I am looking at color drenching living zones in my house to reduce visual clutter, add fun character, and make the narrow, dingy parts exciting instead of awful and depressing. I have a bold vision in mind of rich, bright hallways that let you out into spaces that are still rich but less quirky. The smaller and dingier and more lifeless the space, the brighter/deeper/bolder the color. I want to eliminate detail and depth perception and lean into the "artificiality" of not having natural light instead of fighting it. Then do in places where you spend time in rich, lively, but gentler colors that work with the natural light.

Has anyone done anything like this? How did it turn out? Lessons learned?

Big. Much much bigger. Soooo muchhhhhhh bigger.

So many of the help / advice posts here are gardens where the pots are way, way, way, too small.

Bigger pots, friends. Especially if youre on the ground outside and dont have the weight limits of a balcony. Only true weight limited balconies and terraces have good reasons to be using any pots smaller than 90 L- 100 L.

I have spoken [ imagine mandalorian meme here].

At 00.13 last night our bakfiets was stolen from its parking spot in a residential area adjacent to paardenmarkt. It was 2 men in a black hatchback, one cut the chains and the other got out and biked. The one who cut the chains drove in front while the second man biked behind following the car down the road. They went down van der Mastenstraat, down Molenstraat, and then up past Noordeinde. We are not sure yet where they went from there. We have made a police report, but are looking for any/all help to locate the bike. We rely on it for our family and it is devastating that it is gone.

I am pretty sure this was a crime off opportunity because of the damn Kermis.

If you have a camera doorbell and are on any plausible route from noordeinde out, can you look after 00.15 ish to see if a black hatchback followed directly by a black bakfiets with a rain tent on it goes by? In particular, clear views of the license plate would be great. But we would also settle for further clues about where they likely took the bike.

Or, if you've noticed anyone staking out Binnendstad Noord in a black hatchback, that could be helpful too.

This is the 3rd robbery we've been victim to in the past 12 months. Any help would be appreciated.

Eta: they seem to have come in via Koepoort, then gone arpund the Kermis through the bus parking access lane, past Ipse and Franks, then down van der Mastenstraat, through Molenstraat. We have confirmed they did NOT pass Kolk, so it must have been up Annastraat next? We have ruled out Nieuweplantage, Kolk, and Kantoorgraacht for the route. Any tips about cameras on this route or footage would be appreciated. ❤️
