Where Rustic Living Meets Refined Elegance

On the grand scale of things...

I don't know why it takes me so long sometimes to realize I can change things.  I've had this doctors scale for years.  I like to have it, but I hate the way it looks.  It was in the water closet of our master bedroom to keep it out of sight but it had to leave the room! I put it in the bedroom but just couldn't stand looking at it.
Then suddenly it dawns on me....I can fix it! A little black paint, (I love black!!) some french graphics and Voila! a cute vintage french scale.
Much better
I was even able to save the little medical emblem and put it back on the front of the little box next to the weight.
It's so cute I just may be tempted to use it now and then, maybe.

  4. I use Corell Draw 11 to make my own graphics. I really need to move to photoshop but just can't find the time to learn it.

    Thanks girls!
