I will certainly repurpose any number of things but not everything.
Haha! This made me laugh!
I despise clutter so I've gotten pretty good at deciding if I'll truly use something or should just pitch it. I need order and clean surfaces to focus. I've seen people here say many times that if your sewing room is clean, you must not be creative. I beg to differ... I'd never be able to create amongst clutter.
