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.

I love the beautiful picture window on the front of my house!
Ashley says
I live in a beautiful 1955 Cliff May in Denver! It is my first house, and I love it and my neighborhood and my city. A piece of Christian’s art would be such a wonderful addition to my art and design collection, and a special memento of my first home.
Amy says
I love the brickwork on my front porch.
Thank you so much! Christian’s rendering of Kate’s ranch is beautiful!
JaniceW says
I love the coral and light green fake stone front on my house, and the breezeway connecting the garage and the house.
Erin says
I love my steel casements!
Kathy Castleberry says
OMG, I love my little 980 sq ft mid modest ranch. It was built in 1948 and I love it. I especially love it because we’ll have it paid off in about one year!! I love the coved ceiling in the living room and I love the built-in china cabinet in the kitchen. So many little things to love in my little house!
Kate Hudson says
I love my mid century rancher dearly. We bought it 2 years ago from the original owner. The home was relatively untouched, which was a bonus! However, this ongoing love story, like any relationship, is filled with hard work and a little bit of elbow grease. To see it immortalized forever would make me happy. The 93 year old former owner who lives in the retirement community down the street would love it as well!
Brandy says
I would like my gnomes and flamingos featured.
Jril says
I love the bold colors and textures on our 1954 house. The textured orange brick really pops with the shingle sided garage.
Jil Sonia McDonald says
How absolutely fantastic! And even better to allow Canadians to enter as well – thank you!
Being an interior designer, I’m always looking for a special gift to give my clients at the end of their project. A print showing their lovely new, renovated, or old home would be wonderful!
If I happened to win, I’d love to get a beautiful piece of art, showing the 1940s home I grew up in, in Vancouver. The home is still there, although as the prices here have skyrocketed, I couldn’t afford the $3 million the houses are now selling for.
This art would be a wonderful treasure for me!
