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.

    Not sure of the specifics, but we need to overhaul a dark and dated family room that has a woodstove. Our vision includes tile both on the floor and in the wall area near the stove. Our intention is to give it a LOT more thought after Xmas.

    TILE ME!! We have sold our home and have to be out on January 12th, problem is that we haven’t found a new one yet. House hunting for a family of 7 isn’t easy, we require a large number of bedrooms for 5 growing boys! I am positive that I will need to do several tile jobs in the new place just to put our stamp on it. And I’m moving away from my neighbor whom I borrowed the saw from previously….I’m going to need my own! Thanks!!!!! PS, I’ve been watching very closely for your tips and tricks regarding moving. Thanks for the the pointers.

    I love almost everything about our kitchen except the fact that it doesn’t have a backsplash. It would look so polished if we could do a shimmery gunmetal color to pick up the stainless steel appliances and the sparkle in the dark granite counters.

    We had someone else tile at our old house. This time, we’ve decided to give it a shot ourselves! Unfortunately, I’m attracted to the super expensive glass tile, which is making the decision making process lots less fun. Beer budget and all.

    We bought a cheap-o tile saw from Home Depot quite a few years back for $88 and it’s crapped out on us and we have a new house and at least 3 tile jobs to do!! This would be a miracle!! We have standard white tiles in our kitchen that need to go (we’d like natural stone looking tiles in there), a new backsplash.. because we don’t have one at all right now! And our blue tile in the upstairs bath, along with the pink tiled shower definitely need to be updated. Thanks for offering this amazing give away!!

    Good luck with the move today!!
