There Are No 1/4 Scale Couch Potatoes

Apparently, 1/4 scale house inhabitants never vegetate on the sofa.  I looked and looked and no sofas were found. I did find some beautiful cast chaise lounges, but no sofas to speak of.  So, I had to try my hand at it. 
I started with a square dowel of 1mm hardwood. I cut a 1.5 inch length then scored about .3mm down the edge and in the middle of the top (to simulate cushions). Then I started playing with matting boards, illustration board, anything that could work for my vision. Gluing all together I got this:

I painted it French Country Blue but it still looked a little plain.  Thinking, thinking, ohhhhhhhhh.... I started holding up fabric scrapes from my quilting projects. I think that worked pretty good.

I kinda wish it was a little brighter, but I'm pretty happy with my first attempt. I also did an armchair and a table to match.

All this time I have been painting my plastic preformed furniture that I bought from the bargain basket at my favorite dollhouse shop. 

The grandfather clock is the base color of the furniture and it's like a semi soft plastic so they take multipe coats of acrylic paint.

I love the purple for the bedroom but I need another bedspread. The light blue table and chairs are to replace the green ones that I'm not real happy with... 

These are the green table and chairs that I felt weren't good enough. They are not smooth at the edges, like the plastic was not pored carefully.  You can see in the background that my refrigerator (complete with picture of contents, paper clip door handle, and tape hinges is complete. I also painted the stove (it was black plastic when I started).
