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 would love to update our Master bath by tiling the shower or doing a back splash over the tub. We just bought the house in November and we are eager to start some projects! :)

    Best of luck today!

    Oh PLEASE TILE ME!!

    I have a master bath that is in desperate need of new tile– it has a big tile shower that doesn’t match the tile tub that doesn’t match the tile floor. So much tile!
    I also have a laundry room that needs tiled. And a guest bath. And a kitchen back splash, and a basement, and a….
    well you get the point. I have put off the tiling while I am painting. But if I got this tile would be bumped to #1!

    Tile me! I’m not sure what tile I like, all I know is that my laminate kitchen countertops extend up the wall to the bottom of my cabinets, and it looks ugly! And needs to be fixed immediately. Any tile would be better than that!

    I’m dying to add a backsplash to our kitchen. I’d love something modern and earthy. Our house has what people tell me is a very differnt color scheme (one burnt orange wall and a shade of greenish on the others) and our house/kitchen is very open.

    We’re thinking of adding a marble subway tile back splash to our kitchen and we’ve got an entire VERY PURPLE master bath. I’d love to do a mid-tone grey slate for the walls and something darker on the floor. And I’ve always wanted to learn to do this myself…

    We just purchased our home, and the bathroom has a horrible tile job, so bad they tried to hide a cream tile mixed in with white in hopes we wouldn’t notice. We do however love the way tile is in our bathroom so we’d want to tear it down and put up new clean, matching white subway like tiles.

    And our kitchen( if you can’t already tell our flippers were not tile savvy) our kitchen tile is a tan color and we love it, but NONE OF IT IS LEVEL.. ugghh.. drives me batty. I would love to have a clear reds and orange back splash tile. Good luck on the move!!

    We want to tile our kitchen backsplas and build a bathroom in our basement. I see miles of subway tiles in my future. Although I am partial to subway tiles, my head can easily be turned by any beautiful tile. I also do stained glass mosaics. I would love to branch out and use tiles & have a saw that can cut through large glass pieces to use in my mosaics.

    We recently tiled out kitchen floor and could not have done it without the tile saw a friend loaned us. What a life saver!
    Next up is out kitchen back splash – and then on to our bathroom floor.

    I am loving the small square mosaic glass tile for our back splash – which the Tile Shop just so happens to have a great selection of! It would be a huge bonus to have our very own tile saw! Swoon.
