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.

    So many amazing things you could do with tile! Lately, I’ve been in love with the idea of a stainless steel subway tile splashboard (say that 5 times fast…) for the kitchen!

    Thanks for another great giveaway :)

    I love hard floors (read: not carpet)! And tile is so versatile and easy to clean! I love all tiles that are NOT hexagonal (our house had baby blue hexagonal tiles, tub, sink, and toilet when we moved in).

    Tile me! Can’t win if I don’t enter no matter the odds, right? We love slate tile for floors (have an entry way to do) and marble subway tiles for a backsplash on our DIY list. Not to mention we have 2 bathrooms in desperate need of tile so please count us in! :)

    Congratulations on your new home – catching up and love the potential!

    With old farmhouses there’s always something to redo – and the disfunctional bathroom is next! But the mudroom/laundry could use tile too – oh, where to start :)

    We love keeping up with your posts and can hardly wait to see what is to come in your new home. Congratulations!

    I just tiled my bathroom with semi-gloss white subway tile. I love it! Very clean and still goes with the age and style of my 1938 house. My kitchen is next! I’m thinking some glass tile would look nice as a backsplash…
