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 just moved into my grandmother’s house, and we are slowly making plans for a total reno. As far as our current tile goes, think grandmotherly flower printed tile for the kitchen back splash and the well known 1950’s pink tiled bathroom! What do we want? We’re loving clean and crisp…Perhaps all white subway tile in the bathroom with an accent of the sea green spa glass tile. Not sure about the kitchen yet, but boy would this win get us started! Thanks!

    “Tile ME”
    I am having a hard time deciding on one style. I like italian terrazo for some texture on the ranch kitchen/dining room floors. I also like a traditional basketweave marble floor for the bathrooms and square or subway tiles for the bath surround.

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    Always, Teresa T.

    TILE ME, please!! I am trying to convince my husband to let me remodel our kitchen. Since he enjoys the coaching side of life and I am a true DIY-er he doesn’t always agree with my obsession to remodel. This would definitely help to convince him.

    I fell in love with tile when studying in southern Spain where amazing tile seems to come standard on every house! So I guess I have a soft spot for Spanish/Moroccan tile in kitchens and entryways and would love to use it as an accent with subway tile one day!

    I’ve been agonizing over a decision for my new kitchen backsplash. Should I go with classic white ceramic subway tile? Should I jazz it up by adding a strip of colored glass tile? Should I do something else entirely because maybe white subway tile is overdone these days? See, I need help (and a great gift certificate wouldn’t be bad either!).
