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.

    And, I would definitely choose to brighten up my kitchen. It’s got no windows and I’d love to make it more cheery!

    For some reason my living room is really dark. Something about the directions of the windows and doors. I would love to magically have it be a more bright and open space.

    My dining room is in serious need of a new fixture and one of these would be perfect! I would finally be able to say goodbye to the gold 1970s pendant.

    I would choose our dining area. we have game night there and need brighter lighting for taht night. I’d love to have more lighting controls in that room. Moody for romantic dinners but still able to turn it up for a rousing Clue battle.

    My home office is sooo dreary–it faces north and the only window in it is under the porch so very little natural light gets in.

    I would shed some light on our creepy stone basement. However, I suppose doing so would make me even more responsible for getting rid of the spiders that we conveniently can’t see very well…

    I would pick my bathroom because it’s a pretty large space and there’s only one light over the mirror, so it’s pretty dark.
