KIMBERLY SCHLEGEL. WHITMAN, author of six previous books on entertaining and event planning, is Editor-At-Large for Southern Living magazine. She resides in Dallas.
In this book, we will take a look at both the history of monograms, duograms and ciphers and the way they can be incorporated into our lives today. For many, an introduction to monograms rapidly becomes a new passion. For others, it is a lifelong tradition that honors generations. Whether you’re into the hip and modern or prefer more formal styles, a monogram can enhance your home and lifestyle. From entertaining to interior design, monograms play a role in both decoration and personalization. Setting yourself apart with a monogram is a statement of your individual sensibilities and style. Aside from being a personal logo and advertising ownership, a monogram’s touch can help us feel confident and centered. Etiquette expert, Peggy Post, who is a greatgrand-daughter-in-law of Emily Post and current director of the Emily Post Institute, says they can give us a “sense of place.” One of the beautiful things about technology today is that it has made the goods we need for our homes so affordable and accessible The downside to this accessibility is that it’s hard to feel that something is truly our own. When we add a personalized touch, such as a monogram, to any item, whatever the quality or craftsmanship, we instantly make it more special.
