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 pretty much love all tile, but white subway tile is one of my all time faves as it has such a classic look to it.

    On a sidenote, I REALLY hope I win this giveaway. My Dad just discovered he needs to redo the plumbing in the master bath of our house (which equals complete bathroom redo) so this would be a huge help to my parents!

    Ever since we found out we wouldn’t be able to move, my kitchen back splash is back on the front burner! I love metallic subway tile, but right now I am crushing on those tiny 1-2″ mosaics in red/orange tones to match our decor. If I won this, I’d probably tile the back splash behind the stove as well!

    My parents are on their way to retirement and they want to put tile on their backsplash of their renovated kitchen. I’m not really sure what they’re looking for, but I don’t think they know either. But hopefully with the help of the Tile Shop they could figure it out!

    Gosh, I would love to win this for my husband. We are looking into installing tile in our kitchen (floor). Right now I love the small stone hex or rectangles that you rarely see. I’m not sold on them yet–it’s a lot of grout to keep clean–but I sure do love the look.

Currently my bathroom has pink/gray 6 inch tiles that were lovely for the 70 year old previous owner. I would like to open up the space, add in some brighter tiles, brighter lights and make it a newer space. Please TILE ME! :)
