wherein the base rear wall includes a pair of inverted keyholes for mounting the tissue cover dispenser to a wall;
a cover consisting of:
a curved cover top wall extending from a top of the base rear wall to a front region of the base bottom wall;
a cover first side wall extending downward from a first lateral edge of the cover top wall; and,
a cover second side wall extending downward from a second lateral edge of the cover top wall and flanking the base; and,
wherein the cover first side wall includes a first cover aperture and the cover second side wall includes a second cover aperture;
a first cover peg disposed on an interior top rear corner of the base first side wall and a second cover peg disposed on an interior top rear corner of the base second side wall; and,
wherein the first cover aperture and the second cover aperture pivotably engage the first cover peg and the second cover peg, respectively, to couple the cover to the base;
a spring-loaded toilet paper holder consisting of:
a first portion slidably received within a second portion and biased outward by an internal spring; and,
wherein a first end of the first portion is received within a first centering well in the base first side wall and a second end of the second portion is received within a second centering well in the base second side wall such that a roll of toilet paper is rotatably supported within the base;
a brush fixed to a front region of the base bottom wall,
