Winter Cottage

Wintry Days bring Snow and Fun...!  Welcome to our pretty little cottage by the water! Imagine spending some family time in this adorable Winter Cottage in the snow! This scene makes me long for those hushed winter days spent in nature, in the pure sparkling snow. The kids are playing outside in the yard, making a snowman, feeding the birds while you are putting together a picnic to take on your crisp and sunny cross country skiing trip in the afternoon. This is truly your ideal winter getaway! The water behind the cottage evokes a mountain lake, but the water view can be viewed as whatever body of water you want it to be river, ocean or lake - whatever feels personal to you and your family! The linen used is a perfect dark grey blue, to evoke a dark and snowy winter sky and to make the snow look so white compared to the background color! This is a perfect design to hang in your home or cottage to remind you of fun times past, present or yet to come in your own little Winter Cottage!
