Good morning! Don’t forget to enter my fabulous giveaway, for the gorgeous Kilim bench from Safavieh. All details follow at the end of this post. 

Hope everyone had a good and restful weekend. Ours was on the more relaxing side for once, a nice change. Dinner with friends, went on a friends boat despite the fact that the weather has been on the cooler side here and shuttled my son around (he is out of school so my chauffeur duties are being put into high gear) 
Don’t you just love monograms! It is a way to make something personal and exclusively yours in addition to the elegant decor motif they afford whatever you are monogramming. Perhaps its the southern in me, but I am always so drawn to this old world, regal and timeless classic element in decorating. The most common places to see it is in the bedroom, on bedding and in bathrooms on towels. But there are no real limitations….bar stools, linen napkins and placemats, pillows both indoors and out,dining chairs the list goes on. I think monograms have increased in popularity so its nice to see an old trend be resurrected (not that to me, it ever went “out”). There are new trends with monograms, different styles being used in different ways and in a whole host of colors so there is a whole new world for monograms. Today is all about gorgeous monograms, all the many ways to use one….do you have a favorite? Are you a monogram maniac like me? Would love to know as always what you think! And of course if you have a favorite below! Have a wonderful day….

Monograms! Who doesn’t love them!!!!! And your selections make my heart flutter~ so many beautiful pieces. When I redo my formal living room I’m slipcovering 2 18th century sofas and having a monogram on the back of each sofa. Love this post!

We adore monograms. So many wonderful uses it’s hard to pick a favorite. However, we love to use monograms in the bedroom and bathroom. Love the monogram bedding in the boy’s bedroom. We both have boys…our wheels are turning! Thanks for the inspiration.

I have an amazing Giveaway from the Artisans at Novica. You will love it!

I am in true need of wining this bench. First of all, I ADORE it. Secondly, I just ordered monogramed bedding with tan accents. It would be a match made in HEAVEN! Oh wow, I just can’t handle how beautiful that bench is.

I love the new take on monograms, like the picture shown with the monogramed shades- creative, and makes such a sweet statement!

I commented on their facebook page! I am SO hoping to win and crossing my fingers tightly!!!!!! xoxo

Just love monograms. I’ve always wanted to get a set of monogrammed French Moustiers faience!! In the meantime, I’ll be satisfied with bed linens, tabletop, bath and other more affordable luxuries!!

TINA…
This is my favorite post! I can’t tell you how much I love monograms. I think that everything I have is monogrammed, lol. I love monogrammed cards, linens, bedding, pillows, clothing, and the list goes on! I really love the monogrammed chair slips. i want that table too.
I bought a Babylock so that I could monogram everything my daughter and I own.
You get the message.
Have a great Monday.

I love the monogrammed soaps! Never saw any like these!
And I love the wedding cakes as well! As I’m already married there is no chance at all to have one – because I’ll never get divorsed….
Great post again, Tina!
Greetings from the Périgord and best wishes for a good start for the week.

I love monograms. I always have! When my kids were little I sewed and all my son’s clothes were monogramed and I used to monogram my husband’s cuffs. I love the elegance it adds to anything/everything! xo Diana

I do love monograms- monogrammed linens are my favorite- especially napkins! Beautiful images! I left a comment for the give away-and wow, what a give away!
Now I need to back read a little to see what you’ve done with the house lately.

I absolutely adore monogrammed anything! The vintage linens and the Southern Living room are wonderful. I love how you incorporate the mosaics at the end of your posts.

Love the monograms – wish we did them more here in Oz. But they aren’t big here like in the US. I adore those Leontine linens, they are sensational. I think I like them best on pillows, cushions and towels.

Oh I love all the monograms- especially linens are so classy with a monogram.

Always enjoy all your great inspiration pictures you share!

Love monograms My tip top fav. is my beloved wedding silver (guess that sort of qualifies for this post) hand engraved beautiful (Tiffany knocks out park on this).
My name Carlin Stargell Camp
CSC, IMO perfect for monogramming, it looks a bit snake like vertically & I love it. Plus its easy:)
My childrens towels always monogrammed, made camp & college IDing easy. I loved initials & was so much fun to have full names on towels. Next Grandkids(not so soon, yikes) & their towels, pillows etc makes a everyone feel special:) & laundry simple & bathroom coordinating interesting!
Lovely walk WAY down & back memory lane post, thank you

I’ve come to appreciate monograms for interior design in the past few months. I agree with you that they are timeless and I think my southern roots are resurfacing as I decorate my new home! Thanks for the opportunity for a giveaway! That bench is awesome!!

Something tells me that you are a fan of Elizabeth Dinkle. Meeeeee too and the Lonny bathroom just makes me smile. Crisp linens and gorgeous hardware are always a winning combination in any bath!
Gosh so much to comment on here and as usual so many of my favorites.
After I have a looksee at your progress at home, I’m heading straight to Sunny’s. What a brilliant idea!
But before I close, I must say what a generous giveaway. A bench like this is so useful…and pretty too. Will be sure to visit them too!
xo Lisa

I love monograms and this selection is beautiful! I love the idea of monogrammed slip covers, and monogrammed napkins are a perennial favourite. Have a lovely week. x Sharon (PS Great giveaway!)

I haven’t indulged in my passion for monograms in ages and you’ve given me quite the selection – perhaps some great cocktails napkins for the terrace would be nice to have!
