Apartment Therapy Commenters: It Just Doesn't Matter

When I posted my mason jar lid dresser knobs a couple of weeks ago at Apartment Therapy, the one comment that stood out among all the "you ruined the dresser" and "I liked it better before" and "you ran over my dog" and "you have spinach in your teeth" was this one from a commenter named Fromage:

My only critical comment (don't hate me!) is that I think after doing such an amazing job on the dresser, you need a bigger mirror over it. I think the mirror is too small and detracts from your excellent DIY.


Ouch. It hurts because it's TRUE! Out of all the comments, that was the one that made me fall to my knees like Bill Murray in Meatballs.

It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter if we win or lose because all the really good looking girls will still go out with a guy from Mohawk cuz they got all the money. It just doesn't matter!

And even if I turn a Target dresser into something that looks mid-century modern using readily available 50 cent household items, it just doesn't matter because an Apartment Therapy commenter will just tell you your mirror is too small.

And even if you figure out a way to make a really really big mirror
                            

from the base of a broken crib

and $4 worth of craft foam

and spray paint

that's so shiny and mod that Jonathan Adler would have to shield his happy chic eyes

 and is so covered with Greek keys that Aristotle Onasis would turn turn over in his grave

all for under $15

it still wouldn't matter because some other Apartment Therapy commenter will still like it better before. It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.
