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.

    I really would love a new backsplash. Although pretty on their own, the Mexican style tiles are clashing with our more modern house decor.

    And I will tell everyone about YHL and The Tile Shop when I finish my super colorful, eclectic mosaic on my concrete front steps. I have two steps, then an 6′ x 6′ landing, then three more steps. I will need a LOT of tiles for that project…and a beautiful tile saw too.
    Love you guys!

    TILE ME! I love pretty, shiny tile. If it sparkles, I love it and gravitate toward it like a fish to shiny bait. I would love a beautiful green glass tile on our fireplace, a classic white subway tile in our bathroom so I can make it pop with bright, beautiful accents….as for our kitchen not sure yet, but thinking along the lines of slate, hmmm, so many options!

    haha.
    I like natural stone looking tiles. We redid our bathroom (it used to have carpet! Gross!) and got some beige-y natural tiles and it looks awesome (thanks to our handy-dandy Home Depot book). Now we want to tile our kitchen (because I’m tired of it looking like a Brady-bunch reject). I have NO idea what to tile that in though.

    !TILE ME! or rather, please help Tile the bath, in Sparrow’s NEW NEST! Sparrow Fae is my 9 month old granddaughter. Her mom, my daughter, (Summerlily) & dad (Roy) just bought their 1st home (closing on Dec 28). It’s a wonderful older cape…except for the one full bath, which is totally covered in flesh colored tile, (to match the flesh colored tub of course!) I’m pretty sure Summerlily’s tile of choice right now is basic white subway tile…simple and clean.
    love your blog…you inspire! Thank you!
