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.

    TILE ME! We live in an charming house built in 1927. We are getting read to embark on a little DIY in our main floor bathroom. We’ve been looking at a lot of different kinds of tile. It’s hard to find anything that tops white subway tiles on the wall and little white hexagon floor tiles.

    TILE ME! Maybe I’m boring but I love simple white subway tile. That is what I hope to use in our bathroom if we ever get to remodeling it. (Right now it is awful gold tiles with white/metalic gold animal accent tiles – yes, it is original to the 1950s house!)

    TILE ME! Hopefully this one shows up, my computer might have eaten the last one. I would love to demo my bathroom and take down the pink/gray tile and replace it with penny tile and mosaic designs through white tile to brighten up the space. In dream world, I would demo the bathroom and closets, then take up an extra foot of bedroom space to make a walk in closet + beautiful bathroom…but in real life anything would be an improvement.

    I haven’t been looking at a lot of tile because I didn’t think I would be able to do a tiling project in our new house anytime soon due to a tight budget and busy schedules. But with this prize I would be able to replace all the stark white, hospital looking tile that fills the house we purchased sooner rather than later!!
