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.

    We’re going to re-tile our master bath tub surround as soon as we get our tax refund. My husband would love it if we could get a head-start on the project and not wait till the spring!

    TILE ME! We need to retile our bathroom (loving dark stone right now, probably a slate) and our kitchen ASAP. We really want to move into a bigger space to start a family and updating the tile is necessary to make the sale happen.

    TILE ME! Oh boy am I excited about this give-away! We have tile projects lined up the wazoo. Yes, wazoo. We have granite tile waiting to be installed on our new custom kitchen island (from Tile Shop), and future plans to tile our bathroom floors, entry way and kitchen countertops…as well as a backsplash. What can I say? We’re a house, or couple, made for tiling. :)

    love the warm natural stone surrounding an open shower. Actually for my mother. She’s fantastic. Single mama who desperately needs her bathroom redone. She’s done almost the whole house on her own and would love to treat her to this.

    Tile Me!! We are getting ready to retile our only full bath. (And by getting ready I mean talking my husband into our second bathroom remodel in 3 months – last time I just started by taking the existing tile off the wall leaving no option but completing the project.) I’m leaning towards a natural stone like tile for a warm spa look. But I tend to change my mine at least 100 time before and sometime during a project (just hopefully not after).
