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.

    This would actually be the best christmas gift EVER! We started renovating our home one year ago and we have our kitchen pretty much complete except for the backsplash! We’ve started to look for options and right now we’re leaning towards the white subway tile look. We currently have white kitchen cabinets with a pretty busy granite for the countertops!

    THANK YOU!

TILE ME. we are about to have to do a full out renovation in there due to some (read: lots) of water damage we were not aware of. i’m a fan of the mocha marble tile you guys put in your bathroom, and would love to get something along those lines put in, with some khaki colored accents!

    I am also dreaming of a new bathroom. Our bathroom was built in ’63 and we have 4 different for pink – one for the wall tile (yep!), floor tile, bathtub and shower surround.

    I am in love with sea glass green tile in a bathroom. Please tile me!

    I am loving the 1×1 mosaics we are about to start installing on our kitchen backsplash. They have a wonder amber color to them!

    We have a master bathroom next on the remodel list and this wet saw would make cutting tiles 100% easier, the hand tool just does NOT cut it. My husbands poor hands.

    I love tile…I learned to tile when we were getting ready to sell our house last spring and now I can’t wait to do more.

    I am a classic subway tile kind of girl, but I do also love a nice natural pebble floor tile for in the shower (although I am not sure how much fun it would be to clean…)

    Good luck with the move! It really isn’t all that bad. We moved last spring and were organized like you (complete with fridge list) and were all settled in within 48 hours.

    We’re looking at two bathroom updates and a kitchen renovation…and some great tile would be amazing for those rooms! I have so many ideas, but I’m loving a tile pattern I saw in a friend’s shower: different sized square tiles, all different colors of browns/blues…very modern, very fun!
