Fab Freebie: Tiles For Miles

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see our winners!***

Today’s moving day (wahoooooo!) so we thought we’d slap up this week’s giveaway this morning to tide you over until we have a moment to post some house-related updates. Oh yeah, and it just happens to be the biggest giveaway we’ve ever done. By a long shot.

So I’ll get to the point. It was almost exactly one year ago that I first used a wet saw. It was love at first site, er, cut. And today we’re sharing the love, thanks to some help from The Tile Shop. And boy is it a lot of love to share. $3000 worth of love to be exact.

Tile Shop Beauty Shots

You guys probably already know The Tile Shop as an awesome spot for tile, tiling supplies, and even free DIY support (both online and in stores). In fact, a lot of stuff for our bathroom remodel last year was purchased there (or borrowed from my dad, who had purchased it there). So if any of you need the kick in the pants to get your next tiling job started (kitchen backsplash? bathroom update?) here it is: TWO of you are going to win a $950 gift card to The Tile Shop and a deluxe wet saw valued at $550. Who’s suddenly got tile fever?

Tile Shop Gift Card

Here are all the deets when it comes to getting your chance at our biggest prize to date:

  • PRIZE: This wet saw and a $950 gift card from The Tile Shop (valued at 3K, baby).
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TILE ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … let’s gush about tile. What sorts of tile are you loving? Warm natural stone surrounding an open shower? Glam metallic subway tile on a kitchen backsplash? Or maybe a modern mosaic on a fireplace surround?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 15th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The lower 48 United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners 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…

******************************

Before we get to the winners names, everyone should know that you automatically get $20 off any order over $200 through the holiday. Not too shabby, eh?

Our two extremely lucky winners (as selected by random.org) are… Nadia (who just starting a huge kitchen remodel) and Heidi Kruger (who’s looking to do subway tile in her kitchen and to re-tile two bathrooms) Congrats!

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 The Tile Shop.

    Tile Me! I love subway tile- all colors but my favorites are those that are colored but look like they have a clear glass coating on the top of them to add dimension. Just saw some at IKEA this weekend and was drooling all over them! I would love to have this saw so my hubby and I could tile our kitchen backsplash and bathroom floors!

    I’d have to say the light greens and blues that kind of pop. Not the bland stone washes that would go on a bathroom floor or something, but definitely the shiney type that looks like its under glass or under the sea :)

    We just added a bar and wine cellar to our basement. We used a natural stone tile that had a random color scheme. I am absolutely in love with it…it is so rustic! We are hoping to add a backsplash to the bar in the future so this would be great!

    TILE ME!!! Our house is very mid-century, and before we bought it the previous owners put in a country-style tile as the backsplash in the kitchen. We would love to do a great charcoal or orange glass tile to modernize things. We also have a fireplace surround that we would love to re-do with a really rough-hewn stone (either natural or a charcoal), instead of the current brick that is painted white.

    We’ve built one bathroom and are in the midst of remodeling another one…guess how much tile input I have had? Zero! It’s depressing! We have one half bath left to go and I would love to do something that did not involve leftover tiles (and design advice, eek!) from almost father-in-law. Maybe now I could finally get my subway tiles instead of a bathroom fit for the Zack Attack! Saved by the Bell tour.
