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!”

    I am actually planning on doing some upcoming tile work around my house. We are replaceing all the old dingy (use to be) white ceramic tile in our hall bath. I haven’t decided what look I’m going for but know the tile shop has a wonderful selection and showroom here in Charlotte. I would also like to do a mosaic glass tile around our boring fireplace surround. I sure hope I win. The wet saw and gift card would come in handy. Merry Christmas and good luck on your move!!

    Ohhh, fingers crossed. We are saving up to renovate our bathrooms next year and this would be HUGE. (And they are stuck in the 1980s and really, really need the help.)

    I love glass or ceramic penny tile and subway tile — both trendy right now, but also so classic…and a good fit with the style of our brick Victorian house.

    Tile me! I love glass subway tile! I also can’t wait to replace the tile in my bathroom that the previous owner’s decided to stick those jello like art decor on, which then stained the tile behind it. So we have remnants of stencil like tulips on our tile!

    What a great giveaway. I really want to redo my fireplace surround. I am so bored with the boring beige tiles the builder picked out. I am not sure what I would replace it with, but I know the Tile Shop has TONS of options.

    And…I would love to give my husband a tile saw for Christmas. He would be so shocked! :)

    OMG, my husband would LOVE this because we do all our home improvements ourselves as well. He’s been asking for this exact type of saw!

    I love warm brown travertine tiles on the floor or inside showers (no grout line really, just butted up against each other!) and tumbled cobblestone for the backsplash or outdoor spaces. <3

    I too love a wet saw… we have a vaulted ceiling screened porch with a concrete slabbed floor; I would love to lay tile that looks like brick in a herringbone pattern on said floor. It would be a great gift to win to celebrate our 1 yr anniversary in our new home and our 6 yr wedding anniversary. Thanks guys!

    We have one more tile project in our house – replacing the ugly tile around our fireplace. I love subway tiles and glass tiles, but I’m not sure if either of those styles would look right in this spot. I think I’d have to shop around for a while.
