00:00Oh, look at this, Matthew! I found a radio! It's in pretty good shape too!
00:05Hmm, I wonder what we have over here? A wooden hand, an old tree, some candles…
00:10Oh no way, what's this? Whoa! You've gotta be kidding me! I think it's a boogie board!
00:16Tina, look! What? Oh, that's amazing! I want something amazing too!
00:21I just gotta keep searching. There must be something in here!
00:24Ugh, nothing in this box. Maybe if I look over here? No thanks on the donut!
00:30Wait! Whoa! Oh my gosh! I think it's some sort of inflatable!
00:35A floaty maybe? Or a pool? Wait a second… I think I'm getting an idea!
00:40Step one, use this bike pump to inflate this inflatable! Just gotta keep pumping!
00:45Ugh, this is hard work! Okay, now I need to open my backpack for step two!
00:50Come on, Candy! Into the kiddie pool you go! Yep, all of you!
00:54Let's go, let's go! We don't have all day!
00:57What the… Tina, how did you have so much candy in there?
01:00Wait a second… Tina, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
01:05Here, take this helmet for safety! Got it!
01:08Woohoo! Geronimo!
01:10Ooh, woohoo! It worked! I totally landed in the candy pool!
01:15Matt, it's my turn now! Watch me!
01:18Woo!
01:19Hey, you did it, Tina!
01:21Darn right I did! Now let's celebrate!
01:25What do we have here? Looks like some sort of case…
01:28Get out of there! What are you…
01:30Oh, ouch!
01:32Whoa! What is that?
01:34I don't know, right?
01:37Let's take a look and see what's inside!
01:39Could be something epic!
01:41Oh, huh. Like, a lot of junk?
01:43Hey, wait! A lollipop! This looks delicious!
01:49Oh, Matthew! That was not okay!
01:52Well, I've got these markers!
01:53You have fun with them! I've got this lamp to keep me busy!
01:57First things first, I need to get rid of this ratty lampshade!
02:00Now I'm gonna turn it upside down and add some hot glue!
02:02Doesn't have to be a lot, just a dollar!
02:04And then for the straws…
02:06I've cut it to length and now I can add it to the lampshade frame!
02:08Perfect! Now I just have to keep going with other colors!
02:12That's one nice looking lampshade if I do say so myself!
02:15And I do!
02:16All right, let's get this lampshade back on the lamp and see what we've got!
02:20Whoa! That turned out great!
02:23Hey, Matthew! Look, I drew this picture of you!
02:26Oh. Haha, real funny!
02:28Well, I made this lamp!
02:30Holy cow! You made that? I'm impressed!
02:32But I think it could be even better!
02:34Let me show you something!
02:35Just gotta draw a little bit more over here!
02:37There! I colored the tape I put on the roll of tape!
02:40That sounds funny!
02:42Anyway, look at this! It can go right on top of your lampshade!
02:45Whoa! You're a genius, Tina!
02:49Whoa! Just look at all those tiny grains of sand falling!
02:52Ugh, I'm so bored. This is so boring now…
02:56Ah! What was that?
02:58Oh, a hand fell on my head!
03:00Hey, wait a second! I know what we should do!
03:02What's that now?
03:03Okay, I've got this plastic sheeting, and I've wrapped myself up tight!
03:07I've got the vacuum! You ready for this, Tina?
03:09Because here I come!
03:11It's working! The vacuum is sucking out all the air!
03:14Oof!
03:15Ow! My back!
03:17Stupid floor!
03:18Why do you have to be so hard like that?
03:20Ugh. We've still got more plastic sheeting.
03:22I know what to do!
03:23Wait! Matthew! Where are you going?
03:25Don't leave me here like this!
03:27Ah! Matthew! I'm stuck!
03:28Okay. I think this should be enough plastic for my plan to work.
03:31I'm gonna need to blow up this balloon, though!
03:37That's good enough! I can add it to the others in this plastic bag!
03:40Alright, then back to the vacuum!
03:42It's gonna get rid of all the extra air around the balloons!
03:45Ha! Look at this! It's amazing!
03:47It's sort of like a giant balloon!
03:49Tina! Here, let me help you up!
03:51Thanks for that!
03:52Hey! What'd you make over there?
03:54Oh! Let me show you! It's my solution to the hard ground!
03:58Ah! So much more comfortable!
04:00Let me try!
04:03Alright! Time for a nap!
04:05I need some of this blanket!
04:07Huh? Tina? What the heck? Stop stealing my blanket!
04:11Hey! No fair! You've gotta share with me, Matthew! You can't hog it!
04:14Huh? Oh. It looks like a hula hoop or something.
04:19Stop!
04:20Wait! The blanket! The plastic hoop!
04:22Yeah! This'll totally work!
04:23Alright! Just gotta take some of these scraps and use these scissors!
04:28Okay! The hoop is covered in blanket fabric!
04:30Now I'm gonna use the sheer fabric and use some safety pins!
04:33I'm gonna pin it all around the hoop like this!
04:35Just a few more adjustments here, one more strap there…
04:40Ta-da! What do you think?
04:42Um… I don't even know what it is…
04:45You're hopeless!
04:46Okay, just give me one second!
04:48Just gonna run up these stairs!
04:50Prepare yourself for the awesome!
04:51What? Blech! Fabric?
04:55Okay! It's tied in place! Back down I go!
04:58Okay, do you get it now? Watch!
05:00See? It's like our own little sanctuary!
05:03It reminds me of mosquito netting, but alright! I dig it!
05:09Our voice is really starting to come together!
05:11Now it's back to nap time for me and my blanket!
05:16Haha! Look at all this cool stuff I've had in this box!
05:21That's hilarious! I particularly like those glasses!
05:24Alright, Matthew! Prepare yourself for my next look!
05:27I'm waiting!
05:29Aw, man! I'm also pretty hungry, too! I think I'm definitely gonna need some grub!
05:34Let me just give this a little blowin'!
05:36Huh?
05:38Here's the food you ordered, sir!
05:40Woah! No way! I hadn't even ordered anything yet!
05:43You're welcome! I just need your payment, please!
05:46Oh, right! Money! Just give me a second here!
05:49RAR! We all flipped down here!
05:51Ah! Sewer cloud! Run!
05:55Hahaha! Oh, man! I scared the heck out of that dude!
05:58He ran so fast!
06:00I'm gonna see what I've got in this bag!
06:02Ooh, drink! Don't mind if I do!
06:04Ah, I love soda!
06:06No! My free soda!
06:08Oh, that's a huge mess now, too!
06:10Hey! Now I'm a rainbow unicorn!
06:13Hey! What happened over there?
06:15Matthew, did you spill a soda on the floor?
06:17Well, don't worry! I think I've got something in here that can help!
06:21Got him! Some wooden clothes hangers and a glue gun!
06:24Time to get to work with the glue! Let's do this!
06:26Just gonna add a squiggle line down the arms like this!
06:29It doesn't have to be perfect or anything! It's not for decoration!
06:32Just a little more, and there! That should be enough!
06:35Now I'm gonna glue the other hanger to this one like this!
06:37I'll remove the hooks, and perfect! They're table legs!
06:40And now I just need a table top! There it is!
06:43Ta-da! Now we have to go!
06:44I have a table for sodas and stuff!
06:46I'm really impressed!
06:47All I gotta do now is clean up my soda mess!
06:51Matthew, are you kidding me? You're ridiculous!
06:56I'm so close to beating this level and…
06:58No! Shoot!
07:00Haha! Sounds like something is amiss! Just kidding! But now it's time to look at things magnified!
07:06Uh, Matthew, what are you doing? You're being such a weirdo right now!
07:11Let's see! We've got the hand, and the tree…
07:14Ooh, clean as bows!
07:15Knock it off, Matthew, I'm busy!
07:18Ugh, what are you doing? You're being so stupid right now!
07:22Hey wait, look at this!
07:23Look at what? Why are you being like this?
07:26Everything is so colorful and reflective! It's cool!
07:28Hey! Wait a second! Give me that!
07:31I've got this box I'm gonna flip on its edge! Then I'll add the magnifying glass and start tracing its
07:36shape!
07:36All the way around like this! And then I'll cut it out!
07:39Now I can take the magnifying lens and put it right in the hole! Perfect!
07:44Alright Matthew, you ready to see what I've made?
07:47I'll just put it on the table, and now here's my phone!
07:50I put a phone stand inside so the phone has somewhere to rest!
07:53Oh, Tina, I totally get it! This is gonna be awesome!
07:56Let me just close it up! I'll get the lights…
07:59And I've got the snacks! Here's some popcorn just for you!
08:02Look! Our homemade projector totally works! I love this channel!
08:08Oh! Gosh, it's been a long day!
08:11Oh yeah, you're telling me we really did a lot!
08:14I'm just gonna close my eyes for a second here…
08:20Ew! Is this supposed to be our dorm room for this year?
08:26Hey! Wait a second! What's this?
08:29Look what's over here!
08:30Here, hold my guitar for me while I grab this!
08:34I do love a heavy sledgehammer! Time to get smashing!
08:37I'm gonna make this the best dorm room ever! You'll see!
08:41No! What are you doing? You're smashing a hole in the wall!
08:45I know, isn't it great? Check out all this extra room we could have!
08:49Wow, that's amazing! Alright, I wanna try the sledgehammer too!
08:53Yeah! Swing it super hard! Excellent!
08:56Okay, that's big enough! I'm gonna crawl through!
08:59Hurry up, because I'm coming through next! This space is way better than that other space, right?
09:05Wow! I'm so excited that we can make this space our own!
09:12Hello? Yes, I need a designer for a new space I have!
09:16Okay, don't worry! She said he'll be here shortly!
09:19Oh, there he is! Alright, we need this space to be absolutely perfect!
09:22Hmm, yes, I see. This space is indeed a blank canvas to work on!
09:27Okay, here's my design. What do you think?
09:29Oh my gosh, yes! It's absolutely perfect!
09:32No way! That's not at all what we need!
09:35Oh, I see. Well, I've got some other designs as well for you to look at!
09:39No! I hate blue! It's too sad!
09:42Alright, how about something more citrus?
09:45Um, I mean, I guess that's okay?
09:48Yeah, we'll go with that. Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be fine.
09:51Perfect. The total bill for the project will be… this much.
09:55We definitely can't afford that. Or maybe…
09:57That's not in our budget.
09:59No! Well, art isn't cheap, my dears. So long.
10:03Whatever. We can handle this ourselves. Come on!
10:06See? Now this is more within our budget.
10:09I mean, I guess so. There is a lot of stuff here.
10:12Trust me. You just have to have a keen eye for the right thing.
10:15Like maybe that busk. Or that lantern.
10:19Oh, right there!
10:21That's what we need. Hand over some of the money.
10:23Geez, alright. Fine.
10:25Here you go, miss. Our money.
10:27Um, is this a joke? This isn't nearly enough to pay for what you want.
10:31Um, we need more money.
10:33Okay, fine. Here's the rest of our cash. That should be enough.
10:37Here you go. Thank you so much for everything.
10:40Hey, what the…
10:41Did we just buy the whole shelving unit?
10:44Huh. Seems like…
10:45Oh, and don't forget your other purchase.
10:47Oh, right. Thanks again and have a great rest of the day!
10:50Hey, look! I've got the little mattress we purchased.
10:53Great. Now go ahead and unroll it.
10:55Oh, right. Okay. Here it goes.
10:57It's nice! Let me put a blanket on it.
10:59I've got this yellow one right here.
11:01There we go. Nice and cozy.
11:03But I'm not done. I'm gonna need this glue gun for the next step.
11:06I'm gonna add a line of glue under the mattress.
11:09Just a bit like this around the corner.
11:10Now it's ready for the blanket. This will hold it in place.
11:13What do you think? Doesn't it look nice and comfy?
11:16Wow, good job. I'm actually impressed.
11:19But now it's my turn.
11:21You might want to move, because I have more shelves to arrange.
11:24Ready? Because here's the next one.
11:26And the last one.
11:27Whoa! Lost my balancer for a second.
11:30Oh, right. A top. Or base. Depending.
11:32Ooh, all right. Time for me to add some of my things.
11:35Just gonna crawl right in.
11:38I've got all my pillows for up here, too.
11:40Can't forget my flamingo light. It makes things so bright.
11:44And then some of my favorite books in this nook over here.
11:47Can't forget my little plants.
11:48They just make me happy.
11:51Gotta make sure these pillows are all nice and fluffy.
11:54Hey, I think we're done with the whole thing.
11:57What a cozy and comfy little private space we made.
12:00It's great!
12:07All right, let me put away my vintage record collection.
12:10Huh. No room in this cubby. Or in this one.
12:14Ugh. She's filled all these cubbies already.
12:16She's hogging all of the storage space and that's not fair.
12:20Hmm.
12:23Well, what am I gonna do now?
12:25There's more room, of course. But no more shelves.
12:28Well, let me check out what's back in the old room.
12:31Maybe there's something around here that I can use.
12:34Huh. Is that a pile of old VHS tapes?
12:37Hey, I think I've got an idea.
12:39Yep, I'm definitely gonna give this a try.
12:42Come with me, tapes!
12:44You're obsolete, but I know a way to make you useful once more.
12:48Whoa. Better set these down.
12:50Ooh, okay. There's some glue right there.
12:53This is just what I need. I'll just put some glue right on the end of this tape.
12:56Now to put it where I want it to go. On another tape.
12:59Now to build the structure out of the tapes and the glue.
13:02I can't believe that people used to use these to watch movies and stuff.
13:06Phew.
13:06And now I finally have a shelving unit I can use for my things, too.
13:10Mirror ball is a check. Now for my records.
13:13Perfect! I can also store my checkers and chessboard here, too.
13:16And my own lamp to illuminate the space.
13:19Yes! I'm so proud of what I've accomplished!
13:22Look at that. Now all my stuff have their own space.
13:29Hmm. This room seems like it's missing a little something, though.
13:32Time to add some wall hangings and posters.
13:34There's one.
13:36And two. And how about a third one?
13:39A nice spooky sky with bats.
13:41Just the way I like it.
13:42This place is really starting to come together if I say so myself.
13:46I absolutely love it.
13:48And now I can use some sleep.
13:50Because I'm tired and deserve a rest.
13:54Good morning!
13:56Yo! Look what you did while I was sleeping!
13:59Wow! Everything looks so good!
14:02And now it's time for tea!
14:03Hey! You awake?
14:05I made you some breakfast tea!
14:07Ah!
14:09Oh no!
14:12Oh, crud! Now there's tea on the new rug!
14:14What were you thinking?
14:16I'm sorry! I just thought I'd surprise you!
14:19Don't worry! I think I have something around here that can help!
14:22Ah! There we go!
14:24Look! I have taste!
14:25I'll just put strips of this tape all over the rug.
14:30I'll use different angles and lengths from all sides.
14:34There we go! This is the final piece!
14:36And I'll put it right here!
14:38Now it's time to bring in the spray paint!
14:40I'll use different colors and I'll just fill in the spaces on the rug!
14:44Orange and green!
14:51And now it's time for some purple, too!
14:53It's got a bit of a Mardi Gras vibe going!
14:56There we go! The last shape has been filled in with the color!
14:59And now that it's dry, I can take off the tape!
15:02Look at that! It comes right up to reveal the pattern underneath!
15:06Wow! This rug turned out amazing!
15:09What do you think of my new rug?
15:10Go ahead! Try it out!
15:12All right! I don't mind if I do!
15:16You're so clever!
15:17I know, I know! Sometimes I can be a little genius!
15:21Yes, you're very right!
15:25Lord… Hey!
15:27Jen!
15:28Jen!
15:29Just gotta get this cord right!
15:32Ugh! Stop shouting my name! I'm busy!
15:35Figure your own stuff out!
15:36Oh yeah? Well, we'll see how well she can play with distractions!
15:40Just a little closer and…
15:43Hey! Knock it off! Get that out of here!
15:45Whoa! Look at it fly through the air!
15:48That gives me an idea!
15:50You ready, Slinky? Let's do this!
15:52All right, I just gotta connect these hooks from the ceiling!
15:55And now I can hang my Slinky from the hook!
15:57Great! Now let me just add a couple more near this one!
16:00Wow! So colorful and springy!
16:02I love them!
16:04Oh, poor Jen!
16:06What? I'm not struggling with this pop-it!
16:08Here, you can add it!
16:10Ah, okay!
16:11Hey, I've got another great idea!
16:13What if I just hang it on the wall like this?
16:15Yes! That works great!
16:18Now let me get the rest of my pop-its!
16:20Just gotta fill the whole blank space with them!
16:22Just nestle it right into this empty spot between the others!
16:30I'm gonna bring them over on this wall, too!
16:32Because a corner doesn't have to be the end of wall decorations!
16:38One more down here so things are symmetrical, and I'm done!
16:44Yes! I totally love it!
16:46And now I can play with pop-its whenever I want!
16:49Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
16:52Whoa! Look what you did to this corner over here!
16:55It's so fun! I kinda dig it!
16:57Good job!
16:58Oh, now I've got an idea!
16:59Here, let me take a photo of you!
17:01It's a great selfie wall!
17:06Hi! Look at me having fun by my pop-it wall!
17:09Perfect! Here, check out these pictures I got!
17:11This one's extra good!
17:18No way! This is such a great photo!
17:21Definitely send that one to me!
17:24This space is finally starting to feel like home!
17:27Uh, what the heck is Jen bringing over here now?
17:29Look out! I'm rolling this right over here!
17:32There we go! This is just the place I wanted it!
17:35Ta-da! It's a seat I made!
17:37Wow! It's so cushy and cute! How'd you make it?
17:40I'll tell ya! I started with a bunch of egg cartons!
17:43And then I just began stacking them together!
17:45They fit perfectly together, you see? So they're easy to stack!
17:48When the stack was as high as I wanted, I then tipped it onto its side!
17:52The next part was a little tricky because I sort of had to accordion out the stack!
17:56But then they made a circle when the two ends met!
17:58Then it was just a matter of adding a foam top for the cushion!
18:01I had this yellow blanket, so it covered the whole thing!
18:04And then I just used a big purple elastic band to hold the blanket in place!
18:08And that was it! My seat cushion was complete!
18:11Not only that, but now our room is complete too!
18:14I can't believe how well we really turned the whole thing around!
18:18No kidding! You've got your cozy little bed nook below and your pop-it corner!
18:22Those are two of my favorite parts!
18:24But don't forget, you've got your cool artsy corner on your side and your bed on top!
18:30Ah, we really worked hard and it totally paid off!
18:33High five!
18:39How would you decorate your dorm room?
