Rain Barrels??

Ok, guys... how about some ideas for nice looking rain barrels? I have a lot of land and this year I'm adding several more flower beds and doing a lot from seed. I'm thinking I need some rain barrels where I can't reach with a hose, and just to be more environmentally friendly. The local scrapyard has some metal 55 gallon drums, but they're ugly. I was thinking I could put a barrier of cheap lattice around them to hide the ugliness. Then I was thinking about all of the mosaic threads and thought maybe something is possible, but that would be a huge project and I've got too many irons in the fire already. I saw some nice looking feeder containers at TSC but they were more money than I'd like to spend. So... any ideas folks? Cheap and easy are a few of my favorite things... ;)
