The Blue Door Cottage

There's a quiet kind of magic in this little whitewashed cottage with its bold cobalt roof and matching blue door. A lush green tree leans over the scene while hollyhocks and cottage blooms in pink, cream, gold, and deep red tumble along the wall, and a well-worn earthen path invites you toward the door. And keep your eye out low in the garden, because three speckled hens have wandered in to peck and pose among the flowers. It's a tender, storybook scene painted with soft, dreamy brushwork, the kind of view you'd stumble upon on a slow morning walk and never quite want to leave.

Hand-painted by Minnesota artist Lori Friedrichs, this is an original, one-of-a-kind piece created with warmth and a love for storytelling.
