Fab Freebie: Light Up A Room (& Board)

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***

We were so pumped when Room & Board wrote to us about doing a giveaway. Their furniture and accessories are practically the epitome of the clean-lined, comfortable-yet-sophisticated, natural-material-ed (?) aesthetic that we love. And while there’s plenty to ogle over on their site, one of their Galbraith & Paul pendant lights is officially up for grabs. There are a wide variety of graphic pattern-happy designs, so follow this link to hunt down your favorite (and we completely understand if you get sidetracked by all of the pillows while you’re there).

Room Board Pendants

Here are the deets:

  • PRIZE: One Galbraith & Paul pendant (priced up to $449) from Room & Board
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M BOARD” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … if you could pick any room in your house to magically be more illuminated and full of light, what space would that be? Your basement? A closet? A tiny half bathroom?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, October 13th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 48 contiguous United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

This giveaway’s random winner is… Liz Zankowski (who’s loved these pendants so long that she was excited just at the chance to win). Well, now you’ve won – congrats!

And everyone else can take advantage of Room & Board’s Designer Lighting Event. You can score 15% off Modernica, Flos and Pablo lighting now through Oct 19th.

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Room & Board.

    Our dining room is in MUCH need of a lighting makeover! I love that our house has AMAZING gumwood crown and shoe molding but it is dark and thick (the shoe molding is about 8 inches high and the crown about 6 inches), making the room look dark.

    If I could cut out a window for my kitchen to let in some natural light in – I would. Unfortunately, I live in a town home and if I cut a window for the kitchen, it would open up to someone’s pad instead of the outdoors! :) I think these pendants lights are gorgeous! I would put one in the guest bedroom to give it some oomph!

    I’M BOARD… the room that i would like to magically illuminate would be my living room. After living in my house for over a year, we still haven’t gotten a lamp for that room yet! Although it’s not like anyone is allowed to go in there, thanks to the expensive furniture that I won’t let my kids touch, LOL!

    My husband and I totally need more light in our Brooklyn living room! We usually keep the overhead lights off because the building put up horrible track lighting in the middle of the room. We would love to replace it with a gorgeous pendant!

    Thank you!
