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 loving any tile that ISN’T currently on our kitchen floor. The previous homeowners DIY’ed it but didn’t know what they were doing so the uneven tiles are driving me crazy. I’d love to replace those and retile the kitchen backsplace with white subway tile.

    I’ve been stalking some penny tiles for our kitchen backsplash (scrubbing the drywall is getting old!) and also thinking about ripping out the sink/cabinets in our bathroom, which would require a new (slate?) tile floor to replace the vinyl I think. This would certainly be the (amazing) prize to get those projects started!

    TILE ME!!!!! I have one bathroom to finish and we’re going to do the kitchen (floor and backsplash) one of these days. We have tile for the bathroom floor, a stone look porcelain that we got from a builder’s supply place for something like 79 cents a sq. ft. Haven’t decided on the kitchen yet, sometimes the decision making is harder than the physical labor! ;-)

    Both of our bathrooms are in DESPERATE need of an overhaul. I’m particularly loving “Noir Hex” mosaic tiles for flooring, paired with classic white subway tile for the shower surround.

    I am loving subway tile these days – white especially, but I think it’s also pretty to get a colored variety in glass. Glass tile in general is also floating my boat, esp if it has a metallic sparkle in it :) I’m thinking the kitchen would get a make-over if I win…!
