Those of you who follow this little blogletta know that I am a fan of le monogram in interior design, especially in a powder room hand towel or bedroom throw pillow. Some gorgine examples:

And if you need additional inspiration along these lines, I’ve heard good things about this gorgeous coffee table book ($35) from Jane Hodges:
I just recently added to the monogram addiction by ordering something GORGEOUS from Etsy boutique SouthernLinen, an amazing storefront I mentioned here, and that one of you lovely readers gushed about in the comments section, as well (p.s., I love your comments and feedback — keep it coming!) I ordered one of these monogram applique boudoir shams for the #minimagpie nursery ($54) and can’t wait to style it on the glider. I think it will really tie everything together — I asked for green trim but a pink monogram, which should make everything play nicely together.
I’m also obsessed with these appliqued shams ($54 each), these embroidered monogram shams ($32 each), and these Euro shams with the awesome trestle trim ($36 each).
I’ve also ordered these monogrammed cocktail napkins for a few brides-to-be (so fun getting your new initials! — $26 for 4), and these appliqued hand towels ($30) would enable you to get the look of the 3rd and 4th interior design snaps above.
I can’t get over how high-end these pieces look, but for a FRACTION of the price you’d typically pay. I’m smitten. BUT I have even better news: the sweet and hard-working owner of the boutique, Emily, has generously offered my little magpies 10% off any purchases from her site with the discount code valentine, now through February 14th. SO, awesome opportunity to snag something for yourself, your home, or your lovebug!
