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.

    After a wall-paper-removal mishap in the bathroom, we tiled a tiny section of wall above the shower. Definitely an amateur job, but looks alright.
    We would love to rip up the linoleum that is currently there and put down some neutral, maybe natural tile. Would also love to ripe up the carpet in the kitchen (!) and addition in favor of ceramic tiles.

    tile me! I like subway tiles, though because we couldn’t afford the ones we wanted we ended up covering a floor in penny tiles…literally penny …. mostly U.S. but some Canadian slipped in too.. stole the idea of apartment therapy…it looks great so far… but we still need to tile a shower…and maybe a kitchen…

    I need this right now. We just bought a house that we closed on about 3 weeks ago. We gutted a full bath and a half bath. We’ve already tiled the half bath, but haven’t bought any for the full. I have been drooling over some porcelain tile. I’m loving the ones that are textured like linen and the wood-look. I’m planning to go to the Tile Shop this week!

    We need to do our bathroom so badley – it’s full of tiny blue and white mosaic tiles. That’s not so bad, except the shower only has about 5 feet 7 inches of clearance, so you need to be short to shower in it! I’d love to gut it and start over.

    I love linen look tiles and plain white subway tiles like you used in your bathroom project.

    I love tile more than I care to admit. Just today we are getting our fireplace surround titled in a cool rough cut tiny mosaic tile. Can’t wait to see the results! Now, if we happened to win a wet saw and tile gift card, well then my kitchen is no longer safe. I have BIG plans for that one. BIG. ;-)
