buddha hand door handle

I have a special love for doors. Even the cabinets I picked for my home during the years, first, I had to fall in love with their doors. They all have great characters. I even painted, framed and gone a little crazy on my apartment's dull entry door. I believe it reflects my apartment's decor. So I have been looking for decorative buddha hand door handles for awhile. I came across this gorgeous Nepalese guyan mudra hand door handle at amazon.com. I was hoping for a pair but, I could only find one hand. Now, I have to figure out where to install one hand... :)





Some Instagram photos showing the buddha mudra hand with a hibiscus flower from my balcony :)

If I decide not to use it as a door handle, I can always use it to hold jewelry or towels.

How could I have not seen this cute towel holder earlier? It would have made a great addition to my bathroom.

Hands of buddha jewelry holders. Creative way to collect and organize jewelry. They make great door handles too.

Here are some doors that I adore...
