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! I love soo many different kinds of tile! I would love a shower lined in tiny glass tile, tho very expensive. But I love the more basic stuff, too, like white subway tile. I wonder if The Tile Shop carries Ann Sacks tile – seriously amazing, gorgeous stuff!

    My husband and I just bought our first home, and we’re trying to find ways to spruce up our cookie cutter home. Back splash is definitely one of those things on our list. I’m thinking stone, he’s thinking glass…I don’t know, but we’d sure love to win to get that project started!

    I’m currently loving the look of natural stone! Our kitchen is in need of some major re-tile work. The kitchen is about 50 years old and is sporting a mash up of old baby blue tiles a DIY project gone bad. We’d love an update!!

    We live in a 1930’s Cape Cod and the bathroom desperately needs a makeover. All of the tile is original. I’m trying to keep with the era and have my heart set on marble mosaic floors and clean, white subway tile for the walls. I have the whole thing done in my head and its so pretty… here’s hoping this is the break i need to get it done!

    I love glass tile in all it’s incarnations. Wanted glass subway for the kitchen backsplash but wife won that one and we will have white subway. She promised we will use it in the bathroom. Glass subway with 1×1 mosaic thrown used as an accent are as good as it get for me.
