Deep rugs

Perhaps the most interesting characteristic of the American Cottage style, is the instant and deep connection that people describe when looking at the designs.

Taking a deep breath, the New England cottage owner says the Bird of a Feather collection reminds her of childhood visits to her grandmothers house on Lake Champlain.

After staring for 15 minutes at a Tunnel design, a member of the Ute Nation in New Mexico comments that Jodi must be Native American. Smiling, the owner of a hunting lodge in Whitefish Montana feels that he’s finally found the truly American style he thought was lost. In the same way that a faint smell takes you back to a summer memory, Jodi’s designs conjure up the memories of tradition. Like a good book, these designs offer something new each time you gaze into them. The longer you look, the more you see.
