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.

Darryl Wingard says
That would be a nice addition to our 1953 Mid-Century Modest home!
Brian Landreville says
I love my 1937 Cape Cod with center fireplace covered with a climbing hydranga. It was built by the original owner with his father. I am the second owner having bought it from his estate in 2002. I have done my best to restore it to all it’s 1937 glory.
Amanda says
How wonderful! I hope my garden is emphasized.
Julie Downes says
Would love the opportunity to have Christian capture the beauty of my late mid-mod home…the lines of architecture leading up to my front door, which has its own covered walkway made from the large eaves, are phenomenal. I’ve intended to draw it myself for the whole 5 years I’ve lived here and never ‘taken’ the time to do so. Perhaps if I don’t win, it’ll give me the incentive I need to get started 🙂
Kathleen says
That would be marvelous to have a custom portrait of our home. We purchased it 50-yrs ago March 1966.
Jenn Stebbings says
What a fun opportunity to see what my 1959 ranch would look like Musselman-ized!
Robin Greene says
I’d love to win a portrait of my newly purchased 1952 home! I’m renovating and just completed ‘saving my pink bathroom’ with the help of Pam & Kate!
Krista Franklin says
Would love the front elevation of my 1955 split level. It has hand laid stacked stone planters, a hand laid flagstone porch and a big tree shading the sidewalk. I love it. Wouldn’t mind getting my 60+ year old, monster apricot tree immortalized either. The house was sited to get the best view of that tree.
Carolyn says
My 1968 deckhouse complete with carport in the woods. I would love a portrait of it minus the kids’ toys that are constantly in the yard and carport!
Roseann says
I love my 1947 Better Homes & Gardens Five Star Home (#1111). As the description says, “it’s small but roomily planned”, so emphasize it all!
