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 am a college student but this would be my dad’s favorite thing in the entire world. I personally am loving glass tile backsplashes… so beautiful and can bring in a pop of color in a neutral kitchen.

    TILE ME!!!!!! I want to do a walk in shower in our master bath with white subway tile similar to what you guys did in your full bath. I hope to achieve a look where the glass walls seem to disappear and give the bathroom a much needed open and airy feel. Spa like even, with a grey blue wall color. Your little girl is just too cute! She’s so lucky to have such creative parents! Even more so that they can stay home to enjoy her everyday!

    TILE ME!!!

    I am currently under contract for my first home! It’s only a 600 sq ft condo in buildings that were constructed in the 1940s, so it will need some updating. I am so not the DIY type…but considering my budget, I need to start being one!! I’d love to re-tile my bathroom and update it to something bright and white and modern feeling!

    I love that tile can bring a bit of a sparkle or personality in the room. It is like jewlery for the house. Anything from rustic stacked stone to clear glass subway tiles to add just the right finishing touches to the “look.”

    We bought a house 6 months ago, and the first thing we did was rip out the disgusting backsplash, which matched the ugly laminate countertop. We haven’t replaced it yet, so this would be a great opportunity to do so!
