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.

    Holy cowza! This is an amazing giveaway. I would be happy with any neutral tile-anything’s gotta be better than my ratty old carpet in the bathroom. Yep, that’s right…carpet in a bathroom. Worst/Grossest idea EVER!

    We have to replace our crumbling kitchen tile floor so I’ve been oohing over slate tiles, but I fear that will be too dark. I think we’re leaning towards a warm natural stone, and I’d LOVE to DIY it!

    Ohhh this would be the best present for my husband… we did our kitchen and our master bath sans one of those saws and have always wondered why we don’t own one. The tile would be perfect for our downstairs bathroom which we are planning to do sometime next year fingers crossed!!!!!!!!

    We just purchased a new home, moved in 3 weeks ago today actually!!! So listening to your moving issues and plans has been a real joy…the one thing our new home needs more than anything though, is a new tile shower in the master bath! Not sure which kind yet, maybe some beige tiles, or some dark black, silver and white tile mosaic? ooohhh the possibilities!!!

    Totally digging white octagon and dot for the floor in our master bath with traditional subway on the shower surround (maybe even taking it all the way to the ceiling Petersik style). As for our kitchen backsplash, I’m a sucker for some carrara marble. And I’m dying to do our laundry room floor in the black and white octagon and dot.

    The kitchen is our next big project after the holidays are over. Out goes the 30-year-old wallpaper, and in goes some new tile for the backsplash. How jump-up-and-down-excited I would be if I won!
