Explore the latest edition of Freedom House's flagship report to learn more about the status of global freedom. The Trump administration in September 2020 ordered recipients of federal funds, including universities, to avoid diversity training that includes “divisive concepts” related to racism and sexism, prompting expressions of concern regarding impingements on academic freedom from numerous university administrators. In a break with presidential tradition, Trump refused to voluntarily release his personal tax records as a candidate, and he resisted formal requests for them from congressional and state investigators after taking office.

Policies & Plans

They argued that without such separation, the president could use his office for personal enrichment or allow his official decisions to be influenced by his private business interests. Trump’s decision to appoint his daughter and son-in-law as presidential advisers created potential conflicts involving their own business interests and personal relationships. The borders of House districts, which must remain roughly equal in population, are redrawn regularly—typically after each decennial census.

Published since 1973, Freedom in the World is Freedom House’s flagship annual report, assessing the condition of political rights and civil liberties around the world. Democrats stridently objected to the confirmation process, noting that Republicans had justified blocking Obama’s 2016 nominee by claiming that when vacancies arise in election years, appointments should not be made prior to the balloting. Coney Barrett’s appointment cemented a conservative Supreme Court majority; many Democrats suggested that the Republicans’ actions justified the introduction of legislation to expand the size of the court and add new justices under a Democratic president. While violence against journalists in the United States has been rare in recent decades, media watchdog groups registered widespread press freedom violations, including police violence and arbitrary arrests targeting journalists, in the context of the nationwide protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd. The US Press Freedom Tracker, a joint project of multiple nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), documented a total of 123 arrests of journalists and 334 assaults on journalists for 2020, compared with just 9 arrests and 34 assaults in 2019. Various other state election-management policies have been criticized for having a disparate impact on these communities.

Associational and Organizational Rights

The enemies of freedom have pushed the false narrative that democracy is in decline because it is incapable of addressing people’s needs. In fact, democracy is in decline because its most prominent exemplars are not doing enough to protect it. Governments that understand the value of democracy, including the new administration in Washington, have a responsibility to band together to deliver on its benefits, counter its adversaries, and support its defenders. They must also put their own houses in order to shore up their credibility and fortify their institutions against politicians and other actors who are willing to trample democratic principles in the pursuit of power. If free societies fail to take these basic steps, the world will become ever more hostile to the values they hold dear, and no country will be safe from the destructive effects of dictatorship. Although Freedom in the World’s better-performing countries had been in retreat for several years, in 2020 it was struggling democracies and authoritarian states that accounted for more of the global decline.

According to the methodology, an electoral democracy designation requires a score of 7 or better in the Electoral Process subcategory, an overall political rights score of 20 or better, and an overall civil liberties score of 30 or better. These thresholds reflect the fact that a democratic electoral system requires not just fair balloting procedures and basic political competition, but also some respect for the rule of law and civil liberties such as freedom of assembly. Freedom House’s “electoral democracy” designation should not be equated with “liberal democracy,” a term that implies a more robust observance of democratic ideals and a wider array of civil liberties. In Freedom in the World, most Free countries could be considered liberal democracies, while some Partly Free countries might qualify as electoral, but not liberal, democracies. This modest report provided assessments of political trends and their implications for individual freedom. In 1972, Freedom House launched a new, more comprehensive annual study called The Comparative Study of Freedom.

By the end of 2020, Trump had successfully appointed a record 234 federal judges in all, including 54 appellate court judges. In a break with precedent, a number of his nominees were confirmed by the Senate even after he lost the November election.

How Citizens and Leaders Can Protect the Spirit of Democracy

In the practice known as partisan gerrymandering, House districts, and those for state legislatures, are crafted to maximize the advantage of the party in power in a given state. The redistricting system varies by state, but in most cases it is overseen by elected officials, and observers have expressed alarm at the growing strategic and technical sophistication of partisan efforts to control redistricting processes and redraw maps. Historically, gerrymandering has also been used as a tool of racial disenfranchisement, specifically targeting Black voters, as well as Hispanic and Native American populations. In addition to these reports, Freedom House participates in advocacy initiatives, and global democracy and human rights programming.

Two states, Maine and Nebraska, have chosen to divide their electoral votes between the candidates based on their popular-vote performance in each congressional district. The Electoral College makes it possible for a candidate to win the presidency while losing the national popular vote, an outcome that took place in the presidential elections of 2000 and 2016. United States is rated Free in Freedom in the World 2024, Freedom House's annual study of political rights and civil liberties worldwide. Freedom House is a member of the International Freedom of Expression Exchange, a global network of more than 80 non-governmental organizations that monitors free expression violations around the world and defends journalists, writers and others who are persecuted for exercising their right to freedom of expression. Freedom House also publishes the China Media Bulletin, a weekly analysis on press freedom in and related to the People's Republic of China.

The March death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, which occurred during a raid targeting a suspect who was not present in Taylor’s apartment, sparked months of protests in the city. An investigation yielded “wanton endangerment” charges against one officer but no charges related to Taylor’s death, prompting allegations that the Kentucky attorney general failed to adequately present the case to the grand jury. In May, a Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, who had allegedly used a fake bill at a corner store, by kneeling on his neck for nearly eight minutes as three other officers stood by. The officers were fired and charged with offenses including murder, with a trial expected to occur in 2021. Aside from concerns about government surveillance, internet users in the United States have faced problems such as aggressive disinformation efforts, intimidation, and frequently sexualized harassment on social media that may deter them from engaging in online discussion and expressing their views freely.

A diverse set of media outlets broadly confirmed the outcome of the election, and civil society groups investigated the fraud claims and provided evidence of a credible vote. Some Republicans spoke eloquently and forcefully in support of democratic principles, before and after the storming of the Capitol. Yet it may take years to appreciate and address the effects of the experience on Americans’ ability to come together and collectively uphold a common set of civic values.

Cambodia’s authoritarian prime minister, Hun Sen, presided over the arrests of numerous people for allegedly spreading false information linked to the virus and criticizing the state’s performance. Governments around the world also deployed intrusive surveillance tools that were often of dubious value to public health and featured few safeguards against abuse. In this climate of impunity, the CCP has run roughshod over Hong Kong’s democratic institutions and international legal agreements. The territory has suffered a massive decline in freedom since 2013, with an especially steep drop since mass prodemocracy demonstrations were suppressed in 2019 and Beijing tightened its grip in 2020. The central government’s imposition of the National Security Law in June erased almost overnight many of Hong Kong’s remaining liberties, bringing it into closer alignment with the system on the mainland.

The country’s fragile gains were further imperiled after the ruling party in the Tigray Region held elections in September against the will of the federal authorities and labeled Abiy’s government illegitimate. Tigrayan forces later attacked a military base, leading to an overwhelming response from federal forces and allied ethnic militias that displaced tens of thousands of people and led to untold civilian casualties. In a dark sign for the country’s democratic prospects, the government enlisted military support from the autocratic regime of neighboring Eritrea, and national elections that were postponed due to the pandemic will now either take place in the shadow of civil conflict or be pushed back even further. Beyond the pandemic, Beijing’s export of antidemocratic tactics, financial coercion, and physical intimidation have led to an erosion of democratic institutions and human rights protections in numerous countries. The campaign has been supplemented by the regime’s moves to promote its agenda at the United Nations, in diplomatic channels, and through worldwide propaganda that aims to systematically alter global norms.

Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment.

The Senate consists of 100 members—two from each of the 50 states—serving six-year terms, with one-third coming up for election every two years. At Freedom House we believe that structure and routine are essential components to maintaining sobriety. From support with life skills to one-on-one vocational trainings, our goal is to help men build a strong foundation in recovery. Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways.

Changing our World One Life at a Time

For each country and territory, Freedom in the World analyzes the electoral process, political pluralism and participation, the functioning of the government, freedom of expression and of belief, associational and organizational rights, the rule of law, and personal autonomy and individual rights. The public health crisis is causing a major economic crisis, as countries around the world fall into recession and millions of people are left unemployed. Marginalized populations are bearing the brunt of both the virus and its economic impact, which has exacerbated income inequality, among other disparities. In general, countries with wider income gaps have weaker protections for basic rights, suggesting that the economic fallout from the pandemic could have harmful implications for democracy. The global financial crisis of 2008–09 was notably followed by political instability and a deepening of the democratic decline.

Freedom Treatment Centers of California, located in Los Angeles, California, is a faith-based alcohol and drug rehab for adults. They provide medically assisted detox and inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), general outpatient programs (OP), and aftercare services. Has vigorously opposed dictatorships in Central America and Chile, apartheid in South Africa, the suppression of the Prague Spring, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda, and the brutal violation of human rights in Cuba, Burma, the People's Republic of China, and Iraq.

Programs

The most prominent was a seat on the Supreme Court that the Senate had held open during 2016 by refusing to allow hearings on Obama’s nominee. In 2017, the Senate confirmed Trump’s nominee for the position, appellate court judge Neil Gorsuch, but only after the Republican leadership changed Senate rules that had required a supermajority to end debate on Supreme Court nominations, meaning the confirmation could proceed with a simple-majority vote. While it remains quite robust by global standards, this liberty has come under pressure in recent years. University faculty have reported instances of harassment—including on social media—related to curriculum content, textbooks, or statements that some students strongly disagreed with. In the most highly publicized cases, students and nonstudent activists have physically prevented presentations by controversial speakers, especially those known for their views on race, gender, immigration, Middle East politics, and other sensitive issues. Separately, the American Association of University Professors has complained that the politicization of climate change and other scientific topics is contributing to a more hostile environment for those working in related fields, including instances of harassment by private individuals.

As a lethal pandemic, economic and physical insecurity, and violent conflict ravaged the world, democracy’s defenders sustained heavy new losses in their struggle against authoritarian foes, shifting the international balance in favor of tyranny. Back then police officers also served as first responders and would ferry sick or injured people to the hospital, Hallen says. But neither option came with workers who knew how to administer life-saving first aid at the scene or en route, Hallen says.

The Fight for Freedom Starts With How We Treat Ourselves and Others.

Proponents of such laws argue that they prevent voter fraud, despite research showing that fraud is extremely rare. Separately, reductions in the number of polling places in several states in recent years are thought to have suppressed turnout by groups such as low-income hourly workers, who are less able to travel to distant polling locations or wait in long lines. Restrictions on voter identification and access to polling places tend to affect demographic groups that are seen as likely to support Democratic candidates, and they are typically adopted by Republican state lawmakers. In 2019 the Supreme Court ruled that the federal judiciary has no authority to prevent politicians from drawing districts to preserve or expand their party’s power. However, some state courts have struck down partisan-gerrymandered maps based on their own constitutions, and state-level reforms have begun to address the issue, with a handful of states establishing independent bodies to manage redistricting in recent years. In 2020, Missouri referendum voters backtracked on one such reform, but voters in Virginia approved a plan to create a bipartisan redistricting commission.

We mobilize policymakers, advocates, and leaders to act.

In 2020, both social media platforms and mainstream outlets, particularly some Fox News programs, served as conduits for questionable or false information about the nature and spread of the coronavirus. The executive branch includes a substantial number of auditing and investigative agencies that are independent of political influence; such bodies are often spurred to action by the investigative work of journalists. Independent or third-party candidates have sometimes influenced presidential races or won statewide office, and small parties and ideological factions—such as the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and the Democratic Socialists of America—have also modestly affected state and local politics in recent years. In 2019, the state of Maine became the first to adopt a system of ranked-choice voting for both primary and general elections, which could prove more hospitable to third parties than the majoritarian system, though it generated no notable change in the 2020 elections. Also in 2020, voters in Alaska approved the adoption of another ranked-choice voting system, while Massachusetts voters rejected one. Freedom in the World is the most widely read and cited report of its kind, tracking global trends in political rights and civil liberties for over 50 years.

The long arm of COVID-19

Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

The ruling Hindu nationalist movement also encouraged the scapegoating of Muslims, who were disproportionately blamed for the spread of the virus and faced attacks by vigilante mobs. Rather than serving as a champion of democratic practice and a counterweight to authoritarian influence from countries such as China, Modi and his party are tragically driving India itself toward authoritarianism. The “American dream”—the notion of a fair society in which hard work will bring economic and social advancement, regardless of the circumstances of one’s birth—is a core part of the country’s identity, and voters tend to favor government policies that they believe will enhance equality of opportunity. In recent decades, however, studies have shown a widening inequality in wealth and a narrowing of access to upward mobility. Inequality concerns mounted in 2020 as the recession linked to the COVID-19 pandemic caused a massive spike in unemployment—especially for Black and Hispanic workers—leading to record demand for food banks and other community services. Economic stimulus legislation passed by Congress in April and December mitigated the damage, in part by expanding unemployment benefits, but widespread hardship persisted at year’s end.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) statistics for 2019, released in November 2020, showed an increase of more than 6 percent in such crimes from 2018; incidents involving Jewish targets rose 14 percent and constituted over 60 percent of the year’s religion-based hate crimes. Anti-Muslim crimes were the next most common, and Christian churches with predominantly Black congregations have also experienced attacks in recent years. Also in 2020, several senators came under scrutiny for profitable stock trades during a period of market volatility that accompanied the COVID-19 outbreak. Most of the legislators were cleared of allegations that they illegally made trades based on their exclusive briefings about the pandemic, though an investigation into one senator was still open at year’s end. In the 2020 election, Biden won 306 Electoral College votes, leaving Trump with 232, and Biden defeated Trump by more than seven million votes, or approximately 4.4 percentage points, in the national popular balloting.

The expansion of authoritarian rule, combined with the fading and inconsistent presence of major democracies on the international stage, has had tangible effects on human life and security, including the frequent resort to military force to resolve political disputes. As long-standing conflicts churned on in places like Libya and Yemen, the leaders of Ethiopia and Azerbaijan launched wars last year in the regions of Tigray and Nagorno-Karabakh, respectively, drawing on support from authoritarian neighbors Eritrea and Turkey and destabilizing surrounding areas. Repercussions from the fighting shattered hopes for tentative reform movements in both Armenia, which clashed with the Azerbaijani regime over Nagorno-Karabakh, and Ethiopia. There are no significant undue restrictions on freedom of movement within the United States, and residents are generally free to travel abroad without improper obstacles. A patchwork of temporary movement restrictions were imposed across the country in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with states acting independently based on local conditions and strategies, though the rules were loosely enforced and relied mainly on voluntary compliance. Although women constitute almost half of the US workforce and have increased their representation in many professions, the average compensation for female workers is roughly 80 percent of that for male workers, a gap that has remained relatively constant over the past several decades.

Everyone benefits when the United States serves as a positive model, and the country itself reaps ample returns from a more democratic world. Such a world generates more trade and fairer markets for US goods and services, as well as more reliable allies for collective defense. A global environment where freedom flourishes is more friendly, stable, and secure, with fewer military conflicts and less displacement of refugees and asylum seekers. It also serves as an effective check against authoritarian actors who are only too happy to fill the void. But President Trump’s attempt to overturn the will of the American voters was arguably the most destructive act of his time in office.

Men and women generally enjoy equal rights in divorce and custody proceedings, and there are no undue restrictions on choice of marriage partner, particularly after a 2015 Supreme Court ruling that all states must allow same-sex marriage. In recent years, a growing number of states have passed laws to eliminate exemptions that allowed marriages of people under age 18 in certain circumstances. Numerous government and nongovernmental programs are designed to combat such violence and assist victims. In the past several years, a series of new state laws have reduced women’s access to abortion without overtly breaching prior Supreme Court decisions on the issue, and some have survived judicial scrutiny, adding to state-by-state variation in access. In June 2020, however, the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that would have significantly reduced abortion access in that state. A 2018 Supreme Court decision that government employees cannot be required to contribute to unions that represent them in collective bargaining has led to further losses in union membership.

US laws and practices give wide freedom to NGOs and activists to pursue their civic or policy agendas, including those that directly oppose government policies. Organizations committed to the protection of civil liberties, immigrants’ rights, equality for women and minority groups, and freedom of speech have become more active since 2016, mounting campaigns and filing lawsuits to block actions by the Trump administration that they considered harmful. A number of privately supported projects have also been established in recent years to address deficiencies in the electoral and criminal justice systems. Separately, surveillance programs run by federal and local law enforcement agencies have long raised concerns among civil liberties groups, due in part to allegations of a disproportionate focus on religious, racial, and ethnic minority communities. A growing number of law enforcement and other government agencies are monitoring public social media content, with targets including applicants for US visas and participants in peaceful protests.

The suit asked the tenants to be evicted from the property at 1412 Alden Road in the neighborhood just north of downtown. Yard House is the modern American gathering place where food and beer lovers unite. It’s not the first time the owner has opened a food hall that shut down. He opened The Hall on Franklin in Tampa, and in that case, he also missed rent payments and owed $47,000 when the lease was terminated. The Hall on the Yard, an Orlando food hall, is permanently closing its doors because the owner is being sued for failing to pay hundreds of thousands in rent. The place is super clean and it’s all digital.

The Hall on Franklin in Tampa closed near the end of 2020 after opening in 2017, according to a report in the Tampa Bay Times. He told the Times that the food hall lacked outside dining and a private dining room, both important during the pandemic. In early 2023, The Hall on the Yard filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Wilson said at the time the food hall would stay open, but the project had incurred debt with the coronavirus pandemic increasing construction costs. Ivanhoe Place Propco LLC filed a lawsuit on April 15 alleging that the food hall owes nearly $250,000 in back rent plus utilities.

On top of that, they owe $5,400 in taxes to the Orange County Tax Collector. The food hall opened in Orlando’s Ivanhoe Village in 2022. It had nine food stalls and three cocktail bars. The Hall on the Yard in Ivanhoe Village, one of Orlando’s largest food halls, has abruptly closed as it faces a lawsuit over unpaid rent.

At Yard House, our passion for great beer, great food and great music runs deep. You’ll find the world’s largest selection of draft beer along with a diverse menu inspired by our California roots. The owner of The Hall on the Yard is being sued by its landlord for breach of lease and is facing eviction. According to the lawsuit, the food hall owes about $250,000 in rent. The owner filed for bankruptcy over a year ago due to pandemic-related construction delays.

$2 Off Beer, Wine, Spirits, & Cocktails

There’s an attender to help you order but you can just right at your time with digital assist. We took the 2 chicken hot Nashville and avocado chicken burger with onion ring Stack and truffle/ parm fries. Our attender was helpful explaining the dish. The coconut cocktail was delicious, and the cheese pizza, along with the outstanding tacos, made for a tasty meal.

The suit asked the tenants to be evicted from the property at 1412 Alden Road in the neighborhood just north of downtown. Yard House is the modern American gathering place where food and beer lovers unite. It’s not the first time the owner has opened a food hall that shut down. He opened The Hall on Franklin in Tampa, and in that case, he also missed rent payments and owed $47,000 when the lease was terminated. The Hall on the Yard, an Orlando food hall, is permanently closing its doors because the owner is being sued for failing to pay hundreds of thousands in rent. The place is super clean and it’s all digital.

To top it off, the chocolate lava cake for dessert was a treat. Everything was delightful, and the service was top-notch. Great service, good was delicious, and atmosphere was very nice. We had steak and cheese with onion straws. They give a lot so it’s better to ask on the side. A brookie sundae and bread pudding sundae.Both desserts were delicious.

Yes we know, murals don't always get the best rap but you can find some really cool ones that will add style to your room rather than a wall of snowy mountains or a New York skyline. It might not be as fun as painting your living room, but getting your living room storage sorted can be just as effective. Totally decluttering your room will not only give you more space to get decorating, but it will also obviously make your living room feel bigger too as there won't be stuff covering every surface. The gilded mirror above the fireplace, similar in style to the Aireana Traditional Wall Mirror, from Wayfair; and the chandelier, make this lounge space feel elegant and sophisticated. Yes, you can go far with just a touch of gold or max out with a gold drinks trolley in the corner for a glam 1920s touch. You never want a living room to feel too full of furniture, so it's important to know how to choose living room furniture to pick pieces that are really functional.

Pair Beige and Black

"I love that there's no mantel on this one," Sarah from Arbor & Co. explains. "It just doesn't need one here. Another aspect I love is the large ceiling pendant that draws your eyes up." Black and white is a color combination that will never go out of style. Mirrors reflect light and have a tendency to make a room feel larger, two major reasons why we love them.

Be bang on trend with living room floor tiles

But, if you are still weighing up the decision, read our projector vs TV guide to gauge which'll be most suitable for your space. It's a great option to consider if you're wondering how to build a home cinema room. Turn a corner into a tech-free spot to practice mindfulness; define a home working space with a color block ‘border’ on the wall, or use a room divider to anchor a social set-up.

Make Neutrals Interesting

Crafted by Another Human’s Leah Ring, neutrals and simple patterns were thrown out the door, and color was the main character. If you have a statement art piece in your collection, framing it in the living room is probably the best way to showcase it. Architect Lee Mindel took on the role of decorating Darren Starr’s New York City loft, and this spheric artwork by Jose Dávila makes the room stand out. Pick a piece you can move around the room, too, for practicality more than anything else, but also because moving furniture around can be an easy way to keep a space feeling fresh.

Add in Warm Wood Elements

"Portland is filled with many older homes and being able to style them with a modern touch is my favorite," Sarah from Arbor & Co. says. "The windows in these homes are always so beautiful. I love seeing what people keep from the original houses like pendants and old brick fireplaces." "We layered pretty whites and chalky taupes to create a soft, airy living room in this coastal home," Christina Kim of Christina Kim Interior Design says. "We added soft blue velvet and lots of texture to create this relaxed vibe, natural but polished." Sometimes one must choose between a dining area over a living room—or vice versa. When space is limited, make miniature modern living rooms out of unused corners, like Augusta Hoffman did here in her elegant New York City apartment.

Living room storage ideas

In this environment, choice antiques can make sense as well, when balanced by contemporary elements. In this Connecticut beach house, Amanda Jesse and Whitney Parris-Lamb looked to the industrial revolution to pinpoint their definition of modern. The presence of metal and concrete, plus the brightness of the space, allows for earthy, muted tones to take precedence in the furnishings. It’s a perfect opportunity to work with a carpenter like Jacob May (who designed the dining table to the left) or Palo Samko (who made the dining chairs). Along with the masterful layering that adds so much coziness to this small living room, the mural also works towards adding texture. Murals are also a fab option if you are decorating a rented home because you can choose to hang a mural rather than paste it permanently to your wall.

When it comes to decor, if you aren't sure about a style, start by creating a mood board. Use Pinterest and rip pages out of magazines of living rooms you like the look of and you will start to see trends/colors/shapes pop up more frequently. Do think about the style of your home too and what decor will work with the period of your home. Then make a list of everything you need/want in the space – seating, living room storage, decor, lighting. And start planning where it will go in the room, test out different layouts on your plan. This cobalt blue living room packs a punch of vivid color for an electric look full of attitude.

From on-trend looks to classic schemes, there are a wealth of ideas to steal whatever your style. The right window treatments can hug a room, such as these drapes selected by Kristen Elizabeth Design. Ponterio is a fan of the striped rug that anchors the living room in this lake-side home. While “modern” and “contemporary” are often treated as synonyms and used interchangeably, there is a technical difference between the terms. Remember that a living room should feel like people actually live there, even if you're going for a more formal look.

Mix and match your favorites to create a space that's uniquely you. To keep the room from looking too Little House on the Prairie, bring in some softer elements for some contrast. When you've been given the gift of gorgeous windows, sometimes it makes sense to leave them untouched by window treatments. When it comes to designing a living room from scratch, we think the best place to start is by drawing up a plan for your living room. There are loads of great apps and websites that can help you do this, or just could just go old school with some graph paper and a pencil. 'For years floor tiles have been the go-to floor option for consumers in kitchens,  bathrooms, and traffic-heavy hallways.

Danielle Nagel of Dazey Den took a soft pink and made it her muse for this living area. A deep teal chair is one of the only other shades in the space. You'll be spending a lot of time in the living room, so you might as well like the furniture.

"We wanted to create a space that really captured the client’s personality," designers Dekay & Tate say. "This space is very expressive, vibrant, creative and nods to a fun, mid-century, groovy style." 'A rug can add the perfect finishing touch to your living room,' says Jen and Mar from Interior Fox. You can also make storage a key feature of your living room design. Floating shelves, bookcases, sideboards, all of these can be decorated beautifully. We love this living room look as it's cozy and nods a little to the industrial trend too.

She covered the brick fireplace, walls, and ceiling of this living room in a deep hunter green shade, keeping the floors and furniture light. This Hollywood Hills home, designed by Studio Mellone, proves you don’t need particularly modern furniture to create a living room; colorful artwork will do just the trick. This artwork by Doug Aitken gives the rest of the neutral space a modern twist that creates contrast in the surrounding wood architecture. Create a living space bursting with personality with expressive artwork that transforms walls into a colorful narrative.

Elevate your space into a luxe sanctuary of comfort with a variety of different materials and textures across furniture, furnishings, textiles, and window treatment ideas. Add indulgent interest to the touch and eye with velvet drapes, the best sofa adorned with cushions and throws in mixed cotton, relaxed linens and velvets, and a gorgeously fluffy, handmade rug. Unite the textures in a shared hue or harmonized, tonal scheme. Alcove shelving maximises every inch of space and gives way to display ornaments and potted plants.

Abstract floral wallpaper creates a dramatic backdrop in this living room. The metallic ceiling pendant and table lamp bring a contemporary contrast, while the sweeping wooden frame of the coffee table and grey rug add texture and softness. The world’s famed designers create exquisite interiors for their clients, but what about the spaces they fashion for themselves? For these sought-after professionals, their own homes are places to express their personal tastes and experiment with new trends, showcase bold patterns, and display treasured art and antiques.

But we say get more creative than that, pull furniture away from walls, give it some breathing space and you'll usually find it makes the room feel airier. Before we get into all those lovely living room furnishings, let's just focus on the practical stuff quickly like living room layout ideas. Whether you are starting totally from scratch in a new room or want to update your existing space, deciding on a layout can dictate your decor choices. Kick-start your living room update by creating your dream custom curtains and drapes with The Drape’s gorgeous selection of textured designs. 'Choose crisp or brilliant white tones for small spaces to create a clean and calming ambience. Eggshell or satin finishes typically reflect light, creating the illusion of more space,' says Zara O'Hare.

Landers and Lister then inadvertently foil the plan as the former discovers the stolen medicine; as they attempt to arrest the trio, the house soon eats them all. Separated from the officers, the children explore the sleeping house and end up in its basement. They find all the toys Nebbercracker had stolen and a shrine to his wife, Constance the Giantess, whose skeletal remains are encased in cement. The house soon awakens and attacks them, but they trigger its gag reflex by grabbing its uvula equivalent (a chandelier), forcing it to vomit them outside.

Running Time:

The house had the slinkies snatch Chowder before doing the same on the pipes (organs) that snatch Jenny and had the wooden stairs attack DJ, who barely escaped back to the hall that turned into a mouth cavity, with his friends nearly devoured. Thanks to Jenny's quick actions in pulling the house's lamp, the possessed house ended up vomiting them to the outside, along with the contraptions that they supposedly used to make it sleep. DJ convinces his friends to keep up with their search for the house's furnace.

Unfortunately, Constance's anger shoots through the roof upon overhearing their conversation; she turns two of the trees around her into hands and legs, uproots the house, and chases the four of them. He attempts to blow up his house with a dynamite, but Constance, having lost all reason and succumbing to her urge to kill, grabs Nebbercracker. Fortunately, DJ, Chowder, and Jenny save him by attacking the house with an excavator. In desperation, Nebbercracker asks DJ for his assistance in destroying the house. However, DJ accidentally desecrated Constance's remains by breaking the concrete casing that covered the corpse, revealing the skeleton and inciting the house's fury. The house then picks them up one by one after spotting the kids before they find the place to hide.

The film features the voices of Mitchel Musso, Sam Lerner, Spencer Locke, Steve Buscemi, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kevin James, Nick Cannon, Jason Lee, Fred Willard, Jon Heder, Catherine O'Hara, and Kathleen Turner. After DJ, Chowder, and Jenny manage to defeat and destroy the house, Nebbercracker is seen dancing with Constance's ghost before she goes on to the afterlife. Saddened by Constance's departure, Nebbercracker mourns for her and his house while clutching the only remnant of his house, the doorknob. DJ apologizes to Nebbercracker for his losses; Nebbercracker acknowledges that he and Constance have been trapped for 45 years, and thanks DJ, Chowder, and Jenny for freeing them from their misery. At the site of his house, Nebbercracker, with the help of DJ, Jenny, and Chowder, returns all the items he confiscated back to their owners. As Jenny goes home with her mom, Nebbercracker bids farewell to DJ and Chowder while giving Chowder his basketball back and jokingly tells them to stay off his lawn.

There, they discovered Nebbercracker’s old explosives and photographs depicting Nebbercracker when he was young alongside his wife Constance when she was alive. DJ stated that Zee and Bones had a conversation about Nebbercracker’s past life and assumed that he devoured Constance much to Jenny’s disgust. Just then, Chowder spotted the hanging lamp (the uvula) in the house’s hall, prompting them to shoot it.

Role in the film:

Provoked, she attempted to chase them off as Nebbercracker tries to stop her, only to be knocked out as she stumbled and fell into the unfinished basement with her body accidentally being coated in cement, suffocating her. Nebbercracker then finished the house's construction in Constance's memory, but her vengeful spirit soon merged with it. Over the years, Nebbercracker feigned aggression to protect innocent people from her. Observing a group of children in Halloween costumes nearby, he realizes he doesn't have much time, and approaches his house.

He then approaches his house which becomes possessed again but somewhat became gentle to him. Nebbercracker was at first furious after he had discovered the truth, but eventually relents and tells them both his and Constance's story. DJ lives across the street from Mr. Nebbercracker, a grumpy old man who takes and keeps anything that lands on his lawn. Chowder, DJ's best friend, accidentally loses his new basketball in Nebbercracker's yard.

He almost crashed into DJ, who is returning home after his disappointment of destroying the house's heart. Nebbercracker, realising that it was Halloween attempts to go back to his house and calm his wife before she becomes active. He reveals his past to DJ; revealing how he met his wife and the real circumstances of her death and her soul possessing their house before he attempts to go back inside. Not long afterwards, he sense his wife's presence and learned that both her death, and love for Nebbercracker led her to possess the house. This made him take precautions on that one night of every year, Halloween; he was aware that Constance's spirit caused the house to come alive, and there was the risk of the house attacking innocent children trick-or-treating and even adults. He knows that the pain and suffering that his wife had in her lifetime has made her into a tricky but savage, bloodthirsty, and murderous monstrosity of her former self.

Chowder obtains some cold medication, which will make the living house drowsy, from his father's pharmacy and stuffs it inside a dummy. The children's plan almost succeeds, but the two police officers who had appeared earlier find them with the dummy full of drugs and arrest them. The officers put the three children in the back of their police car while they go to look inside the house. The house swallows the two police officers and the car with the children inside it .

That night, when Constance was locked in the circus car (possibly due to many people eventually disgusted with her looks to the point that the manager locked her up and let the children make fun of her), Nebbercracker helped her escape from the circus and married her. Only a little later, their house began construction, and that's when the trouble began as their happiness proved short-lived. Children always mocked Constance for her body like her days back in circus whenever they met, and often threw eggs, tomatoes, and rocks at her. This ultimately led to the tragedy, that both change Nebbercracker's life and set the whole events of the movie. In her final form, Constance is completely demolished, but quickly assembles her broken pieces into an even more menacing form. Her entire body is made of jagged, broken pieces of wood with now-shattered window eyes and a triangular mouth with longer fangs.

The plot centers around three children who discover that a house in the neighborhood has become possessed by a ghost, turning the building into a living, breathing, scary monster. She's a sweet girl who studies at Westbrook Preparatory School and is selling candies at homes before Halloween kicks in. The day of Halloween, she meets DJ and Chowder after they save her from almost getting herself killed by the Monster House.

The plain suburban setting becomes (as it did in “E.T.” and Mr. Zemeckis’s “Back to the Future” movies) a zone of enchantment, in no small part because it seems so real. Shortly afterwards, an ambulance arrives to take Nebbercracker to the hospital as DJ and Chowder look on in dismay. To make matters worse, Nebbercracker's departure causes Constance's spirit within the house to awaken, and with Nebbercracker gone, there is no one to keep her calm. Nebbercracker is a tall and slender man with short black and brown hair, blue eyes and wears a white sleeveless shirt with brown suspenders that are attached to his hips and shoulders at the beginning of the film and during his time with Constance moments before her death.

When DJ attempts to retrieve his best friend Chowder's basketball from his lawn, he is caught by Nebbercracker, and after accidentally damaging his lawn, Nebbercracker furiously grabs DJ, and lifts him off the ground and yells at him. DJ's weight causes Nebbercracker's bones to crack, and at the same time, he suffers a heart attack, causing him to faint on top of DJ. As he is away recovering in the hospital, his wife in the house becomes more active and aggressive, especially anyone that trespasses the lawn. As the kids managed to escape the house, Horace woke up from the hospital and stole an ambulance to hurry back to his home in fear that his wife may become aggressive.

Suddenly, Constance disarmed him and ultimately lost her ability to reasoning, as she has succumbed to her murderous instinct to kill. When Nebbercracker was immediately brought to the hospital, Constance immediately awakened from her years of slumber. The house's fireplace started burning on it's own, and with both the house and her lawn under her control. She caused them to emit groaning voices as the ambulance approaches to carry her husband away. As the medics put Nebbercracker's body on a carriage, she possesses grass on the lawn and tried to prevent them from leaving, but failed. None of anyone aware with this, while her spirit, from the house's window, glares on unsuspecting DJ and Chowder, causes it to crack before they left.

As the boys leave, Chowder states that Nebbercracker will find a way to get his life back on track. Nebbercracker assured her that he would protect her to the best of his ability. As the children started throwing eggs at her, Constance went berserk, despite Nebbercracker’s attempts to calm her down, and she fell into the basement, getting covered in cement as well, killing her. Though still furious, the house calmed down, and they had a brief conversation.

‘Monster House’ is big fun.

Horace Nebbercracker, also known as Mr. Nebbercracker, or Nebbercracker to some characters, is the overarching protagonist of the 2006 animated film Monster House. Her tongue resembles a red elongated carpet, a chandelier resembling a uvula, and a green throat which is an opened pit with sharp boards circling. The house remains still until morning, though DJ and Chowder continue to watch it from DJ’s room for hours even with Zee’s interference and resort to peeing in bottles, so they won’t miss any of the possessed house’s activities.

Mr Nebbercracker

Nebbercracker proceeds by lifting him upwards and unleashed several tantrums on his face. This, however, made a great mistake; due to his elderly age, he forgot that his body is no longer able to endure the boy's weight and he had a heart attack at the same time. One day, when Chowder's basketball accidentally flew into Nebbercracker's lawn and prompts DJ to bring it back, Nebbercracker ambushes and storms toward him. DJ tries to calm him down, but this does not change Nebbercracker's mind to scare him further. Nebbercracker proceeds by lifting him upwards and unleashing several tantrums on his face. This is however a great mistake; due to his elderly age, he forgot that his body could no longer endure the boy's weight and he had a heart attack at the same time.

Appearances

The tragedy occurred in at Halloween, the last day where children laughed at Constance, and she said she was going to "rip them to bits". Mr. Nebbercracker, whom see her complain over the children's bullying, told her, "As long as I'm here, I will never let anybody hurt you." However, just as he said so, the children continued their throwing, which now in a more aggressive manner. The enraged Constance then uses the axe that Nebbercracker was holding to hurt the children, but ended up knocked away in attempt to take the axe back. This made her lose her footing, and to regain her unruly balance, she pulled accidentally the switch on the cement mixer, falling in with a lump of liquid concrete, and was killed. Following Constance becoming their house and attacking the neighborhood children who comes near her, he still continued protecting the children from his vengeful wife.

From adulthood, Nebbercracker was a rather caring and understanding person, looking passed the overweight appearance of Constance who was treated as sideshow attraction; to the point of even falling in love with her and taking her from her former life. He soon found a place where the two of them could build a life for themselves, where he also built his house. St. Petersburg Police Department said on Friday just after 12 p.m., officers were called out to a house about a shooting. Constance hates Jenny because she helped DJ and chowder to stop her evil plan and was the one who cause herself to throw her, DJ and chowder out of the house.

A “Monster House” and only 14 days until Halloween - Yakima Herald-Republic

A “Monster House” and only 14 days until Halloween.

Posted: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 07:00:00 GMT [source]

Mr. Nebbercracker hates kids and confiscates everything that lands on his lawn, telling people to stay off it and from his house due to his knowledge that the house is sapient. Beneath that rotten surface, however, there lies a sad man with justifiable reasons as to why he would behave horribly grumpy.All spoilers are unmarked. In the hospital, when Nebbercracker nearly recovers, he realized that he has left Constance, she started her killing spree, and quickly stole one of the ambulances in the hospital to stop her from doing further damage. Mr. Nebbercracker, appears to be mean and heartless to anyone on his lawn, but only because he is afraid his house will attack the person. He is most likely in his sixties or seventies, as he's pretty slow on his feet.

Old Man Nebbercracker's House

Chowder looks behind, where the house became more deformed than it previously was before returning to normal. DJ urges Nebbercracker to let Constance go on to the afterlife for the better. Nebbercracker is uneasy about this, stating that he’ll have no one if he lets her go, but DJ convinces him otherwise.

DJ has considered abandoning the case after being fed up with the argument, only to be unexpectedly hit by an ambulance by accident which turned out to be hijacked by the still-living Nebbercracker. DJ was happy that he didn't cause the old man to be killed, but only crippled him instead. Nebbercracker then lashed out to the trio to leave, but his wrath quickly changes into worry as he realised that it was Halloween and kids would be approaching his house.

She lost her footing and fell to her death in the house's foundations, her body becoming buried beneath layers of cement. Nebbercracker finished the house, believing that it was what Constance would have wanted, before discovering that Constance's angry ghost had made the house come to life. To keep children away from the dangerous house, Nebbercracker pretended to be a child-hating old man. The trio consults supernatural expert Reginald "Skull" Skulinski, who speculates the house must be a rare type of monster created by the fusion of a human's spirit and a man-made object that can only be unbound when its heart is struck. Ascertaining that the presumably-deceased Nebbercracker is the cause, the trio construct a dummy filled with cough syrup Chowder stole from a pharmacy owned by his father. They offer the dummy to the house to eat, hoping to put it to sleep so they can find its "heart" (its furnace).

When awakened or disturbed, parts of Constance break apart to further reveal her monstrous nature and she puts herself back together when calming down. When consumed by rage, her overall appearance is more ferocious than her previous state. The middlemost trees uproot and attach to her roof allowing her to walk, her wooden teeth become more pronounced, a bunch of shingles are ripped out revealing holes, and her eyes are now a fiery orange color.

Monster House welcomes kids and adults alike into a household full of smart, monstrous fun. Monster House is a 2006 Halloween-themed American computer generated animation movie, directed by Gil Kenan. It features the voice talents of Steve Buscemi as Nebbercracker, Mitchell Musso as DJ, Sam Lerner as Chowder, Spencer Locke as Jenny, Maggie Gyllenhall as Zee, Jon Heder as Skull and Jason Lee as Bones. While they agree with people that DJ might be crazy, they nevertheless love him and try to do what's best for him. In the aftermath, the quartet gather at the house's still-intact basement, returning everything Nebbercracker stole to their rightful owners.

Later on, when DJ and Chowder sought to investigate the house, Chowder, who doesn't believe strange things that occurred inside the house, starts to fool around on the house's lawn. They discovered Bones' empty bottle but dismissed it and toss it aside, unaware that the possessed grass on the lawn pulled it underground. Everything seems normal until Chowder pressed the bell, and the house awakened. The door (the mouth) suddenly opens, revealing its interior's fractures, and shifts into a mouth-like cavern. Even the house's exterior turned into a demonic form while retaining its former appearance. The horrified Chowder is then chased by the house's rug (the tongue) that acts like a chameleon's tongue, and barely escapes.

This became worse when she is in her monstrous and deranged final form as she is strong enough to destroy an excavator. Constance Nebbercracker, also known as the Monster House, is the titular main antagonist of the 2006 Columbia Pictures computer-animated film of the same name. As in most ghost stories, the fright stands in for other emotions — grief, disappointment, loneliness — and the film’s climactic sequences combine hair-raising sensation with dreamy and delicate pathos.
