    This Vintage Scale was tucked away in an attic, forgotten about for decades. Here's how I took this vintage piece and added it to my home.

    Decorating with Heirlooms - using a vintage scale in your decor

    I love finding old, rusty items and adding them to our fresh new decor.

    But when they come from. my family's past, it makes it even better!

    Trent and I were rummaging through my in-laws attic, looking for some of his childhood toys when we stumbled upon this beauty.

    Vintage green, rusty and chippy.

    I was instantly in love!

    The scale no longer works, but I thought it would be a beautiful piece to add to our Farmhouse kitchen.

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

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

    Every time I look at an heirloom, I cherish the memory of where it came from and it's significance in my home.

    Any vintage heirlooms that are passed on to us holds a special, sentimental place in my heart.  

    S0 are you going to hunt for one of these Vintage Scales?

    However, these scales can sometimes be elusive.

    If you can't find a chippy, vintage scale, you can always purchase a replica.

    Here are a few I found on Amazon.
