Fab Freebie: Cool Shades

Ready for more free stuff? Do I even need to ask?

This week’s giveaway comes from Shades of Light, a local specialty lighting and decor store whose wide selection of products have been featured everywhere from Cottage Living to Coastal Living and even on decor8. And if you live here in Richmond, you’ve probably driven by their location on Broad St. across from Willow Lawn. We actually bumped into them most recently at a local blogging event, where we learned that they’ve started an Inspired Spaces blog which features expert insights on lighting your home, as well as great before & after pictures of their design projects.

Shades of Light offers a wide selection of styles (vintage, classic, contemporary, etc) across a wide variety of items (lamps, chandeliers, pendants, rugs, mirrors and even furniture) which you can browse in their store, online and by catalog. But this week we’re giving away their exclusive natural-meets-elegant bamboo table lamp to one lucky winner, who will get to choose between the silver one and the black one pictured below.

To enter the contest just comment on this post with the words “LIGHT ME UP” by Wednesday, February 25th at 8pm EST. While you’re at it tell us what else makes you light up with excitement (chocolate? weekends? chihuahuas?). This prize is available to residents of the lower 48 United States and, as usual, there’s only one entry per e-mail address allowed. One winner will be selected using random.org and announced later in the week. Good luck…

If you’re looking for more info about our giveaways you can find it here. All images courtesy of Shades of Light.

    Oh boo!! Why can’t this be to Canada as well? My bf usually hates everything I show him from design magazines. However last month, I showed him a room that featured quite a bit of “nature” inspired pieces, including a branch lamp… and HE LOVED IT!!! This would have been great to win!

    One thing that lights me up is when I find some orphaned piece of furniture on the sidewalk, in the dump, in the alley, etc. and I think “I can do something with that!”
    Sadly most times I can’t find the time to execute all of my brilliant ideas! :-)
