A fabulously kitschy piece of shell art that involves a plastic mermaid and a candle with shells imbedded in it. I'm not even kidding.

Nothing in the three bathrooms that have space for an extra toilet paper roll nearby (vanity cabinet or linen closet). But in the master bath, the toilet is in a separate room so I do keep an extra roll on the back.

Nothing. The way the vanities are built, a mirror runs all across the wall. To one side is the sink and cabinets, the other side is the toilet. But the marble (or marble-like) top for the sink extends over across the back of the toilet. I can barely get the lid off. So, note to people designing bathrooms: blocking in the toilet tank like that is a real PITA, especially when the clorox tab gets stuck under the stopper. It requires a contortionist, or your good kitchen utensils, to knock that sucker back out of the way so your toilet stops running. I have seen that design on some of the house hunter shows. It must be common in some areas. My first thought when looking at any kind of home/appliance design is 'Can I easily clean this?' Obviously designed by a person who never cleaned anything in their life! |

essential oil toilet bowl spray Oooohhhh! Pretty! I want some Poo-Pourri now! We have sprays at work. The front bathrooms often smell like a giant #2. One of our male teachers walked out and said, "Now it smells like apple and pooh." Whenever I see a bathroom spray I always add "and pooh" to the title. |

You spray them in the toilet bowl before you start going. They really, really work! |

I have a metal box that holds two boxes of tampons and any other "girl supplies" I might need. It has a lid.

the only thing on the toilet tank in our bathroom is a box of tissues. And the lids on our toilets are kept closed to keep the cats out of them...

I'm a germophobe. We flush with the lid closed. In the half bath we keep a decorative can w/lid that has a spare roll of t.p. in it. In the kid's bathroom, which is decorated with a beach theme, we have a decorative planter. It was intended for a floral arrangement, but I keep a spare roll of t.p. in it. The t.p. I buy is wrapped in paper. I have never seen droplets of water on the paper wrapper, so I do not feel too concerned about germ issues. With the toilet lid closed, the spray cannot go up and backward like it might with a lid open flush.
Master bath has nothing decorative on the back of the toilet. Yet.

I try to keep them closed because I think the corgi would drown himself trying to drink. |

We have 3 bathrooms and the only one with anything on the toilet tank is an air freshener in the kid's bathroom. Their bathroom is two rooms, with the toilet & tub are in one and a double sink vanity in the other so the only place for the air freshener is on the toilet tank or floor.

We had that ledge before - it must have been a builder trend circa 1978!
I used to keep tissues on top of tank, but after all the info about flying toilet debris it grosses me out. Don't really want any of that up my nose...
I keep a small houseplant in guest powder room. It has great light. Others are empty, or have flushable wipes.

On the powder room one there's a fragrance thingie. Upstairs, the master bath toilet has a button on top of the tank as the flusher so there's nothing there. Besides, one of the cats likes to get on top of the tank and put his paws on my shoulders. Wouldn't want to inconvenience him by having some doo-dad in his way........... Fortunately, his weight is not enough to activate the flusher, unlike when one of them walks across the Roomba and sends it whizzing around the house.
ETA: We close the lids before flushing so don't worry about spray.

In the main/guest bath I keep a candle holder that holds votive size candles and a holiday decoration (whatever the current holiday is). I'm not worried about germs. No one is manhandling the items.  Master bath HAD (my husband broke it last night!!) a ceramic basket that held his man lotions. I was bummed that he broke it. I bought it from some potters about 30 years ago. It was unique and cool. I need to get a replacement so that I have something to contain his clutter in. |

Nothing in the main bathroom. In the master bathroom, an over the toilet organizer. It is a very small bathroom with enough room for a single sink, toilet, and tub. There's not much storage under the sink.

My girls bathroom has nothing...that I know of. Half bath is DH's throne room has Poo-pouri (not that he ever uses it), reading material, and a sudoku book, master bath has my bluetooth speaker so I can listen to music when I'm in the bathroom.

Air freshener in both bathrooms although I also have Poo Pourri in both bathrooms, just not on the top of the tank. That stuff really works!

Dust.
Our tank lids are a little curved so I never put anything on them.

I actually have a wroght iron stand behind my commode. On it, it holds extra toilet paper, wet wipes, clorox wipes, a box of liners, lysol spray, and extra bottles of shampoo/condition/body wash I might have. And it's just me in the home, and I do put my lid down before flushing. Now, I've a question for those that have a box of tissues on the back of their toilet. Do you use the tissues on your face to blow your nose? I have a box of tissues in my bathroom near the sink, but in my bathroom, the sink is about 7 feet away from the toilet. LOL! And the toilet is in a little alcove. And I keep the lid down. The reason I was wondering leads back to the thread about blowing your nose in the shower. LOL! So many Peas said they would not, but use a tissue. And I wondered where they kept that tissue...near the toilet? Where it might be covered with toilet spray? And they put it up to their face? And they would rather do that than blow their nose in the shower where that runs into the drain anyway? Anyway, that was just something that troubled me about that whole drama filled thread. LOL! I have a box of tissues on the back of the toilet in my powder room. Nothing in the other two bathrooms. I do use the tissues on occasion in the powder room and I don't really worry about the germs. I was grossed out by the "do you blow your nose in the shower?" thread. However, for me it was because the person posting said she blew her nose into her hand and then let it run down the drain. I'm not a big fan of snot on my hands. I guess I can convince myself that no dirty toilet water splashed into my Kleenex box, but a big wad of snot on my hands is a little harder to not see. ETA I do know that it is irrational to think that way. But in my happy little imaginary world, that is how it is and I am sticking with it. |

Nothing. I guess I'm the only one who has 2 buttons on the top of the lid for flushing. Anything on the lid would be in the way.
