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 dying over the Mum Pendant Lamps shade. How gorgeous is it?! I would put it in my closet, which could definitely use some more light. My old vintage light needs a replacement :)

    Our living room has no overhead lights and we don’t have any lamps because the little kids were too interested in them :) So we turn on the dining room light in the next room and call it ambiance.

    oh my i need this more than anything! my cute little house is about 560 square feet. that counts as one room right? it also faces north, so it could be tons better in the light department. as for one of these pendant lights, this would go in my living room. because you know what i have there now? ugly track lighting of which, i’m too cheap to buy the replacement bulbs for. so regular bulbs hang down all ghetto like. it’s awesome. help me help myself!!!

    I’M BOARD and I can’t get up because I’m nursing our newest little family member, Soren Paul. Sitting in the rocker/on the couch/at the kitchen table, etc., multiple times a day for marathon nursing sessions gives one lots of time to ponder the undone or unsightly elements of one’s home. Having a third child has left us with even less time to address the aforementioned elements, and so a beautifully crafted, brand-spanking new light fixture from Room and Board would be fabulous. I think I would put in my outdated kitchen, for a little lift into the current decade.
    Thanks,
    Rachel
