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.

    So I love hex tiles- so art deco- and they melt me…but the kitchen we are on the verge of re-doing is not in an art deco house- so I am moving towards earth tones-warm tiles but not reds and oranges- warm earth tones.

    I yearn to retile every flipping surface in my bathroom. I won’t go into the depressing details, but if I could get my hands on some fabulous white subway tile and/or some sort of clean-looking floor tile, it would like Christmas every day!

    We are currently saving up to reno our bath and kitchen, plus I would love to tile the fireplace in our living room to replace the nasty faux brick. I’m mostly a fan of natural materials, but I also like classic subway tile.

    Good luck with the move today – hope all goes smoothly!

    I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I would be if we won this giveaway! We have a bathrrom floor project that has been waiting a year to be completed! My personal taste in tile varies. Currently I like white subway tile as a wall above a tub, little square glass tiles as a backsplash, and (don’t know if this is officially considered to be tile) those tile mats that are river rocks. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

    We have one of those tiny 3/4 master bathrooms. I would LOVE to take out that nasty, too-short (we’re tall) prefab shower insert and tile the shower floor to ceiling…I would also remove the carpet (ugh) and tile the floor!! Something natural looking. Ooorrr, we plan to remodel our kitchen someday and a fab subway tile backsplash and/or a mosaic over the cooktop would be tremendous, too! fun :)

    We have a half bath that we are longing to turn into a 3/4 bath. Take out the giant linen closet that’s in there now (because, it’s no where near any bedrooms) and make that closet a shower. Roll in shower with ‘rock’ tile on the floor and travertine on the walls with a rain shower head from the ceiling. The problem is the budget for that :)
