Ricky Rocks 2

Part II: Outside views of the Fort Worth home Ricky built.

 

Front Door View. All garden pots are on an irrigation system.

No green thumb necessary.

While at the front door…

an open window to the private courtyard is placed at the end of the porch.

Perfectly centered within the window are the fountain’s two spigots.

Can you see them? Look hard!

The tranquil sound of running water is the first to greet you.

This cozy courtyard bridges the old home to the new Master Suite.

 

The mature tree takes precedence in the design.

Notice the roof was cut out to accomodate the tree.

These two windows are in the Master Bath

The home’s many details.

The portico off the great room.

It was a Graduation/First Communion celebration.

Landry is being held by his Great Grandma Rose (Suzi’s mom). Side note: she is 80! And looks very young.

Landry’s Mimi is feeding him. The guy in the orange shorts is Uncle Keith who is on Ricky’s team. He was my personal tour guide.

Now…the Pool…to catch your drool.

 

The topography of the backyard was completely changed to achieve this level land.

Stairs to lower level.

Guest Room patio; at the bottom of the stairs.

Magnolia lined drive.

Espalier magnolias.

Have you ever heard of them before? Me neither.

These are the dining room windows.

Ricky rocks, huh?

I knew you’d love it :)
