when local celebrity designer Jack Lenor Larsen approached the podium, he gave a poignant speech about his longtime friend Stephanie Odegard. Stephanie is the owner of the Stephanie Odegard Collection, which is a collection of rugs made in Nelpal, India and Tibet, and vary from cotton flat weave to hand woven and silk. Stephanie Odegard rugs are considered some of the finest collections in the design industry. Jack presented Stephanie with a humanitarian award thanking her for decades of commitment to the industry, and noted her stellar involvement in the organization she founded, GoodWeave. GoodWeave makes a huge commitment to end child labor in the carpet industry.

I have been a fan of James Michael Howard for quite some time and his work speaks for itself. His rooms are classic but with a twist and his use of color is impeccable.
