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.

    My entry is so dark and depressing. It’s not a bad size, but my front door does not have any windows and the light fixture is subpar so the only light comes in from the adjoining rooms.

    Our living room needs some *serious* lighting help – the only source at present is from the fan light, which gives off a terrible orange pallor from the shade.

    Ugh!

    Our bathroom is so dark, we had to put a floor lamp between the toilet and the sink – it’s looks about as awful as it sounds.

    While we really are very lucky to have lots of light in our apartment, we have some old fake wood paneling in our home office that sucks all the light out of the room. We can’t paint it, and we don’t want to hide it so we are trying to have fun living with it.

    I’M BOARD! I would love for my kitchen to have loads more light. I have a door to the outside and a small window in there, but because I live in an apartment building I have to keep the blinds shut for privacy. That means no light unless I flip on the fluorescent.

    I would LOVE to have more natural light in our basement. I have added lots of lamps, but nothing makes up for lack of sunshine. Maybe someday we will be able to afford an extra window down there.
