In architecture, a cupola is a relatively small, most often dome-like, tall structure on top of a building. Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome.
Today is one of those days I have been wanting for when the contractor and his team installed the cupola atop the roof at the Acorn Cottage. The cupola certainly helps to give the house more curb appeal and strengthens the architecture. The copper roofing of the cupola will tie in well with the awning and Bevolo gas lantern. Stay tuned.
The Cupola, y'all!
Love it. Please share where you purchased it. I have been looking for that and a copper weather vane.

DeleteI want a weather vane too! I just have not found the right one (at the right price).
Thank you! I'm torn on weather vanes. There is a pelican one I like but am not totally in love with it. Still looking.
DeleteThanks for the link Ron. Terry is looking for a Cupola for his garage and have not found one. Since our cottage home was built in 1949 the electrical wires are all above grown from that era so after we built the garage the wires were hanging down on the garage so he is going to use a cupola to keep the wires off the garage and also give the garage some character. Things are looking so good at the Cottage.
ReplyDeleteAlways love when you show something new done. Hope if you started back to school you have a great group this year. Happy New School Year!
