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.
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?
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?

TILE ME!
I can’t decide between updating the kitchen or the bath. The bath is lovely, but horrible peachy color and the kitchen was poorly redone with the cheapest stuff the could get from Ikea. Which done well would look fine, but as it is…
Katy says
TILE ME!

Alyson says
Tile me!
Last year (September 2009) we started cutting into our concrete basement floor, and ended up with a corner carved out of our great room, and a 3/4 bath where there had never been one. Best upgrade ever. We did the tile floor ourselves, with many tears and sighs. About 10 hours after that bathroom was done, we started ripping apart our master bathroom; we ended up tiling the master bath, the laundry room, and building/tiling a new shower. We got done just as we were ringing in 2010.
We have one more bathroom, the main bath, the one that most of the kids and all the guests use. But we’ve run out of money *teardrops*. We were supposed to do it at the same time, but we can’t afford the shower tile. (We have the floor tile.) And we can’t afford a saw rental, not right now. So this would be a huge, huge boon for us—and for our ugly bathroom, and for our beautiful children.
I’ve had a year to be tiling and decorating that bathroom in my head, over and over. I really want to go with glass mosaic tiles in there, I think—I love the way they reflect the light. So please, Tile me!
Katie B. says
TILE ME! My boyfriend and I are planning a cross-country move in the next few months (Florida to Alaska!!!!) and would LOVE to be able to take some tiling supplies with us! We already have a possible house, and it needs some major remodeling. I’m really admiring the Creme Mosaic backsplash, and that would be awesome is a rustic kitchen :)
Christy G. says
Tile Me!
Sabrina says
TILE ME!!!
LOVE the subway tiles… might take a year for me just to pick a color scheme though :) There are so many color pallets I’m diggin’ right now.
kathleen says
TILE ME!
I’m in love with the soft tones of small glass tiles especially for kitchen back splashes. Yum!
Happy moving!
Renee says
TILE ME!!!
I am dreaming of tiling our entire bathroom, walls and all. A combination of larger subway tiles in the shower and smaller on the walls, with a tile “border” of glass tiles on the walls in between the white subway. LOVE!
Tracy H says
Tile me! Dreaming of white subway tile in our kitchen. That’d be the icing on the cake for our kitchen redo.
Shantel Peaden says
TILE ME! Oh, please, please tile me!
