The dovecote is finished. Galen put the final touches on the dovecote this weekend and I finished the painting. I decided to use the same color paint as our house.
The roof is cedar shake which were left over pieces from a project on part of our house, and on top of the dovecote is one of those old electrical wire guides that we used for a finial to add a bit of whimsy. There are three openings, but actually four "apartments" for the dove. The top floor has a double.

Oh Donna how beautiful! I've always wanted a 'dovecote' and here on the farm goodness knows we have a lot of them. Yours is just gorgeous and I love where you put it. Pats on the back to your hubby and you did a wonderful paint job! I hope it fills up soon.

Superb!! It is just adorable and looks very nice on the side of your Cottage.
The home for the doves is just gorgeous Donna. Galen outdid himself this time for sure. What is more, it looks so lovely on your house.

Wow! Love it. It looks great attached to your house like that, what lucky doves!
Oh Donna, you are one lucky girl!! Galen did an absolutely fantastic job on the dove cote! I hope your doves love it.
Your dovecote turned out so beautiful!! I love everything about it and it looks PERFECT where you have placed it. I especially like the scallops around the bottom. Great job Galen & Donna.
I have been begging my husband to build me a replica of a dovecote I found in an OLD English book completely dedicated to the subject. Yours is most excellent! We too have the mourning doves, I love the sweet coo they make, and the slow, graceful way they stroll across the grass, so unlike the little hopping sparrows. Glad you found my "Recipe" for the garden markers, I made about 70 of them!
I wake to the cooing of doves every morning. They have a nest outside my bedroom window. Your new addition to your house is beautiful...my doves should be so lucky. Have a nice day...Balisha
