I borrowed Dollhouse Magic by P. K. Roche from the library, and it turned out to be a rather simplistic book of miniature making, such as using thread spools for tables. But, the instructions on using kitchen sponges to make sofas and chairs inspired an idea. I wanted the living room to be more modern, and I thought using sponges would be a great way to achieve the shape a modern sofa. Here it is mostly complete. I need to tweak the fit of the cushions and adjust the legs, but overall I like the way it turned out, especially since it was my first attempt at upholstering and building a mini sofa from scratch. The photo also has my inspiration sofa and the sponge structure I used to create the sofa. The striped pillows were created by finding designs online, resizing in PhotoShop and printing on fabric. The bird pillows are actually made from a resized image of tiles which I then printed on fabric. More on the process in my blog.
