Here is your challenge. OPEN the doors of your bathroom cabinet (or cabinets, as the case may be) and take a picture. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED to move anything out or put anything in. Don’t straighten anything. Don’t tidy up. If a product is backwards, leave it there - if it is tilted, keep it tilted (that was already covered with “Don’t straighten anything”, but just in case you weren’t paying attention).

It may be a mess - maybe not.

This is based on the honor system.

Upload to Flickr (or to your personal server pocket in the sky and send me the direct link or blog link). I’ll link to everyone’s or hey, maybe we’ll start a Flickr group. WHY THE HECK NOT?!

Oh, and if on Flickr - tag it “what’s under your bathroom sink” and make special notes to all of us bathroom cabinet voyeurs to read. Click thru on mine for an example.

This post was inspired by Danny Seo’s Medicine Cabinet. Which, in my opinion, WAS straightened, but nonetheless is way cool and made me look at glass tumblers differently.

   [...] To combat the perfectionism we see online, I humbly submit my Honest Photography photo album for your perusal. The bathroom cabinet shot was taken especially for Heather’s meme. [...]

   Awwww, crap. I might have to do this. Not making any promises, though.

3. OMSH

   If you do DO it, let me know!

   HA! I’m so getting in on this one. I just wrote Krissy the other day about how I love to see what’s under people’s bathroom sinks. I’ll let you know when I get mine up!

   Weeeee! Michele do it, do it, DO IT! I shall knight (knightess?) you Voyeurette!

   All of our sinks are pedestal. So nothing to photograph, except the sink, but that is way boring.

7. OMSH

   Chris - hmmmm … okay fine, lift your toilet seat and take a picture.

   Maybe not? I will tell you I WILL NOT do that right now. :) Eewwww.

   [...] Heather issued the challenge: post a picture of the cabinet under the bathroom sink. Don’t straighten anything up at all, just snap and post. So that’s what I’ve done. [...]

   This just might be the motivator to get me to throw away some of those items and organize that space. Got anything on OrganizeHer you’d recommend? ;-)

    AHA! Why yes, I WILL JILL. (I’ve wanted to say that forever … I WILL JILL!)

    Thanks for sharing - must go comment on the various non-face-reddening products.

    [...] Via the lovely Jessica at Kerflop, I found Oh My Stinkin’ Heck, who started a fun Flickr thingy to do whereby you open your cupboards under the bathroom sink, and take a picture without straightening anything. Fun huh? [...]

    oh, I soooooo want to do this… BUT my friends and family check my Flickr account often and I would be so embarrassed for them all to see the mess. I will ponder this for a while…but I really want to do it… ;)

    Kristin SET YOURSELF FREE … you are, as I’m sure they would agree, entitled to your own bathroom sink messdom. *grin*
