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 getting ready to tile our kitchen from the 80’s and it’s really hard to chose what style we like. I really like subway tiles in an off white tone though.

    TILE ME!

    I am in love with about 37 floors right now, because my husband and I are (fingers crossed) closing on our new house Friday and planning our projects.

    I’m most enamored of large-scale (like 12″ x 18″) deep, deep, dark gray tile, laid in a running bond for a kitchen. We’re also inheriting some really lovely original hex and square tiles that we’ll probably be duplicating in the downstairs bath.

    We have 2 upcoming projects for which we need tile. In our kitchen I’d love to have a subway tile backsplash! And in our bathroom I don’t know for sure yet, but I love the look of glass tile and would like to incorporate that in there someway.

    WOW – I’m blown away by this giveaway! I have been trying to convince my husband to DIY our master bathroom. I am love love loving the blue glass tile that you often see in spa’s. (I would love to get recycled glass tile as a nod to helping the environment!) Its so calming. We were just looking at a few wet saws but they are definitely out of our budget right now. We’d be so blessed to win this! :)

    My husband and I dream of retiling our bathrooms in sometime more appropriate to our 1950s home than the vinyl the last owner left. Probably some sort of small black and white tile–hex, basketweave, etc.
