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.

    This would be perfect, our next project is tiling the laundry room/powder room. We’re going with a neutral grey in there, but I’m a big fan of glass for backsplashes and subway tile in bathrooms (those are both future projects, hopefully).

    TILE ME!

    This give away was made for me! We moved into a new house 7 months ago and I’ve been dreaming of replacing all it’s tile ever since. Every tile in all three bathrooms and the kitchen is some tone of pink. It’s awful! Baby pink in the guest bath, dark brownish pink in the master, and two different fleshy pinks in the powder room and the kitchen. The master bedroom and bath were also painted pink (repainted that immediately) and carpeted pink (replacing in a few years when the kids have outgrown their messiest stage). Someone loved pink! The worst of it is I’m the only female in the house. With a husband, two sons and a even a male dog I want to make sure I can sneak a little femininity into the house but this is ridiculous. I dream of the day we can put in some beautiful natural stone and white subway tile. That would be perfect!

    Oh, my gosh — what an amazing giveaway. We’re in the midst of three (yes, three!) bathroom renovations, and our little tile score-n-snap is not cutting it…literally.

    Right now, I’m coveting some bright white marble tiles for our master bath floor, and also thinking about little glass tiles for a kitchen backsplash (that after my husband’s sourdough starter exploded out of its container overnight all over our kitchen wall, and as he attempted to gently remove it, the wallpaper came right along with it).

    Good luck with the move!
