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!

    We’re just finishing up our bathroom and I still love the tile I picked out for that room, but the next tiling project in our house is definitely going to be our kitchen backsplash. I can’t help it, I’m a traditionalist … I love white subway tile backspashes with a little something unexpected thrown in: a glass accent, herringbone pattern or funky trim pieces.

    TILE ME…….please!!!!

    I love glass tile backsplash in a kitchen, which we already have, but we need floor tile in our Laundry Room makeover that we hopefully be working on in a few weeks. Something neutral in color, something warm looking to make the room feel nice when you walk into it. It’s also a walk-thru to our backyard, so we need something durable and appealing to the eye. ;)

    TILE ME! We’ve been wanting to put a tumbled marble backsplash in our kitchen… we’d love to be more adventurous and add some color but our granite (Uba Tuba) is a dark dark green and I don’t know what matches it! We’ll go the easy way out and slightly match the tile on our floor.

    I am seriously geeking out for some multi-tone gray penny tile for my bathroom floor and for a subway tile back splash in my kitchen. I am pretty boring when it comes to tile. Quality matte ceramics or marble.

    My maternal grandfather built the home I grew up in, and my parents still live there. The bathrooms have NEVER been updated, and currently the first floor bath has mauve pink and white tile in the shower in the shape of a huge starburst. MUST. BE. REMOVED.
