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 am desperately on the hunt for some overhead lighting for our nursery (little boy due in January!) We have a small lamp next to the rocker, but thought some overhead lighting (hooked up to a dimmer switch) would work wonders in there to brighten up the space! :)

    I would light up my kitchen! We currently have nipple lights in there (not sure of the official name) that give off such an attractive yellow glow that makes it hard to see when we cook.

    I’m BOARD! Hmm, I think our family room – it’s where we typically spend the most time. It has beautiful windows, and is nice and bright when the sun is out. But on dark, dreary days and at night – – not so much (and the table lamps don’t do a whole lot of good)!

    I’m board! I wish we could add some more light to our living room. It’s on the inside of the house and it has no windows at all (although rooms that open to it have windows). It would be nice for it to be brighter. Love Room and Board and one of those pendants would go very nicely…
