She designs and restores some amazing furniture. I would identify her style as classy whimsical. She is not afraid to use color and finds amazing unique hardware.
Case in point!
I was reading through her blog a few days back and she had posted about some amazing finds at an estate sale. And did she ever! She landed a couple of antique dressers and this little side cabinet with the cute back splash.
Well another thing caught my eye in this photograph. That old rusty dirty scale! I have been searching for one of those. Oh how I have been searching!
So guess what arrived at my home on Friday!
From her house in Maryland
to
my house in Utah!
The scale!

The scale! Not just any scale.
But THE scale!
I am thinking about not cleaning it or touching it but letting all of the character
tell its story. I really like it in its raw state with the leaning platform and I am pretty much in love with it just like this.
Ahhhh!
So I am sending my appreciation to her.
Thank you thank You
Cassie.

Both of you gals are 2 very talented ladies, so I am thrilled that you were able to get the scale. It looks great on your shelf. Love & blessings from NC!
I found a rusty scale sort of like that one and am still debating about painting it!! I think they are so cool! How sweet of her!
Oh my gosh. I love it.
Lucky Duck!
Oh. My. Goodness. You lucky, lucky girl!!
I love these old scales! No way would I even DREAM of painting mine. I love all the rust on mine too, as well as its crookedness. Plus, it came from a business down the road in Cincinnati.
Yours definitely has character, too. :-) How nice that someone gifted it to you!

The face on the scale makes it fantastic!
What a nice rusty addition to your display - how sweet to receive it.
I love how it is, too, Cassie. In all it's 'rustiness'!! Melanie sounds like a sweetheart to think of you and I love her furniture...it's so bright and cheerful!
