I think it's reasonable to not expect to make deep changes to a space that you will not live in for more than 5 years. But at some point? The white walls, the inability to install a shelf or change things like tile is grating.

The Interior Design Odyssey Continues: -
The Interior Design Odyssey Continues:I find a lot of advice for renters. The problem is advice for apartments that are NOT rentals.

@futurebird we wind up with Red Yellow and Blue as “primaries” as a quirk of how cheaply available paint pigments *happen* to mix as a result of their particular pigment properties- combined with a need to simplify concepts for children… particle size,...This is blowing my mind.
I thought it was ... I don't know I thought it was more grounded in abstract color theory. But this makes so much sense.

The Interior Design Odyssey Continues:I guess this is a "downside" to condo/coop ownership. When you get ready to make big changes to your home no one knows what you are talking about and none of the advice makes any sense.
"Consider adding X to your kitchen island" (ya'll have islands and oceans in there? What is going on?)
"This furniture will look great in many different sized apartments when you move." (That's nice but I will never move.)
"In your laundry room..." (What is that?)

The Interior Design Odyssey Continues:Should we have a conversation about how younger generations are never getting the chance to customize their homes because they can't buy, and it's not just because housing prices are high, it's also because the places younger people want to live generally are not for sale?
Moving is fun, but it also sucks. It seems reasonable that if you don't like moving one ought to be able to just... stay somewhere forever.

The rental and housing markets shape a lot of the ideas and advice available about interior design. People who move often and rent aren't looking at making permanent changes to their spaces. People who own have houses not apartments. So, advice to make permanent changes to apartments is very rare.
I hoping this is just a US thing and maybe by looking abroad I can find some more useful ideas.

RGB codes use light mixing rules.Makes sense. I think introducing CYMK to the mix would just make it more confusing?
Also I want to puzzle this out. But I don't understand why so many people are taught that Red Yellow and Blue are the primary colors?
That's the real issue. I will bother the art teachers tomorrow.

RGB codes use light mixing rules.I'm trying to help students who learn RYB understand light mixing with less difficulty.

RGB codes use light mixing rules.This is coming from working with students who learn about "primary colors" in art class, but then in tech I have this other system and it confuses them a little. (they adapt)
-
RGB codes use light mixing rules.That's for printing? And so it's also confusing. The color system most people learn is RYB for some reason. I don't know why.
-
RGB codes use light mixing rules.RGB codes use light mixing rules. This is fine, can take some getting used to if you are used to pigment.
RYB would be a primary color code scheme. It wouldn't cover the same range of colors. I'm thinking about how one would code a conversion function between the two from "first principals" ... I think RYBB would allow the same range of colors if "B" is black.

"Æthelred the Unready"know a few middle school students who could have an "the Unready" on their name...

They didn't mince words with the monikers for the early kings of England. We should really bring this back for powerful leaders.

Apartment Design Chronicles (Continued)OK... but and I feel like I'm missing something big here. What do I build it into? When I remove the stove there will be a gap. So I'd need to put a table there.
Extending the counters isn't an option, they are 80 years old and impossible to match. So, I need to put the stove in or on... something. I was hoping to find a free standing unit or something.
