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 have to admit, I am a sucker for a classic white subway tile. My little row-home was built in 1953, I am trying to keep at least the kitchen as retro as possible. This giftcard would 100% go to a new floor, the nasty peel/stick linoleum tiles just aren’t doing it for me :)

    “TILE ME!” The hubs and I are nearing the end of our kitchen remodel and the tile would be so great for our backsplash. We are hoping to go with the glass subway tile and something similiar. Merry Christmas!

    I am loving crisp white subway tile!!!! I have crazy salamon colored tiles in my bathroom and although I have finally found a paint color to tone down the fish I dream of a white bathroom with pops of color.

    Good luck moving today!!!

    I have tile floors in the living areas of my house that’s got the natural stone look, but I’d love a tile backsplash in my kitchen, maybe with subway tiles or those small mosaic tiles.

    i love subway tile in a shower. ever since i saw your bathroom reno i can’t stand in my shower without looking at the drywall above the tile line and dreaming of the day when it won’t be there. i also am weirdly obsessed with penny round tile. i saw it used in a kitchen on HGTV and i have been thinking of ways to put it in my house ever since.

    happy moving day! it’s snowing like crazy up here in pittsburgh – i hope you guys are having better moving weather!

    i’ve got both a kitchen and a bathroom redo in my future, so i think i’ll be tackling tiles soon.

    i’m leaning toward small square glass tiles for the kitchen backsplash and bigger rectangular grey slate tiles for the bathroom. so excited!
