YES!
I get excited hearing about all your creative ideas for re-purposing things! I enjoy the challenge of taking something with possibility and watching it transform. I agree Craigslist is a wonderful resource for this. One of my favorite finds was a Spanish hand blown amber glass and wrought iron chandelier. It's huge and ornate. I got it for $40 because it had been on someones porch and rusted. I used steel wool to remove the rust and repainted the wrought iron a flat black. It took me about 30 hours, but it looks like new. I have seen similar ones on EBAY for hundreds of dollars, and I smile knowing I can have anything I want if I am creative enough to figure it out.
