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.

    My husband (newlyweds of 6 months) and I just recently bought our first home and I have become obsessed with your blog! I have spent hours reading all the past posts and looking at your projects and have gotten fantastic ideas! Our first floor bathroom is in desperate need of a total remodel and this tile saw and gift card would come in very handy!!!!

    Oh, I’m so late to the party, as it’s been a HORRIBLE weather day here in Michigan and this is my first chance to check in. Numbers this high never get picked, but…

    TILE ME!!! I so love the glass subway tiles for a backsplash and have been drooling over them for ages. I look at the linky photo on the right all of the time and just sigh. Someday!

    Good luck with the move!

    Ever since we moved into our house, our builder has ignored us about replacing tiles that should’ve been fixed before we moved in! SOOO… it would be great to just completely redo them because I don’t like them all that much anyway…

    TILE ME! The last time we did tile, my poor husband had to use our rented wet saw in the rain, late at night since we only had it for 24 hours. It would be awesome to be able to work our tile magic (perhaps a lovely green wall in the kitchen?) without that hassle again!

    this would be just what we need to get our bathroom update on the move again! there is tile EVERYWHERE now.. and while a bathroom needs tile.. im just not sure it has to be up the walls and onto the ceiling……
    we want a subway tile update.. maybe some sweet 12″ to the floor.. and the previous home owners left the job unfinished in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom…
    what a great give-a-way!
