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.

    Our first new-to-us-home improvement was to fix a leaky toilet – which made us discover the rotting floorboard. Hello, excuse to retile!

    I’m loving SomerTile Lantern White Glazed Porcelain Floor and Wall Mosaic :)

    I’m really looking forward to an (eventual) upgrade/remodel/addition to give us a bigger kitchen. I’ve got my eye on some sleek and timeless subway tiles for a backsplash and cooking area surround. I have a feeling my biggest problem will be picking out what color to make those tiles!

    Can’t wait to see the new Casa Petersik!

    White subway tile will always be my fav for the classic look- but lately I have loved the glass tile backsplashes and accents. Really on my list of things to tile is the bathroom floor…

    Last time we took on a tiling project was the week of our wedding- nothing like tiling the entry way the week that you are doing nothing but running in and out the front door trying to get last minute things done!

    Oh please, oh please, oh please.
    Once on an episode of ‘I Hate My Kitchen’ (I think) I saw the most amazing fish scale shaped tile in different shades of green with whites scattered in the mix. Sounds weird, but it was an amazing result. I’d love love love that look with shades of blue mixed with whites…soothing ocean/beach house vibe.

    Tile Me! My sister and dad do beautiful mosiacs in bathrooms and kitchens with tile — basically I love anything they create. The bathroom was a compass of sorts framed by thin tiles, and then surrounded by white subway tiles. The kitchen was a more earthy tile mandala above the stove. I love them both!
