Southerners are known for saying that if it’s not moving, monogram it! Kimberly Schlegel Whitman certainly lives by that adage. Her beautiful tabletop book, titled Monograms for the Home, is a unique history of the monogram in design and a guide for how and where to elegantly style your own.
Buy the book at our Draper James Nashville boutique and on our website and hear from Kimberly here:
Monograms are quintessentially Southern because. . .
We value the history and personality of the items in our home. We love that our initials can personalize a piece and we cherish our monogrammed heirlooms.
You hosted a book signing at the Draper James store. What was that like?
It was a blast! I loved seeing the store and it was so much fun to have some old friends there and meet new ones. Nashville is wonderful and I was so grateful to have some time there.
A few of your favorite ways to incorporate a monogram?
I love monogrammed tissue holders. I know it seems silly, but I have them next to every bed in my house! I also love pretty waste bins with a monogram.
