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.

    Harvest gold only looks good in a corn field. in indiana. in october. In a bathroom, harvest gold resembles Hepatitis. which is not a good look on anyone. ever. The opposite, of course, crisp white subway tiles with the long, dark brown tiles on the floor that resemble wood. and let’s be honest, who doesn’t look good in a crisp white shirt and equestrian boots?

    TILE ME!! We are getting ready to tile over our concrete floors as well as add a backsplash in the kitchen and laundry room. Who knows what else we could tile with this great prize! I love the glass mosaics, especially with a bit of bling in it – which is odd since I am usually a natural travertine kind of a gal!

    I am loving the neutral colored glass tiles for a back splash in our kitchen and a natural stone as a surround for our tub. I’d love to win this so we can make our HOME look less like the previous owner’s rental house. Our wedding is taking all our funds right now. =D

    The tile I’m into right now is marble subway tile. I’d love to use it for my kitchen backsplash, but can’t afford it. I could DEFINATELY afford it if I win the giveaway. I was planning on purchasing tile this weekend so I could get a jump on my backsplash once the holiday craziness died down…maybe I won’t have to!

    Thanks Tile Shop and YHL!

    I could totally use this. We moved into our new house in September and have been DIY remodeling ever since. Our bank account is totally feeling it. A new backsplash would make the kitchen amazing…Or maybe i’ll re-tile the bathroom… or maybe the back sunroom….anyway, TILE ME!

    We are a young couple who has had our kitchen renovation dreams on hold for what seems like forever… shiny white subway tile back splash is what I dream of at night as well and our guest bath that looks eerily similar to your bathroom (the before of course). Thanks for such a great give away!
