A LITTLE MORE BACKGROUND ... ON THE FOUNDERS ...
Amanda Crames, proprietor of Saratoga’s iconic Schuyler Pond Home & Garden for 20 years, transformed her historic property into an inventive and esteemed shopping destination. Known for her masterful staging and vignettes, she effortlessly mixes rich color and texture, old and new, modern and vintage.
Amanda lives as wildly as she dares now on an 80-acre farm in Galway, NY with her son, Kellen (10), horses, hayfields, stone walls and a handsome post and beam barn. This lush vantage point is a source of inspiration and creativity, and is an idyllic backdrop for Dovecote photo shoots!
Karen Lazar Travis, former owner of an upscale children’s apparel line, renovation consultant and business strategist, thoughtfully guides this niche home line in the marketplace. But her business acumen belies her passion for interiors, color and trends, upon which she has built a significant following.
Karen resides in upstate NY with her husband, Greg, and children Brooke (22), Grant (18) and Caroline (14). Over the past eight years, she has lovingly transformed her 1886 Herbert Langford Warren Shingle Style Architecture home into a legacy property. This wondrous home is featured often on this site.


Their imaginative and dramatic forms struck prominent pose on the grounds of grand estates as they, along with their flocks, became a sign of status and good taste. We loved the luxury nesting imagery of the ‘dovecote’ as we sought to name our home décor company.
What resonated most for us, however, were the elaborate designs and detail of early dovecotes. Agriculture and architecture were artfully aligned to provide a purposeful, nurturing and stunning dwelling for its inhabitants. In turn, these lofty structures were a source of pride and enchantment for property owners, visitors and passers-by alike.
The artistry and attention to detail lavished upon early dovecotes is similar to what we love at home, and strive to impart in the products we produce and showcase.
Dovecote, the company, hopes to adorn the gathering, resting and nesting spaces of your home with elevating décor to welcome you home.
