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! Sadly my kitchen! Our kitchen has an L shaped countertop and we need a pendant light over the longest part of the L. As a food blogger, it gets pretty tiring taking all my food outside to get some light!

    I’m Board! Our living room–which used to be the dining area, so there is a dining-esque candelabra hanging over the center of everything. Not the vibe I’m going for. One of these sweet pendant lamps would start the room on a much needed transformation. Pick me, pick me!

    I’d love to light up our bathroom that is off of our master bedroom. Our house was built in 1921 and the bathroom was remodeled years ago by the previous owners and has an old and outdated ceiling light. A Galbraith & Paul pendant would be PERFECT!

    Sadly our main living room could really use a lot more light–there are plenty of windows so it is fine during the day, but at night it is pretty dark.

    I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE lighting to brighten up our dark living room. We have an awesome covered patio in back, but unfortunately, the patio’s roof comes right out over the living room windows and robs us of light in there.

    I’m bored…….definitely my kitchen. Right now we have an ugly fluorescent light on the ceiling which is way to bright so a lot of times I just end up cleaning/doing dishes with only the light above the stove on. I would put more lighting above my sink and on the ceiling in the middle of the kitchen. Great lighting is key when you are cleaning, cooking, or entertaining in the kitchen.
