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.

    I’M BOARD
    My entire living room is actually TOO bright with so many overhead lights connected to only one switch. I’d really love to have a single light over a side table or something for reading.

    I’M BOARD

    I already fixed the lack of light in the family room. Adding 6 can lights and updating the existing wall sconces did the trick. I’d say my garage could use more light, but the sixteen 4′ T8 bulbs do quite nicely. The office always seems dark, so that room could use a light in the middle of the ceiling, or we could replace the ugly lights in the dining room or kitchen.

    God, I wish my living room had more light. I never realized how shady it would be in there but this big tree in our front lawn just cuts out the sun. I refuse to cut down the magestic tree, though….

    As always, our master bedroom falls into “the most pooorly lit room” category. Maybe adding a little funk and additional lighting is just what we need….

    I’m bored and love Room and Board stuff. My newly painted dining room could use a pop of interest and color with great lighting. Whenever I visit Colorado one of my stops is to the actual Room and Board store. The catalog has to do between visits.
