Congratulations to our winner Melissa, whose number came up when we spun the random. Thanks to everyone who entered — your comments were wonderful!!!! ENTRIES NOW CLOSED. And thanks to Christian Musselman for providing the giveaway prize!
Yesterday, Kate took you through the process of working with super-talented designer Christian Musselman to create a custom house portrait of her home. It turned out fabulously! Now, Christian is working with us to deliver a one-two punch by offering one lucky reader the chance to work with him to design a custom house portrait of their house. Continue reading to learn how to enter.

I love my front door! It’s a 1968 original 41″ wide beauty with three space age portal windows right down the middle!

My house is pretty nondescript, so I think I’d ask Christian to do my grandparents’ house instead – a little white bungalow with green trim, which my grandad built before they married in 1925. It has a screened in porch out front where we spent endless hours in the swing. Grandma always had all sorts of flowers growing around it. One pic we have shows my dad on a pony next to the house (I assume the pony was rented for a party). Maybe Christian could include dad & the pony, as he did Kate’s dog? It’s been more than 30 years since the last family member left that house, but for some reason I still see it in my dreams all the time. (Don’t worry Christian, it’s still standing, so I could provide contemporary pics.)

Love this site… I have a 1953 built little bungalow… love mid century as it is my birthdate too… LOL!

How exciting! My wife and I purchased our MCM house almost two years ago. I should say we rescued it after being vacant for several years! We are just about ready to move in and a portrait of the exterior would be icing on the cake!

I’d love the portrait treatment for my 1964 home’s screen block and stone fascia.
Taylor Moorhead says
I love everything about our 1950 bungalow. It’s our first home and I would be so excited to have a custom portrait of it.
Sue Wirsch says
So great to see new developments going for unique rather than boring! Looking forward to a follow up story when finished!

Frank Lloyd Wright said ….The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
My wife Ellie and I live in a beautiful mid-century modern home that’s made predominately of Belgium block and glass and sits on 1.5 wooded acres.
From the moment we approached the property and saw a white tail deer looking back at us from the center island in the driveway, we had an immediate soul mate in this house.
Homes are where important things happen and ours is not only a showplace from an architectural perspective but also the heart and soul of our existence.
Every day and each event spent here underscores our attraction to this place we call home.
