Not Your Grandma's Monogram…

Not Your Grandma's Monogram…

Have you noticed all the “monogram mania” lately?  I know monogramming has always been popular in more traditional home decor, but now monograms are finding their way into younger, more hip homes.  It’s become a “thing”.

All the cool kids are getting in on monogramming.  West Elm is just one of many to jump on the trend…

Modern, and fresh.  This is the bedroom of a young, hip person!

Look at this fabulous monogrammed tea towel, via Miss Monogram on Etsy.  Beautifully done, and only $12!

 

 

This look packs a real graphic punch:

Okay, maybe the following room isn’t exactly the epitome of “hip” decor, but I think the sculptural lamp, the bare-boned bed and the sunburst mirror all contribute to a more contemporary look.  And don’t the crisp, polished monogrammed linens really pull this whole thing together?

This would look great nestled in a gallery of framed wall photos:

If you haven’t heard of C. Wonder yet, it’s time to check them out!  It’s a store located in NYC’s Soho, and the brain child of Tory Burch’s ex-husband Chris Burch.  C. Wonder sells clothes and home goods – their stuff is Palm Beach Preppy with a twist.  Not surprisingly, basically anything that’s not nailed down in the store can be (or is already) monogrammed.  Here’s a collection of decorative plates – a new take on something old fashioned.

Who knew that incorporating some monograms into your home decor could be so devastatingly hip?

Hope you are enjoying your summer – we spent the weekend in the Connecticut countryside with some friends who have rented a lake house for the summer.  There were thunderstorms most of the weekend so we never made it into the lake!  But we still managed to find some fun.  Here’s a shot of us raspberry picking – we had a ball:
