Reimagining the Weathervane: A Millennial Guide to Upcycling






It is time to reimagine the weathervane. With the typical notion that weathervanes are for country homes or an older generation, it is no surprise that people have a difficult time trying to place the necessity of weathervanes in today’s society. With the massive amounts of weather apps on the market, their need in your life may seem nonexistent—but weathervanes can serve an all-new, creative, and trendy purpose.  Think of them as an indoor decoration for a warehouse style apartment or loft. Weathervanes come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. They can be constructed and deconstructed to fit your needs. They are the missing piece on your accent wall, or the spot to fill the empty space on your end table.  The timeless look of weathervanes will never age your apartment or home; they will enhance its uniqueness and show your cleverness for design and detail. In the above pictures, you can see two very different, yet incredible upcycles of typical weathervanes—the picture on the right showing a more modern decorating choice, and the left an accented wall to really show style. The upcycle decorating trend will never go out of style…so, why not start here?
