I've always hated any kind of fabric, carpeting, or rugs in a bathroom...

Had wall to wall carpeting in their bathroom. Ugh. Supposedly because linoleum was “too cold to walk on.”

I’ve also known people who had wall to wall carpeting in their kitchen. Another ugh.

I didn't tell her what it was. She said, "Yeah, it's a toilet paper holder. We had a couple in our house growing up. I must be old 'cause I haven't seen one in years."

It was beside her bed on a table. She didn't use it in the bathroom I guess.

with something fuzzy. I don't think we ever had a TP roll cover like that, though I remember seeing them in other people's bathrooms; but we did have a toilet lid cover and a rug shaped to fit around the base of the toilet. All of these things were unsanitary, but no well-appointed '60s-'70s bathroom could be without them.

I don't remember those (were those something usually sold, or handmade?) but I remember those plastic elves in felt clothes that were kind of similar. Their arms were a loop and they came with laundry detergent IIRC, their arms wrapped around the bottles. Their labels said "filled with excelsior."
