SP Recommends

Now SP isn’t really a pillow kind of guy. I usually find them annoying when piled high on a bed or a sofa, crunching and arranging them just so you can get comfortable. They seem to be too fussy sometimes. But since we’re crazy for all things monogram, here is a classic pillow found at a shop on the Cape. The proprietor was able to whip up the SP monogram just in time for the pop-up party in New York last week.  I thought it would be a great prop for the party — and it was — but it was also a big hit with many orders taken. It looks like it came across the Atlantic at the turn-of the-century, stowed away in the Captain’s quarters. It’s got that old-worn look without smelling musty. Now again, SP is not a fan of the faux-aging that seems to be so popular now but in a pillow I’ve decided it’s okay, even preferable.  No musty smell, you see.

The Monogram Pillow has been added to the SP Shop and it can be personalized with one, two or three initials in the classic monogram style shown. It may seem a bit pricey at 225.00 for two, but remember these are individually made-to-order and down-filled. The shop man says he needs a 2 pillow minimum to make the monogram. The pillow case is made of a waxed cotton and the monogram is printed in Antique Black ink so it has a bit of a shine.
