The little things

Before we bought it, out house had been remodeled but not lived in since. So it was finished, but not really finished. Little things were missing: cabinet pulls, towel rods, stuff that you need to have but you wouldn't necessarily need to have right away.

Most toilet paper holders have a spring-loaded center like this:

but I've found that having to deal with that little contraption leads, all too often, to an empty roll on the holder with the full roll sitting forlornly on the counter.

We went with this one instead:

The trick? It pivots on one end, so you can put a new roll on with one hand. It's a little thing, and a little silly even to put much thought into, but I love this toilet paper holder!
