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 Please TILE ME!

    Next year we are going to remodel our completely hideous 1960’s kitchen. The most exciting day of my life is the day I get to take a sledge hammer to my cabinets – who’s doors seem to fall off DAILY!!! I am imagining beautiful subway tiles and maybe some metalic glam accents!

    I currently have almost brandnew tile in my kitchen for the back splash, but the owners before didn’t do so good at picking it out. New counter tops and new backsplash that just clash so much side by side. I’m desperate to find a fix and would love something more solid and simple. But those little octagonal tiles that fit so nicely together, seen in bathrooms the most, i would love love LOVE to have some of those for my bathroom renovations!

    “TILE ME!” As do it yourselfers, we have put our own granite countertop and backsplash in our kitchen a few years ago with advice from the Tile Shop. We would love to tear into our bathroom. We are currently into the tumbled travertine Tile but I would love to spend some time gazing at the glass tile before I made my decision!

    We’re redoing our kitchen next fall, and I so can’t wait for gorgeous mosaic tiles…and maybe we’ll do a bathroom and take the tile all the way to the ceiling like you did in your bathroom…it makes the whole bathroom look so much taller and grander and wow!
