One of the first things I did after getting married was make our mark on our house with a couple of monogrammed items. But it seems like every shop from Target to Anthropologie has their signature monogrammed items …and they were showing up in every home I’d visit.
If you want to add your mark on your place, but are tired of the monogrammed options at your favorite shops, I’ve got your back. These DIY monogram letters craft projects will guarantee that you can leave a unique mark on your home without resorting to the same old mugs and decanters that everyone seems to have these days. Check them out in the slideshow.
