Ep 6. Living Room Rescue

The Vanilla Ice Project: Season 1 Episode 6 - Living Room Rescue

In this episode of The Vanilla Ice Project, Vanilla Ice, also known as Rob Van Winkle, and his crew take on a new challenge as they try to transform a large living room in a modern and elegant space.

The episode starts with Vanilla Ice meeting up with the homeowners, a young couple who have just bought this house in Palm Beach, Florida. The couple gives Vanilla Ice a tour of the house, and he immediately notices that the living room is the biggest space in the house, but it's not being utilized properly. Vanilla Ice points out that the living room has great potential and is the perfect place to entertain guests, but it needs some work. The couple agrees, and Vanilla Ice and his team get to work.

The first challenge for the crew is how to make the large space feel more intimate and cozy. Vanilla Ice suggests creating different areas in the living room, such as a sitting area, a bar, and a game area. The crew gets to work, and they start by installing a beautiful hardwood floor throughout the entire living room. They then create a large sitting area by adding a sectional leather sofa, a beautiful rug, and a few chairs.

Next, they build a custom bar to add a touch of elegance to the room. The bar is made of black granite, and it has a built-in mini-fridge, wine fridge, and sink. The crew then focuses on the game area by installing a pool table and a dartboard. They also add a custom-built bookshelf where the homeowners can display their collection of books and other memorabilia.

The living room also had a large brick fireplace that Vanilla Ice and his team thought would be great to enhance. They remove the brick and install a beautiful stone veneer that gives the room a sophisticated look. They also install a custom-built mantel that adds a rustic touch to the living room.

To complete the look, the crew adds custom-built shelves and lighting fixtures to highlight some of the homeowners' favorite artwork and other decorations. They also add some plants and greenery to brighten up the room.

In the end, the living room is transformed into a beautiful space that the homeowners can be proud of. They now have different areas where they can entertain, relax and play games while still feeling cozy and comfortable. Vanilla Ice and his team accomplished the challenge of creating a large, open space to feel more intimate and warm by cleverly dividing the activities into zones and using appropriate lighting and textures in each zone.

Overall, this episode of The Vanilla Ice Project is a great example of how Vanilla Ice and his team take on big challenges when it comes to renovating a home. They use their expertise to identify the potential of each home and transform it into a beautiful and functional space that homeowners can enjoy for years to come.
