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 would love to have a portrait of our cozy 1940’s cottage
Steven Russell says
Our mid-mod house was built to look like a ship, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and would make a terrific subject for Mr Musselman and his imagination! Visit our neglected blog at http://www.millermods.com.

Sheila Buschardt says
Our mid century mod plans was on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens in Sept 1959 . I would be lovely to have the vision, and the reality framed side by side.
Christa Boroskin says
Our 1968 custom-built home is perfectly suited to having it’s portrait made as it is one of a kind! : )
Chad says
The exterior of my house has marble steps, windowsills, and lintels and a fancy cornice. But it also has awnings and aluminum siding that I don’t like hiding all the best details.
