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 could definitely use more light and life. The ugly 1980s ceiling fan with the light refracting cut crystal covers that came with our apartment just isn’t doing it for us.

    As for the room needing new light-1,000,000% our living room. It has no windows due to being surrounded on all 4 sides by other rooms and is like a cave. It has a ceiling fan with the wee-est light possible on it. HATE THAT CONTRAPTION. Room & Board lights would be muuuuch nicer!

    I’M BOARD of the upside down light fixture currently decorating my ceiling! When I replaced the burned out incandescent bulbs with CFLs the glass cover would only go on upside down – not exactly the design statement I want to make. Thanks for always brightening my day with your blog!

    I’m bored… that’s a lie YHL inspired me to gut my bathroom can I say I’m overwhelmed instead. I need better lighting above my peninsula that seperates my kitchen and dining rooms. It is so dark I just refer to it as “the black whole”

    Our half bath is really small and doesn’t have enough light, even though there is a window. However, the Bamboo pendant (large size!) would look awesome in our master bedroom.

    Our living room needs more light. We don’t have lamps right now and we only have a ceiling fan that’s ugly. So it would be nice to have something new to brighten it up.
