What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toilet paper concealment system comprising a recessed enclosure and a cover, the recessed enclosure comprising a pair of roll bearings, aligned on interior surfaces of opposing lateral side walls, and a first pair of connecting elements extending along exterior surfaces of the opposing lateral side walls, the cover comprising second pair of connecting elements extending along interior surfaces of opposing lateral cover walls, wherein the first pair of connecting elements are adapted to interlock with the second pair of connecting elements. 
     
     
         2 . The toilet paper concealment system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first pair of connecting elements comprises grooves aligned on the exterior surfaces of the opposing lateral side walls of the recessed enclosure, and wherein the second pair of connecting elements comprises strips aligned on the interior surfaces of the opposing lateral cover walls of the cover. 
     
     
         3 . The toilet paper concealment system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first pair of connecting elements comprises strips aligned on the exterior surfaces of the opposing lateral side walls of the recessed enclosure, and wherein the second pair of connecting elements comprises grooves aligned on the interior surfaces of the opposing lateral cover walls of the cover. 
     
     
         4 . The toilet paper concealment system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a spring-loaded roller disposed between the pair of roll bearings.

 the recessed enclosure comprising
 a pair of holding channels adapted to cradle a spool, the spool being sized to be insertable through a roll of toilet paper, and 
 a first magnet; and 
   the cover comprising a second magnet cooperatively aligned with the second magnet and adapted to releasably secure the cover to the recessed enclosure when the at least one hinge is in a closed position.   
     
     
         6 . The toilet paper concealment system according to  claim 5 , wherein the recessed enclosure comprises at least one flange extending perpendicularly from at least one face of the recessed enclosure, wherein the at least one flange is adapted to contact a surface of a wall into which the toilet paper concealment system is mounted. 
     
     
         7 . The toilet paper concealment system according to  claim 6 , wherein the cover comprises an open bottom portion adapted to allow unrolled toilet paper to pass therethrough when the hinge is in the closed position.
