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 ME! We are surrounded in 1950’s bathroom tile and 1970’s kitchen backsplash tile. I don’t like the look and would love to change it or cover it, but am learning to love how easy it is to clean.

    TILE ME!!!

    When we (me and the hubs) moved into our house a year ago there was this awesome black and white vintage tile in the bathroom, but it was so damaged in places that we had to say good bye to it (tear drop). At the time we didn’t have much time or money, so we did a quick-fix with some faux-wood linoleum. When we have the resources, we would really like to find some vintage-like tile to replace the old tile. There are also about 5 other huge tile projects we would like to do- glass subway tiles for a kitchen back splash, white tile in the basement, entryway… the list goes on. P.S. Lately I’ve been jonesin for some black matte penny round tiles. mmmmmm.

    TILE ME!!!

    Oh man, my husband and I have quite the project ahead of us! We bought a house last year, and even though we paid for the inspection, after we moved in, we realized that the master tub leaks from the faucet down to the basement…not something covered by our home warranty, sadly. Well, we’ve been saving like mad to re-do the bathroom because we can’t get the old tub fixed, and it’s a funky nearly irreplaceable size, and when it is removed, all of the tile and flooring is going to be destroyed because it was built around the tub. What do we have so far? A tub. a tub and a dream. A dream of a glamorous tile design that goes from the floor to the walls seamlessly. A dream of saving to pay for this huge project, and a belief that we can do it! Wish us luck – a tile saw would be a pretty incredible start!

    Tile me! I can think of so many great things to do with a wet saw and so many fun things to tile. My mother has been into mosaic and I would love to use what she knows combined with a wet saw to make some of my very own creations. I’m already looking around the house thinking of tile.

    TILE ME!

    We are wanting to try out a tile that looks like hardwood to replace our ruined (by our dogs!) hardwood floors! They do make such a thing, we saw it on HGTV.

    TILE MEEEEEE! I’ve been waiting to do a tile backsplash in my kitchen .. just LOVE the look! It really adds a lot to a kitchen. I’m also a huge fan of a gorgeous tiled shower as well — especially metallic green’s and blues. Man I really really really hope I win this! Would be the best Christmas present EVER!

    TILE ME!….I love the subway glass tile as a backsplash in the kitchen. My husband and I are buying our first home and it definitely needs some TLC. I can’t wait to attack the kitchen first!

    TILE ME! Our house was built in 1982, and the tile in the entry way is still the original- an outdated hot mess! We would love to do a natural stone look and carry it into the half bath!

    TILE ME!!!

    I could so use this! I tiled our kitchen and bathrooms myself using a $50 wet saw from the home improvement store….painful!

    I would love the opportunity to tile the tub and surround with some of that beautiful metallic subway tile.

    TILE ME!!!

    There are LOTS of tile projects my house is ready for- namely the bathroom. Lately I’ve been scoping out some matte black penny round tiles that are reminiscent of the original tiles that we unfortunately had to demolish when we moved into the house. sigh.

    TILE Me and I love the colored glass tiles. It kind of reminds me of subway tiles. I think it makes your kitchen or even somewhere in your bathroom and laundry room looks elegant and modern.

    TILE ME!!! Oh my goodness, how we need this! We have a kitchen with laminate cabinets and NO backsplash that could really use a make-over and this would be a great jump start. Not to mention our lovely bathroom with brick-brown tile up to your eyeballs, peach tile on the floor and a yellow tub. Help!

    We just bought a new-to-us-house and one of the things we really want to change out soon is the tile around the fireplace. I’m thinking of something really earth-toned with some bits of shine in it that would twinkle in the firelight.

    “Tile Me”!!

    I currently have plain white tiling on my kitchen counters, but no back splash. I would love to add a bright and eye catching back splash to contrast!

    TILE ME! Glass Mosaic for my kitchen back-splash and Carrara Subway for my master bath, PRETTY PLEEEEEEZZZZ! (fingers SUPER CROSSED!)

    Tile me! Or holy cow! Tile my kitchen and bathroom with that junk! We’ve been hoping to do so before the latest DIY project, Baby #1 arrives in April. I’m digging a brown ceramic stone in the kitchen that has a lot of movement. That’s art-speak for they-aren’t-exactly-the-same. And a blue-grey slate type guy in the master bathroom.
