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 did half the baseboard tile trim when we remodeled our bathroom, with a borrowed tile saw, and then had to give it back! Guess what has (not) happened with the other half!

    TILE ME! :-) We have a DIY kitchen remodel in the works for spring (painting cabinets, removing PINK laminate countertops and backsplash and hubs is installing a gas line for a gas stove, whoot)…I’m dying for a tile backsplash! Not to mention we need to tile the main bath–it’s pink and black tile now, but has pink vinyl floor…not pretty. :-)

    Oh this would be a wonderful gift. My boyfriend and I are slowly but surely re-doing his Mother’s house and tiling is going to be a gigantic project. I absolutely love classic white subway tile. I’m also a sucker for anything kelly green, but it has to be subway tile.

    Tile me.

    I’d like to retile our kitchen. the previous owners did it themselves and they were not so keen on keeping grout lines conisistent. Some places have 3/4 to 1 inch grout line, while others have 1/4. and the floor slopes 2″ across a span of 10 feet since part of the kitchen used to be a sun porch when the house was built in the 1920s. Some simple leveling cement would have been all it took when they did it, but they didn’t bother. Some people just should not be DIYers, or at least should know when to call in professional help. I retiled my bathroom in my last house with no problems, but this job was apparently to big for them, or they just didn’t care what it looked like when they did it.
