0:00:00 > 0:00:02Ever dreamed of a brand-new room?
0:00:02 > 0:00:04Of taking control?
0:00:04 > 0:00:06And designing it yourself?
0:00:06 > 0:00:10I Want My Own Room makes your designer dreams come true.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Is your bedroom covered in wallpaper that's just not cool? Eugh!
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Are you piggy-in-the-middle cos your brother or sister hogs the house?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Listen up. On I Want My Own Room
0:00:43 > 0:00:47you get control in the family home to create your dream space in it!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Get ready to meet today's design desperado.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53My name's Alex and I love making money.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00But this is the only place where I get any peace!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Alex needs an office and somewhere he can hang out with mates.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11So Mum and Dad give him control of the house.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14A top designer gets to grips with his wish list.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18They find ideas on a trip to a funky office.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22And Mum and Dad are made to chip in.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Time's ticking. - Alex, you're a slave driver!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28But with just four days to get everything done,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30will they finish on time?
0:01:38 > 0:01:4113-year-old Alex is a budding businessman.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Sharing a room with brother Oliver is a right pain, though.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49My brother comes in all the time, plays football.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Sister Alicia is in the box room,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55so that just leaves downstairs.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Or maybe not, with Mum and Dad's stuff everywhere.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I need to pay Alex a visit and find him the space he desperately needs.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08- Hi, come in.- Hi, Alex.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Where shall we go first? - I'll show you the bedroom.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Sounds good.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I share it with my brother, my little brother.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- Sharing can be quite fun.- Yeah, but sometimes he'll break my stuff.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31I spend my paper round money saving up for something I really want.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Next day it's broken! - Whose desk is it?
0:02:33 > 0:02:39It's mainly mine for my plans and how to make money and stuff.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- A bit of a business tycoon?- Yeah! - Is that what you want to do?- Yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46We used to get ice creams, put our money together and go and sell them.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Can I see the rest of the house? - Yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- Woo! Whose is all the stuff?- Mainly Mum's. That's her dressing table.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04We're running out of options here! Shall we go into the garden?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Ooh!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10You've got quite a bit of space out here.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Do you think we could fit a sort of office/ chill-out space in there?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I think maybe half the size of the garden.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I think we've found a space to work with here, Alex.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Shall we go and tell Mum and Dad? - Yeah.- Come on, then.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32So there's nowhere in the house for Alex to build a business empire
0:03:32 > 0:03:36except the garden. But are Mum and Dad ready to hand over control?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40There's not much space for Alex to spread out.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Not much space for any of us! There are five of us.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47There's a lot of Mum and Dad's stuff in the living room area.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- I am a clutter nutter! I hold on to stuff and won't get rid of it.- True!
0:03:51 > 0:03:56So we think, don't we, Alex, that out here in the garden
0:03:56 > 0:03:59would be a great space to build an outside room for Alex.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Where will we put the barbecue? It's my pride and joy, my barbecue!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Do people like his barbecues? - If you like a sausage burnt!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10If you had the barbie, you burn the food anyway!
0:04:10 > 0:04:15We want you to try and do your hobbies in the space Alex has got.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- How do you feel about that? - Easy. Bring it on! Yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23We need to shock Mum and Dad into agreeing to give Alex more space.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I've measured the free floor space in the room that Alex shares.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31And this is the amount of free space that Alex has.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- There you go. One snooker cue and some balls.- Thank you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Give your mum a skipping rope and a hula hoop as well! There you go.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46We need to take it in turns.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Do you and Oliver take it in turns to use the space?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- No, we do it at the same time. - Exactly.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55They should do it at the same time.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- All right, Mum and Dad, come on out of there.- Thank you!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06You've been through enough pain.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Really, how was that?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12That wasn't good. We were very squashed.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Now you know why I deserve my own room!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Mum and Dad, are you ready for this? - I don't know!
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Not entirely convinced, to be honest!- Come on, take the keys.
0:05:24 > 0:05:31Mum and Dad, do you agree to let Alex redesign your house and garden
0:05:31 > 0:05:33any way he chooses to give him more space?
0:05:33 > 0:05:39- Do we have to?- Yes, you do, don't they?- Yeah, you do.- OK, Alex,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- I'll leave it to your good judgement.- Yes!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Well done!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Alex is now officially in charge of designing his own room.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52He'll get to tell Mum and Dad what to do.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55And it all needs to be finished in just four days.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Right. Now we've got the keys, Alex, I'm going to take you to meet
0:05:59 > 0:06:02somebody who'll make all your design dreams come true.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Ready? Come on, then.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Oh, no!
0:06:06 > 0:06:07What have we done here?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Top designer Becci Sharkey
0:06:10 > 0:06:14specialises in performing miracle makeovers from scratch.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17There's no idea too big. If you can imagine it, I can design it!
0:06:17 > 0:06:22She's the perfect person to help Alex turn Mum and Dad's garden
0:06:22 > 0:06:23into the room of his dreams.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Here's the garden space. What do we want to do with it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Make a garden office. - You're interested in business.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Is that the main focus of it?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I'd like a place where I can sort out my profits.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38But also have some fun as well.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40What are the must-have items?
0:06:40 > 0:06:45A desk which you'd expect someone high up to have.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49An office chair, maybe a swivel chair.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Because they need to build an office and chill-out space from scratch,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56they need to get a feel for what will go where.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00This might not be the exact size, but what do you think?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Maybe half of it as a hidden games room
0:07:04 > 0:07:06where I can have my mates over.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Then a step up to the office section.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I could have the desk, the computer, round this area.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- OK.- And my swivel chair.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18That's the layout sorted. Time to get some ideas down on paper.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Or should I say glass?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I've got some special pens and Mum says it's OK cos they wipe off.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28We'll sketch out on this glass what the space will look like.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Grab a pen.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36What kind of features do you want this desk to have?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- A little drink holder, like a dip into the desk.- OK.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Where you can stick your drinks. So say that was the seat there.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45And you'd have your drink over here.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Would you be able to reach that? - You could just walk round.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Alex's design is really beginning to take shape now.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- So, once they've cleaned up... - Let's go!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00..Becci takes him to have a look round one of the BBC's offices.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05This is a brand-new state-of-the-art building, and new home to CBBC.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07So it should be a great place to get ideas.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Alex, I've brought you to this cool office space. What do you think?
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I like the glass and the pattern. And I like the modern look.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Do you like the skyline of the space? The big blocky skyline?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24It's good cos it makes everything stand out.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28If you fancy designing your own room,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31why not look for ideas outside the home, too?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- It's working for Alex! - That's really cool.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Already he's thinking about things to include in his room.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43There's so many colours.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I wanted to show you this space to show that offices aren't boring.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Oh, they're comfy.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55You sink in to the sofa and feel that feeling of comfort.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I've got a camera for you to snap anything you like the look of.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03How can you get so many colours in one carpet?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06All the different types of wallpaper. It was just great!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I'm glad he loves the colours, but he's got quite a small space
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and too many colours might be a bit over the top.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16So this bit's all about desks and chairs.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- What do you reckon?- Oh, yeah!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25The fact it can spin, it can go back and forwards.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30I love the fact that it spins. You can do a 360 turn. It's great.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35And you've got your desk. I'd prefer mine to do more things
0:09:35 > 0:09:36like maybe a drink holder.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39And I'd like a secret stash place!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43All the different types of chairs, the fact that they're all modern
0:09:43 > 0:09:45just caught my eye.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Alex doesn't really like the desks. They're boring.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51We'll have to make something ourselves. Design something.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I hope we can pull it off!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Next, Becci shows Alex the funky wall coverings.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Forget flowers and cars. The writing's on the wall
0:09:59 > 0:10:03with lots of differently-shaped letters called fonts or typefaces.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Look at this wall. It's really cool.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Could I have something like this in mine? Maybe names and stuff,
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- but like headline names of famous people?- Yeah!
0:10:14 > 0:10:19I think the fact that I can create my own font and have it on stickers,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22notepads, et cetera, it'll just be great!
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Is this a door?- Yeah, it's a door into the wall. It's all hidden.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30You don't see it cos of the type. But it's actually a lockable door.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32That's clever!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34This design trip with Becci has been great.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37It's inspired me on how to make my own office.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41With Alex now bursting with so many ideas,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44it'll be a tough job fitting them all in to that garden space.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Becci gets straight down to business
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and is soon ready to reveal her cunning plan!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52We're standing in the space where the office is going to go.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- What inspiration do you find? - Alex had loads of great ideas.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57He took loads of photos.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00The colours are fab. That doesn't really look like an office.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Maybe four or five colours mixing in to each other.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Will that work, Becci?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I think some bold colours with a couple of subtler colours is good.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Can I see the final layout, the design?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17It's like two separate rooms, but people will only see the one room.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21That's what we've done. The left-hand side is office space.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24But they won't see this side entrance.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Your brother and sister won't be able to get in
0:11:27 > 0:11:29to your chill-out area.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It's really what I wanted.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's like a secret den!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37It's great, honestly. I'm really happy. Thanks.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Now Alex is happy, he needs to put the I Want My Own Room team to work!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Let's get started on my room!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It's time for Mum and Dad to get properly kitted out.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55You've got your own I Want My Own Room t-shirts
0:11:55 > 0:11:59and boiler suits. Hand Mum and Dad's over to them.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05You are now going to be clearing away all that gubbins behind you!
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Oh, no!- Right, Alex?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09You're tidying my room because of my orders!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Thanks, Alex. Thank you(!)
0:12:11 > 0:12:14That is you told, Mum and Dad!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Guys, go and get your clothes on.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I can see my office getting delivered. I'm really excited.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24It's like, "What's going to be in there? What's coming next?"
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's great!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Along with getting the keys to the house,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Alex also gets to tell Mum and Dad what to do!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I've got my clipboard and I've got my pen.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37First on my list is to clear the garden.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40You've got five minutes to clear all this rubbish. Go!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Time's ticking! - Alex, you're a slave driver!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's what you do to me. It's payback time!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Get used to it, Mum. Later, you'll be sorting through that stuff
0:12:51 > 0:12:55at the village hall, deciding what to keep and what to chuck.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Come on! You have to go faster! - I'm not used to hard work, Alex!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- I can tell!- I wouldn't like you to be my boss!
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Hurry up!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06They boss me around. So it's time I bossed them around!
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Two minutes, 17, 18, 19, 20! Tick-tock!
0:13:11 > 0:13:16They are working hard. There'll be more of that in the next few days!
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Now the space is cleared, what does Alex think of the progress so far?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It didn't look that big when we put it out with ribbon.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35But now it's starting to look quite big!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42As one of three kids in a family of five,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45there's no room for Alex to spread out.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49So we've got Mum and Dad to hand over the keys to the house
0:13:49 > 0:13:53and they've agreed he can turn the garden into the room of his dreams.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56But with just three days to go, it's all hands on deck
0:13:56 > 0:13:59before Alex gives it his seal of approval.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Three!
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Day Two. The I Want My Own Room team make an early start on Alex's room,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10despite the rain.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Good weather for ducks!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The office gets a floor and the team invent their own language!
0:14:15 > 0:14:17UNINTELLIGIBLE INSTRUCTIONS
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Come again?
0:14:28 > 0:14:33What Stewart meant was that when they join the last piece of wood,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36they should spin the floor and it'll look neater!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42The family are sleeping elsewhere.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47How does Alex feel about his second day as project manager?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I couldn't get to sleep because I was thinking about the day ahead!
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And what about Mum and Dad?
0:14:53 > 0:14:58I feel really excited and raring to go. I want to get stuck in and help.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01That's the spirit! I'm not sure Dad feels the same way!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Let's hope he wakes up when they check on progress
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and Alex dishes out the jobs for the day.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17OK, Mum, you'll do the panels to make sure of the back wall.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Dad, you're sorting out the windows. Let's get cracking.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24You're an expert on these, aren't you?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Careful of your thumbs!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Even it out a bit.- I'm getting the hang of this now, Alex!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Is that OK?- I think it is, yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Let us finish it off.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Expert!
0:15:52 > 0:15:54With the walls to Alex's office now up,
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Becci checks he's happy with the layout before the wall goes in.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Tell me which side do you want everything on?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Well, probably the office space there.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- And the other place here.- Brilliant.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Good. We'll have your desk and everything over there.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Everybody will see that bit.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Here, your secret area where you can hang out with your friends.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18And this is where the secret door will go.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Shh! Don't tell anyone!
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Alex loved the colour and shapes of lettering and logos
0:16:24 > 0:16:25he saw on the design trip.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Becci's decided to help make some of his own.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Every good company or businessman needs a logo.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35A little motif or picture that makes it easily recognisable,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36sometimes the simplest of things.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39So what about a name for the company?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Alex's something? Have you got any ideas?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45It's going to be the second name of the road I was brought up in.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It's called Groves.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Why not design your own logo?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Alex wants to use the name of the road he grew up on
0:16:52 > 0:16:55but yours could include just about anything!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Think about what you want to say,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00then get creative with shapes and colour.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Then the red going round cos that's a darker colour out of the two.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07If you know where I'm going!
0:17:08 > 0:17:13The orange round, so the darker colours are round the ridge. Inside.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- So like a shadow.- The lighter colours.- That's cool.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Maybe you could use pictures in your room, too.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- I would like to add something.- OK.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23A computer.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26We'll have to wait till later to see Alex's final design.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- I'll get this printed up, and you check on Mum and Dad!- OK.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Boo!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- How are you doing?- We're getting there. Help us if you want.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- I'm OK, thank you.- You enjoy yourself. Chill out(!)
0:17:38 > 0:17:42That's what he'll be doing in the spot you're kneeling in.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Once you've cleared it up, that is!
0:17:44 > 0:17:48How does Alex feel his new room is taking shape?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52I can't believe all the progress made over two days. Ten out of ten.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56If it was out of a million, it's a million out of a million!
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'd say he was pretty happy!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06But I have a feeling that things might be about to change.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09There are just two days left to get Alex's room finished
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and there's a problem!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14All it's done since we started this build is rain.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18We should be painting this structure today, but the paint won't dry.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20If the paint won't dry, we can't finish the build.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24If we can't do that, then Alex won't have his own room!
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Before Alex arrives, Becci has a job for me.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- What are we up to, Becci?- I know what Alex wants from his design,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33so we can keep the rest of it a secret.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Let's stick these up so he can't peek!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- It's exciting, isn't it?- Yeah. - It's going to be great.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Because Alex liked the look of the buildings on their design trip,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Becci wants to bring the same idea to the outside of his
0:18:48 > 0:18:50with a difference!
0:18:50 > 0:18:55We're going to paint it, making a shape that looks like a city.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Brilliant.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Hold up - where are Mum and Dad sneaking off to?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- What do you think you're doing? - Busted, Mum and Dad.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I was just making sure it was all secure!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- They need punishing.- Yep.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16We're sending you to the village hall to sort out the garden stuff.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19What are you going to chuck out, what will you keep and what recycle?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23It's meant to be a surprise! God, you know!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Can't get the parents, these days!
0:19:25 > 0:19:29While Mum and Dad start unloading stuff from the back garden,
0:19:29 > 0:19:35back at the house, Becci spots something from Alex's bedroom
0:19:35 > 0:19:37to use in the final design.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Alex's old shelf is cut, sanded and glued, making a funky coat hook!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- I like it.- It's good. - I'm loving the paint colour.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It's like the one I have on my logo.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Shall we get stuck in?- Yep.- Great! See you later!- Cheers, Becci.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Got any ideas what's going on out there at the moment?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I have a rough idea but to be honest, I'm quite excited
0:19:57 > 0:20:00because I just want it to stay as a surprise, really.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- I'm amazed.- Are you? - And so is my mum and dad.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Talking of Mum and Dad, how are they getting on, sorting stuff?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11You need to sort through everything from the garden
0:20:11 > 0:20:14and decide what to keep, throw or give to charity.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19I don't like to get rid of them, so just put it in the "keep" box.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Oh, look at all this!
0:20:22 > 0:20:26This is 13 years old. It's as old as Alex.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Come on, Mum! No time for messing about.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33What do you reckon your mates will say when they see it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35They'll probably be amazed!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Loads of friends coming round to look at it!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Especially on parties and stuff.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42My birthday and stuff.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I can't even say we'll find treasure, cos we won't.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48She's not the only one trying to find cash amongst the trash.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Last year, a second-hand toy sold for £100,000!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54That's enough to buy...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Maybe it's time Alex paid them a visit!
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Alex, I reckon that's a job well done.- Yep.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08Hello? Hello, Alex. How are you? You're on your way here?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Hey, Mum and Dad. How's it going?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Not many things in there, is there?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You can put that in and help us out a bit.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18No, you can do that, can't you?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Not getting much done, are you?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- We're trying our best! - Come on, then, lads.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Let's get stuck in.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- How about your dart board, Alex? - Is there any darts?- No arrows, no.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30So junk.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Charity?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It was great to see my mum and dad clearing all the stuff.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Mum was happy because she realised there'd be no junk in the garden.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46She probably felt disappointed that she had to do it herself.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50The stuff is finally sorted, and most of it is going to be binned.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The wall between the office and the secret chill-out space
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Alex asked for is in.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Becci has even come up with a fun way of going between them.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01A revolving door!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05One more sleep and we've got to show Alex the finished office.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07And we haven't even finished painting!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I'm seriously worried about this.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12While the team work long into the night,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Alex settles down before he sees his room tomorrow.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20It's great to be in charge. It's absolutely amazing,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23the fact that they're building an office just for me!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I can't wait until tomorrow.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32It's the final day. The sun's shining, the birds are singing,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35the paint's drying! Everything in the garden is lovely.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37But no time for slacking. In less than six hours,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Alex will want to move in to his own room!
0:22:41 > 0:22:45First on the list is to get Alex's desk ready for the office.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48After minor adjustments, it's ready to paint.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I think it's going to look fab!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53But is it going to fit?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57It'll be really tight. He has to get past the desk and sit down.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Hmm.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Becci decides to get everything else ready before testing the desk.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06So I'm checking out the side door to Alex's secret chill-out zone.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Remember, there didn't use to be a door here. Now there is a door!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14But it's a secret!
0:23:16 > 0:23:20With the tent down and the roof up, the team are feeling the pressure.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22What? It fits perfectly!
0:23:23 > 0:23:27And last-minute hitches threaten to hold everything up.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29They're the wrong screws!
0:23:29 > 0:23:31But Becci is calm under the pressure
0:23:31 > 0:23:33and is getting creative.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I've noticed Alex loves his Union Jacks.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39So I'm making one for inside his office - but with a difference!
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Time for me to flag up just how long we've got to finish.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Designers, decorators and dog's-bodies,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49we have just three hours before Alex comes home
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and we have to be finished! Over and out!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58'I'm going round in circles, here!' Guys,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01mucking around aside, reckon you can get this done?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- Yeah!- Yeah?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Good luck.- Thank you!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10While the finishing touches go into position,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14an excited Alex and the rest of the family head back to the house
0:24:14 > 0:24:15after a tense day's wait.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Alex has done a good job of those.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I'm hoping to feel quite made up,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24although I am quite nervous cos I want to really see what's gone on.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It'll brighten up our lives as well as the garden!
0:24:27 > 0:24:33No pressure! But after one of the biggest challenges we've faced...
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Come on!
0:24:34 > 0:24:37..the office is finally ready for the boss of this build
0:24:37 > 0:24:40to tell us what he thinks.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Remember four days ago how you felt when we turned up and took over?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I was quite nervous, actually.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50It's time to hand the keys back to Mum and Dad.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Come on, Alex!
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Thank you.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Are you ready to see the finished room?- Yeah, I am, yeah!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Mum, do the honours. Let us in.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Four days ago, Alex was sharing a room with his brother
0:25:04 > 0:25:07but had no room to work on schemes or have his mates over.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10We saw potential in the only available space, the garden.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15And Alex, with the I Want My Own Room team, transformed it!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Alex wanted two rooms for the price of one.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21A high-spec office and games room.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27It took all Becci's know-how to create an outstanding unique space.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The logo Alex designed has taken pride of place
0:25:31 > 0:25:36and we even gave him a view with these giant back-lit photo frames!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39With everything riding on a positive reaction,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42it's down to Alex to tell us what he thinks.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44One...
0:25:44 > 0:25:46..two...
0:25:47 > 0:25:48..three!
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Oh! The fact that it started off with no garden
0:25:52 > 0:25:56and I've ended up after a few days with this! Oh!
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I really thank you.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00In we go.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's posh!
0:26:03 > 0:26:07'Hi, Alex. It's Duncan Bannatyne here, from Dragons' Den.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11'Always remember, even the simplest ideas can reap the biggest rewards.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13'Good luck.'
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Oh, yes, nice one, that!
0:26:16 > 0:26:21- Pull that back, and what's that? - A little computer, is it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Oh, no!
0:26:23 > 0:26:28It's a little space where I can put my stuff in! Like a safe thing!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31There's another surprise.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34A Union Jack! What's this here?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38That is a special game. You get the balls and throw them from here.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- If you get them down the tubes, those are the points you get.- Posh!
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Sit on the bean bags and do it. That's a DVD projector.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50So if you put DVDs in, you can watch them on here?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Uh-huh!- Oh, that is really, really good!
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Phew! I think we cracked it! What do Mum and Dad think?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Oh, wow, isn't that fantastic?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Wow!
0:27:01 > 0:27:05I think Alex's new room is absolutely amazing.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09It's lovely. I'm overwhelmed. It's just fabulous.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I feel like I designed it with Becci.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15She helped me design it. Yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Alex, are you happy?- I've never been happier. Thanks very much.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22That was one tough build.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25And Alex is one tough cookie to please!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27But the I Want My Own Room team cracked it
0:27:27 > 0:27:32and left him with an amazing space he can really call his own.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- I wouldn't like you to be my boss! - Hurry up!
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Expert!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I'm speechless. I really, really, really like it!
