Ricky Rocks

This is one of the homes Ricky built in Fort Worth Texas.

Ricky is Abby’s mother-in-law’s brother.

He and his beautiful family is living here until they complete the home he is currently revamping.

Ricky is a very talented & successful builder who has never had to advertise.

The preceding photos will show you why.

This $6million+ home took a couple years to build.

Not only does Ricky build homes…he completely does all the decorating!

Every LITTLE thing that you see in these pictures was hand selected by Ricky.

The original home where the front door is was saved and added on to.

The 3 colored glass windows begin the new addition.

Foyer. Front door very unassuming.

Concrete pillars. Too die for.

Ricky always builds a home that you can see through=front to back from the front door.

Off the right in the foyer is this beautiful room.

The sofa tables were built by Ricky’s team from extra lumber and whitewashed like the beamed ceiling.

Check out the ceilings!

These 2 windows face a private courtyard.

Dining Room: Monochromatic masterpiece!

Ricky’s team built the table.

The little lilac hairclips on the orchids sparkled in the sunlight.

Colored glass windows are perfectly placed in few areas.

These float above the staircase.

The colored glass casts a rainbow on the walls.

Hallway to Master Suite.

Excuse me? Do I need to come over and perform CPR on you yet??

If not…come over and revive me!

Only other place with colored glass accents is in the Master Suite hallway.

Master Suite: Soothing.

Sophie is showing Abby the similarities between Catherine and Cinderella’s wedding on the computer.

Abby has one of Sophie’s bows in her hair. Everything IS bigger in Texas.

Window in Master.

Master Bath: Just one side.

It was too hard to take the whole thing. Which is a total bummer because if you saw it…you would be calling 911!

Master Bath: Window view to private courtyard.

Great Room: truly does the name justice!

This is a step down bar for entertaining.

Love all the lantern lights.

Kitchen table.

No pics of the kitchen. I was stupid!

Greatest ceiling in the Great room.

The detail is unreal. This is all reclaimed wood.

It was such a peaceful place even at 8,000 sq ft?? Sorry, I don’t have pictures of the upstairs or downstairs because I was just actually trying to enjoy it.

I hope you did too :)

Coming Next: The phenomenal outside of the House that Ricky Built.

I need CPR!! I may need a breathing mask to check out the backyard. The one table his workers built with the lights look straights out of a magazine. AND the hallway!! That's when I stopped breathing too mom.
