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! Our Living Room needs a little extra illumination. Daytime it’s fabulous, but not so much in the evenings. And we’re pretty much maxed out on table and floor lamps, making a pretty pendant the perfect solution!

    I’m Bored!

    I would love to add a pendant to our kitchen. Even though it has two big windows in there, one of them is covered by a ceiling over our porch and the other is window requires light to go around a huge wall and back to a corner to come in. Not the best of circumstances for light’s sake.

    I don’t think there’s a room in this house with the proper amount of lighting. But I’m pretty sure I’d start with our kitchen, which currently has no light at all. I actually have a desk lamp plugged in on the counter for seeing at night. Fancy!

    I’M BOARD and on board with this give away. I love the picture and that is kind of what I was picturing in my dining room area (I want to ditch the current light fixture).
    My room of choice for more light is the family/dining room. It’s often lonely because it’s not too inviting.
