Do you have any ideas for adults that are maybe still kids at heart? A personal favorite is called a "Living Chair." You can even go as far as to plant an entire dining set. Here's how you do it:
Remove the seat of the chair.
Staple chicken wire around the edges where the seat used to be. Give it a little dip to create a bowl effect so it looks similar to a shallow hanging basket.
