Marvelous Monograms

It has to be said: I like anything with a monogram. perhaps it’s the preppy in me. perhaps it’s the truth that I increased myself on problems of Martha Stewart Living. Or perhaps it’s since I’m a young fogey — a term H&H coined years back which fits me to a T. In any type of case, provide me a stylized font style emblazoned on anything from stationary to finger towels, as well as I melt.

There’s something so satisfyingly completed about personal details like monograms as well as I discover they can provide that designer edge to any type of basic problem item. A situation in point: I was just recently working on a story all about budget plan embellishing for the magazine as well as wished to fix up some department store linens. “A-ha!”, I thought, “This is a task for a monogram!” Okay, perhaps I didn’t believe those words exactly, however that was the vibe.

Here’s what I found: Sears.ca will monogram numerous of their sheets as well as towels for $7. That’s right, SEVEN! The monograms on the pillowcases are on the outside hem, which wasn’t for me (I desired a bolder, much more centred statement), however for hand towels — absolutely! What a traditional as well as personal wedding event gift those would be. You can likewise get just about anything monogrammed at the bit monogram Shop in Port Perry, Ontario, which is where I went for my pillowcases. inspect out page 122 of the June problem of H&H to see the results, as well as let me tell you — they’re sweeeeet! It expense about $15 per monogram to get a crisp, preppy style custom-stitched onto some ordinary situations I provided.

So why not try it out? You can select the font, colour, as well as even specify the size — it’s really customized style at bargain prices. So go ahead, be a fogey, as well as be happy of it. Your recently trendy bed will say thanks to you for it.
