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!

    The room in our house that could seriously use more light is… all of them! Our sweet 60’s style place doesn’t have a single built-in light fixture except for the kitchen, hallway, and bath. Coming from a home with a fan/light in every room (which we love, because we’re in the sweaty South) we’ve had to purchase new lighting for everywhere. I would love to hang one of these above our bed to give us much needed illumination and style.

    I’M BOARD! I would love to choose a lamp for our dining room! It used to be the formal living room, and has a small (tiny!) oval globe from the 80s. I would choose something modern and chic, and design the style of the room around it ^_^

    Our bedroom definitely needs a little more light. It only has one tiny window, and we made the mistake of painting it a relatively dark shade of green. While it sure is cozy, it’s a little too dark for me now!

    I’M BOARD! I would brighten up our dinning room…in the proper way. The overhead lighting is too harsh and even though I brought in some lamps, they’re not bright enough when we’re dinning with friends. It’s either too bright or too dim. Disaster!

    and definitely my bathroom. I want to put a chandelier inside of the pendant for a little bit of extra glam in there. But I’d save that for a smaller DIY. These beauties would look stellar in our dining room.
