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.

    We updated our kitchen counter top last year and this year we need to add a back splash! I am tired of painting it every few months cause it gets so messy from cooking! Then the next project we need to do is put in a new bathroom floor.

    I am loving the classic subway tile. We are going to redo our master bath in the next few weeks (it’s been a long time coming). I plan to stick with the subway tile for the shower, but can’t decide what to do as a decorative shower stripe, which will prob be the same thing on the floor of the shower + we want to do the wall that the mirror will hang on…..and I can’t DECIDE!

    My (now husband) and I got married this summer and recently bought our first house! We would LOVE to add a backsplash to our kitchen- we are thinking something clean like subway tile, I’ve also seen stainless steal tile that looks pretty cool! .. We would also use tile in to re-do our bathroom to make it more spa like for us!

    I’m loving the idea of a mosaic of warm brown and golden beige one inch glass tiles used as a backsplash for my range top…a warm brown and beige to compliment the speckles of color in my new countertop (which, unfortunately, I’m still just loving the “idea” of).

    We’ve been saving for two bathroom remodels. Both of our bathrooms are similar to your “before” pictures. One is covered in pink tile and the other in yellow with teal accents. We can’t wait to rip into them and replace them with clean subway tiles!
