things to do with an old sofa

1. Make a home-sized soft play area, and invite friends over to play. CHECK

2. Build a fort. CHECK

3. Get rid of cushions - .......NOT YET. I will, soon. When I am absolutely sure I cant use them, for lets say new balcony furniture. Y'know, build a frame, get some weatherproof material, cover cushions, paint wood.. et voila! Funky home made outdoor seating.

Or am I being daft? Any other ideas guys? Hate to get rid of perfectly good cushions ;)
