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.
It sounds like a blast filming in LA! It’s so cool that MJ got to work with such a talented group and even became 'fast friends' with Steve Ford. Fireplaces are such a great addition to any home, so having two in one house must look amazing—can’t wait to see the final reveal in October! This squido is so helpful.
Found this during a late-night scroll through orthopedics discussions. I liked the straightforward tone-stem cell therapy explained without hype, covering recovery expectations and possible outcomes for meniscus tears. Reading it felt reassuring, like someone was giving practical advice rather than marketing copy.

The recap of Rock the Block was thorough and entertaining. Your explanations made it easy for readers to visualize the events and key highlights. I also came across a review blog that shared an interesting take on the same event. In a related vein, https://www.rosedalewellness.com/ often discusses personal achievement and well-being, which aligns surprisingly well with the positive energy of these events.
This post was a delight to read! Your way of connecting luxury cars with the lifestyle of dog owners was both entertaining and insightful. I recently came across a similar discussion on a lifestyle review blog that shared comparable anecdotes. It also reminded me of some practical tips I saw from https://thesagelawgroup.ca/ about navigating contracts and insurance considerations, which adds another layer of relevance for readers who appreciate attention to detail.
