I have learned to lean, and I love it…….
….maybe because I have rented for so long and fear of damaging a wall I have leaned pictures and mirrors against the wall instead of hanging them. It could also be a lack of furniture. As an expat living overseas living in a rented space could mean you do not have much furniture. I have come to love this look of creating a *vignettes to display my favorite things, things I feel define who I am.
This is a great way to add layers of interest to your home. A *vignettes can tell a story, have a common collection or just be things that are important to you. Try it, you will be surprised how it makes your home feel.
Wishing you a happy home,
Expat State of Mind

Welcome back…glad to see you are creating again.
I love this.
Wonderful ideas, very effective in making a house a home, no matter where you live. I relate so well, having rented for many years while my family were growing up.
Welcome back 🙂
