Adorn Your Pad with Owl-Inspired Decor + Giveaway! [CLOSED]

With spring weather just around the corner (well, hopefully…), there comes a time when the puffy winter coats have to be put away and the spring-cleaning has to start. Instead of dreading the annual cleaning catastrophe, use the event as a reason to update that worn-out winter décor and freshen up your home to with the latest decorations!

A short walk off of Missouri’s campus you’ll find the chic downtown store, Calhoun’s Accent Furnishings, home to of all the latest furnishing trends. Calhoun’s specializes in anything from small gifts to unique home-décor, and upon a recent visit, I have found that owls are ‘in’ this season and was given a small preview of one of their popular owl items. Read on to see how you can win this special treat from Calhoun's!

After getting quite a hoot (sorry, I had to) from this owl trend, College Gloss Mizzou decided to take a closer look at where we could find more of these trendy tree-inhabiting animals. It turns out that 2013 might not be the "Year of the Snake" as determined by the Chinese, but rather the "Year of the Owl!"
