Ep 6. Working Out The Foyer

The Vanilla Ice Project follows rapper turned home, renovation expert, Vanilla Ice (aka Rob Van Winkle) as he revamps a rundown building in Palm Beach, Florida into a luxurious mansion. In season 8, episode 6 titled "Working Out The Foyer," Vanilla Ice and his team of experts tackle the challenge of transforming the foyer into a grand entrance that sets the tone for the rest of the home.

The episode begins with Vanilla Ice and his head designer, Krista Watterworth, discussing their plans for the foyer. Vanilla Ice wants a luxurious and elegant space that will wow guests as soon as they enter the home. Krista suggests adding a two-tiered chandelier and a statement staircase to create a grand focal point. Vanilla Ice loves the idea and the team gets to work.

The first task is to remove the existing staircase and start building the new one. The team member, Jeremy, is in charge of this task and he quickly gets to work assessing the space and taking measurements. Vanilla Ice also wants to add some unique touches to the foyer, so he decides to create a custom wall feature using reclaimed wood. He enlists a local craftsman to help him create the feature and together they come up with a beautiful design.

While the custom wall is being created, the team works on installing the new staircase. Vanilla Ice wants to make this staircase a showstopper, so he decides to use glass railings and LED lights to create a modern and sleek look. The team works hard to get the staircase installed before moving on to the next phase of the project.

Next up is the chandelier installation. The team has chosen a stunning crystal chandelier that will serve as a centerpiece of the foyer. However, the installation proves to be more difficult than expected. The team has to rewire the entire foyer to accommodate the weight of the chandelier, which requires more assistance from additional electricians. It takes a few days but the team finally gets the chandelier installed, and it looks absolutely spectacular.

Finally, it's time to add the finishing touches to the foyer. Vanilla Ice selects a sleek and modern console table to compliment the staircase, and Krista picks out a stunning area rug to tie the room together. The last thing to do is to add the custom wall feature, which is a beautiful addition to the room. The wood brings a warm and inviting feeling to the otherwise modern space.

As the episode comes to a close, Vanilla Ice and Krista are thrilled with the finished product. The foyer is now a grand entrance that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The team has pulled off another successful renovation, and Vanilla Ice can't wait to show it off to his friends and family.

Overall, season 8, episode 6 of The Vanilla Ice Project is a great example of the hard work and dedication that goes into renovating a home. The team faced challenges along the way, but they worked together to overcome them and create a beautiful space that exceeded all expectations. Vanilla Ice continues to impress with his eye for design and his ability to bring the vision to life.
