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.

    Awesome giveaway! We just closed on our first home on Friday and have been talking all about our needed home improvements. We learned that the Tile Shop has classes from your site and planned to go there this weekend. You and Sherry have inspired us to DIY it up! Our first project is the half-bath on the main level. We are currently crushin on a blue hued mosaic tile for the bathroom and some metal tiles for the kitchen.

    I love the clean, sleek look of slate in a bathroom (hopefully mine one day!) although really any natural stone tile would please me. Of course crisp, white subway tile looks so fresh in a kitchen!

    TILE ME! We are re-doing the kitchen, painting the cabinets white, restoring hardwood floors & installing a tile backsplash! Right now I’m loving warm natural stone with some copper accents for the backsplash. Totally in theme with my 1926 bungalow!

    Our vintage bungalow is in desperate need for tile in our master bath. Previous owners did a white square tile job (not bad) with gold, blue, and green accent tiles scattered throughout (yuck). This would be such a blessing!!

    Our kitchen has 0 backsplash. We redid our kitchen last summer and intended on putting on up a month or so later… it has been over a year a no backsplash! I would love to do a stacked stone, or some glass tile, I’m having a tough time deciding!
