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.

    My fiance and I live in an apt. in a house from the early 1900’s and our living room has one window… which is blocked by a fire escape. We call it the bat cave… it’s so dark!!

    I’M BOARD! Although I’d love one of these pendant lamps for our bedroom to replace the ugly fixture the rental company provided (hopefully that’s allowed!), I really wish our bathroom got some natural light.

    Just about every room in our house needs a lighting makeover! My studio needs more light because that is where I work. We have no lamps in the living room, and our guest bedroom is dark and dreary!

    I would definitely choose the closet in our master bedroom. It doesn’t have a light in it at all! I’ve managed to rig a partial fix with a clip-on desk lamp and an extension cord (it’s an apartment, so nothing more permanent is possible), but it’s still shameful.

    I’m board because we are in an apartment while we wait to close on our new house and that means no decorating until we move. I always draw inspiration from your blog. In fact, yours was my first blog to read, ever! I was googling to find out how to install a vent hood (the same brand you have) and I came across your kitchen reno. I got hooked on blogs from that point on.
    I digress…I would love to use a Room and Board light in my new house, probably either over the dining room table or in the family room.
