Ready for more free stuff? Do I even need to ask?
This week’s giveaway comes from Shades of Light, a local specialty lighting and decor store whose wide selection of products have been featured everywhere from Cottage Living to Coastal Living and even on decor8. And if you live here in Richmond, you’ve probably driven by their location on Broad St. across from Willow Lawn. We actually bumped into them most recently at a local blogging event, where we learned that they’ve started an Inspired Spaces blog which features expert insights on lighting your home, as well as great before & after pictures of their design projects.
Shades of Light offers a wide selection of styles (vintage, classic, contemporary, etc) across a wide variety of items (lamps, chandeliers, pendants, rugs, mirrors and even furniture) which you can browse in their store, online and by catalog. But this week we’re giving away their exclusive natural-meets-elegant bamboo table lamp to one lucky winner, who will get to choose between the silver one and the black one pictured below.
To enter the contest just comment on this post with the words “LIGHT ME UP” by Wednesday, February 25th at 8pm EST. While you’re at it tell us what else makes you light up with excitement (chocolate? weekends? chihuahuas?). This prize is available to residents of the lower 48 United States and, as usual, there’s only one entry per e-mail address allowed. One winner will be selected using random.org and announced later in the week. Good luck…

Alison says
Light Me Up!
My cats playing with each other or otherwise being goofy (one of them is presently staring at a plant I moved from one location to another – staring as if it is an alien being newly arrived on earth – dude, it’s the same darn plant that was in the hallway) – that lights me up.
Aimee says
Light Me UP!! I love hanging out with my family on the weekend.
Kerry says
Light me up! Hmm, things that light me up…my fiance, closet organization systems, chocolate milkshakes and cheddar cheese goldfish crackers. And other stuff too.
I remember the store from my days in Richmond – and it made me laugh to read about Willow Lawn because whenever I’m trying to tell someone about something there I ALWAYS blank on the name of that shopping center. It’s like a mental block or something!

LIGHT ME UP!!!
Sara says
Oops. . .I got excited and hit “submit” before I got the chance to chime in with what lights me up in this world.
It may be cheesy and/or predictable, but my son’s smile gives me more pleasure than is fair. And his laugh and his hugs, which are few and fleeting, but still.
(Now as for his tantrums and general terrible-two-ness, not so much.)
He really is the light of our lives. (Hardy har har. Pun intended!)
Sarah Lyon says
LIGHT ME UP!

LIGHT ME UP! Three things that most recently made me squeal in delight: 1) my fiance scrubbing the kitchen, 2) a litter of puppies, 3) a new magazine in the mail. These were just from yesterday, so I guess I’m easy to please!
