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.

    Tonight, my husband and I are dinner at this awesome new restaurant. In their bathroom, they had floor to ceiling tiny vertical glass tiles in this light seafoam color. I spent a few extra minutes in the stall admiring the tile and the tiler’s handiwork. Beautiful!

    Oh holy cow. How amazing would this be. I was just thinking the other day about how I need to relocate the upper cabinets around my stove and tile straight up to the ceiling. With this gift card, I could do some gorgeous glass mosaics. Definitely a step up from plain white subway tile!

    I just stumbled across your blog and love it! My fiance and I just bought our first house this year and have a ton of DIY projects on a list! One of them is to do a backsplash in the kitchen! We’ve painted the walls a light yellow color and have started integrating a wine theme so we would love glass mosaic that has a bit of a yellow undertone but still warm colors!

    TILE ME! Loving the clean lines of subway tile, with just a little retro thrown in. Our second child was born in May and we’re hoping to get the bathroom done soon. Our first just turned 4 last week,and recently asked “I wonder what real bathroom walls look like?”, as we have had half-exposed teardowns since he was born!!!

    TILE ME! My wife and I want to take our bathroom back to match the original style of the house with hexagonal tiles and possibly subway tile. We’d also love a punchy colored backsplash in our kitchen.
