The most obvious place to put a monogrammed piece is outside the front door. Choose the Traditional Coir Doormat Insert with Monogram for the front porch or stoop. The mat is constructed of woven natural coir from coconut fiber and it features a backing made from recycled rubber. A large monogram sits at the center of the mat, and is surrounded by elegant scrollwork that is reminiscent of wrought iron. Eco-friendly as well as durable, this matt will not only add elegance to your outdoor décor, but it will trap dirt and dust within its fibers, helping to keep your home clean.
When the Christmas holiday approaches, replace your regular porch matt with the Holiday Holly Coir Doormat Insert with Monogram. This item is also made from woven natural coconut fiber coir and recycled rubber, making it eco-friendly. It is a functional item that adds that special touch of holiday cheer to your front entrance with its lovely ivy leaves and berries adornment.
Yet another choice in door mats is the Classic Block Coir Mat with Monogram. Also constructed of eco-friendly coconut fiber coir and recycled rubber, it features a more elaborate design against its black background. Present a stylish face at the front of your home while you keep dirt and debris outside where it belongs.
Yard flags are another popular option for adding your monogram to your outdoor décor, and one of the most elegant choices are the Pineapple Flags with Monogram. This quality yard flag hangs from a simple pole against the wall of your home, or you can mount it on a horizontal yard pole, hanging it wherever you want that extra personal touch. It can even be mounted on the side of an arbor or a fence or gate. The pineapple and scrollwork design is unique, while the monogram is simple and elegant. You will love this yard art so much that you'll display it all year long in the front or the back yard.
Display more color when you hang the Floral Scroll Flag With Monogram. This yard flag features a large monogram that is adorned with lovely flowers. With its lovely colors, it is perfect to hang outside in the spring or summer, but you'll appreciate its cheerfulness all year long. Your neighbors will love it, too, admiring it from their own yards or as they stroll past your home on a warm evening. Of course you'll want to place it where you can see it from your own windows, adding a cheerful view of your own each day.
If you're looking for an even brighter yard flag, consider the Gablecrest Flag with Monogram. The lettering is elegant, the floral design spectacular. Hang this on the wall of your home so that the whole neighborhood can see it, or mount it from a pole in your own private garden. A backyard gate is another wonderful spot on which to mount this colorful flag. But whether you display this flag in your front or back yard, you'll appreciate the cheerful look it brings to your landscape design.
A Flag Arbor is another wonderful way to display your monogrammed yard flag. Constructed from 10mm wrought iron, this free standing flag stand can be positioned anywhere you want it.

Standout From Your Neighbors With Monogrammed Outdoor Decor
When most people think monograms, they think of wedding décor, of towels and LL Bean backpacks and all things preppy. Monograms are typically associated with the "preppy" style made famous by stores like Abercrombie and Fitch and J.Crew, but ever since J.Crew revamped itself and started selling like crazy, preppy style has come back into vogue. No longer reserved for schoolgirls and uptight old women, monograms are back in a big way! Have we lost you already? Wondering what, exactly, a monogram is? A monogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining two or more letters (usually an individual or a family's initials) to create one symbol. They're often used by married couples, as well as companies, and also by individuals, and generally, become recognizable, much like logos - especially in the vein of company use. Monograms are not to be confused with cyphers, which is a series of uncombined initials (ie, A.B.C.), as often seen on LL Bean backpacks perched upon tiny children as they head to school in the morning.
Wondering about the history of the monogram? Monograms go back a long ways - they first appeared on coins, as early as 350BC. The earliest known examples of monograms come in the form of Greek cities that would issue the coins. These coins featured the first two letters of the city's name - a far cry from the monograms we know today, which often feature initials, or company names. Monograms have long been used in the place of traditional signatures by artists and craftsmen on sculptures, paintings, and more. One famous example of this is the monogram of artists Albrecht Durer, whose monogram, which he used as a signature, included an "A" that looked more like a small house, with a D underneath it.
Following the Greek coin usage of the monogram, there's also the Christian usage of the symbolic formation. For centuries, Christians have used monograms in the name of Jesus Christ to represent their god without actually writing out his name. Perhaps more popular, however, are royal monograms, which have been used in kingdoms for centuries as well. These monograms tend to appear on coins, and are often displayed in the form of a crown. In the past, Great Britain, Russia, Sweden and many German states have used monograms on coins to display their royalty, and today, multiple Danish coins show the monogram of Margrethe II.
Let's get back to current times. These days, monograms are more commonly appropriated by individuals and families looking to customize things they own - from towels to bathrobes, sheets to pillowcases, jackets to backpacks. The traditional three letter monogram, which features the initials of an individual's first, last and middle name, can these days be sewn or pasted onto just about anything. Companies like the Company Store, Pottery Barn, J.Crew, Lands End and more offer monogramming services, and often, you can get your goodies monogrammed free of charge. It's a real perk, especially for those who like that their goods are differentiated from others, made special just for them.
Wondering how you can incorporate monograms into your daily life? Maybe you've already done the towels, and you've got the notecards and the backpacks and more - but you're still craving more monograms! Enter the outdoor décor. That's right; why not bring the monogramming into the great outdoors? You've got a spectacularly manicured lawn with incredible landscaping, so why not make it shin and truly make it one of a kind? With monogramming, you can transform your outdoor décor to help it stand out from that of your neighbors. Consider this: there's no need for a cookie-cutter back yard when you've got the option to monogram. Why not monogram your bird-feeder, your large umbrellas that help dapple the sunlight in the pool area? Building a new pool? Go ahead and add a monogram on the bottom, so that you'll never forget how hard you worked to save up for this amazing luxury. If this seems like too much commitment for you, go simple: monogram your sunhat, and the cushions of your outdoor furniture. This way, if they get wrecked by winter's wrath, or blow away in a bad storm, you can easily replace them, monogram and all. Additionally, since monograms add some extra spice, you can stay classic with your color schemes and design - consider blue and white striped cushions with a small black monogram on the side. Classic, timeless and chic - and 100% yours. Set your outdoor décor apart from the rest, and add your monogram! This customized look is perfect for design, both indoors and out, and it's a great way to customize things you already own. Whether you're ordering new or reworking something you already own, monogramming adds that special touch to your things.
