Ep 3. Living In Style

In season 3, episode 3 of The Vanilla Ice Project titled "Living In Style," the transformation of a rundown property in Palm Beach, Florida continues under the guidance of home renovation expert and rapper, Vanilla Ice. With the help of his team, the focus shifts to the interior of the property where they add both functional and aesthetically pleasing upgrades.

The episode begins with Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle, surveying the progress made so far on the property. He notes the need to shift the focus inside, acknowledging that "the living room, dining room, and kitchen have to really flow together to pull off the ultimate party house."

The first order of business is adding stained glass windows to the front door, which compliments the stylish and contemporary vibe of the house. Next, the team installs porcelain tiles throughout the ground floor. The tiles have a marbling effect that adds depth to the space, and the team notes that they are both functional and high-end.

Upstairs, Vanessa and Wes tackle the bedrooms, starting with the master suite. They replace the old closet doors with modern accordion doors, which have a sleek and clean look. They also install a chandelier, which Vanessa declares "brings sex and romance to the room." They add a unique touch by installing 3D artwork above the bed that provides a focal point for the room.

Next, Vanilla Ice and the team focus on the guest room. They install shiplap walls, a feature that has become very popular in interior design in recent years. They also add a painted wood accent wall that provides a pop of color to the room and set it apart from the other rooms in the house.

Meanwhile, the team gets to work on the kitchen. The cabinets and countertops are replaced with high-end materials, and the existing island is replaced with a larger one that provides more counter space. The team notes that the open floor plan and stainless steel appliances make it perfect for entertaining.

One of the challenges of this episode is the living room, which Vanilla Ice notes is "one of the most important rooms in the house." He explains that "it's where you're going to entertain guests, it's where you're going to snuggle up with your family, it's where you're going to watch movies." To make the room functional and inviting, the team adds a fireplace, which Vanessa notes will be "the jewel of the room."

Vanilla Ice also adds a unique touch to the living room, installing a custom mosaic on the wall behind the new fireplace. The mosaic features a street scene and a Van Gogh-inspired starry sky. He notes that the mosaic serves as a conversation piece, adding a personal touch to the living room.

Finally, the team adds finishing touches throughout the house, including artwork, decorations, and furnishings. Vanilla Ice notes that "all the little details really bring the house to life." The end result is a stunning home that blends contemporary style with functionality, perfect for those who love to entertain.

Overall, season 3, episode 3 of The Vanilla Ice Project provides a great example of what can be accomplished through a renovation of a rundown property. The team's attention to detail and focus on both functionality and style is sure to make this house a hit with potential buyers.
