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.

    This would be amazing to help us in updating our kitchen. My hubby and I are currently (and oddly being pretty successful) painting our ugly light wood laminate kitchen cabinets crisp white. So excited!!! This would be awesome to make a really pretty blue tile backsplash or maybe white with pretty black accents, oh the possibilities, on one side of our kitchen by the stove(we’re planning on knocking down the wall above the counter to make it much more open on the other side). Needless to say, we can use all the help we can get…we’re remodel and design virgins right now lol Good luck on your move you guys!

    We recently remodeled our half-bath with new pain…(oops, Freudian slip, I guess)… light teal paint, white trim, engineered wood flooring, sink and faucet, and hardware. I am thinking that glass tile with hints of blue and white would make it glamtastic!

    Our nasty, decade-old beige-now-brown-in-spots carpet must go! Saving up to buy supplies and use vacation time in 2011 to tile the house. After that – the kitchen backsplash to recycled green and tan glass tiles.

    Tile Me!! I’m totally ready to tile our kitchen and laundry room floors, plus our one and only bathroom. Lately I’ve been obsessing over huge natural stone floor tiles, and glass and stainless subway tiles for our kitchen backsplash! Strangely, I’m torn between smoky gray and navy blue, and off white and mango.
