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).

    Our family room for sure. The room is fairly large with cathedral ceilings and it desperately needs more lighting to make it brighter.

    I’d love to replace the buzzing fluorescent light in my kitchen with one of those beautiful pendants. Oh pick me, pick me!

    I’m Board! And I’m seriously, utterly in love with R&B (always have been). So you can bet your bippy I’d enter this one! :)

    I would totally use this in my kitchen. I have an old, came-with-the-house original brass chandelier over our kitchen table and we recently painted it. So a fabulous new pendant would be just the thing to make it look spiffy!! Thanks!

    I am bored!

    Our master bedroom could really use a makeover! When we moved into our current house, EVERY room was covered with wallpaper. Our master bedroom is the last remaining wallpapered room that is left. We have been living with THREE different patterns of wallpaper in one room. They even wallpapered the ceiling and they didn’t match the seams. And the best part is. . . wait for it. . . wait for it. . . .there is a wallpaper border with pigs on it!

    We have an IKEA shade over our dining table, but it is pretty plain. I would love to change it up for something more snazzy.

    I would love my entry to be magically illuminated…unfortunately it would take more than just an awesome new light fixture! But definitely a step in the right direction!

    I wish I had more light in my bedroom. I only get am light and then it’s super dark and dreary all day long. =(

    I’ve been wanting to replace the alien-looking light fixture in our dining room and a pendant light with a drum shade is just the thing to make the room more stylish and bright.

    We’re moving to a new house soon, our first! I’d love to use the pendant lamp in the dining area.

    I would light up our second bath. The window is too tiny for the size of the room and the light in there now is inadequate. It needs a redo!!

    My bedroom could use some more light– unfortunately, it’s not wired for a pendant light. But an R&B pendant would look lovely in my sister’s new dining room! I hope I win this for her!!

    My living room is so dark, the window is practically on the sidewalk, and I felt pressured into buying blackout curtains after a passing pedestrian watched television with me through the window. It was pretty creepy. I would love to bring some stylish non-natural light to the place.

    We are currently renovating our main level bedrooms, one for a nursery and one for guests. Either room could use a splash of color and light.

    I would love for my basement to be illuminated. It is such a large space and so under-utilized in it’s dark dreary (but dry!) state.

    My dining room needs some major light inspiration. These hanging lights would be just what the doctor ordered!

    I would love for my living room to have perfect mood lighting… smoething for movies, reading books, drinking wine with the girls…

    I’d love to update all the light fixtures in the house. One of these modern shades would look awesome in my bedroom.

    “I’m BOARD!” I would choose my bedroom or kitchen… both have outdated light fixtures that do NOT put off enough light! I need help in those areas!

    I’M BOARD….

    If I could pick any room to illuminate, it would my our living room. We live in a town house and have a long skinny living room that gets no light from the sides. We’ve repainted a lighter color, added a ceiling fan with light, and lots of white curtains, but it is still fairly cavelike at night.

    I would love a new light for our dining area! The existing one is…shall we say…outdated. Thanks for the opportunity!

    I’M BOARD! I just got a new apartment, and the living room is huge and wonderful, but there’s not much natural light, so I’d love to brighten that space up!

    I would figure out a way to illuminate our upstairs hallway… there are not true windows to speak of (the only one is on a landing halfway down the stairs) and a poorly placed Air conditioning vent/attic door prevents us from placing ample lighting in the middle of the hallway… ahh! The quirks of an 80-year-old house!

    I’m board! There’s no light in the closet under/behind my stairs, so it’s not unusual to catch me in there wearing my high-fashion head lamp! ;-)
