Another seating area with views of the garden was designed for more intimate dining, games, or meetings, and it’s illuminated by a Murano glass chandelier. At the far end of the room, Levine installed a lush purple sofa with cocktail tables, creating the perfect spot for drinks, dessert, or relaxing with a cup of coffee. Designer Rachel Scheff used the home’s spectacular ceiling, woodwork, and stained glass as the inspirations for her fanciful, flora- and fauna-filled foyer. “It was one of my favorite rooms in the house because it was the one that had the most history preserved, and I wanted to really celebrate that,” she told AD PRO.

The designers worked with a color palette of Dunn-Edwards paints, and several chose to highlight the brand’s 2024 Color of the Year, a steely blue called Skipping Stones. Nods to Pasadena’s famous peacocks can be found throughout the designs, and many creators fearlessly brought in statement floors, enveloped their spaces with jewel tones, and added texture to ceilings. Others focused on bringing the beauty of the estate’s gardens and views inside with verdant murals, floral fabrics, and nature-inspired lighting. As one of the country’s oldest house and garden tours, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design benefits the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, an all-volunteer organization that contributes to arts and music nonprofits in Southern California. The event draws more than 25,000 guests each year and offers several dining spaces, including Roe Japanese Fusion, the Tudor Rose Bistro, and Wattle & Daub Tavern.

"Let's define the gap as when somebody is not physically on the property," Choi said. The man arrested, 29-year-old Ephraim Matthew Hunter, was charged Tuesday with with residential burglary and vandalism, both felonies, along with enhancements alleging Hunter was previously convicted of a serious crime. “I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine, and we will have a chance for victory,” Zelensky said through an interpreter. Some U.S. lawmakers said coming to Ukraine’s aid now had helped avert sending a dangerous signal of U.S. weakness to Moscow. Speaking on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.), head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he was confident the U.S. would be able to resume shipments of equipment by the end of the week. Ukraine’s port of Odesa is a key Russian target, endangering the city’s UNESCO-designated historic center and challenging citizens to keep their sense of humor.

The House vote “will make the United States of America richer, further ruin Ukraine and result in the deaths of even more Ukrainians, the fault of the Kyiv regime,” Peskov said, according to official Russian media. U.S. and Ukrainian officials said resupply efforts could take place relatively quickly, because of supply chains and logistical networks established early in the more than two-year-old conflict. Field units have reported rationing artillery shells and precision rockets even as Russian troops mount an aggressive push in places like the key eastern town of Chasiv Yar. The annual event is intended to provide a humorous break from the daily cutthroat grind of political reporting and to celebrate the joys of a free press. This year, the confluence of journalism and celebrity also attracted protesters against the war between Israel and Hamas.

When Whitford tells him, "We'll take it from here", Weston decides to pursue Frost himself as Frost had warned him that when he heard that sentence ("we'll take it from here") that was when Weston should become concerned about his own safety. En route, Linklater suggests that Weston has joined Frost, which Barlow refutes.

Samatha Williams’s Tearoom in the Gatehouse is brimming with vintage charm and elegant accents. Working with Jacqueline Black and Michelle Porreca, Williams brought in a Chinoiserie wall covering to give the space a garden-like atmosphere. They also installed a grass cloth ceiling treatment and sisal rug to add texture.

The event attracted celebrities, government officials, and members of the media. Proceeds from Saturday’s dinner will help fund student journalism scholarships. A crowd of students, swelling as Johnson and his colleagues began speaking, intermittently laughed and yelled that they couldn’t hear the congressman or his colleagues.

A team led by veteran Daniel Kiefer transfers Frost to Weston's safe house in order to interrogate him for intelligence before he is returned to the US. The mercenaries, led by Vargas, attack the safe house and kill Kiefer and his team. After the dinner concluded, two protesters holding a sign saying “Stop Israel's genocide” entered the hotel's red carpet area as guests were departing. The president said later that age was the only thing he and Trump had in common, adding, “My vice president actually endorses me,” a reference to former Vice President Mike Pence's refusal to say he'll back his former running mate in 2024. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Saturday used his White House Correspondents' Association dinner speech to swipe at former President Donald Trump, taking shots at the presumptive GOP nominee while highlighting the stakes of the election.

"If I operated out of fear of a motion to vacate, I would never be able to do my job," Johnson told reporters this week. The new infusion of aid comes at a make-or-break moment for Ukraine, which has faced ammo shortages and insufficient air defenses. The bill is widely expected to pass the Senate in the coming days, as it generally mirrors a $95.3 billion national security bill passed by the upper chamber in February.

Ending his remarks on a somber note, Biden raised his glass toasting to a free press, an informed citizenry and an America where freedom and democracy endure. "I would like to point out, it's after 10 p.m. and sleepy Joe is still awake while Trump has spent the past week falling asleep in court every morning," Jost said. At one point in his speech, Biden, 81, appeared to take up the concerns Americans have about his age. Biden on Saturday targeted a slate of comments Trump has made on the campaign trail in recent months, accusing him of making "no secret of his attack on our democracy." Reynolds remembers the lush greens, beautiful flowers, and the proud Ohia Lehua trees that have since been removed from her land. Property records show that the taxes on the lot grew from $299.20 in 2018, the year Reynolds purchased the property, to $2,019.60 in 2023.

"Also, the position of the land in relation to the stars and north, south, east, and west coordinates, the sun rising and setting — all these things go into consideration." Now she's fighting in court to maintain possession of her land and to have the house that sits on it removed and the flora and fauna restored. Reynolds bought a one-acre plot of land in Hawaiian Paradise Park, a nearly 15,000-person subdivision on Hawaii's Big Island, for $22,500 at a tax auction. Now, a house — worth just over $500,000, according to the real-estate marketplace Trulia — sits vacant on the land. Basil Rodriguez, 23, argued Wednesday that Johnson and any lawmaker who backed sending aid to Israel is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Palestinians. At a December hearing, the interrogation by House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) of Harvard President Claudine Gay over whether antisemitic remarks should be protected under free speech went viral.

But while Hamm and Penn eschewed the red carpet, many others stopped to pose, including Rosario Dawson, Fran Drescher, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Rachel Brosnahan, and Hiroyuki Sanada.

All in all, we saved a little over $25,000 by the time we decided to apply for a home loan—not even close to hitting that “20 percent down” mark, but more on that later.

“We had thought, What if she actually came back to life and asked us to remodel the space? “We wanted to concentrate on polished nickels and polished chromes to get that silver feel back in,” he says of the fixtures, hardware, and lighting by Kohler and Kallista. Hermogeno and designer Lynette Chin brought in a mix of vintage and new furnishings in the family room, incorporating performance fabrics for durability. “[We made] sure that it was a really usable room, that it didn’t just look nice,” Hermogeno says.

During his monologue, Jost poked fun at Biden's age, his dwindling support from Black voters, and also took shots at Trump's ongoing court cases. The U.S. president and first lady traditionally attend the annual event, and it was far from Biden’s first. His attendance last year marked the first presidential appearance at the dinner in six years after the event’s two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic and Trump’s refusal to attend while he was in office. "It felt like when you go into a sanctuary — it was really gorgeous and I could really feel the land. It was just calling out to me," she said.
