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 some sledgehammer too.
00:35Yeah, swing is 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?
00:47Wow. I'm so excited that we can make this space our own!
00:51Enough. Hello? Yes, I need a designer for a new space I have.
00:58Okay, don't worry. He said he'll be here shortly.
01:01Oh, there he is! Alright, we need a 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 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.
02:13Um, we need more money.
02:15Ugh. Okay, fine. Here's the rest of our cash. That should be enough.
02:19Here you go. Thank you so much for everything.
02:21Hey, what the? Did 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. There we go. Nice and cozy.
02:45But I'm not done. I'm gonna need this glue gun for the next step.
02:48I'm gonna add a line of glue under the mattress. Just a bit like this around the corner.
02:52Now it's ready for the blanket. This will hold it in place.
02:55What do you think? Doesn't it look nice and comfy?
02:58Wow, good job. I'm actually impressed. But now it's my turn.
03:02You might want to move because I have more shelves to arrange.
03:06Ready? Because here's the next one. And the last one.
03:09Whoa! Lost my balancer for a second. Oh, right. A top. Or base. Depending.
03:14Ooh, all right. Time for me to add some of my things. Just gonna crawl right in.
03:20I've got all my pillows for up here too. Can't forget my flamingo light. It makes things so bright.
03:26And then some of my favorite books in this nook over here. Can't forget my little plants.
03:30They just make me happy. Gotta 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! It's great!
03:49All right, let me put away my vintage record collection.
03:52Huh. No room in this cubby. Or in this one.
03:56She's filled all these cubbies already!
03:58She's hogging all of the storage space and that's not fair!
04:05What 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.
04:33Oookay. There's some glue right there. This 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!
04:48And 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! I 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! Now 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! And 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!
05:44And 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! Now there's tea on the new rug! What 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!
06:03Ah! 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! This 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! The 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! It comes right up to reveal the pattern underneath!
06:48Wow! This rug turned out amazing!
06:50What do you think of my new rug?
06:52Go ahead! Try it out!
06:53All right! I don't mind if I do!
06:58You're so clever!
06:59I know, I know! Sometimes I can be a little genius!
07:03Yes, 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! I'm busy!
07:16Figure your own stuff out!
07:18Oh, yeah?
07:19Well, we'll see how well she can play with distractions!
07:22Just a little closer, and…
07:24Hey! Knock it off! Get that out of here!
07:27Whoa! Look at it fly through the air!
07:30That gives me an idea!
07:32You ready, Slinky? Let's do this!
07:34All right, I just gotta connect these hooks from the ceiling!
07:37And now I can hang my Slinky from the hook!
07:39Great! Now let me just add a couple more near this one!
07:42Wow! So colorful and springy!
07:45I love them!
07:46Oh, poor Jen!
07:48What? I'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! That 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! I totally love it!
08:28And now I can play with pop-its whenever I want!
08:31Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
08:34Whoa! Look what you did to this corner over here!
08:37It's so fun! I 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! Look at me having fun by my pop-it wall!
08:51Perfect! Here, check out these pictures I got!
08:53This one's extra good!
09:00No way! This is such a great photo!
09:03Definitely send that one to me!
09:06This space is finally starting to feel like home!
09:09What the heck is Jen bringing over here now?
09:11Look out! I'm rolling this right over here!
09:14There we go! This is just the place I wanted it!
09:17Ta-da! It's a seat I made!
09:19Wow! It's so cushy and cute! How'd you make it?
09:22I'll tell ya! I started with a bunch of egg cartons,
09:25and then I just began stacking them together!
09:27They fit perfectly together, you see? So they're easy to stack!
09:30When the stack was as high as I wanted, I then tipped it onto its side!
09:34The next part was a little tricky because 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! My seat cushion was complete!
09:53Not 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! You've got your cozy little bed nook below and your pop-it corner!
10:04Those are two of my favorite parts, but don't forget,
10:07you've got your cool artsy corner on your side and your bed on top!
10:12We really worked hard and it totally paid off!
10:15High five!
10:20It was such a cute outfit! You looked great!
10:23Hmm, maybe I'll buy it next time.
10:25Hey, what's that?
10:26Wow! Ashley, look!
10:29What?
10:30I'm so confused.
10:32Ten dollars or ten thousand dollars?
10:35Shall we flip it?
10:37Yeah, let's do it!
10:38Ready?
10:39It's so exciting!
10:43It looks like my luck is in!
10:46Aw, that's not fair!
10:48I found it!
10:49I know, but it's the rules!
10:52Whoa! Look at this!
10:53And it's all mine!
10:55This is amazing!
10:57Okay, I hate this already!
10:59Where's my suitcase of cash?
11:01I've got you covered!
11:03That's it.
11:05Gee, thanks.
11:07Fine, let's do this.
11:16Ugh, what is that?
11:19I mean, it's night time!
11:21Do you have to be so bright?
11:25Aw, did I wake you?
11:27That's so annoying!
11:29Okay, back to sleep.
11:33Ugh!
11:34That's it!
11:35I need to fix this!
11:38Huh?
11:39What are you doing?
11:40It's the middle of the night!
11:42Hello?
11:43I need your help!
11:44You rang!
11:46I need curtains!
11:48Wonderful!
11:49I have some gorgeous samples here!
11:53Hmm…
11:54I like that one!
11:55Okay, let's take some measurements!
11:59It's time to get to work!
12:02This won't take long!
12:05Good!
12:06I'm so tired!
12:08Hey, careful!
12:10All done!
12:11What do you think?
12:13Great job!
12:14You've earned this!
12:16That's it?
12:18Very funny.
12:19Whatever.
12:21Here.
12:22My pleasure.
12:24My pleasure.
12:27Now I can get some sleep.
12:31We'll see about that.
12:33Wow.
12:34They're good curtains.
12:36Oh, hello.
12:38Another victim.
12:40Oh, come on!
12:41I'm trying to sleep here!
12:44Ugh.
12:45Oh, look at those curtains!
12:48That's a good idea!
12:49But I don't have anything that fancy.
12:52What am I gonna do?
12:54Hmm.
12:55I could use this blanket.
12:57I'll start by laying the blanket on a flat surface.
13:00Then I'll fold over one edge.
13:02I'll keep folding it over itself.
13:04And build up the layers.
13:07Okay, I'll pinch it in the middle.
13:09I need to punch a hole in the fabric.
13:12Aw, so cute!
13:14Now I need to tie it together.
13:16I'll thread this string through the hole.
13:19And grab it at the other side.
13:21Then open the fabric.
13:24I think it's ready!
13:26Let's hang it!
13:28This should block out the light!
13:33Wait…
13:33Hey, that's not fair.
13:36Oh well.
13:37Good morning!
13:41I can't put this book down.
13:44It's a real page-turner.
13:46Wow, it's so good!
13:49Ugh.
13:50I'm so bored.
13:52There must be something to do.
13:59Look at that!
14:01Wow!
14:03Hello?
14:04I need to place an order?
14:05That's great service!
14:08Here you go!
14:09This is just what I wanted!
14:12This is perfect!
14:14Huh?
14:15What's that?
14:16Never mind.
14:17I can't wait to use it!
14:19Now I have my own private nightclub!
14:22Pretty neat, huh?
14:24Whoa!
14:24It's amazing!
14:26Whoa!
14:27Check that out!
14:28Can I party too?
14:29Uh, no!
14:32Woohoo!
14:34But…
14:34That's just mean.
14:36Hang on.
14:37It's not working!
14:39Oh, I know!
14:41Hey!
14:41I've got this!
14:42It'll be magical!
14:45I'll remove the top from a milk carton.
14:47Then cut stars into it and line the inside with paper.
14:51A little paint and I'm ready to party!
14:53I just need to bring my best dance moves!
14:56What do you think?
14:57I even have a lamp!
14:59I'll place a carton over the bulb and we can party!
15:02Whoa!
15:03Let's go!
15:05It's great!
15:08I love it!
15:10It's so pretty!
15:15Whoa!
15:16It does look good!
15:21Ashley, what are you doing?
15:23Shh!
15:23I'm trying to concentrate!
15:25This is so hard!
15:27Hah!
15:27Nice!
15:28Come on!
15:31No!
15:32I lost!
15:33What's wrong?
15:35Oh, right.
15:37It does look fun, though.
15:40I wish I could play.
15:42Ashley, can I have a go?
15:45You?
15:46Seriously?
15:48No.
15:50I should've expected that.
15:52Fine.
15:53Whoa!
15:55Ouch!
15:57Ouch!
15:57That hurt.
15:58Can you keep it down?
16:00Oh, Jennifer's calling.
16:03Hey, girl!
16:05Now's my chance!
16:07I've been training for this.
16:10Nice and quiet.
16:13Got it!
16:15Got it!
16:15I need to be quick.
16:17I'll trace around the controller.
16:20That's looking good.
16:22I don't need this anymore.
16:24The perfect crime.
16:27Okay, back to my game!
16:30She doesn't suspect a thing.
16:32Now I need to finish this.
16:34I'll start by cutting it out.
16:36Cutting the cardboard into quarters makes it easier.
16:40I don't need these.
16:42I'll add glue around the edge.
16:45Now I'll stick this flexible cardboard strip to it.
16:48I'll press it onto the glue.
16:50Then bend and shape it into position.
16:52Now I'll place another controller template on top.
16:55It looks good, but it's not finished.
16:58Now it's done!
16:59Finally, I'm a gamer!
17:02Whoa, this is so cool!
17:05All I needed was my imagination.
17:08What a game!
17:10Oh, that was close!
17:12Come on!
17:14What are you doing?
17:16It's just cardboard.
17:20But at least she's happy.
17:24Yes! I won!
17:26Wow!
17:27Did you see that?
17:30Nice job!
17:31Okay, let's try this again!
17:35Hey, is that Chris?
17:38Wow, he's in Italy!
17:39And he looks good!
17:42Hmm, I should post my own photos.
17:44Maybe he'll like them.
17:46I'll make sure to get my good side.
17:48I'll look so cute!
17:50Okay, let's take a look!
17:52Uh, what?
17:53I look good, but the background…
17:56Ugh!
17:57I can't post these!
17:59Let's try a different angle.
18:01Nope.
18:02Nah.
18:04Oh, I know!
18:06I'll make a quick call!
18:07Hello?
18:08My selfies are tragic.
18:10Do something!
18:11See you soon!
18:13What's she doing now?
18:15And now I wait!
18:19That was heavy!
18:21Wow!
18:23That's it ready!
18:24Hand over the cash!
18:26Have fun!
18:28This is just what I need!
18:30Wow, it's perfect!
18:32I always wanted to travel!
18:34There's so many options!
18:37Ooh, pizza!
18:40Smile!
18:44These look amazing!
18:47Wow, look at all these lights!
18:50I'm so popular!
18:53She's so lucky!
18:54I wanna do that too!
18:57Hmm…
18:58I have an idea!
18:59I can use this cardboard!
19:01I can see the world without leaving my room!
19:03It's time to get creative!
19:06First I need to make a frame.
19:08Then cut it out.
19:09I'll stick the frame onto the cardboard.
19:12I'll press it down to make sure it's secure.
19:15I've cut a small strip of cardboard,
19:17and I'll cover it with glue.
19:18Then stick it horizontally to the frame.
19:21I'll stick another strip vertically.
19:23It's just like a window frame!
19:26I've made some shutters too!
19:31Now to hang it on the wall!
19:35This looks like the perfect spot!
19:39Ah, Paris…
19:41I'd rather be in the mountains!
19:43Oh, what about Italy?
19:45I'll take a quick photograph.
19:47Woo!
19:48These look great!
