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’m loving my new bathroom thaat is complete with beautiful tile in the shower with river rock floor. I would love to be able to redo my parents bathroom that still has the same CARPET in it after 20 years. I don’t know who thought carpet in the bathroom was ever a good idea but it is time for it to be replaced with some great new tile floors.

    WOW! Awesome giveaway…
    We redid our fireplace and put in a modern fireplace insert and have been living with it unfinished for over a year until we decide exactly what tile to use. THIS would make that decision so much easier. We are leaning toward glass tile, but we change our minds almost daily.

    Hope the move goes smoothly. Looking forward to reading about it and seeing pics of the new place.

    (Hopefully) moving into a new house soon, and WOW do our bathrooms need tile help. We’re still rocking the 60s tile and desperately want to change it, but the budget isn’t there quite yet! It’s amazing how the style comes so close (mosaic 1″ tiles) but SO far from what is popular today!

    Tile me!!!! OMG that would make my year. We have been dying to put some amazing tile in our kitchen for our backsplash but don’t have the funds right now to do so. As for our choice- hard to say. I would love to do daring- a sea glass block of some sort. But the practice side of me says a neutral tone stone. Either way- some sort of stacked stone or subway tile type shape.

    We are first time home owners remodeling an older home and are just about to start tiling. We are looking at tiling our entryway and kitchen any day now so this would be a HUGE help! I’m dreaming of rustic terra cotta kitchen and entryway tiles and a white subway tile backsplash.
