Storage Building Sheds its Old Image
Although things have always changed quickly, in the past few years, the pace has increased so significantly that “new” sayings are being invented every day. All of a sudden, “40 is the new 20,” “60 is the new 40,” and “80 is the new 60.” Also, “bald is the new hairy,” “fat is the new thin,” “geeky is the new cool,” and “left is the new right.” As annoying as these sayings may be, they shed light on a “new” collective consciousness that’s more flexible, and less inclined to cling to out-dated “rules” that have had little or no meaning for years – or centuries.
This can be a good thing, because it’s a sign of the erosion of stubborn stereotypes that have been inhibitive, as well as prohibitive, sometimes, to the detriment of individual expression and achievement. More possibilities are opening up, and every day, you hear new “new” sayings. Sometimes, they make sense; sometimes, they make you shake your head. This week alone, the expressions, “up is the new down,” “on is the new off,” “wine is the new beer,” and “pepper is the new salt” have appeared in print. Okay.
So, what do you get out of this? Nothing, but a chance to do whatever you’ve always dreamed of, and pass it off as trendy. If anyone questions you, just tell him that it’s the hottest new thing, look incredulous that he could be so far behind the times as not to have heard of it, and watch how quickly he becomes hip. Then, simply go back to your shed, and work on some more new ideas. What? You haven’t heard that the shed is the new all-purpose room? Oh, come on. Everybody knows that!
Forget the image of the old, crumbling backyard shed, with the leaky roof, and the uneven doors being scarcely held closed by a rusty latch and padlock. If that’s what you’re picturing, then you probably think that sheds are used only for storing lawn mowers, tools, rakes, shovels, fertilizer, rock salt, and pool cleaning items. Not so! Today’s sheds are available with so many creature comforts, that people are getting comfortable in them as well.
Actually, there are dozens of words that you can use to finish the “new” shed saying. Try it – it’s fun! For example, you could say that the shed is the new workspace, home office, home gym, weight room, laundry room, artist’s studio, playhouse, pottery room, potting hut, hobby room, supply room, or greenhouse, just to name a few. The only thing that’s more fun than playing the “Shed Game” is choosing a spectacular new shed from GazeboCreations.com, where you can select a pre-designed shed, or customize one in four easy steps.
Available in box styles or barn designs, with gabled roofs, cupolas, vinyl siding, cedar siding, and features such as skylights, shuttered windows, and window boxes, these outdoor storage sheds are as attractive as they are practical – and can even beautify your property. All sheds from GazeboCreations.com are designed and built to last for decades. And you’ll be around to enjoy them the whole time, because, after all, 100 is the new 80!
Whatever use you have in mind for it, your ideal shed is waiting, at gazebocreations.com. For more information, call 888-293-2339, or e-mail cs@gazebocreations.com.
