Do You Know of a Really, Really Strange Home? Anywhere in North Texas?

Sarah Ivey at AMSPictures tells me they are looking for really weird homes. Here’s what she wrote:

“We are producing a new series for HGTV called, “Home Strange Home.” You may have seen the pilot late last year on the network. We are looking for really strange, odd homes. They can be strange in design, have strange stories attached to them, and we always want unusual homeowners. The home can be for sale. It just needs to be furnished and occupied. Call or email me if you have suggestions: Sara Ivey, 972-824-0702, sivey@amspictures.com”

Nice Nice, Baby: Vanilla Ice Transitions From Rap to Wrap

Good Lord, who is NOT into decorating these days? I swear I will not blink an eye if I hear the Pope has either started a chain of home design shops — heavy inventory on the gold, purple and red velvets — or appears on HGTV renovating a home in Italy. Now we learn 90′s rap star Vanilla Ice, who’s real name is Robert Van Winkle, and who grew up in Farmers Branch/Carrollton, is hosting a home improvement show. The show utilizes Winkle’s construction skills and he must be good — he’s renovated a 9,000 square foot home in Palm Beach. A Dallas couple won a $30,000 room makeover for their home and Vanilla, or rather, Robert, is the guy who showed up — in a Rolls Royce, no less, to get the project going. The couple, Sean and Erica Heatley, have a 2,000 square foot home valued at about $276,000 on Best Drive in North Dallas near Royal and Midway. The 1954-built structure needed some help, particularly in the pool house. And along came Ice Ice, baby.
