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!!

    The long, sad hallway in my apartment would become a long, happy hallway with the addition of a pretty lamp. Besides, it would be nice to finally manage to put the right shoes on ones feet due to better illumination! This one red shoe, one blue shoe debacle is killing me.

    Our bedroom! It’s the most neglected room in our house & could use a dose of gentle light.

    I live in an English basement in the city and would LOVE to illuminate the place a bit. It’s got one big window, but sometimes I could just use some more funky lighting.

    The light in our dining room is hideous – just basic builder brass – and does a lousy job of lighting up the space to boot. I’ve been looking for a new one, but haven’t been able to find anything I love… until these!

    our apartment looks out onto an airshaft with virtually no natural light (gotta love NYC living). I would be thrilled to hang a Galbraith & Paul pendant from R&B in our home office, which we are currently in the process of redecorating (i.e. trying to transform it from the room of junk into a functional working/reading space).

    definitely our dining room! in desperate need of more light! its in the darkest corner of our condo and only has light from one window in the corner–which faces east– so the room is bright and sunny early in the morning (not when I am in the dining room!) and dim in the afternoon/evening.
