apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love my Phillippe Starck scale ... it's just a frosty gray color with no window or anything on it ... when you step on it the digital numbers show up through the plastic or whatever.

I keep it standing up behind my bathroom door and people always ask me what it is.

I don't think ignorance is bliss, but I don't need a scale. And, if a minimalist can do without an object, well, that's quite minimal. But, these examples are very sleek and elegant, particularly the last one.

I don't own a scale because I like to weigh myself in public places... like Restoration Hardware.

I'm with visualingual- I don't need a scale. I actually have no idea how much I weigh. I'm more concerned with how the bulges and jelly bits LOOK than how much they weigh.

Silvarga's comment made me laugh. I just use the scale at the gym because I fear I'd become scale-obsessed if I had one at home.

My parents got me a really nice oval glass one from the Sharper Image - I keep it in the laundry room since there isn't space on the bathroom floor. It's very unobtrusive and sleek.

I'll admit, I have a scale and I use it occasionally. But it's not beautiful like the last one -- I hide it in a closet and take it out only when needed.
This also fools guests into thinking I'm not as self-conscious as I really am.

I use a scale to weigh my suitcase when I am going to flying abroad.

Thanks Amazon for a good laugh: if you buy the HoMedics SC-475 Digital Bath scale, you can get War and Peace for $24.95!
And thanks also to Amazon for the reviews of that last scale (the best looking one): it stinks.
