Be Vain
We all have that one spot in the house where we just end up dumping things that we’re either too lazy to put back in their original place or that we don’t have space for. It is usually a chair or a window ledge but for this OP, it was the vanity corner. Eventually, it got to the point where they couldn’t even use the corner.
The key to making sure this never happens is to, first of all, make sure everything has an assigned spot. The OP eventually put the shoes on a shoe rack and the bags in the closet. They bought a two-tier stand to hold some stuff and products they didn’t need were given away. Also, they added a cute little wicker chair to make that space usable again.
