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 on the wagon of adding interesting lighting fixtures in smaller spaces, like the bathroom, closet and hallway — though I’m also looking for a new dining room fixture..

    Right now I’d have to be boring and just choose my dorm room, since that is my only room right now, but at home I would choose the kitchen. The kitchen should be a light and happy place :)

    My living room has large windows, but it’s so dark, since it’s shaded by mature trees. Great for summer, but in the winter, it gets a little gloomy. Awesome giveaway – fingers crossed for the win!

    we have a bathroom that’s in desperate need of more light. Our house was built in 1960, and we’ve changed out all the fixtures in the house except for those in the bathrooms and kitchen. They will be the next to go….
    thanks for your awesome giveaways!

    I’M BOARD!! Our living room is in desperate need of lighting!! When we moved into our home last month, the previous owners had left us a beautiful ceiling fan….with no working light! Apparently they turned the light off with the remote…and then kept the remote when they left. :( We’re using floor lamps now as a temporary fix. This would be amazing!
