We have a book of prints of matchbook covers from the 1920's and 1930's. One print, an old ad for an upholstering company, kept catching my eye as I thumbed through. The simplicity of the chair and font was appealing and on a whim, we "upholstered" a ceramic tray with cute floral paper, ribbon, and mismatched but complementary buttons.
The project was surprisingly labor intensive, as the ribbon really didn't want to stay put, and we buffed the paper by hand for that extra vintaged look. The end result was pretty cool, though.
