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!

    I’d add more light to our living area. Somehow the lamps/light bulbs we have just don’t cut it.

    I’M BOARD!! I would love a little more lighting in each room of my house, but I would probably put the pendant in my office since it’s the only one we haven’t replaced.

    I’M BOARD and I’ve been coveting these lamps for YEARS! Today is our 14-year anniversary and I just know my hubby would LOVE a new lamp as a present (OK, maybe not, but his wife would). I’d love to brighten up our playroom or dining room. Thanks!

    “I’M BOARD”

    I’d love for my home office to be filled with beautiful light all day long – It’s great in the evening, when the sun is low in the sky and I’d love it if I could capture that light all day long.

    I’m bored! I would choose the kitchen, its entirely too dark, and since we rent we will have to settle for the half-fixes were were able to do (row of clip lights over the cabinets, a few under cabinet lights).

    I’M BOARD! This is awesome. I love Room and Board but have to live on a target budget. It’s funny that you just asked that question. My laundry room light blew out when I turned it on yesterday morning. When we went to replace the bulb (with a CFL) it turns out there was only one bulb in the fixture but two spots. So we put two bulbs in. Now it looks as though you could perform surgery! I would like to light my living room better now though. It only has one lamp and an overhead fan light that is way too glaring.
