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.

    I’M BOARD! This pendant would totally go in my dining room (so itching for this kind of look!) But honestly, I really would love lights in our closets and pantry.

    I’m board and in desperate need of a new fixture for my 50’s ranch entryway! I actually haven’t seen this designer before and had a PLAIN light just like those picked out. But those are clearly better!

    …and our living area is in desperate need of illumination. Thanks to large windows we get great light during the day, but at night it’s illuminated by the TV and the occasional candle. Not exactly prime reading or board game lighting.

    Honestly, my hallway is what needs the most light but I don’t know how I’m ever gonna get it there. However, if I won this giveaway there would be a new light fixture going into my craft room (which is current in demo mode for new tile).

    I’m Board! My husbands job relocated to a new state with a new house and there’s only one issue with this house – horrible lighting. It’s very dark and I’ve been on the hunt for inexpensive lighting, but winning this amazing pendant would be wonderful!!! Thanks YHL for providing the opportunity!

    I could definitely use more lighting in my reading room (which has been re-purposed from a formal dining). Right now it has a chandelier which is supposed to hang over a dining room table. It looks strange just hanging out in the middle of the room!

    I’m Board…my dining room has a little fixture that is approximately 30 times smaller than the space it is trying to fill, so needless to say it looks completely ridiculous. Sad times. I would love a new look for the space!

    I’m board, but I have to admit I just found y’alls website and I LOVE IT! My husband and I bought our first home this summer and we have endless projects. Most of them are just ideas that we don’t know how to make into reality. Hopefully this site will help. For the shade, I thought it would be awesome in our huge walk-in closet to kind of give it that boutique vibe or either in the dining room or entry way to show it off. ;)

    Our living room needs a lot more light, which is ironic because it has a lot of windows. It’s just that the thermal curtains block out a lot of the light. So we really want a nice lamp for that room.

    I would love to illuminate the living room. It’s big and has no built in ceiling lights or anything, so it just needs a lot of lamps and fixtures to really brighten up all the corners.
