Fab Freebie: Schoolhouse Rocks
Time to give away more free stuff! And for this one we’re stepping back in time to do so. I’m talking about the truly old-school light fixtures made by Schoolhouse Electric.
We’ve always been big fans of their products, and even got to see a few fixtures in person when we house crashed Christi and Barrett in Charlotte (check out the pendants above their kitchen island). Schoolhouse Electric’s collection of pendants, sconces, shades and ceiling-mount lighting are a stylish throwback to several period styles (as well as some modern ones) that are made in true vintage fashion: their glass shades are both hand-blown and hand-painted.
So, on to the freebie part – we’re giving away one Otis 4 ceiling-mount fixture in satin nickel with an modern aqua shade (that’s an $162 value). Here’s a close-up of the beauty below:
To enter, comment on this post with the words “SCHOOL ME” and, for fun, why not tell us your favorite and/or least favorite subject in school while you’re at it (i.e “My favorite was definitely recess, but my least favorite had to be chemistry.“) As usual, there’s only one entry per e-mail address and, so sorry, but this giveaway is for the lower 48 US states only. We’re accepting entries ’til 8pm EST on Wednesday, Dec 10th and will announce the winner later in the week.
We can’t wait to see this fixture rocking the ceiling in one of your houses soon (you know we’re going to beg for pictures, right?). So go ahead, comment away!

I was all about reading and science. Math and I did not get along so well.
OMG. That would have to be my favorite piece of theirs. How did you know? And I have just the place for it, right in my foyer. School me, indeed! Thanks, Youngsters, for the pefect giveaway.
My favorite subject was Latin. And my least favorite was pre-calculus. I can’t even imagine how awful post-calculus would have been!

SCHOOL ME. I love this light fixture!
My favorite class in grade school was always art, then photography in high school. Least favorite was math – precalculus, statistics, geometry – I hated them all!

My favorite subject was chemistry, even though I went onto college to study American studies, English, and gender studies.
SCHOOL ME!
My jaw dropped when I saw that you were giving away one of Schoolhouse Electric’s fixtures. I’ve loved them for several years now and am so happy that we’ll soon have a new home in which to install them.
Favorite subject: English
Least favorite: Geometry
School me!!!
I’d have to say my favorite subject in school was history. I know that bores many people, but I’ve always been fascinated with previous events and times. My least favorite class in school would have to been math. I always did well in those classes, but I definitely didn’t love them.
SCHOOL ME!!! the fixture is gorgeous!! my favorite subject was english. least favorite was any type of science.
SCHOOL ME!
Yay for local Portland companies.
Least favorite: Chemistry
Most favorite: Psychology
My favorite was art and least favorite was math. My brain just doesn’t work that way!
SCHOOL ME! I have had my eye on this for the last year or so. I have to say my least favorite subject was MATH. So boring. Memorizing all of the formulas dulled me to, literally, tears. I loved history and art, occasionally English.
SCHOOL ME
Favorite: Geometry. No question.
School me! That light fixture would look fantastic in our entryway. My favorite subject was math (now I’m an engineer) and my least favorite was history.
School me! This company is awesome.
school me! I loved biology and loathed math.
School me! That company is yet anther reason to move to Portland…so chic!
Favorite subject? Art, and teasing (well, early flirting) with boys at a terribly young age.
Least fave? Math. no doubt.
School me! My favorite subject was physics, now a mechanical engineer. Least favorite was History.
School me! (it would look *perfect* in our home office – we’ve just started remodeling!)
Favorite: Chemistry, Psychology
Least Favorite: Geometry
School Me! I loved school! I can’t pick a favorite subject, but my least favorite was science. I guess that’s why I became a teacher (in Portland, the same place these lights are made)!
School me! What a great lamp!!!! My favorite subject has always been and will always be English. What a nerd I love being! I suppose my least favorite in school was history. I came to love the subject as an adult, but remember really struggling to enjoy it growing up.
School Me!
Favorite subject in high school was Film (hence my B.A. in Film now!) or English, and least favorite, by far, was History, because I was terrible at it. And I was really great at Math but I didn’t particularly enjoy it. My mind just works like that I guess. :-)
School ME! Love your site!
I have a hard time picking favorites. I loved my American History class in high school because it was really challenging. I also enjoyed Algebra because I was the smartest in the class… I’m a geek, can you tell? I hate geometry and biology. Mainly because I didn’t like the teachers and they didn’t like me.
SCHOOL ME! I love this fixture and have been thinking about it for my kitchen for weeks. My favorite subject was reading (still is, I’m a teacher!) and my least favorite was science.
School me! It would look great in my hallway. Favorite subject was English and I hated chemistry. Thanks!

SCHOOL ME! :) My favorite subjects were the arts – choir, art of any kind, etc. However, my favorite REAL subject was history. My love for history was spawned by an AMAZING teacher who was able to inspire enough enthusiasm for History in high school juniors that many of them at my school took an ELECTIVE history course their senior year of high school! :)
School me – My favorite subjects was English – least was Geography. This light fixture is adorable and would be a great inspiration to redo my laundry room!
oops! Seems like I didn’t learn much in English – just re-read my post – favorite SUBJECT (singular) was English…..
School me, please! Yay for portland companies!!! My favorite subject was/is Spanish!
School me! Favorite was science and least favorite was geography. Guess what I married? A geography major.
SCHOOL ME!!!!! My favorite subject(s) was English/Art… I can’t pick one, my least favorite… math. I have been eyeing this light for my kitchen that we are in the process of remodeling!
Puh-lease SCHOOL ME! My favorite subject was history. Least favorite was math…Which is too bad, what with me in the midst of a week full of budget meetings…
