We create the look at White Owl Market, whether you find a piece in our store and/or bring in a piece of you own. We will help you “Pick – A – Color” that will perfectly accent your home.
At White Owl Market, we are always looking for new, unique and exotic pieces to add to our collection. Since we are always about color in our furniture and summer fashions, we thought why not shake up our home decor assortment with loads of color.
Mosaics are truly beautiful. They also reflect their brilliance on the walls and ceilings to create a “warm and calming” feeling. In short, they set the mood!
We hope you will like our assortment that is projected to arrive June/July perfect for those summer nights.
Here are some samples we are looking at. What do you think?
Each one of these fine lamps is still handmade and no one is exactly the same.
Time to shed some new light in our world, surroundings and home.

Hello my amazing, supportive, encouraging, awesome Friends!!
Today I decided to dig through my posts and pick out some of my favorite furniture makeovers from this past year to share with everyone!
I always enjoy looking back, and I thought you might enjoy that as well!
Uncover the hidden charm of a cast-off piece with a bit of creative thinking and elbow grease. Check out our furniture makeover project ideas for inspiration.
Visit our Facebook page to see all of our furniture projects plus our entire store filled with everything from home decor to fashion & accessories as well.
We love taking a piece of furniture and redesigning it.
Last week we had a customer want to buy a similar Mid Century piece but insisted that they did not want the top part of the hutch, just the bottom. Since we are all about making our customer happy, we did just that.
Now we have a hutch top floating around our workspace, hmmmm…. what to do?
We my buddy Ken and I were standing and leaning on the hutch top talking about another project and BOOM, Ken said this could make a great bar.
Of course, I was in shock and great excitement to create this project.
Ken just started it immediately. It is so great to be surrounded by other creatives.
Inspiration…
Well here’s what we did.
We took the top of this,
and created this!
We still have some finishing touches to add, but this is it.
We built a base, added reclaimed wood to front and back, painted it grey ( still needs to be distressed) and skim coated concrete product to give it an concrete top look. ( much lighter in weight too)
Voila!
It’s amazing what you can do with odd pieces, and we were just going to make a book shelf out of it….

Creating unique furniture/decor pieces for your home make a statement and are a conversation piece for all who enter your domain.
We have transformed many pieces for our clients. Here are just a handful of pics for you to look at and inspire your creative side.
Here we created benches out of dressers.
Next we created benches out of vintage headboards/footboards.
Even a set of chairs can be transformed…
Taking a piece and giving it a new use will create a unique and fun way to accent any room in your home. Here we took an old secretary desk and a 1920’s radio cabinet and transformed them into a bar.
Next we cut an old desk and made 2 unique sized end tables great for small spaces.
Here we took an old dry sink and created a plant stand/cabinet or great entry piece.
Giving an old dresser a new, fresh look with fabric and hardware, we were able to create a unique look. Stack of luggage!
We take pride in being able to re-cycle, re-purpose and re-design pieces of furniture.
These pieces are all real wood, hard to find these days in furniture today.
All of the pieces shown were created in our workshop and are just a handful of the items we have transformed thru the years.
We encourage you to look outside the box and get creative with pieces of furniture before “leaving them by the curb.”
Better yet, let us create it for you!

Move over, neutrals.
In 2016, Simply White and Alabaster White were the hue of the moment. Then in 2017, we saw a shift to darker neutrals, like Poised Taupe and Mushroom. So it’s only fitting that for 2018 people predict even deeper and bolder colors are going to be all the rage.
One of the first paint companies to release their prediction is PPG Paints, who named Black Flame (PPG1043-7) their new “it” shade. They describe it as an “unprecedented, statement-making black with deep tones of indigo.” So … Black Flame is the new black? They also claim it reflects the rebirth of classic black and evokes feelings of privacy, hope and classic modernism. It kind of reminds us of Benjamin Moore’s Shadow from last year, to be honest.
Meanwhile, Glidden Paint calls out Deep Onyx (00NN 07/000), which they describe as a no-fuss shade of black that encourages a “less is more” approach to decor. It almost has a chalkboard-like look to it, which is why it doesn’t feel too harsh when seen on walls and the floor. Just make sure you pair this color with light furnishings, as seen here with natural wood chairs and a white statement lamp.
As for Olympic Paints & Stains, they say to watch out for Black Magic (OL116), which “brings an airy and soft space down to Earth.” They also claim it’s the perfect mix of masculine and feminine, and when paired with a copper pendant light and white trim, we totally see it.
While white and neutrals are certainly safer, we’re thrilled paint companies are encouraging people to take bolder risks with their walls. And even though these rooms show floor-to-ceiling coverage, you can just as easily embrace this trend by using pops of this hue versus coating an entire room in it.
But you won’t only see dark hues on walls in 2018. Sherwin Williams predicts next year will all be about three bright color palettes, which they dubbed Affinity (blue, fuchsia and brown), Connectivity (blue, green and high-def yellow) and Sincerity (neutrals, green and pink). All of these combinations are surprising (a thumb’s up in our book) and guaranteed to pack serious happiness into a room.
White Owl Markets mission from the beginning was to re-purpose and up-cycle items for your home so not to add another footprint on Mother Earth. One of our all-time favorite ways to bring elements into your home that have purpose and meaning is with up-cycling, a.k.a. re-using/ re-purposing an item. We up-cycle and re-design everyday in our store not only because it can create a unique look but also it keeps our business greener by re-using instead of throwing them away only to add to the already overflowing heaps of garbage we humans create.
Let’s be honest though, not everything we carry is re-cycled. We do have produced items from vendors as well as part of our home decor selection but our main focus is on the “Big Stuff” Furniture to be exact. It’s all about transparency as well. Honest business practices.
No hidden agenda, just cool products at cool prices, period!
We love that a college student all the way up to a senior on a fixed income (and everyone in between) can shop in our store.
WOM is a company that prides itself on making things that are old look new again. No particle board here, just good ol’ wood pieces that have lived decades before us and will live on decades after us if we give them a chance.
Not only can you save $$$ in your pocket, but up-cycling allows you to create something that is original and one-of-a-kind. Yes, you may have to think outside the box a bit, but in the end I’m sure you’ll be happy with the result. (Pick-A-Color, We will paint it for you.)
Since up-cycling so many items, (over 3000 pieces in 2016) We feel we are contributing to a greener & cleaner environment while helping our customers create new atmospheres in their home.
It’s all about the feeling when you walk into our store and/or your home. Our grandparents pieces can be re-hauled to bring a more current, modern look to our homes. No waste!
And let’s talk green. We offer all of this for fair and affordable prices. We don’t feel you should have to pay alot! When you purchase from us, you will be greener without spending alot of green!
Stop in and see our assortment, It changes weekly!
Oh ya, and meet Zac too!
In lieu with tradition, Pantone have released the top ten colours for spring 2017, to coincide with various fashion weeks around the world.
Their predictions are usually pretty accurate – a keen eye can spot their list dotted throughout the spring/summer ’17 runways in a second – and last year they even hinted at what would be the colour of the year through their spring predictions.
This year, the list is decidedly subdued, featuring plenty of muted, earthy tones, including Kale and Hazelnut, with pops of primary colours like Lapis Blue and Primrose Yellow.
Everything from fashion trends to interior design is influenced by Pantone’s predictions: case in point, one of their colours of the year for 2016, Rose Quartz, has been seen everywhere from furniture to shoes and buildings.
See entire list below:
Hazelnut
Kale
Pink Yarrow
Greenery
Pale Dogwood
Island Paradise
Flame
Lapis Blue
Primrose Yellow

This is my favorite picture illustrating the idea of using empty frames. In this holiday display, not just one but two frames were used to hang a tiny Putz house with some greenery and gingham bow. The house would be lost in any grand display, but in this instance it really becomes highlighted.
Using empty frames on the wall adds architectural interest, much the same as molding, but without any construction involved. This is just a random collection of different sized and shaped frames in the same color, but it really draws your eye up the stairs. It is such an easy way to fill up a bare wall.
Shades of Orange and Yellow prove to brighten up any dull space.
Don’t be afraid of color!
