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.

Your art is absolutely beautiful and we would be thrilled to have our house as your muse! Our homes was custom built in 1951 (designed in ’49) by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. If we were chosen you’d be able to accent our geometric front door, giant 9 ft windows and the garage door with the row of glass panes. With our home only being 1100 Sq ft, it is very much a character home which we love!

I have my dream home in mind. Does that count?????

I just bought my 1958 dream house a little over a month ago. I love everything about it. How to choose what to emphasize!
Nacia Hatch says
This would be a fantastic anniversary gift for the hubby. We got married in our first home, a 1950’s brick craftsman, a little less than a year ago.
Karhryn says
Love how the portrait emphasizes the special features of the house. Would love to hang one in my space!
Susan Hall says
OMG!!! This would be so fantastic to showcase my 1911 home!
Melanie Een says
We love our 1952 ranch home. We are the second owners and bought it in original condition and intend to keep it that way.
Morgan G. says
This would be fabulous! I’d love to see what Christian would do with our quirky storm door and lamppost!
Dana says
My 1954 is ready for my photo op Mr. De Ville!

My 1961 house and I are a good fit. Now I’ve just got to add some landscaping.
