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.

    I love glass tile! I especially love glass subway tile and would love to redo my kitchen backsplash with some. After that I’d probably pull up the lovely vinyl flooring in our kitchen and DIY a nice tile floor.

    I love raw cut natural stone tiles. We’re going to redo the bathroom soon, and I was planning to do the tilework on my own… I would like a darker natural stone in the shower, it just looks so cozy.
    You guys rock!

    OMG! Is this ever one that I could use! We just bought backsplash tile for the kitchen (glacier white glass subway tiles), and I’m going to have to rent a wet saw to get the job done. This would make things way easier – for this project & when I tackle the bathroom!

    We’re currently re-doing 1 of our 2 baths in our 1920 bungalow. We’re wanting to replace the original with NEW original. =) So, that means white subway tile (I’m kind of liking light gray grout right now) with white 1′ hex floor tiles.

    I still LOVE the 1-inch hexagonal white tile I put in my bathroom a few years back. And I’d love to do some natural stone tile in my entry way. And I fantasize about a clean, white subway tile backsplash in my kitchen. Or maybe some 1″x1″ glass for a backsplash. Oh, man…so much tile, so little time…

    My wife did the tiling selection in our last project. Clean white subway tile and a honed and filled travertine on the floor. Our new place has more modern tile with HUGE subway tiles on the floor in a textured brown and large subway tiles in our big shower in a textured off-white. Its a neat change.

    I am jonesing for some light gray glass subway tile for my kitchen, which needs to be torn down completely. For my bathroom, I’ve always wanted clean and classic white subway tile with hex tile for the floor (I had some in my 1929 apartment and ADORED it!).

    all the tile in our new house looks cute at first glance but is actually pretty cheap and poorly done if you spend more than two minutes looking at it. so i’d love to re-do the kitchen backsplash…and the kitchen floor…and the bathroom floor… :)

    Anything would be better than the black and white tile in our bathroom…that hasn’t been updated since the 1950’s. In a way, its kind of retro cool…but no, I’d love to retile!
