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’d illuminate my living room because although it has a nice big window, there is no overhead lighting whatsoever.

    I would absolutely, definitely, without a doubt use a hanging light to illuminate the kitchen table. It’s so sad to eat in the [almost] dark!

    We moved into our house a year ago and the light in the second bathroom was so ugly that we took it down but never actually replaced it. So I would love to have something wonderful for the bathroom.

    Proper bathroom lighting is crucial – especially if this serves as your library, as seems the case in our home. Unfortunately our main bath has no window. Where are those kliegs when you really need them?

    I’M BOARD! I would definitely pick our kitchen. There are two sconces and two ceiling lights in our not-so-large kitchen, and they’re so poorly placed that it’s still not bright enough! The main issue is that the primary light is in the center, which is behind us when we’re standing at the stove so we end up causing a shadow on what we’re cooking. Well, I should say that WAS the main issue, but it no longer works. I know – we need an electrician… :)

    I would pick our back porch – it’s small and unfinished now, but some nighttime light just might be the inspiration we need to fix it up.
