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! and I’d love to use one of these lights in our living room to replace the hideously ugly ‘contractor special’ fixture on our ceiling. We refer to it as the “nipple light”, because… well… you get the idea.

    I’M BOARD! We are renting a house in Colorado and, although I’m generally happy with the space and what we’ve been able to do with it on a budget, I abhor the kitchen lighting. I would use one of these beautiful pendants to brighten up the kitchen table space!

    I’M BOARD with not enough light over my desk even in the middle of the day! Help me Room & Board! I would be so grateful to receive a pendant light so that I can better read and write and work on videos. I make videos for non-profits and artists. And while editors typically need a darkened room, there are many times when I have to have some light to be able to look over notes, do some writing, or read text related to the project. I have a desk lamp but the halogen light burns out quickly and it is UGLY!

    Please shed some light and beauty on my desk! Thanks a million!
