Light-Hearted

On this gloomy, rainy Monday here in Nashville, I thought I would talk about lighting. Specifically, the very cool lighting featured in our new <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/nashville-green-hills?cm_ven=google&cm_cat=store_openings&cm_pla=fls_nashville&cm_ite=nordstrom_b">Nordstrom</a> store here in Music City. Yes, we finally got a Nordstrom. We are so happy. I can't afford much in there, but did manage to get some Tom's shoes for my daughter. But, back to the lighting . . . I mainly loved the way the store set the mood in different departments with varied options. First up, the men's department. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pxtGZv-MHkqIRbpY86NnOwFq0f0zIDfyi6wr3So0m2437scJDNCLjh9pHUbDOHU1Po2P7t6DuLVDCvinN6d0peklTVZNsPSXmp3FeDboNU3z3Q6cPTWot-qp9rkitQ-YWhkUM_mWyOth/s1600/IMG_1230.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pxtGZv-MHkqIRbpY86NnOwFq0f0zIDfyi6wr3So0m2437scJDNCLjh9pHUbDOHU1Po2P7t6DuLVDCvinN6d0peklTVZNsPSXmp3FeDboNU3z3Q6cPTWot-qp9rkitQ-YWhkUM_mWyOth/s400/IMG_1230.jpg" width="298" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Once again, my apologies for my iPhone photos.

I don't know much about retail design, but the lighting definitely made an impression on me. Of course, the rest of the store looked nice too and gave off a very chic vibe. Or maybe I was just so excited that we finally have a <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/nashville-green-hills?cm_ven=google&cm_cat=store_openings&cm_pla=fls_nashville&cm_ite=nordstrom_b">Nordstrom</a>, I overlooked any faults. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And since we're on the subject of lighting, I couldn't tell you why, but lately I have been seriously lusting after a <a href="http://www.dwr.com/category/lighting/collections/mouille.do">Serge Mouille black lamp or light fixture</a>.

There were plenty more appealing options for them to partake in (basketball game watching and play dates, to be exact), but I can be very persuasive especially when I promise fast food on the way and a $5 spending allowance for each child.

Perfect for an entryway. Don't love the scalloped edge/skirt . . . would have preferred a clean line, but could overlook it. For $129, I thought it wasn't a bad deal. If you needed a little table. Nice shadow. Can you tell I'm not exactly a photography expert? Note the deer head next to the table. It freaked out my dear daughter.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4JfW3nQ9L714fAVsEuVzuSr-cavYaoRu1YhY-VcgqnPOGxQrU8ivQGTvxMg7ZDLQPCau4KA7Rz8XirFBrB0nQBLd7sEv1mhJ7RJ7Wmtf9WK-wv_QM-OFUJmvTVncqdF8HB1J3Lq-nEdI/s1600-h/IMG_4652.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4JfW3nQ9L714fAVsEuVzuSr-cavYaoRu1YhY-VcgqnPOGxQrU8ivQGTvxMg7ZDLQPCau4KA7Rz8XirFBrB0nQBLd7sEv1mhJ7RJ7Wmtf9WK-wv_QM-OFUJmvTVncqdF8HB1J3Lq-nEdI/s400/IMG_4652.jpg" width="300" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgLmrarmf_srKsCEhGGUHq96J6A1hE1NGT5MXZj6hB2XqhlQ8dtwYRBDDXAMLWuOXH5vmHb1nS8lYd-sLhgwPtt6tpAcu-ys4AnC9RpCum5DZ2QJLedPngLXrVT0-qI8ydStluARpSYqk/s1600-h/IMG_4653.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgLmrarmf_srKsCEhGGUHq96J6A1hE1NGT5MXZj6hB2XqhlQ8dtwYRBDDXAMLWuOXH5vmHb1nS8lYd-sLhgwPtt6tpAcu-ys4AnC9RpCum5DZ2QJLedPngLXrVT0-qI8ydStluARpSYqk/s400/IMG_4653.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHBJIGX234rkwx7AQEahwdiLUcv8wjw77RKskw3nebMmITGKEmV_CA4neBtn_VLMZ18uwYJ2a-4cnoQT6hJDLfJHK0kBlE16TPeuPltqRPJT_6bxD7mVsAur4LhVvpJ7YFT2QSwRlvJVE/s1600-h/IMG_4654.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHBJIGX234rkwx7AQEahwdiLUcv8wjw77RKskw3nebMmITGKEmV_CA4neBtn_VLMZ18uwYJ2a-4cnoQT6hJDLfJHK0kBlE16TPeuPltqRPJT_6bxD7mVsAur4LhVvpJ7YFT2QSwRlvJVE/s400/IMG_4654.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was drawn to these light fixtures.
