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! Our living room could use lighting. For sure. hah. (Old home without any overhead lights – so aside from two lamps, that’s all that’s in there & it gets pretty dim during the Winter months when there’s less daylight.) And if it weren’t the living room – then our master bedroom needs more lighting too.

    This is perfect timing. We are expecting our first and just found this weekend that we need to get a different light for our nursery. These pendants are exactly the style we’re interested in.

    I’M BOARD!! My boyfriend and I currently rent an apartment and our living room lacks ceiling light and our dining room is very dark with only a dated track light illuminating the space. When we first moved in, my boyfriend patiently installed a series of wall and hanging pendant lights from IKEA but the dining room is still VERY DARK. We would LOVE one of these pendant lights for our dining room and to use in our future house that we are currently saving for!

    I so need this one! We bought our house in April and the kitchen needs major lighting help. The current lighting over the kitchen table is an 80’s brass and glass paneled number that looks like a cross between a viking ship and a dragon.

    And what room couldn’t use more light? I would have to say our den/office, it’s an odd little room in our house with little to no lighting. I would definitely love to lighten it up!
