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.

    In our 26 year old home, we are still staring at original tile in our bathroom. We are dying to change it over to dove grey subway tile from the humdrum 70s blue squares that adorn our shower now.

    I’ve been dreaming of new tile ever since I heard a loud crack! I ran downstairs to the kitchen to discover a large crack that ran across the floor. After some investigation we discovered that the crack mirrors a crack in the foundation! Needless to say, one repair later and the crack has re-appeared. I’d love to replace it all!!

    “TILE ME!” I love the glass and the stone earthy look. I decided to try tiling on my own as a new DIYer. So far I have completed 2 half baths, 1 full bath and the entry way to our home. I am getting the hang of it and did it all with a manual tile cutter. Not the easiest! Thanks for the oppotunity.

    We just finished putting up our glass tile kitchen backsplash last night, and the next job is doing a stacked crema marble fireplace surround – hopefully right to the ceiling! We are also hoping to take out our ugly tub in the bathroom and replace it with a natural stone walk in shower.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    I am in the midst of redoing our master bathroom and the saw and gift card would be an awesome prize.

    I am thinking of doing a porcelain tile for the shower surround with a glass mosaic border. I am in the demo stage and have been tile shopping for a while. The Tile Shop has an excellent selection of top quality stuff.

    The timing of this giveaway is truly uncanny.

    Oh my gosh. I just started looking for tile for my tub surround (your bathroom reno gave me the kick in the pants to finally get to it!). I never put tile up during the kitchen reno because I was chicken and figured I could get to it later. Plus I’ve wanted to tile the entry forever. This would be a fantastic thing for my house, because apparently I have a lot of tiling to do! Thanks youngsters, happy moving!
