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 the hip roof of my MCM, with its overhanging eaves and horizontal lines. I would love to have that captured in a house portrait.

Pick me pick me!

We love the aqua color (which took way too much deliberation to pick out) and the slanted accent poles around the porch. It also has huge front windows that are perfect for cats. 😉

Very lovely, I really like his retro style of recreation

My mid-century modest in Houston, TX was originally featured in the 1956 Better Homes and Gardens Parade of Homes as the Tex-O-Rama. What’s more mid-century than a house with an official name that has o-rama in it? I’ve wanted a mod front-elevation to hang to connect the house to its beginnings. 🙂

Just love those portraits and this site!!
Sharon Potts says
We have lived in a 1925 bungalow for the last 30 years. Just finished painting the bathroom that hasn’t been updated since the 80s! Would love a portrait of our humble abode even if it isn’t mid mod!
Maria says
I love my American Foursquare home! The big windows, the tan, white, maroon and black color combo and the beautiful front porch that we use all the time in the summer!

What I love about Christian’s Portraits is the Retro reality of it. It is way cool. What I love about the outside of my home is the Retroness of it – I live in a triple wide in Arizona and the outside has these large rings on the porch made of railings. It is nearly 40 years old and is just so beautiful to me. Everyone else seems to be stuccoing the outside but I love my Siding and the Unique Circle Patterns off the porch. A super neat home!! I love my home, which I call “Sanctuary”…

I love the stone on the front of my house, the front door, the trim color. We finally have the outside of our house looking just how we want it and would love to have a portrait of it. Thank you.
