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!

    I really love all sorts of tile. I think what makes it look great is how it’s incorporated into the design. I have horrible light green tile in my bathroom that I just cannot wait to remove and update with something more streamlined and modern!

    Good luck with the closings!

    I’m very into glass tile at the moment. But my home has old ceramic tile in the bathroom and kitchen and I love it, too. I’m sure I could come up with a little (or big) project if I had my hands on this sweet deal!

    I SO heart glass backsplash for the kitchen. We really need to update ours. It’s pretty neutral but with a country flare to it. I’d love to have some pretty glass in punchy colors to liven it up a bit. Also I’d so love to do a black shiny tile on our fireplace. Candince Olsen did it once on a basement fireplace it was totally amazing!

    I L-O-V-E the look of natural stone tile anywhere that it can be put…open shower surround, backsplash, laundry room, bathrooms, etc, etc. I’m currently in the process of convincing my wonderful hubby to reno our two, 1990 builder’s grade bathrooms, and this would go a long way in helping him take that leap of faith:) Hope the house shifting goes smoothly for you guys this week…and of course Clara and Burger too!!!

    Ooooooooooh I hope the random generator has a bias towards people who are saving up to remodel their bathroom! We have this absolutely wretched bathroom that I’m dying to redo (think beige fiberglass tub, bright yellow toilet, cracked faux marble sink) and I would totally redo the shower with subway tiles.

    Our bathroom and kitchen both need near total remodels. I love the simple look of white subway tiles in kitchens. Plus, I want to turn a very large closet in the bathroom into a shower stall; some beautiful tile would encourage us to get started on that.

    I am saving to gut and redo my kitchen in my 1950’s ranch next summer. There are so many beautiful tiles out there right now, that it is going to be difficult to choose a style. I am thinking clean, crisp white tiles with a splash of color on the back-splash. What an amazing giveaway. Thanks!
