There is something so sentimental about seeing your own personal initials. A pretty alphabet spells cool in my book, whether you’re decorating a nursery or your own living space. We might live in a time where you email correspondence, text appreciate notes, IM conversations and no longer teach the traditional cursive penmanship in many colleges, yet a lot of us are still obsessed with typography. I have rounded up 20 favorite ways to describe the decoration in your home. — Jen from The Haystack Needle
