Stop by my blog to see what I painted today!!!!





Today I finished painting a vintage scale that I was lucky enough to find in a antique store. It's from the American Family Scale Company. It was patented on July 17th 1913. It is in very good condition. The face of the scale had no imperfections at all. I base coated it a country red and antique white. On both sides I hand painted saltbox scenes. At the top I painted a black crow with some vines. I just love finding old things and giving them life again. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!!

    I love the way you painted the scale. The colors are so inviting and the salt box houses are a perfect design for the sides of this piece. I never find anything worth buying when I go to antique or second hand stores.
    Have a great weekend.

    Thanks so much!! Yes I know it's hit or miss sometimes with antique stores and flea markets. Or you find something you really want but they are asking to much for it and they won't come down enough. I was lucky to find this. Have a wonderful weekend!!
