How To Decorate With Old Kitchen Scales
Old kitchen scales with worn finishes add character and charm to any home decor. I have several old scales, including one that was gifted to me by a blog reader. That was so sweet!
These vintage or antique scales can be displayed alone or in a grouping with plants, fruits, or even pretty fabric scraps.
