NEW YORK-( Business Wire )-

DIY Network, the go-to-destination for home improvement television, and Vanilla Ice, 90s pop icon, home remodeler and host of The Vanilla Ice Project, are giving two lucky viewers a rock star room renovation. From May 24 to July 2, homeowners can upload videos and photos to DIYNetwork.com telling Vanilla Ice why he should renovate a room in their house. The two winners of the “Ice My House” contest will each receive a $30,000 room makeover courtesy of Vanilla Ice and his crew. In addition, the transformation will be documented in two one-hour specials called, “VIP: Ice My House,” which will premiere in 2013.

“Twice is nice, man,” said Vanilla Ice when asked about this year’s DIY Network “Ice My House” contest. “I’m looking forward to sharing my passion for home improvement with two lucky homeowners this year, and taking their rooms from worst to first.”

Currently in production on the third season of The Vanilla Ice Project, rock star turned home improvement all-star Vanilla Ice and his crew are back for another season of 13 half-hour episodes of jaw-dropping renovations as they tackle a new, busted up Palm Beach area mansion. After his chart topping hit “Ice Ice Baby,” Vanilla Ice turned his focus to a new hobby – buying land and flipping houses. He’s renovated old homes and foreclosures, and taught himself the basics through hands-on experience and a lot of research. The first season of DIY Network’s The Vanilla Ice Project premiered to critical-acclaim in October 2010. The second season premiered in January 2012, and currently airs Sundays at 4 p.m. ET on DIY Network.
