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 really love irregularly sized tile. My parents used some black natural stone tile in stripes of 3 different long rectangular sizes in my siblings’ bathroom and it looks fabulous, neutral, and mod! Don’t you love that expert description?! HA!

    TILE ME!! I adore all types of tile and since our lovely 70+ year old house’s former owner let the original BEAUTIFUL marble bathroom floor fall apart due to a plumbing issue, I fear we’re going to be embarking on a DIY tile project very soon. For two years I’ve overlooked at the huge cracks and nearly inch-deep slope under the sink, but I can’t deal with it anymore. There’s something so sad about tearing out something that was built before your parents were born but I think it’s going to have to happen (sniff). Winning this giveaway would be a little silver lining.

    Please! I don’t even know how to begin gushing because I really just want the avacado green tile in my bathroom to please, please go away. It’s the only thing left from my 1970s house that still shows the house’s age. I’m thinking some sort of natural looking stone.

Would love to get my hands on some glass mosaic tile for a bathroom project that’s been put on hold or some stainless steel subway tile for a kitchen backslash – the cream and yellow speckled square tiles have worn out their welcome. Thanks for the chance at this great giveaway! Happy Moving Day!
