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” and if any room in my house that I wish was more illuminated it would be my entire upstairs! It is so dark up there and each room has awful lighting options. That is definitely on the end of the year to do list for my husband (thank goodness he’s handy at that kind of stuff!).

    I’M BOARD! Oddly enough, my living room is the one that needs better light. I live in an apartment that faces a courtyard and doesn’t get much light, plus my husband likes to keep the blinds shut and calls it his “man cave.” lol

    I’d like to brighten up our bedroom! We live in the woods and that room has a north-facing window which doesn’t get much natural light. A new pendant would bring some much-needed light & color to our bedroom! :)

    I’M BOARD! I’d like more light in the mudroom…although another fixture isn’t what I had in mind — I wanted to add a sun tunnel (aka solar tube) like I have in the kitchen, but the contractor said the span to the back side of the roof was too long, and I don’t want it showing on the front of the house. Anyway, one of these lights sure could take my mind off my mudroom sorrows….
