    Owls! I know you've seen them everywhere.  Owls were a staple home accessory in the 1970's, and they've made a successful comeback.  Just peek through ZGallerie or West Elm's catalogue and you'll see how this vintage trend is making a significant impact on the modern home. 

    I recently spent a lot of time hankering over West Elm's current line of products, after attending the Pinterest Meet-Up.  I fell in love with this frosty blue owl lamp that I saw perched high on the display wall.  Unfortunately I'm too cheap to drop $100 on a lamp, so I mosyed on (to adore the papier-mâché wildebeest, of course).

    I even bought an ugly owl wood sculpture thing the other day, from Ross or TJ Maxx, I forget which.  I plan to turn it into a a fab home office companion, you just wait – it's going to be so easy!  I decided to write this post to persuade those of you out there who think, "what am I going to do with creepy owl decor?" Check out these options, nearly every big home store is selling some form of owl:

    Ease into owls by installing either of these accessories.  Hide the owl hook behind your door, or replace your standard switchplate with this owl rustic piece.

    This was the frosty blue lamp I found at West Elm, although I cannot find the blue color anywhere now!
