Ouch, there is quite a bit of harsh in this crowd! Taste is relative and frankly most people who knock others for their taste in design are trend followers, not trend makers. Keep calm and orange or grey anyone? Sheesh!

Answer the question nicely or don't. Everything else is just snobbery.

To the question asker -

Iridescent or plain white marbles are pretty inexpensive. You could fill the jars with varying levels for a lighter effect to keep the space from being too dark.

If you do lots of cooking, the jars will quickly get greasy and dusty but a quick swipe with all appliance pledge or similar will make them easier to clean the next time.

Good luck!

Only because I've lived on my street for 10+ years and I mostly know who is a neighbor. Plus I make it a point to introduce myself to new neighbors after a bit. And I live in Boston in a neighborhood that people think is tough. My experience has been that at the end of the day the majority of us just want to be neighborly to some degree.

But I think it is acceptable to not open your door to someone you don't know, if you don't know what they want. Maybe they want sugar, or maybe they want your valuables - unless you can read minds, how would you know?

I used "In the Night Kitchen" as kitchen wallpaper for the longest time. It was quite the conversation starter, especially when Mickey gets nekkid at the end!
