Best known for his 90s music, pop-icon Vanilla Ice also brings more than 15 years of home improvement experience to this 7,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion. In each episode of DIY Network’s The Vanilla Ice Project, Vanilla Ice (a.k.a. Robert Van Winkle) and his crew of contractors get down to business and renovate a different room of the home. He’ll pound nails and call the shots in this room-by-room renovation.
101: Nice, Nice Landscaping
It’s all about curb appeal as Vanilla Ice and his construction crew tears out dead plants and tackles the landscaping. They need to make this house look like a million dollars – from the outside. A rock concert lighting expert stops by to help install exterior lighting, which uses a new LED system and draws hardly any power.
102: Party Pool
Vanilla Ice and his team give the backyard a facelift. He takes matters into his own hands and blasts out the dilapidated pool, puts down a sweet patio and installs some unexpected, but killer features like Tiki torches and a fire bowl.
103: The Master Sweet

107: Rock Star Garage
Vanilla Ice and his crew transform the garage from an unfinished and poorly-conceived screening room into a tricked-out haven for car enthusiasts. Watch and learn as they rip down the walls, lay down a high tech race floor, throw up some fresh diamond plate, faux paint the busted doors, and bling it all out in outrageous Ferrari colors.
108: High-Tech and Hidden

110: “Rapping” It Up
Vanilla Ice and his crew race to finish renovating the mansion. They bring in a staging expert and come up with a design philosophy that will help sell the house, while Joey and the construction crew finish off the last minute items in time for the big revea
