Enter by February 10, 2010 to Win a Complete Bathroom Makeover
CHICAGO, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Rotting, moldy grout? A stained yellow porcelain sink? 70's style, big-bulb light fixtures? Pink tile from the 50's?
The search is on for Chicago's ugliest bathroom, and when it's found, the winning homeowner will win a complete bathroom makeover, valued up to $50,000, courtesy of The Tile Shop (www.tileshop.com), a leading retailer of high quality ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile from all over the world.
Conducted by the seven Tile Shop stores in greater Chicagoland (Deerfield, Lake Zurich, Lombard, Naperville, Schaumburg, Tinley and Countryside), The Tile Shop Ugly Bathroom Chicago Giveaway is being launched to draw attention to The Tile Shop's unique expertise in helping consumers make their dream bathrooms become a reality.

The grand prize winner of The Tile Shop Ugly Bathroom Giveaway will receive all materials necessary to create their dream bathroom, from the tub and shower to all of the fixtures and beautiful Tile Shop tile, along with the expert advice for a successful do-it-yourself remodel. The winning bathroom will be selected based on ugliest (in photos or video), the homeowner's story about their ugly bathroom and their dreams for a new bathroom, and the potential for transforming an ugly bathroom into a dream bathroom with Tile Shop products.
