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 I need more light in my living room. There’s no overhead light…however I have a bedroom that’s screaming for an updated light fixture.

    I’M BOARD! I would have to say I would pick my parents bedroom to be magically brighter. It’s probably the darkest of the house, and it could use a little face lift. Don’t worry– my mom totally agrees!

    I’d love to have my guest bedroom illuminated with a new Galbraith & Paul pendant light. Yahoo! Love the contemporary design… what good timing for this give-away, I’m taking a lighting class currently in interior design school.

    I’d love new lighting in my master bathroom. We rent but I’m all for changing up light fixtures – we did this in our dining room and figure when we move we’ll just swap the old one back and take ours with us. The bathroom has been low priority, but lately I’ve found myself daydreaming about how nice it would be to primp in a brighter space.

    I have to say our house is super lit up everywhere but with ugly 1970’s fixtures and super duper ugly make me want to vomit ceiling fans so the one the in the dining room would definitely have to get replaced with one of these beautes.
