After 6 years we finally decided to get the TP roll off the floor. This bathroom is so small that we were unsure of how to do it. We knew that a normal TP holder would not work because it would stick out too far and probably be ran into all the time. Which would correlate to bruised legs and the need to constantly reattach it to the wall.
We thought about having a floor stand like the master bath but it would need to be moved around depending if you needed to take a shower. In the end we decided to get a recessed one. We wanted a white ceramic holder but damn they are expensive ($60+). We found a nice white metal one at Home Depot for about $15.
Normally installing one would take about 15 minutes. Use a stud finder and then cut a hole in the drywall between the studs, no problem. However, as you are aware, our house is not normal. Can't find our studs with a stud finder, all you can do is guess. So I thought to place the holder in the middle below the window with the thought that the re-bar would be just outside the window frame. Of course I guessed wrong. I drilled my exploratory hole and sure enough, I hit re-bar. So unfortunately it is slightly off center. But hey, it's off the ground.

Hope it is within the reach.
That bathroom is so small I think you could reach if from almost anywhere. :)
I can't even use a stud finder. Keeps pointing at me. But, on to a serious note, $60 is expensive in a $750,000 house?
Shell, I had that problem too with the studfinders, I just reduced the setting down to moderately cool dude and it works like a charm. BTW, $60 toilet paper holder is expensive regardless of the house. I mean, it holds TP.
