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!! I would love some light in my master bedroom, we have no overhead lights and only three lamps. We have plenty of windows, but the largest faces north and the other is west so there’s only sun in the afternoon (and then it’s blinding).

    I’m (on) board! Since we spend a lot of time in our living room so my boyfriend (and partner in crime/design) and I can work on our jewelry business while still spending time together, it would be really nice to have some inspiring lamps like these to illuminate our living room-turned-studio. Truly some beautiful pieces!

    “I’M BOARD”

    Our master bath is tragically in need of more lighting. Think of a 12×12 room broken up into 4 areas by 3 different walls…and the only light fixture is the 6 bulb light bar above the vanity!

    I’m “ON BOARD” from the Philippines! That’s right. I flew all the way to the Philippines for work and still had time to check your blog. :) There’s a good chance I’m your #1 creepy fan. hehe.

    I’d definitely use this light in our dining room. Like you we had to make our living room a dining/living combo, but haven’t created a lighting solution yet. Thanks for a great giveaway!

    I’M BOARD! Gorgeous lights… My whole house! Apparently, 1867 was the year to build houses with lots and lots of dark wood beams (the impossible to get rid of, holding up the house kind)… even though we have picture windows everywhere, we still have to turn on lamps sometimes on sunny days to do certain things… ugh!
