Timeless design toilet paper debate — over or under?

retro starburst toilet paper holderOoooooh, Kate just sent me a photo of her new, installed atomic starburst toilet paper holder — one of the last remaining stock from Rejuvenation’s current supplier. I thought it looked lovely but frankly, I found it very difficult to focus, as I was so OCD-alarmed that the toilet paper was hanging the wrong way. It needs to go OVER! Talk about a timeless design issue: What is your view on this  importante topic, dear readers? I invite you to vote and to comment, too.

After 15 years — 3,000 stories! — this site has entered a new stage. Today, my focus is on tracking down the latest products for retro remodels. I’m also working to keep existing resource stories up to date so the site remains a solid reference. And, I want to continue to improve the site as an historical reference. To make more time for this research, comments are now closed. Meanwhile: Dive in, there’s lots to read!

    I slightly squish/ push into both sides of my tp roll creating an oval in the cardboard center, before putting the on the dispenser. The inner ” ridges “stop the roll from unraveling too quickly to stop overzealous, kids, cats and mostly everyone from being too overzealous. And I can keep my top over configuration.
