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.

    We just closed on our on 11/29 and both bathrooms need to be remodeled… (think pink tiles, tub, and toilet!). I would love stone tiles.

    Good luck at closing today and can’t wait to see pics!!

    I would LOVE to retile the backsplash in my kitchen with a classic subway tile. Right now it’s some type of linoleum the previous owners put up, but I’m sure ready for a change! And I could go on and on about the kitchen floor needing a major update… no doubt I would certainly use that wet saw!

    TILE ME! We just moved into a new house and the kitchen backsplash is mirror! It’s terrible. So hard to keep clean. I’d love a new glass tile backsplash!

    TILE ME!

    We bought our first house this summer. I quickly realized the upstairs bathroom tile needed to be re-grouted, which was my first project in the house.

    That grout is already mad because the previous owners did a very half-hearted job redoing the bathroom, so I’d be redoing the bathroom with hexagon floor tile and a subway tile bath surround.

    We are in the process of looking for contractors to renovate both of our bathrooms – still trying to figure out what tile to use…I’m leaning towards white subway tile for the tub, but haven’t decided on the floor yet. this prize would be great!

    TILE ME I really like the green glass tiles that are rectangular shaped. I have never seen them in a kitchen and not look good.

    Love your blog – excited for your move!
