Interior Design: How Important Is Lighting? Very

One of the most important things in interior design, and it's often forgotten about, is ambient lighting. Ambient lighting can not only alter your mood, but it can help your room look bigger. One tip is to combine ambient lighting with mirrors to maximize room enlarging illusions.

Always consult a licensed professional before attempting any home renovations, but here are some ideas to get you started.

Even changing out light fixtures on porches, in kitchens, and any 'unusual' place to hang a light can help to add to the overall feel of the room. Just make sure the fixture matches the style of the room and isn't to large for the space.

Road Trip: Motoring at it's best, the Aston Martin One-77

I can hardly even begin to explain this car do to the fact just thinking about it makes me gasp. From the sleek exterior to the ridiculous power beneath the hood, this car is the perfect car for a country drive.

The Aston Martin One-77 is nothing to mess with. Hidden beneath this beautiful hood is a 6.0 liter V12 and produces over 700 horsepower. It goes 0-60 in less than 3.5 seconds and hits top speeds at 200mph. But if that doesn't get you going, check out the sexiness of the design.

Fallen for it yet? Well, this supercar isn't cheap but it can be yours for an easy 1 million euros. But act fast - there are only 77 units being built, if they haven't already sold out.
