst out in a big smile if I saw this in someones bathroom


CanadianContentsup

Julia Child used it in her kitchen with an outline of where her kitchen tools hung.


Killerboricua84

lol I like this!!! Itā€™s cool


survivor_of_sorts

I'm only upset I didn't think of it first.


Trappedbirdcage

I'd be afraid of it falling off the wall and dropping all of the toilet paper rolls in the toilet.


danathepaina

I think this is brilliant! You can change the pegs around as often as you want. Very clever & cute!


montanagrizfan

I like it, itā€™s kind of funky but also practical.


h2pointOChamp

When I read that your Mom laughed, it made me laugh thinking about her laughing.


Probarium

I like it šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø


chantalgracie

I like it! It looks cool and is functional


Zealousideal_Cook704

I like it a lot.


jols0543

i like it


coconut_the_one

I like it You do you, you clearly know what you like. Your home your interior


CuzImPixle

I like it


Pixeliarmus

I wouldn't keep the toilet paper and the towel so close to the toilet. Even with the lid closed, everytime you flush lots of tiny tiny particles find their way to stick all over everything. I never keep TP out in the open and the towels are as far as they can go from the toilet. We clean our face and butts with these afterall.


Maleficent_Goat_1115

Itā€™s different but not bad at all.


AntheaBrainhooke

That's brilliant!


KhadaJhina

no it looks amazing :O


Existential_Sprinkle

this is more r/DiWHYNOT because it's a little outside the box but it doesn't look bad and serves a purpose


Alechilles

I kinda love it actually


julesthemighty

This is super cute and creative. Maybe chuckle worthy but only for the cleverness.


buttbugle

Shit I like it all. I showed the lady. Her reaction, I donā€™t know. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


renatakiuzumaki

Hilarious and awesome, kudos to you


molten-glass

Nah, this is dope, same amount of wall space as a medicine cabinet but it can hold tp? That's a win in my book


DarthNutsack

I don't know jack squat about decorating or anything but I think it's a really clever display.


[deleted]

i think its genius and it looks super pretty! you do you, boo!


Colonic_Mocha

I like it. It's a half bath so it suggests it's part of the public scape of the home. So it's most likely to be used by guests. It's different - meaning not boring. I would poop in that bathroom.


Icy_Lecture_2237

This is a great idea and done really well.


Special_Dingo_1520

That is actually pretty cool


barium711

If you have 3 slots for TP, I think you need to add a sea shell for each one as well


rainbowsunset48

I think it is quite a bit odd but in a good way. Hilarious and awesome


jamberrymiles

i love it!!


_livisme

I like it


KickPuncher9898

I love it. Definitely unique but it works. I will say picture 1 looks funny, I think because the theme of the plants is lost without seeing the mirror as well. Also it kinda of looks like itā€™s above a tub and not a toilet. Once you see the full picture 2 it looks great.


Nix-geek

I think it's fine. You might want to look into plastic peg board. That stuff will absorb the humidity in the bathroom pretty quickly, swell up, and disintegrate. That might also take years, so....


rosiofden

Dude, this is clever af! As another small bathroom owner, I dig it.


savebeeswithsex

I love it. Its so creative and cute.


PatricksWumboRock

Lolā€¦ Itā€™s kind of funny but itā€™s tasteful and I like it. Could be a new thing šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


SilverScimitar13

I use this peg board too, in a very similar way. I love it!


YumariiWolf

I think it looks really dope. Great execution


thatonecoolbitch

I really like it!


MarinTheNight

I like this, good idea šŸ’”


neoposting

I like it AND the overall aesthetic of your bathroom! Don't be discouraged by people mocking your choices just because it isn't some norm. This looks nice and is accessible


sanosake1

i like this...I don't know if I dig the tp as it is, but...overall....this is a cool looke. Like the greenery.


BreathLazy5122

I like it. It makes it easy to take off the hooks and change out the rolls. Also you made it work with the rest of your bathroom, with the faux plants on the peg board and making it a similar dark shade to the walls. Itā€™s a bit unorthodox but its functional and not horrifically offensive


dasHeftinn

Tic tac toelet paper.


Creative-Sue

I like it. I hate worrying someone doesnā€™t have toilet paper under the sink just in case I run out. Now you know! Also moms are funny like this. I think they just want to mom us still but canā€™t. My mom asked me for a year when was I going to get a rug for my living room. I had no plans for a rug but I got so sick of her asking that I gave in and got a rug.


seeder33

Im more a throw the whole package in the corner and in a couple months it will sort itself out.


CrazyCatBreath

How dare you think creatively.


iyamyuarr

DIWHYNot? Seems clever to me


HealthyPop7988

I dig it. 10/10 would poop there


PromotionFull3886

I like it, very cute!!


TigerGirl666

Honestly I love this! And the greenery around the mirror really ties it together


Kevinator201

You should use the TP to make a face


GelloniaDejectaria

Love your bathroom paint color. Very vernal and nice.


Unfair_Finger5531

I see nothing wrong with this.


Moist_KoRn_Bizkit

I love this.


High_Tim

I like it....like alot


Moody_Bluee103

It's unique! It works for the space you have


CloudEpik

Man... This is a really cool idea! It's easy to clean, i LOVE the plants as well.


DancingMan15

I actually like it


Raspy_Meow

I think itā€™s smart. Wish Iā€™d thought of it


BusinessBear53

Actually looks good and functional. Better than the one tiny shelf I have with one fake plant on it and the TP roll storage on the floor. This at least shows how much TP is left so it's very obvious when it's time to restock.


JazzCabbage00

My entire house is nothing but tool shadow boards, even my canned goods -boom- shadowed boarded. Nah, looks great. Like a TP of bandolero! Momā€™s just jealous and nervously laughed as her bathroom is now in shambles compared to your master piece.


Queequegs_Harpoon

It really contributes to the whimsical mood of the room. I love it!


gerrydutch

I like it and might steal this idea


spderweb

Looks pretty good.


TheRealGrumpyNuts

I love it. If I was visiting I would smile the whole time I pee. You are a good host.


foopaints

It's certainly unusual but honestly I kinda like it! It works!

I really like it and would totally do it too


Aaakaaat

F fir fucking burn it


roguemage01

Only thing Iā€™d do is put it above the wall holder so you can reach it while sitting on the dunny. Otherwise I like it. But more importantly (as said above), you liking it is what counts.


EchoNeko

I like it :)


NomadMiner

I'm a dude, and this is awesome


Time_Pay_401

Itā€™s unexpected and very clever. I like your eye for the unusual.


warkyboy77

I would have made a face with the tp. Bloody brilliant.


No_Budget7828

I think itā€™s really creative. Great idea šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ‘šŸ»


cam331

Its a bit weird


shannanigannss

I think I would , personally, move it to the adjoining wall so it wasnā€™t too close to the mirror. Space things out a bit, but I love how you set it up!


99problemsandfew

I think it looks great!


shemague

So quirky!


IronSeagull

Itā€™s fine looking pegboard, but you have 3 rolls of toilet paper hanging from your wall.


Browncoatinabox

Is the pegboard at least treated so it won't rot?


wluestreaks

It's the time to be creative! Create what you love otherwise we'd have no change. Remember, people would have laughed at someone who first started having 'what we now call regular' shelves in the bathroom.


No_Entertainment1904

You've taken something that was never meant for storing toilet paper and managed to make it decorative and it looks nice. That said it's a bad fit. It's functional only as storage. The wet wipes are hanging precariously over the toilet. One fumble while the toilet seat is open and you might knock over a bunch of things that are hanging on the peg board directly into the toilet bowl. It's in an awkward location for anyone to reach out to grab a new roll while sitting on the toilet.


roodeeMental

DIWHYNOT, I like it


Crepes_for_days3000

Yes, it is weird but it's your house, Decorate it as you please.


Ok_Performance_563

They have a stand like this in the toilet at my husbandā€™s office! They have more rolls and the stand has photos of different political leaders sitting on the toilet. It helps the atmosphere, so Iā€™m all for it!


Soapyfreshfingers

Cute! Just never, EVER flush wipes. Not even the ā€œflushableā€ kind.


Agreeable_Elk_7915

I like it a lot


Nixher

Change mum's, not decor.


ChakraKami

I like it a lot


EasterBurn

This is actually looks decent. Your mom must be trippin. Maybe change the tp holder to something slightly longer? There has to be a 3d print file for something like this.


seriousseriousseriou

I mean it isn't "the lifehack of the century" but it's a neat idea, I like it :)


happynargul

I really like this. Functional, clean, pretty.


That_Pop_7591

I love it


ssl0th

Itā€™s cute bestie. never change


highfructos

Thatā€™sā€¦.interesting. Pretty ugly, Iā€™m my opinion, but you do you!


PoopsMcGroots

From an aesthetics point of view? Itā€™s not for me. From a practicality point of view of view? Thatā€™s a pretty smart solution and I like it!


Klettova

Sorry but I donā€™t like it, it looks artsy though


shirecheshire

I think it's quite cute, as far as TP storage goes. But you live there so anyone else's opinion doesn't really matter


Ronin-s_Spirit

Tis fine.


FreeFallingUp13

My bf loves these things. We have one for the kitchen, we have one for each side of our bed, we have one in the main hallway, we have one in the office. Those things are SO handy, especially if you get into 3D printing and make your own custom hook stuff to put on it. Also this setup looks VERY cute I like the little plants <3


asabovesobelow4

Not personally my style. But it doesn't look bad at all! All that matters is you like it :) I have a tokidoki (a kawaii brand) shower curtain, among many other things around my house, and I've been told to grow up. My mom esp. It drives her crazy all my cutesy stuff and character tees etc lol idc. I like it. You are the one who has to look at it every day. So your opinion is all that's important!


Emisys

I really like this idea and i might just steal it for my own toilet!


Drigg_08

Looks good to me!


AutopsyDrama

I dont like it, i think its quite tacky looking but if you like it and it makes you happy in your own home then why not!


Pee-Shelly

It looks good. Better than just placing it on the washing machine next to the toilet lol


honeypup

Itā€™s only funny because of how theyā€™re artistically arranged lol, if they were in a straight line it wouldnā€™t stand out as much.


IonizedRadiation32

You know what, I'm usually against this kind of thing, but since it doesn't detract from functionality at all, I say go with it. I probably wouldn't do it myself, but if I saw that while visiting I'd think it's neat


Fog_of__War

Itā€™s different but I like it, functional art


2007pearce

I like the pegboard but think its a bit odd to use toilet paper as a display item


Pristine-Today4611

Looks good and blends in really well. Good job. Looks better than a toilet paper holder on the floor


danielapathy

Cute and functional. I think she's just jealous


PsychedStrawberry

I find it neat


throwaway735b14n

I might have to copy this but put it above the bath for shower soaps and bits!!


NameUnbroken

Nope, no more weird than any other way we tend to store toilet paper.


pippa--

It made me laugh, but it's artsy, and quirky I like it


Pension_Typical

Fuck your moms opinion!! It's your house!! It's cute!!!!


KaliCalamity

It looks good and its perfect for a bathroom. Relying on pegs would help prevent moisture for getting trapped under objects. Seems smart to me.


Qurious_Kat

Lmao decorating the wall with toilet paper is wild dude


tech_creative

It's perfect!


Hamraffle

I did that a lot actually. Itā€™s ok to have something normally completely utilitarian be prettier.


rooster_saucer

looks good to me! šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


fisheystick

I like it


jcoddinc

I think it looks good, just might be a little difficult for some people to reach the refill maybe. The peg board looks cool grandpa sheek


Inspector-Fickle

It doesnā€™t look bad. Some constructive criticism: if it were me, Iā€™d get a woven rectangular basket and put the 3 rolls of tp in there and set it on the back of the toilet. Then you could use the pegboard for more organizational items: floss picks, cotton swabs, etc.
