Over the past few years, we’ve partnered with Vanilla Ice for his home improvement show on DIY Network, The Vanilla Ice Project – this year was the best yet!

From intracoastal views to over-the-top play areas for the kids, there wasn’t a single thing Ice didn’t touch in this magnificent home renovation.

Seafaring Beauty

Right from the start, you know you are in for a treat. From grand outdoor entrances to bold interiors, this estate flaunts regal elegance with extraordinary style and enticing twists.

Abundant in texture with a Mediterranean flair and definitive whimsical elements, the alluring design scheme excites the imagination.

The main entrance blends opulence and adventure with dramatic architecture reminiscent of the grand ships of seafaring buccaneers.

Outdoor fixtures feature traditional style and intricate detail with elongated lanterns finished in dark bronze.  “Walking the plank” to the backyard leads to a whimsical paradisiacal playground equipped with a true-to-life pirate ship–tantalizing and inviting.

Ahoy mattes!

A Bounty of Adventure

Searching for more than gold dust and artifacts?

This home is a fantasy for the sophisticated adult, filled with hidden treasures and accents of gold, heavy wood moldings, bold mirrored casings and marbled columns.  Archways are finely crafted; walls are laden with textured stone; and, wood flooring is rich and rugged. There is nothing delicate and dainty about this estate, but the elements come together in a way that is serene and fantastic.

Parts are aligned in perfect proportion — big decorative mirrors are paired with streamlined furnishings; heavily detailed wood ceilings are paired with cascades of fine crystal; and chunky stonewalls are paired with floral and feminine wall coverings.

Traditional décor highlighted with artistic nuances and rustic charm boost this design scheme.

From Ship to Shore

Elements of surprise blend seamlessly with the décor. Foyer and living room fixtures are exquisite, featuring cascading crystal showering down flush from the ceiling.

The Mimi pendant in the dining room leaves a lasting impression. This polished chrome and Cognac glass composition features a bouquet of hand-formed flowers in LED illumination. Clearly, a unifying focal point of the dining room, the gold tones and vibrant tendrils in this chandelier accentuate textures and hues in the décor.
