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 would love to get more light into our living room…There are no windows directly in the living room portion of our studio apartment so it gets really dark even during the day. It’s great for tv watching but not so much for hanging out and reading.

    it would actually be our living room.. its very dark in there despite a big window – nothing but indirect light and even that, right now you could nap and think it was evening (its 2pm!), its the only room in the house that doesn’t get enough light. its quite sad really!

    I’m Board!!!! I could definitely use a little more light in my bedroom. I have 11ft. ceilings and the ceiling mounted light fixture does absolutely nothing for the space. Plus we need a really tall latter just to change the bulb. Needless the say the light has been out for the past 6 months (thanks hubby) and I am using a floor lamp for now.

    We just did this! It was our entire 2nd floor (it’s all one big room – living, dining, and kitchen). The walls were green, the built-in bookcase was green, the curtains were green – well you get it :). We painted the room a nice neutral gray and repainted the bookshelves to match the trim color (off-white). It definitely brought so much light to the space!

    I’M BOARD! This is a tough question because our old house is kinda dark, but I have to go with the basement. Our main “family room” is down there and it’s so depressing right now. We have a glass block window and small line of mini track lights, but that’s it!
