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 would love more light in my nursery in progress. It’s the only room in the house without overhead lighting.

    I would love to add more light to the nursery. With only one small window and without wiring for an overhead, we have to rely on pendant lighting and lamps. These bright and beautiful patterns would do a world of good to spice up the nursery and create much needed lighting.

    I would definitely want more light in my closet – there’s one tiny little lightbulb in the middle, but due to storage issues my little armoire thing is in a weird nook in the back that doesn’t get any light. I think it would take magic to get that area lit up.

    If there was ever a need for me to win a freebie, this would be it! We’ve been in dire need of bringing more light into our dark dining room and replacing the ancient light fixture that’s in there now. The only thing stopping us has been the cost. What a great opportunity!!!

    I’d love more light in the kitchen. of course if my husband hangs the light that is already wired in that would be solved….

    I would love to lighten our formal living room. I wanted it to be cozy so I painted it a dark sand on half the walls and a deep brick on the other half. It’s okay but makes the place look really dark. Some great lighting would certainly help brighten it up.

    If I could light up anything it would be my under the staircase half bathroom. It’s a depressingly windowless, bite sized little room that needs all the help it can get.
