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.

    TILE ME!!

    We’re moving into our new house at the end of January. Great house, but needs a lot of updating (80s colonial).

    Like you, we are HUGE fans of classic white subway tile. I’d love to skip the off white (with herb themed accent tiles!) backsplash that is currently in place (and makes me hesitant to think we could pull off painting the 80s oak cabinets white). Would love to paint cabs and redo the backsplash.

    GOOD LORD TILE ME!!

    We actually have half of a master bathroom right now that’s waiting for us to be able to afford the tile to complete it. I’m very much in love with retro-feel tile, including glossy black subway tile. We have a red clawfoot tub we’re refinishing that would just pop amazingly against a black background. This would mean we could finally finish our modest master bath AND tackle a foyer project we’ve been hoping to do. We’ve had two kids in two years, and this would mean we could finally carve out a space for ourselves and stop living in constant construction.

    We are trying to put together a kitchen/entry/powder room make over for the spring time and this would be just the most perfect win ever.

    I’m dreaming of glass mixed with natural stones for our back splash, and some kind of natural stone floor for the three spaces…

    TILE ME! We’re taking over my MIL’s house, and I am LOVING the dark faux wood grain porcelain tiles for the kitchen floor, and some warm natural stone for the backsplash. There is NO tile in the bathroom at all. It makes me sad inside, and I really want to put some great glass tiles in there to brighten it up some.
