Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway for a house portrait drawn by artist Stephen Walker. I really enjoyed reading your comments about the houses you’d choose and why. Here’s one that made me smile (you can see the rest here):
“After moving 5 times in 4 years, I am so happy to say that we are finally settled. I knew this was our forever home when my 2-year old said to me, ‘This is our house. This is where we growed up. This is where we eat chocolate.’” -Lou Ann
There were so many wonderful comments that I wish I could give every one of you a house portrait by Stephen! He is making it easier for my readers, though, by offering:
- 10% off your house portrait
- Free shipping
Just be sure to tell him you came from Hooked on Houses to get the discount. These are all samples of his work, and you can see more–including the portrait he drew of my house, at Walker Studio. Thanks, Stephen!
And the Winner is…Genna! Congratulations!

Chocolate, chocolate, did someone say chocolate?? Yum, I’ve never( nor will I ever) outgrow my love of chocolate!!
P.S. It’s a good thing your readers can’t get a hold of Lou Ann’s boy because he’d be smooched to smithereens!

Thanks for the discount! We’re building a house and we will be moving out of the first house we lived in together. It’s also the house where we brought our 3 babies home from the hospital. We would love to have a portrait of our old home in the new house!
Those are so pretty! I can’t wait to own my first home. No sense in getting a gorgeous drawing of a rental…

Stephen’s house portraits are beautiful. What a great keepsake of a home that you live (or lived) in and love

Unfortunately, he gets his sweet tooth from me!
Thanks so much for the mention and for the opportunity to enter, Julia! But for this contest, I probably never would have written all that down, and now I have something to go back to if I ever do get the itch to move again! We have an anniversary coming up, and it might be a good time to use that discount! Thanks again, and keep up the good work! Lou Ann
