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.

    Just bought my wife’s GREAT GRANDMOTHER’S house they built back in the 40’s! Needless to say the carpet in the bathroom and kitchen need some love! We love glass tile but we do want to stick with the time period of the house so we may opt for something different!

    I am really missing the retro-diner look with those large black & white floor tiles and diamond patterned kitchen splash border. Just let me pull up my red bar stool, and I’m ready to go!

    We’re hoping to renovate our very outdated, “too many issues to mention” bathroom soon. Having a wet saw and some beautiful marbled subway tiles for the shower would be amazing!

    We’ve been purchasing all of the supplies for overhauling our home’s only full bath and we would be over the moon if we could get our paws on a beautiful dark mosaic border to break up the white marble my parent’s gifted us (leftovers from their remod… score!) for our floor.
    Good luck with your big move :)

    Tile Me! I would love to have an actual backsplash in our half bath – the prior owners took two huge pieces of tile (that don’t match anything else in the house) and slapped them on the wall. It looks terrible. There are lots of beautiful mosaic tiles I have my eyes on!

    My kitchen is in DIRE NEED of a new backsplash. What’s up there now is hideous and brown and poorly done by the flippers who flipped our house before we moved in. I want to put in simple white subway tile to glam it up and simply it.

    Also – hope this Richmond snow isn’t hindering your moving plans too much today!

    I’m a big fan of the larger 18+” natural tiles for floors and showers. For the kitchen, you can’t beat a subway tile.
