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.

    We live in an old house in Northside Richmond, so definitely our basement needs lighting help. However, a new light like this won’t find its new home in the basement!

    I’M BOARD! Our main bathroom is seriously lacking in the lighting department. The problem is that our current fixtures barely extend over our mirror cabinet. And the bigger problem is that we’re trying to sell our house and don’t want to invest more money into new light fixtures!

    Our basement, which is also our family room and where we spend the most time, is in desperate need of light. As much as I love spending time down there, it is quite depressing and boring!

    I’M BOARD! We’re actually looking at new dining tables for our basement family room, to make it more of a fun space to entertain, and one of those light fixtures would totally make the space! (Not to mention, my neighbor has one, and I’ve been a little bit jealous of hers for a long time, is that bad?!?!?)

    I’m board! We have a game table in one part of our family room that doesn’t have a light directly above it — so a nice light over it would make it easier to see cards and such!

    I would definitely want to lighten up our main bathroom. Because we rent, we can’t really do much to the existing situation (built-in lighting to the vanity).

    And I LOVE the Mum pendant lamp! http://bit.ly/cZXrSP
