Decorating with Heirlooms: Vintage Scale

I love finding old, rusty items and adding them to our fresh new decor. When they come from my family’s past, it makes it even better!

Any vintage heirlooms that are passed on to us holds a special place in my heart.  Not only are they beautiful pieces I display, but they also hold a sentimental spot in my heart.  Every time I look at an heirloom, I cherish the memory of where it came from and it’s significance in my home. 

Rummaging through my in-laws attic, my husband came across this beauty.

Vintage green, rusty and chippy.

I was instantly in love!

On top, I placed fruit in my Munising Wooden Bowl (which I found at an estate sale for $5).

Daisy Mae Belle found her scale at an antique booth.  I love that is says “Old Kentucky Home.”

Dear Lillie showed off her gorgeous, rusty scale from her parents kitchen.

The DIY Village found a perfect spot to display their kitchen scale in their custom pantry.

Urban Farm Girl shared this scale on her blog from her etsy shop.

And if you can’t find a chippy, vintage scale, you can purchase one like this retro scale found at Amazon.
