making miniature chair and sofa

Hi , I just finished making this sofa today. I got a pattern of the Internet and modified a little bit to fit what I had in mind.Do you believe that I made this sofa using heavy paper ? I am now making little pillows to go with it and hopefully when my room box is ready you will it there.
This is a chair that I bought of ebay. I paid $10 for 13 pieces of miniature furniture. I kept 3 to work with it and gave the others to my daughter Rebecca , in which was very very pleased!*grin*


I love to work with wood however; I confess that working at this scale is a new thing to me and I struggle with the size some times but because I have made dolls furniture before and I have restore our own furniture , the concept is always the same.
Here I cut the back and bottom because I want to create a French provincial chair that had a country and vintage look.



Here I gave a first coat of paint and let it dried.


I finished with a cane and decided to paint it all satin white. I had it in cane color first but after doing some research on French provincial furniture , I saw the when one had cane was always all white. I am not done yet . I am working on pillows.
