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.

We have a 1938 that’s been wreckovated. The custom portrait of the house would be cool, but I would rather have it done after we uncover whatever they covered up with the Al siding. Everyone say a prayer the wood underneath is good!
John Walsh says
My current home is not mid century … It’s more of a endearing Spanish bungalow but I love it and it makes me smile whenever I see its facade. I’ve had a crappy year and a Musselman portrait would be just the ticket for my little diamond in the rough
Barbara says
We live in a 1960 split that is more mid century modest than mid mod, but we love it.

I would love a portrait of our 1953 L-shaped brick ranch 🙂
pattie taylor brown says
Our 1948 Ranch (and gardens) are all the buzz in the neighborhood. Would love a commemorative portrait!
Michelle says
A house portrait by Christian Musselman would send us over the moon–what a way to showcase our 1955 lannon stone ranch home!
Jen says
We’re just about to close escrow on a beautiful 1964 mid-century in LA that looks like it was airlifted from Palm Springs. It’s screaming for a Musselman portrait with its turquoise paint and white breeze block!
Leslie says
I am living in the house my parents bought in 1963. I would love to win the house portrait from Christian Musselman. I could even provide images of the house from 1963 through 2016! Very little has changed with the exception of landscaping – from green lawn to xeriscape, been conserving water in the desert for 16 years now! Please pick me Mr. “Random Number Generator”!

I like the ivy growing up around my shutters on our front window

I would love to see the wonderful Florida accents brought out. My wonderful seahorses and brick work. Even my great beaded curtains in the window I found through this site.
