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 house has an unfinished 1/2 story (attic) that I’d love to transform into a loft-style bedroom. I imagine ours finished: It has skylights, hardwood floors and is painted Pratt & Lambert’s Gossling (a light grey). You are more than welcome to come decorate it! ; )

    I’M BOARD . . . my living is totally lacking in the natural sunlight department and could definitely use some more light. I’m thinking the helix pendant would look great in there.

    I’M BOARD!

    Our house has a decent amount of natural light, the one space I’d love to illuminate is our staircase. It’s the only place in the house with a super high ceiling and a measly wall sconce. It’s the perfect place for a really dramatic light fixture (or a sky light!).

    We have this crazy room in our home that is at the bottom of our stairs, kind of like a foyer. It is about 6×6 and has FIVE doors which out of it – bathroom, closet, bedroom, kitchen, and stairway. We’ve just put white board board up and have painted all the trim white – we’re dying to get that space brightened up!

    I’M BOARD! Wow, this is such a great giveaway! Beautiful designs and I happen to be in need of a new light fixture in our dining area. The one we have now is far too large/clunky for our tiny and otherwise airy dining area.

    Our family room could use better lighting. It has lots of windows but when the sun goes down it’s pretty dim.
