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 absolutely MUST get a backsplash up in our kitchen before various sauces permanently stain the wall behind the range and I have to repaint. Loving the subway tile look, or maybe some glam mosaic style to add colour to our room.

    Tile me!!! I would love to have a shower with Imperial Bone Glass subway tile. We currently have some sort of plastic shower casing in the master bathroom of our condo purchased just over a year ago. It was one of the first things I wanted to change. It was also one of the first things that got put on the backburner after realizing that house projects can drain the bank account very quickly!! I would absolutely LOVE to be able to have a shiny new shower!

    Timing is everything! We are finishing up tiling our upstairs bathroom tonight (well, we still need to grout and seal the grout in a few days). We used a ceramic tile that looks a lot like a natural stone (a light colored slate) at half the cost, but for our pièce de résistance – the master bath – we’re going for mosaic marble (porcelain if budget constrains, which is probably will) floor, marble vanity and probably a subway tile shower. Yummy. Since we borrowered our wet saw and have plenty of tiling left to do in our house, this prize would be uh-may-zing!

    TILE ME! I sit and stare at my gorgeous mantel imagining it living up to its full potential of tileness. Right now it’s just covered in builder-grade ho-hum tile that does nothing but add drab to the room. I’d love to have tile pop to it!
