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! We’re working on our guest room in the house my partner and I bought about a year ago. It’s crying out for a nice light.

    I’d love to have a light over my dining/breakfast nook table. It’s the one spot in my place that needs a “wow” factor in illumination.

    I’M BOARD!

    We converted our formal dining into a joint home office, since I work exclusively from home, and Mike has the option to spend at least some of his time working from home. We moved our dining set into what was originally a breakfast room. We still have a fancy chandelier in what is now our office, but it hangs too low (we both whack our heads on it) and it just isn’t the right feel for the space. We’d LOVE to go with a new fixture like these to give our office plenty of light!

    Actually, our master bedroom is way too dark (and not in that sexy, moody way… more like, I can’t tell if I’ve grabbed my navy or my gray sweater…) Would love to spruce it up with a chic pendant!

    And the room I wish were brighter and more illuminated is my 3-year old son’s room. He only has one window in his room and it always feels dark to me, even with all 3 lamps on and the overhead light.

    The bedroom needs more light. In the daytime it’s great with the windows, but since we’re in the process of remodeling, we are lacking in the light fixture department after it gets dark!

    We need more light in our living room and basement. Our living room has no ceiling lights, so the 2 lamps currently there try to light up the room. And of course basements could always use more light!
