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!

    I really wish my bedroom had more light. When I bought my house I did not realize that there was no lighting- I have to add it all in the form of lamps/floor lamps. Needless to say- its a dark place.

    I’m BOARD

    I have a strange space that will be used as a nursery and currently has a 90s style cover over a lightbulb and ‘dorm style’ track lighting. I haven’t started the makeover yet (only 3 months right now), but I would love a new light fixture for the space!!

    I’M BOARD! The darkest room in the house is our half bath because there are no windows. We have a little sunroom but it is pretty dark too because it faces away from the sun.

    definitely need more light in our living room. It’s where we spend 90% of our time, yet always too dim in the evenings/nights.

    I’m board… My living room is large with great windows, but no overhead lighting to speak of so at night it gets pretty dark in there. There are only so many lamps you can have in a room before it starts getting ridiculous, right?

    Definitely the living room. We host both parties and lots of meetings in the room. Right now we have a white plastic Ikea lamp hanging in there, but how awesome would it be to have something so much prettier!
