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 would definitely have to say sons’ bedroom. They really need a lighting situation in there that accommodates all of the play they do there.

    I’m re-doing our office/lounge to look like somewhere I’m actually going to WANT work in and spend time relaxing/meditating. I think these beautiful lights would be the perfect accent. Hehehe.

    I’d have to choose the basement. It has a few small windows but seems that regardless of the time of day, there is little to zero light down there.

    I would choose to lighten up my kitchen nook, which is currently lit by lights reminiscent of those found in a bus stop. A pendant light like this would add not only light but also a dose of modernity to my otherwise dated apartment kitchen.

    I’d have to go with our living room. We have a huge window, which is great on days when it is sunny, but when it’s dreary outside, we’re in trouble. There are very few outlets, and due to our unusual apartment architecture, our couch sits in the middle of the room with no convenient way to run a end table lamp.

    I’d light up our cozy little closet. It’s got a cupboard piled high with quilts, and this pendant light would only make the closet perfect!
