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.

    Our living room is attached to our sunporch, which limits the amount of natural sunlight that flows in. SInce the LR is where we spend most of our time relaxing and entertaining, any additional lighting to our favorite room would be a blessing!! :)

    We need to freshen up our basement office / storage area. We will be working on this project this fall and a new pendant would be awesome to add a little pop to the space – I’m thinking over the work area.

    I’m board! I would light up our closet. We moved from an old house that had virtually no closet space to one that has a huge walk-in closet (truth be told, that’s what sealed the deal for me on this place), but there’s one dinky light fixture in there. We need more light!

    I’m board! My bedroom needs more light – I can’t see my clothes in the morning! there’s no lighting by my drawers outside the closet, and because of some faulty wiring my closet light isn’t working. I dragged my bedside lamp into the closet for now, so there’s no bedside reading now either. No wonder I’m dressed like a clown!

    I’M BOARD! I need more light in my dining room. We are using the fixture that came with the house. Not only is it dim, it’s hideous! We like simple, clean lines and this chandelier is ornate with a splattered finish on the glass. My friend’s daughter came over and was fascinated by it – “why is there dirt all over your lamp!?”

    I would put it in my dining room because if you saw what I have in there now you would beg me to enter this contest. We bought this house almost a year ago and can’t afford to get everything changed all at once. The light fixture we have now sure is a blast from the past! the 70’s to be exact! Ick!
