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.

    These lights are stunning! One would look great in our dining room or maybe in the little boy nursery we’re in the process of creating! I feel fortunate that our house gets tons of natural light, but I would love for the master bedroom to have a little more of it in the morning when I am getting ready for the day!

    I’M BOARD! I would love to use a light such as this to liven up the dully-lit space that is my Master Bedroom. We have a very cool loft-like townhouse in San Diego, featuring floor to ceiling windows the length of one wall in our master bedroom. However, although some of the plentiful California sun streams through by day, we’ve got no overhead lighting for nighttime. My husband and I are both avid readers, and so have to get by straining our eyes with 1 tiny 25-Watt bedside lamp! I just redid our bedroom in a Moroccan style & one of these lamp shades would be just perfect as a complement! Thanks!

    Our combined dining room/living room definitely needs more light…it’s a sizeable 33″ long and the only natural light source is a sliding glass door on one end that leads to our covered, very shady deck. We have floor lamps everywhere, but we seriously need an overhead light source!
