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! And I’m so “on board” with your amazing site. I have learned so much from you both. I check in with you every day and love the inspiration you provide. Simple, clean lines and less cluttered. I am so motivated to make changes!! I would love to get some wonderful fixtures for our bedroom which is going under the makeover knife in January. Thanks for a great site!!!

    “I’M BOARD” I would love more light in our long hallway. There is a light in the middle, but we have beautiful built in china cabinet at the end that doesn’t get it the attention that it deserves due to low light.

    One of those drum shaded lights would be nice to perk up my dark dining room. It’s a little too dim and romantic for when we have just friends over. When it’s just me and the hubs, now that’s a different story! ;)

    Our house has very few overhead lights wired in. Instead, there are many wall outlets which are wired to light switches throughout. In theory, this is a nice idea because it allows for a variety of light sources, etc. But it is more than a little duanting for first time home buyers (i.e. young and broke) to suddenly realize they need to get 20 different lamps and fixtures! In short, we really need a lighting makeover!
