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.

    My home is desperate for some new tile. We started out with old, dirty, 50s plastic tile on every wall in the kitchen. Here it is mid-demo: http://twonineonefour.blogspot.com/2010/11/holy-sht_13.html
    The walls are now gone, but we don’t know what we’re replacing them with yet! Ahh! Crisis!

    TILE ME! I wish I knew more about tile, but mostly I just know what’s wrong with the tile at our house – leaky tiles in our shower, no extras for the floor tiles in the main area of our house and a very unfortunate incident with a heavy pedestal getting knocked over, etc. Awesome contest, thanks for offering it!

    TILE ME! What a great prize! I would luv to redo my kitchen backsplash, and my shower, and my bathroom floor, and put in tile by the back door, and…there are too many things I could tile. I’m a blue-green fan, so likely it will be in that tone.

    TILE ME! I would love to put subway tile in my kitchen. Right now it’s got this weird plastic-y backsplash that is an extension of the horrible countertops. This tile might be the thing that kicks the kitchen makeover into overdrive!

    Best wishes on your move today!

    I would love love LOOOOOVE a glass tile backsplash in my kitchen. Right now it’s simple and functional but rather plain. What it needs is a some lovely jewelry (in the form of a lovely backsplash of course!)…

    I also LOVE that riverrock tile that I’ve seen in bathrooms – especially on the bottom of showers…
