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 just moved to Richmond from Pasadena CA about 6 mths ago and bought our first (new) home, which needs a lot of decorating out of its builder grade-beige blahs. How about some natural slate stone for a kitchen backspash with all the beautiful greys, browns and rusts, or a warm spa-green mosaic glass and white subway tiles in a new master bath shower enclosure. And our laundry room is begging for a personality boost with bright sunny yellow and clean blue glass tile. And then there are the floors!!! Oh, my! I could go on and on!

    I have enjoyed reading your blog for several months now and never posted a comment, but this offer was too good to let pass by. My new house needs some tile-personality in the worst way. I had to throw out a life-line to you. :)

    Happy moving day!!

    Carrie

I would love warm stone tile in the kitchen, or subway tile, or anything that isn’t this plain white scuffed up particle board! Crossing my fingers, shuting my eyes tight, and saying please please pleeease!!!

    We’re saving up to do a bathroom remodel right now and we’re wanting to do a lot of tiling, so this would be awweesome.

    I’m loving classic white subway tile and blue glass tiles right now.

    We’re also on the lookout for a floor tile for our kitchen… something dark brownish to blend with our wood laminate in the living room. It’s been really tough finding something!

    Lately, I am loving recycled glass tiles:subway and round cut to be exact…they are just so unique and relaxing-looking. We’re hoping to do our backsplash in one of these styles!

    BTW- Happy moving day! : )

    I am loving the metallic tile for a bathroom backsplash, but my mother-in-laws basement flooded a year ago so we had to rip up all of the carpet. She wants to replace it with tile, however she is still saving for it. I would love to help her out with the wet saw and gift card!
