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’m thinking of tiling the ‘stool side’ of our island. The paint gets scuffed up pretty easily by the kid’s feet tapping against it! I’d definitely go for a mosaic tile, mixed glass and stone like we used in our bathroom.

    tile me!!!

    when we remodled our kitchen 2 years ago we used white subway tiles as a back splash above the counter and differnt shades of orange glass tile from the stove to the hood fan [to coordinate with our orange walls]. currently i am in love with penny tiles and when we buy a new house and most likely renovate our kitchen [my husband was a chef, so this is kind of his “man cave” – and now he sells appliances, so that is completely helpful] i would love to have a penny tile backsplash.

    I love tile, all tile, too bad my entire house is filled with linoleum. I have the husband who knows how to tile and actually has tiled about 10 other people’s homes (with a borrowed tile saw), but he never does mine! Maybe this would help!!

    (Hand shoots up in the back of the classroom) TILE ME!! We moved into our DC rowhouse in July 2009 and have tackled many a painting projects (snowpocalypse was great for productivity) but the kitchen has been too overwhelming to even think about. Getting some subway tile for the backsplash would give us some momentum for the whole project!
