I had to double check the date on this post -- thinking that somehow it had been posted months ago & the site was glitchy. That said, I've found some great bedding, throw rugs, high quality pet toys & kitchen goodies at HomeGoods but agree with others -- I wouldn't furnish my entire apt with wares from HG. A few months ago I was shocked to find a vintage railroad cart (with a $350 price tag on it...though I've seen them go for 2x-3x that in local boutiques). After full inspection...it was authentically vintage from a fabric warehouse in the South. It struck me as so odd to have discovered it there, that I passed it up (thinking that I'd rather have such a find at a flea/antique market). Still wondering how it appeared there....

I have modern taste and would also typically avoid using fabric on the lids but....you could use fabric in a modern print & use a brightly colored rubber band to hold it in place. The rubber band would also make opening the jar easier! :) You could also use oil cloth in place of the fabric.

There are also lots of pretty/modern ribbon designs out there these days, so you could also just cover the edge of the jar with a fun patterned ribbon & use a piece of strong double sided tape to hold the ribbon in place.
