Familiar question! My preference is to have it on a side wall next to the toilet, if there is a wall to put it on. I like it best in line with or just forward of my knee and about waist high when sitting. I find that makes it easiest to reach for the TP without learning or twisting (something I cannot do because of herniated disks). HOWEVER, we just redid the guest bathroom and I must have been asleep at the wheel when the architect specified the vanity size. The toilet is on a long wall between the vanity and the tub. There is about 21" between the vanity and the toilet and a little more to the tub. My options for the TP holder are (1) on the back wall behind the toilet, (2) on the side of the vanity and (3) opposite the toilet - about 3 foot span - on the wall where the towel bars are going. None of these are good options for someone who can't twist and reach and especially not for a child who, I think, might fall off the toilet just trying to reach! Had I been alert, I would have made the vanity longer than the 36" it is and mounted the holder on the side of the vanity, closer to the toilet. This is still not ideal because the vanity is only 21" deep and the toilet comes out beyond that so there would still be twisting to reach. I am reluctant to use a free-standing holder because the ones I have seen in peoples' homes look cheap and often seem to rust. Any ideas?

This tends to be something I am really looking for when I move, which I haven't done in about two years, but... I have always been able to find it at large discount dept. stores - Target, Meijers, (I'm not a WalMart fan, but I would assume they have it too), etc... When I moved into my current home, I had picked out a bunch of generic shelf liner paper in the regular aisle only to find several rolls of the soft rubber basket weave-y shelf liner stuff in the clearance aisle. It was cheaper than the stick-on paper and easier to install. So, I would definitely recommend taking a tour of the back wall and not just the home section when you go.

Do you mean the actual storage boxes or the cubes? The boxes are available at places like the Container Store or Storables and often at office supply stores and places like Home Goods, but with less of a selection. Cube storage systems are available just about anywhere!!

I was thinking the same thing too...plus I purchased the plant with a group of 3 other mother of millions plants. But looks like a totally different kind of plant than the other 3. I was hoping it was one that produces pups on leaves but doesn't have any signs of growing any and it seems to be sprouting new growth looks like a new branch from the stem( that is not in photo) thank you for your feedback
