"Using random bargains and used furniture" is also a good idea because it's difficult to predict how you'll live in your new home. We lived in our house for six months before we realized most of our bedroom space was wasted storing junk. So we moved the bed into the attached office and the office into the bedroom. Now my "new" office is twice as big as before and we still have plenty of space in the new bedroom.

I always believed that is much more interesting to keep the eyes open for nice opportunities for architecture than trying to master a whole project from scratch, and I mean that not only looking at the financial aspect but also the creative one. Once upon a time, before I made my escape to Web design and became a computer geek, I studied architecture (although I never worked as an architect, my computer geekness caught me first) and we were trained to believe that as an architect, you should be the master of your creation (that might be a reason why I never was an architect in the first place). Time showed me that is completely wrong, you can't be master of your creation, because the creating process is too complex, and many random factors interfere. No one can proudly say they did something from scratch, as Carl Sagan would say, you'd need to create the Universe first. I think using random bargains and used furniture is an excellent opportunity to use your creativity, sometimes more than an empty canvas, and, as you properly said, it can be quite cheaper.
