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.

    Oh my word! my husband and I are in the middle of a kitchen remodel and we are doing EVERYTHING ourselves, including tile! It would definitely be blessing to not have to rent a tilesaw and free tile is always the best tile, but if i were to choose it would be a pale gray and blue glass mosaic.

    I am loving any tile that isn’t from the 1960s, olive green, or gold sparkled. Both our bathrooms scream tiling makeover. I would love to do them in natural stone colors accented with some bold colored glass tiles interspersed throughout somehow.

    We have a redo in progress, the sad bathroom has had its walls taken down and rebuilt and the old floor is just sitting there waiting for me to cover it with grey hex may grey tiles. It would be so happy!

    Tile me! This would certainly help kick-start a much needed kitchen renovation.

    As far as the tile I’m loving, it changes every single day. Some days I would love to have subway tile as a backsplash in my kitchen, other days I crave a glass mosaic. Maybe winning this prize would make me finally decide!

    Would love to add a classic subway tile backsplash in the kitchen and replace the 10 year old stained linoleum kitchen floor with natural stone tile. The timing of the giveaway couldn’t be better as this would be the best birthday present for my husband (his birthday is the 15th)!

    I just love the pure simplicity of white subway tile for a backsplash in the kitche, and for floor tile, I love all sorts of large neutral tiles. But I would love to go all glam on sparkly mosaic 1-inch tiles on our fireplace. I would SO use this amazing giveaway!!
