Hi there friends...
Sorry I've been absent for the last week...I had my first experience with sciatica and let me tell you it wasn't fun!!
I couldn't get off the couch. The pain was in my lower right side and it went right down my right leg.
Now I know what my poor hubby goes through:-(
Knocked me out of commission almost all week...thank goodness that passed!

Since I was feeling better I needed to get out for awhile...so I decided to go to the indoor flea market.
I was walking up and down my favorite isles and this piece called to me...it said take me home...and so I did!

I knew immediately where I was going to hang it even before I got home!
Above the double doors going into our sitting room.
Changing out all the gold door handles to oil rubbed bronze is on my to-do-list this year.
This piece is quite large...old...and chippy...in my eyes perfect.
I really need to stay away from flea markets and antique stores because things always seem to call to me and I can never say NO!!
Have a great week!

Glad you are feeling better! That is a beautiful piece you found and looks great over the doors.
glad you are feeling better. no fun.
Wow! that is a great looking piece! I love the shape of it and the tones of the wood. sorry to hear that you've been having sciatica problems. I've had them before and they are extremely painful!
What a great piece. I love it and perfect for above those doors.

What a neat piece! So unique You are finding all kinds of cool stuff lately!
What a great find-glad you are feeling better too!
Martina, I love this piece! Anything architectural steals my heart. Sorry to hear about the sciatica. I live with it 24/7 so I know how painful it can be.
Hugs,
Sherry
It's very pretty and a great find.
I hope the nerve pain stays cleared up.
Unfortunate. Gold is coming back in, but some of the newer golds are not brass. :( In this old house they left two old knobs. I cleaned them up and they are gorgeous, but only one could be installed, because the mechanism was not broke. They don't look how today's knobs look on the inside. Any way, my knobs are all different colors in here, because what looks "old" today are things other than the brass, unless I wanted to spend a lot.
I too live with sciatica, so I know the pain and agony.I love your newest find.
Fabulous piece, Martina...it's fun to have one-of-a-kind treasures in your home.
So glad you're feeling better!

I have sciatica as well, a gift from about 1993 when my horse tossed me so high up in the air I had time on the way down to run through a few scenarios of how to land. Alas I chose wrong- ouch!
I find that a long soak in the tub followed by a long sit on a hot rice pack can really help.
Hi Martina! I've really got out of going to the flea market but one of my things for New Years was going when it finally gets nicer weather I'm going to start back. Love what you always bring home.
What a great find Martina!
That beauty was a great find!...Just love the shape and detail and perfect over the door!!!...Glad you are feeling better!!
Great find! Looks wonderful where you put it. I went through a sacroiliac problem in November/December that irritated the sciatica. Boy it's not fun! Glad for you that you're feeling better!
What a great find, Martina! I love it as something to put over a doorway like you did.
What a great architectural piece! I love it over the double doors....perfect.
Sorry about your pain. I know all too well what that feels like and I've had it before. It's just awful. I'm glad that you are doing better. A trip to the antique store is always good therapy.
hugs

Don't dare stay out of the antique spots....you found such a lovely piece...perfect in my eyes too!
Hi Martina, glad you're feeling better! Love your new find. It is an amazing piece and looks perfect where you placed it.
We too changed out all the gold hardware on the first floor to rubbed oil bronze too and I love it. We have so many doors and fixtures it was a huge under taking but so worth it.
Have fun.
Hugs, CM
Very pretty Martina! Glad to hear you are feeling better. I had sciatica when I was pregnant with both of my sons...so painful! Luckily yours has passed. Have a great week!

That's a lovely piece !
I had sciatica when I was pregnant with my first son..had it in the last month or so. It's no fun, is it! :)
Such a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece, Martina. It looks perfect above your doors!
It's a great piece, Martina. Glad you has some relief and felt like getting out. That you found a treasure made it all the more sweeter. '-)
LOve your find! Love finding treasures like that and when they find a place to live right away...
I found a help for sciatica from Vermont Country store...it might help...
"Sciatigon" , it is a herbal remedy that is worth looking into....
