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.

    TILE ME!!! My husband and I just purchased our first home. We close the first week in January. Our home could seriously use a tile makeover! For real! The problem will be deciding on what tile!! Oh the possibilities are endless! Perhaps I have a classic old fashioned flair, but I love me some penny tiles for the floor and subway tiles for the walls. I adore mosaic tiles too. Darn it! And for the kitchen I love the recycled glass. Decisions, decisions! Oh yeah, I haven’t won yet. But a girl can dream right?!

    TILE ME!!! I absolutely love tiling. I had my first experience with it last year and thought it was so much fun. This would be such a great prize to win! I’ve had to rent a wet saw in the past. I love neutral rustic looking tile that would complement almost any room makeover in the future. It’s fun to plus it up with bold grout as well. Thanks!

    On the list, subway tiles for the kitchen, and tiling the bathroom. Currently in the bathroom is a gawd-awful plastic glued to the wall thing that’s super old, yellow (used to be white) and cracked. Remodeling on a small budget, small project by small project. Have done a lot in three years!

    Sorry, I originally commently on the wrong post.

    I work a general contactor. We do a lot of high-end work in Washington DC, so I get exposed to things I wouldn’t dream existed .. like sheets of glass and metal tile mix where the individual tiles are only 1/2″xrandom lengths. I’m totally digging this tile. It’s modern, trendy, and looks timeless installed (translate – gorgeours). I’ve been bugging the hubs to let me replace our current backsplash (of standard 4’x4′ white tile) and this would be the cou de gras!
