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.

Yes please. Nothing special about my house. MCWC (working class) ’50s builder ranch. But it was my grandparents’. Thanks!

My favs — the bucking Bronco on my screen door and my aqua front door.
Heidi Swank says
My favorite feature of my Cinderella Ranch is the long sloping eaves. But the original front door is pretty cool, too. And then there are the original muntin windows in the kitchen…. How to choose?

My favorite detail of my 1956 mid-century modern house is the bow window in front made of individual glass panes separated by large wooden trim pieces. When I bought the house, their seals were compromised, and they were fogged between the layers of glass. I had a local glass company replace each of them with Thermopane. I did not want to lose the 1950s style of the windows.
Kathy in San Leandro says
Although I like my house it’s not nearly as architecturally interesting as my parents’ 1929 Tudor. My mother loves her house, so I would ask Christian to make her a portrait.
I really like his Art Deco facades, too.

The clean lines of the house.
Vee says
My sister and I just bought a post-war bungalow in Florida. It’s white and pink stucco with aqua doors, the original windows, palm trees in front and tons of midcentury tropical charm.
Stephanie Waldo says
I’m actually living in a 70’s traditional without a lot of great features, but what I LOVE is how he got your dog in the window. For us it would have to be our four cats who are the permanent fixture!
Jennie Condra says
I’d love one!
Jill says
I love my 1200sq ft mid century home built in 1950. It has a small porch with a small round window above the mailbox which I call the Porthole. We have a long driveway that comes next to the house with a carport where we park our 1950 Ford Custom car. The front of the home is framed by two full grown pecan trees. It is the perfect size home for us starting our marriage together. We plan to keep this house and eventually retire in it someday. This home will shelter our bodies as we age, and capture our memories through the years. I would love to win and preserve our home in this very unique way. 🙂
