00:02Ew. Is this supposed to be our dorm room for this year?
00:08Hey, wait a second. What's this? Look what's over here.
00:12Here, hold my guitar for me while I grab this.
00:16I do love a heavy sledgehammer. Time to get smashing!
00:19I'm gonna make this the best dorm room ever. You'll see.
00:23No! What are you doing? You're smashing a hole in the wall!
00:26I know, isn't it great? Check out all this extra room we could have!
00:31Wow, that's amazing! Alright, I want to try the sledgehammer too.
00:35Yeah, swing it super hard! Excellent!
00:38Okay, that's big enough. I'm gonna crawl through.
00:41Hurry up, because I'm coming through next.
00:43This space is way better than that other space, right?
00:48Wow. I'm so excited that we can make this space our own!
00:54Hello? Yes, I need a designer for a new space I have.
00:58Okay, don't worry. She said he'll be here shortly.
01:01Oh, there he is! Alright, we need this space to be absolutely perfect.
01:05Hmm, yes, I see. This space is indeed a blank canvas to work on.
01:09Okay, here's my design. What do you think?
01:11Oh my gosh, yes! It's absolutely perfect!
01:14No way! That's not at all what we need.
01:17Oh, I see. Well, I've got some other designs as well for you to look at.
01:21No, I hate blue. It's too sad.
01:24Alright, how about something more citrus?
01:27Um, I mean, I guess that's okay?
01:30Yeah, we'll go with that. Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be fine.
01:33Perfect. The total bill for the project will be… this much.
01:37We definitely can't afford that. Or maybe…
01:39That's not in our budget.
01:41No! Well, art isn't cheap, my dears. So long.
01:45Whatever. We can handle this ourselves. Come on!
01:48See? Now this is more within our budget.
01:51I mean, I guess so. There is a lot of stuff here.
01:54Trust me. You just have to have a keen eye for the right thing.
01:57Like maybe that bust. Or that lantern.
02:01Oh, right there!
02:03That's what we need. Hand over some of the money.
02:05Geez, alright, fine.
02:07Here you go, miss. Our money.
02:09Ahem, is this a joke? This isn't nearly enough to pay for what you want.
02:12Um, we need more money.
02:15Ugh. Okay, fine. Here's the rest of our cash.
02:18That should be enough.
02:19Here you go. Thank you so much for everything!
02:21Hey, what the…
02:23Did we just buy the whole shelving unit?
02:26Huh. Seems like.
02:27Oh, and don't forget your other purchase.
02:29Oh, right. Thanks again and have a great rest of the day!
02:32Hey look! I've got the little mattress we purchased!
02:35Great. Now go ahead and unroll it.
02:37Oh, right. Okay. Here it goes.
02:38It's nice! Let me put a blanket on it.
02:41I've got this yellow one right here.
02:43There we go. Nice and cozy.
02:45But I'm not done.
02:46I'm gonna need this glue gun for the next step.
02:48I'm gonna add a line of glue under the mattress.
02:50Just a bit like this around the corner.
02:52Now it's ready for the blanket.
02:54This will hold it in place.
02:55What do you think? Doesn't it look nice and comfy?
02:58Wow, good job.
02:59I'm actually impressed.
03:01But now it's my turn.
03:02You might want to move, because I have more shelves to arrange.
03:05Ready? Because here's the next one.
03:07And the last one.
03:09Whoa! Lost my balance there for a second.
03:12Oh, right. A top. Or base. Depending.
03:14Ooh, all right. Time for me to add some of my things.
03:17Just gonna crawl right in.
03:20I've got all my pillows for up here, too.
03:22Can't forget my flamingo light. It makes things so bright.
03:26And then some of my favorite books in this nook over here.
03:29Can't forget my little plants.
03:30They just make me happy.
03:33Gotta make sure these pillows are all nice and fluffy.
03:36Hey, I think we're done with the whole thing.
03:38What a cozy and comfy little private space we made!
03:42It's great!
03:49All right, let me put away my vintage record collection.
03:52Huh. No room in this cubby.
03:54Or in this one.
03:56Ugh. She's filled all these cubbies already!
03:58She's hogging all of the storage space and that's not fair!
04:05Well, what am I gonna do now?
04:07There's more room, of course. But no more shelves.
04:10Well, let me check out what's back in the old room.
04:13Maybe there's something around here that I can use.
04:16Huh. Is that a pile of old VHS tapes?
04:19Hey, I think I've got an idea.
04:21Yep. I'm definitely gonna give this a try.
04:24Come with me, tapes!
04:26You're obsolete, but I know a way to make you useful once more!
04:30Whoa. Better set these down.
04:32Ooh, okay. There's some glue right there.
04:35This is just what I need.
04:36I'll just put some glue right on the end of this tape.
04:38Now to put it where I want it to go.
04:40On another tape.
04:41Now to build a structure out of the tapes and the glue.
04:44I can't believe that people used to use these to watch movies and stuff.
04:47Phew!
04:48And now I finally have a shelving unit I can use for my things, too.
04:52Mirrorball is a check.
04:53Now for my records.
04:55Perfect!
04:55I can also store my checkers and chessboard here, too.
04:58And my own lamp to illuminate the space.
05:01Yes! I'm so proud of what I've accomplished!
05:04Look at that!
05:05Now all my stuff have their own space.
05:11Hmm. This room seems like it's missing a little something, though.
05:14Time to add some wall hangings and posters.
05:16There's one.
05:18And two.
05:19And how about a third one?
05:21A nice spooky sky with bats.
05:23Just the way I like it.
05:24This place is really starting to come together if I say so myself.
05:28I absolutely love it.
05:30Now I can use some sleep.
05:32Because I'm tired and deserve a rest.
05:36Good morning!
05:38Yo! Look what you did while I was sleeping!
05:41Wow. Everything looks so good.
05:43And now it's time for tea!
05:45Hey, you awake?
05:47I made you some breakfast tea!
05:49Ah!
05:51Oh no!
05:54Ah, crud.
05:55Now there's tea on the new rug.
05:56What were you thinking?
05:58I'm sorry. I just thought I'd surprise you.
06:01Don't worry. I think I have something around here that can help.
06:04Ah, there we go.
06:05Look, I have taste!
06:07I'll just put strips of this tape all over the rug.
06:12I'll use different angles and lengths from all sides.
06:16There we go!
06:17This is the final piece.
06:18And I'll put it right here.
06:19And now it's time to bring in the spray paint.
06:22I'll use different colors and I'll just fill in the spaces on the rug.
06:26Orange and green.
06:33And now it's time for some purple, too.
06:35It's got a bit of a Mardi Gras vibe going.
06:37There we go!
06:38The last shape has been filled in with the color.
06:40And now that it's dry, I can take off the tape.
06:44Look at that!
06:45It comes right up to reveal the pattern underneath.
06:48Wow!
06:49This rug turned out amazing!
06:50What do you think of my new rug?
06:52Go ahead, try it out!
06:53All right.
06:54I don't mind if I do.
06:58You're so clever!
06:59I know, I know.
07:01Sometimes I can be a little genius.
07:02Yes, you're very right.
07:07Chord…
07:08Hey!
07:09Jen!
07:10Jen!
07:11Just gotta get this cord right.
07:14Ugh, stop shouting my name!
07:16I'm busy!
07:16Figure your own stuff out.
07:18Oh yeah?
07:19Well, we'll see how else you can play with distractions.
07:22Just a little closer, and…
07:25Hey, knock it off!
07:26Get that out of here!
07:27Whoa!
07:28Look at it fly through the air!
07:30That gives me an idea!
07:31You ready, Slinky?
07:33Let's do this!
07:34All right, I've just gotta connect these hooks from the ceiling.
07:37And now I can hang my Slinky from the hook!
07:39Great!
07:40Now let me just add a couple more near this one.
07:42Wow!
07:43So colorful and springy!
07:44I love them!
07:46Oh, poor Jen.
07:48What?
07:48I'm not struggling with this pop-it.
07:50Here, you can have it.
07:52Ah, okay!
07:53Hey, I've got another great idea!
07:55What if I just hang it on the wall like this?
07:57Yes!
07:58That works great!
08:00Now let me get the rest of my pop-its.
08:02Just gotta fill the whole blank space with them.
08:04Just nestle it right into this empty spot between the others.
08:12I'm gonna bring them over on this wall, too.
08:14Because a corner doesn't have to be the end of wall decorations.
08:20One more down here so things are symmetrical, and I'm done!
08:26Yes!
08:27I totally love it!
08:28And now I can play with pop-its whenever I want!
08:31Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
08:34Whoa!
08:35Look what you did to this corner over here!
08:37It's so fun!
08:38I kinda dig it!
08:39Good job!
08:40Oh, now I've got an idea!
08:41Here, let me take a photo of you!
08:43It's a great selfie wall!
08:48Hi!
08:48Look at me having fun by my pop-it wall!
08:51Perfect!
08:51Here, check out these pictures I got!
08:53This one's extra good!
09:00No way!
09:01This is such a great photo!
09:03Definitely send that one to me!
09:06This space is finally starting to feel like home.
09:09Uh, what the heck is Jen bringing over here now?
09:11Look out!
09:12I'm rolling this right over here!
09:14There we go!
09:15This is just the place I wanted it!
09:17Ta-da!
09:17It's a seat I made!
09:19Wow, it's so cushy and cute!
09:21How'd you make it?
09:22I'll tell ya!
09:23I started with a bunch of egg cartons!
09:25And then I just began stacking them together!
09:27They fit perfectly together, you see?
09:29So they're easy to stack!
09:30When the stack was as high as I wanted,
09:32I then tipped it onto its side!
09:34The next part was a little tricky,
09:36because I sort of had to accordion out the stack!
09:38But then they made a circle when the two ends met!
09:40Then it was just a matter of adding a foam top for the cushion!
09:43I had this yellow blanket, so it covered the whole thing!
09:46And then I just used a big purple elastic band to hold the blanket in place!
09:50And that was it!
09:51My seat cushion was complete!
09:52Not only that, but now our room is complete too!
09:56I can't believe how well we really turned the whole thing around!
10:00No kidding!
10:01You've got your cozy little bed nook below and your poppet corner!
10:04Those are two of my favorite parts!
10:06But don't forget, you've got your cool artsy corner on your side and your bed on top!
10:12Ah, we really worked hard and it totally paid off!
10:15High five!
