Fab Freebie: Shine Bright Like A Diamond

How does $500 towards new lighting for anyone in the world sound? We’ve added four new additions to our lighting collection at Shades of Light, so we figured a giveaway was a fun way to introduce them to you guys. Nearly a year and a half ago when we launched our first collection with them (more on that here), we knew we wanted a cool flush mount light (you know, to fight the good fight against boob lights everywhere), which was solved with the Diamond Ceiling Light. And our yearning for a geometric table lamp was remedied with the Metal Strap Lamp Base. We also added another larger scale hanging option to the mix (these geometric Diamond Lanterns) along with some urchin-like Spiky Pendants. And everything in the collection is still priced at $99 or less.

Shades Of Light Giveaway

This giveaway is actually for $500 towards anything at Shades of Light, so you don’t have to spend it on lights – you can also choose from their rugs, furniture, mirrors, and beyond!

Please use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter (it might take a second to load, but it should eventually pop up below this paragraph). This giveaway is available to anyone in the world!

    I ordered both the Diamond Ceiling Light and Diamond Lantern for my kitchen (in May) and they’re really behind on orders right now :( I was happy to wait since you guys made them so affordable, but they’re also very popular! I was told the ceiling light wouldn’t be available until June 24, and the lantern not until July 15

      So sorry Melissa! I know they’re scrambling to get as much as they can as quickly as they can! Hope they surprise you and get them in earlier :)

    YAAAAAAY shades of light!
    I was drooling over one of your lights from the last collection, but the shipping to Europe was so steep (as in, literally, a thousand dollar) that I didn’t go for it.
    Probably the give-away does not include shipping? She asked hopefully?
    Lots of greetings from a Belgian fan

      Thanks Silke! They use Fed-Ex shipping and just go by their international rates, so the $500 would go towards your checkout total (shipping charges would be included in that number). Those probably depend on the weight/type of items you choose. Hope it helps!

      I know what you mean. I asked about shipping to Australia and was quoted $400 per box! I guess the prize would cover one YHL light with shipping!

    I LOLed when I saw this post! Back up a year and a half ago, I knew I wanted to purchase something from your collection (because I love y’all, wanna support y’all and love your taste) but my indecisive self couldn’t decide what to purchase and for what room. Fast forward to earlier this month and I got on the website (and noticed the new additions!) and decided to purchase the smaller sized orb light to go over my kitchen/dining table. And I just got it in YESTERDAY! Then you post this the very next day! I haven’t had a chance to put it up yet but I can’t wait to do it! And I actually contemplated replacing the 2 boob lights with the diamond ceiling light. Too funny!

    I heard of Shades of Light form your blog and now that we are homeowners (well, we have been owners for three whole days), I ordered a beautiful pendant light from Shades of Lights for our foyer. It is just so beautiful and chic—thanks for the introduction!

    You guys have played such an inspiration in my color and stylings—everyone says our house already looks like a catalog. Sure enough, I’ve got a copy of your book in my new closet-turned-nook that I consult often. YHL ROCKS!

    Perfect timing…I was JUST thinking that the light over my kitchen table was looking dated. Pick me! :)

    I’ve been intrigued by the fixtures that involve exposed bulbs that you use a lot in your house and the showcase house. I’m curious what they’re like at night – could you describe or possibly include a photo some time? (Might be hard to photograph?) Thanks!

    Reply

    • YoungHouseLove says

      How much bulb you show is sort of like how much leg you show – it’s all personal preference! We’ve had them in all of our homes and never seem to mind their bare-ness. A lot has to do with the bulbs you choose (we like soft warm white light on a dimmer so it’s never piercing or blinding). Frosted bulbs are even softer than clear ones too, so that can be an easy change if your bare bulb is too brazen for your tastes. I’ll have to try to take a photo of some of our bare bulbed fixtures at night for you!

    Yippeeeee do you know I actually contacted them two weeks ago to see who much it would be to ship both the blue and pink shades to Northern Ireland and then I contemplated buying to hat boxes and bringing them home with me when we are over for a holiday in july…so this would be PERFECT :-) X

    This would be excellent timing for me…just hung all of our light fixtures, so that part of the remodel is done, but I need rugs in a super serious way. Just had the hard woods refinished and they need covered. :)

    I have the Coral Scallop Print drum shade on my pinterest board for my baby girl’s nursery. She’s due in 9 weeks and I haven’t done a THING besides pinning. I guess thats how it is with the second baby!

    So excited for this Fab Freebie. After seeing your light collection as well as the lighting in Shades of Light I couldn’t be more excited. Crossing my fingers…..

    Perfect timing! I’m trying to replace 5 boob lights in my house. What is with builders thinking boob lights are perfectly acceptable in homes?! Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are people love them, but they seriously need to get out of my house asap!

    Are you guys using any in your new digs (I guess a year in a house doesn’t make it new, does it?)? I can’t wait to see if you do!

    • YoungHouseLove says

      We’re still simmering on where we might use them in our house (all the bedrooms and half the rooms downstairs still need new lights), but we had a lot of fun working five of them into the showhouse!

    Such beautiful designs to add to your collection! Can I make a request? :) I need some light fixtures that have more than one bulb to light larger areas. Can you please design a fixture with two or three bulbs next time? I’m needy… I know…

    Reply

    • YoungHouseLove says

      Sure! All of our hanging drum shade lights have two bulbs in them, so there are six options for you in there already. Would love to work in more though!

      Sometimes a certain finish gets nixed because it’s too pricey for our goals (less than $99 – or bust!) but we’ll definitely look into that for you! We figure if the current finish is $79, but the nickel one comes out at $110, most people would balk at the difference, but if we can bridge the gap and make it work we’d love to add more finishes over time!

    These are gorgeous. I love the diamond light. I will remember these when I finally get around to replacing all of our boob lights!

    I think I could spend that $500 pretty quickly. I’m drooling over the Diamond Ceiling Light and Lanterns – exactly what I have in mind for my new build! And not even the hubs could argue with prices like those, should I not get lucky in the draw. Thanks!

    I had a dream about your hallway ceiling fixtures the other night, so I think that I have a good chance of winning this giveaway! It’s meant to be, yes? :)

    I have been looking for years for lights and these would be perfect. I live in Canada love all of your products but some times ring it difficult

    Thanks for the chance to rid some of the 10 boob lights in my new house, including two in the same room, really living up to their name!

    Perfect timing! I’ve been on the fence about replacing my hall light, and this would make the decision much easier!

    I’d love to see you guys design some sconces! I’m in dire need and can’t seem to find any that are suitable! I know you guys would nail it. ;)

    • YoungHouseLove says

      We worked on some that we ended up nixing (one was too pricey and one was weird looking – haha!) but we’d love to get back on the sconce horse, so to speak!

    Very pretty! I love the new additions!

    Question for you: I have been contemplating the drum shades for a while now to replace some boob lights… my problem is that I would love a diffuser for the bottom. Do you have any safe and affordable recommendations?

    Reply

    • YoungHouseLove says

      I would call Shades of Light (they have a toll free # on their site) because I think they sell something that screws right into the bottom of the drum shade thanks to an extender rod that they provide. Hope it helps!

    This would be amazing! We moved into our house 3 years ago and are still living with our college table lamps. We are desperate for new lighting but I am so indecisive!

    I’ve been trying to save for several of your lights! We have the drab boob lights and these hideous white and gold ceiling fans throughout our new house. They need serious updating!

    You guys used to give a discount code for shades of light when you thanked your sponsors…do you know if any of them still work?

    Reply

    • YoungHouseLove says

      Theirs would usually run on and off (they’d offer one for a few months, turn it off for a few months, and then offer a different one a few months later) so I don’t think any of the old ones still work, but maybe try googling to see if there’s a new one circulating?

    I’ve been stalking their website for months, finally found the perfect light for my stairway but I find every excuse under the sun not to buy it… I don’t know how much longer I can stand the boob light I currently have! LOL
