Our team just got back from shooting Rock the Block in LA. We took the time to interview MJ, our interior designer for the show. You may have seen him on Small Space, Big Potential, and he will be in the coming seasons of Good Bones!
We can't wait to see what the houses look like! The show will air in October. We can't wait to watch it!
What exactly is Rock the Block?
Rock the Block is a competition between 4 of HGTV’s top designers. They took 4 identical houses and each star made it their own. They included their contractors, design teams, demo teams and the stars of HGTV themselves. Mina from Good Bones, Allison from Windy City Rehab, Jasmine from Hidden Potential and Leanna from Restored by the Fords were the designers and stars of the show.
Without giving anything away, can you tell us your favorite part?
It was amazing to see that many awesome and talented people together, that was the best part.
We saw you got to meet some fun HGTV stars. What were they like?
We got to hang out and spend time with all of our HGTV friends. Steve Ford is my favorite person on earth. I never thought we would be fast friends. He is the funniest.
Allison Victoria is a sassy boss. I can't wait to work with her again!
Leanna Ford was really forthcoming with tips and tricks about where to buy furniture. Everyone was really welcoming and encouraging through the whole process of the show. We got to meet a lot of new HGTV faces, which was amazing.
What was the biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge was having to find new spots to shop. Some of the places that I went to didn't have price tags, those shops tended to be expensive. I loved every single piece of furniture. Everything was just so minimal and really well selected. The people who buy for these stores know what is good, so their sales floor will be empty except exactly what they think people are looking for.
Can you tell us anything about the house?
I really love what we did with the house. We don't usually get to do fireplaces, but in this house we did two. That's all I can tell you, I don't want to spoil too much!
Where did you go when you were in LA?
I went to Beverly hills, West Hollywood, and Venice Beach. I loved Venice Beach. There’s a really cute place there called Rooster Fish. I introduced Cory to sparkling Rose and now he can’t get enough.
Slightly off topic for this thread, but I have been trying to pin down the exact table setup rules for the card game Kasino because different groups I play with disagree on the details. The version I ended up with uses a standard 52 card deck with jokers removed, two to four participants, four cards dealt to each hand and four laid face up in the middle. Play starts to the dealer's left, and once hands are exhausted everyone gets four new cards, with no additional table cards added between deals. Reference I used was https://aretssosent.no/hvordan-spille-casino-kortspill, mainly because the sequencing is written out in order there, though the page is thin on scoring variants and edge cases. One rule worth…
That sounds like an exciting shoot—Rock the Block in LA is a big deal! For a change of pace after filming, futbol-libre.com.co is a fantastic site to catch live soccer streams and unwind. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy some thrilling action. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Spent some time looking into how mobile billing payments work in practice. The process itself is fairly straightforward from a technical standpoint. Funds get routed through the carrier rather than a separate payment processor, which removes one layer of potential friction. I found a reasonably detailed breakdown of how this works at sirumobilecasino.no covering the core mechanics without much fluff. The transaction flow seems consistent with what other carrier billing systems offer. Speed depends largely on your network provider. Security standards appear to follow standard industry protocols, though I would not take any single source at face value. Worth noting that operator billing has its own set of limitations depending on region. As with anything involving financial transactions, read the fine…
Reading about the designers shopping in LA stores without price tags-that's the real challenge, not a wordle game! I can imagine the pressure, just like when I'm scrolling through decor ideas during my coffee break and can't decide.
Great post! Everything was explained clearly and made the topic easy to understand. Thanks for sharing. skins for truck simulator ultimate
