This is I Want My Own Room, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
the show where you create your dream space | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
in your family home. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
If you find sharing a room "sew" annoying, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
if you need space away from your | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
"knit-wit" brother, sister or parents, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
well, the I Want My Own Room team | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
can "tailor" a room to your needs. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
Parents, zip it. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
Because on this show, the kids are in charge. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Meet today's design-tastic duo. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
I'm Freya. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm Hattie. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
-BOTH: -We want our own room! | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Sisters Freya and Hattie | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
are being driven mad, having no space to get art-and-crafty. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
-So we persuade mum to give them the keys to the house. -Yay! | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
A top designer works on their plans. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-Are you ready to get your hands a bit dirty and start helping me out? -Yeah! | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
They get ideas at an animation workshop, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
and the girls take charge of the team. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-Telling a load of adults what to do. -Keep working! No chit-chatter. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
They're as happy as Larry. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
With just four days to transform the space, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
will the team be able to create the design den of their dreams? | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Voila. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
11-year-old Freya and 9-year-old Hattie love to make things. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Freya is a dab hand with a needle and thread, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
and Hattie is a budding filmmaker. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
The girls live with their older sister Ella, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
who gets a room of her own, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
and ceramics designer Mum, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
who has masses of space to go potty with her pottery. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
Even cats Lola and Rose have more space than Freya and Hattie. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
And this creative duo have had enough. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
BUMP! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
It's clear to me | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
I need to help Freya and Hattie find a space of their own. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-Hello, how are you doing? -Good. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-Are we allowed to have a look round? -Yeah, follow us. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
This is our room. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
Do you know what? It's a lovely room, isn't it? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-It's just got all our old stuff in it. -It's cramped. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
It'd be nice to have more space for it. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
Is there anything particular you'd like to do in the space? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Well, we can't make any of our Plasticine models. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
We have to do it on the floor, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
but then we're not allowed to get Plasticine on the carpet, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
because you can't get it off, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
and Mum's not particularly happy with that. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
I've got loads of sewing stuff, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
but there's no room to do it, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
so I don't do it any more. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
You've convinced me you do need more space. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Let's have a look round the house. Where shall we go first? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-The attic. -The attic. -This way. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
These steps are very... | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
they're not really... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
-Are they quite heavy to get down? -Yes. -We wouldn't be able to reach. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
So you'd need somebody else to pull them down for you. That's not good. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
-Let's see what else we can find. -OK. -After you. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
What's this room used for officially at the moment? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
It's supposed to be our playroom, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
but it's not really worked out. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-That TV's rubbish. It doesn't work. -What is this, next to it? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
-That's off our car. -Our old car. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-I'm assuming that's not yours. -That's definitely not ours. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
Do you know what? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
-I think we might have found our solution. -Great! -Come on, then. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
So Freya and Hattie don't have enough space in their bedroom | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
for all their arts and crafts. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
The abandoned front room could be perfect, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
but will Mum agree to hand over the keys? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
Hattie, Freya, we've had a good look in your bedroom. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
It's pretty cramped, would you say? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
-Yes. -Yeah, definitely. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-Not much room to do what you want to do? -No. -Nope. -Not at all. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
Mum, they haven't got much room in there, have they? | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
No, but they have got the front room downstairs. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
That is true, but we had a look in there as well. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
There's a lot of clutter in there, isn't there? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
There's a bit of old car in there. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Is there? Really? OK. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
What we've done, Mum, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
to prove to you how much the girls really do need their own space... | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
OK... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
We've gone into their bedroom, measured the available floor space, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
cut it in half, cos obviously they share that space, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-and hat works out at 3.2 square metres. -Right. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Which is exactly what we have here. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
So just to show you how difficult it is to live and work | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
in that space, we've put a chair and your ceramics and things in there | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
for you to have a go at it. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
How do you think Mum's going to do, girls? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Oh, here we go! | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-Oh, the transfers are going on the floor. -Right. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
The head's come out! No, your head's out, you have to stay in, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
-that's cheating. Now you're caught up in the tape. -Ouch. -Oh dear. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Arrgh! | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
This is so entertaining. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
So, come on, honestly, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
what's it like working in that enclosed space? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
Horrible. Really horrible! | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-Shall we let Mum come out now? -Yeah. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Come on, then, Mum. -Thank you. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
So, Mum, do you agree to hand over control and the keys to the girls? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
Uhh... | 0:05:34 | 0:05:35 | |
-Yes. -Those are your very own house keys. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
Do you agree to let Freya and Hattie redesign your home | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
in any way they choose | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
-to give them more space? -Um... | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
DRUM ROLL | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Oh...I suppose so. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
There we go, yes! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
So, Freya and Hattie are now in charge of designing their own room. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
They'll get to tell Mum what to do, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
and it all needs to be finished in just four days. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
I think it's about time I took you to meet somebody | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
who's going to make all your design dreams come true. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-How does that sound? -That sounds amazing. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
I Want My Own Room designer Michelle Ackerley | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
is an accomplished artist, and her wide knowledge of craft techniques | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
makes her the ideal person to help Freya and Hattie | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
change their tired front room into a fabulous new design den. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
I just want to get a sense of what this room is going to be used for. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
What is the most important thing you want to get out of this room? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
For me, I want to be a producer, so I want to make films. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
So would you like there to be some kind of video camera station | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-or something to do with video? -A computer area, yeah. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
I'm really intrigued by these little Plasticine models. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
Tell me a bit more about these. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
In our spare time, we make little Plasticine things. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
We actually managed to sell them at a festival, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
it was where we made £7 off these little things. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-Did you really? -And we only sold like five. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
We need a space for you to display them, or store them | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
so they won't get squished. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
They need a place like a little box that you can see them in, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-See-through, then? -Yes, definitely. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
So if you could pick three things that are most important to you... | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
One of them would be | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
a nice comfy place for all our friends to be here, like a sofa | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
and...just to chill out. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
Somewhere so I can work. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
This desk is rubbish. It's got nothing. It's small and cramped. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
-Just to be somewhere where it's just our own space. -Yes. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
OK, girls, I think I've got a really good idea now | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
of the types of things you want in this room, | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
so are you ready to get your hands a bit dirty and start helping me out? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-Yeah. -Definitely. -Come on, then. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
First, Freya, Hattie and Michelle put on protective shirts. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
This design could get messy. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
So, girls, we're going to paint an outline of our design on the wall. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
As we're painting over this wall, it doesn't matter, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
but I don't want you two going paint crazy on any walls in this house. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-OK? -OK. -Let's get started. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
With the outline of the room complete, | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Michelle needs the girls' help to plan the layout. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
If the window's there, what have you got here? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Those two archway things. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
So do you want to paint in an arch each? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-Yep. -Just so we know where they are. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
It's good that you've got two different colours there, | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
because that gives us an idea - one could be Freya's | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
and one could be yours, Hattie. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-That's a really good idea. -That's a good idea, yes. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
I know how creative you both are, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
how you're so arts-and-craftsy, always making different things. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
How about having a type of wallpaper | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
which actually has sections that you can paint in, | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
that you can draw in, you can stick things on. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
-That's a brilliant idea! -It's a really good idea, yeah. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
So it would be your own custom-made wallpaper. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-So we could draw on it ourselves? -Exactly. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
But this design den | 0:09:03 | 0:09:04 | |
won't be complete without space for their biggest passions, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
Plasticine modelling and filmmaking. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
So, to get some ideas, | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Michelle is taking Freya and Hattie on a grand day out | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
to the National Media Museum, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
home to some of Britain's best-loved TV and film animated characters. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
This is amazing. It's just so real. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
It's so cute, and the little books, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
you just go, "Oh, wow!" | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
Michelle has organised for the girls | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
to make an animated film of their own, | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
so she can see for herself | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
the best way to incorporate these hobbies into their design den. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
So you have to decide what kind of hair you want on them, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
whether it's a boy or a girl. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
What do you think you'll have? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
I think it's going to look good. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
The girls have had practise | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
making their own models, but they've never made them move. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
So with lights, camera and a laptop, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
it's a chance to bring their characters to life. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
Whoo! | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
And after all their hard work, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
they watch the finished film. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
- Ah, that's brilliant! - Yeah? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
-Awesome. I like the way the tears came out. -That's brilliant. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
This has given me a really, really good idea | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
for something to incorporate into their room. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
They're so enthusiastic about this. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
I'm hoping I can make it work. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
-The animation workshop... -Was brilliant! | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
The animation workshop's been a hit, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
and Michelle knows it's something she must include in the design den, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
so while she finalises the girls' room design, | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
it's time to get things started back at the house. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Yes! | 0:10:55 | 0:10:56 | |
First job is emptying the room | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
so they can start turning it into their design den, | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
so Freya and Hattie need to make sure Mum clears everything out. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
And they don't have any time to waste. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
Right, Mum, we want this mess cleaned up! | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Mum's dressed for the part, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
but she's on a go-slow. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Stop time-wasting. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:16 | |
So Freya and Hattie have got big sister Ella in to help. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
Yeah, brilliant. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
-Ella, stop time wasting! -No joking around. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Where do you want him? | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
Shush! Stop talking! | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |
We don't have all day. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
Mum can stack her stuff up for now, but later she'll have to work out | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
what she wants to keep, give to charity, or recycle. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-You're doing all right, aren't you? -Well done, Mum. -Thank you, Freya. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
Oh, the... | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-Jenga's gone. -Was that me? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
I think Mum's bottom might have knocked Jenga over. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Oh, this is cool, isn't it? | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
This is like a kind of 70s hippie gear, isn't it? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
SITAR MUSIC | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Peace and love, man. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:57 | |
We have got a few helpers. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
Show a bit of love for the Mum, OK, and the old sister, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-and shall we get some people in to help them out? -Yes. -Yeah. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
Good decision, girls. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
This is a big job, so the I Want My Own Room team knuckle down | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
to get the room cleared. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
With the room now empty, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
Michelle is keen to get the girls' approval on the final design. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
Girls, looking at this room, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
can you believe how big it looks without anything in it? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
-Amazing. -It's really big. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
-Shall we have a look? -Yes. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:26 | |
This is kind of the basic layout of the room, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
and the main thing you girls have spoken about | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
is wanting your individual space, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
so we've got alcove one | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
and alcove two, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
and these are going to be assigned to each of you. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
I think it'll be really great, | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
cos we've never had our own thing, we've always had to share. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
You also mentioned you want the room to be really comfortable, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
so here we're going to have a kind of special seating area. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
We're going to have customised wallpaper, | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
so they can get stuck in writing on the wall. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
That should be a bit of fun too. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:02 | |
-Are you excited about, girls? -Yeah, really excited. -There's no words. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
So Freya and Hattie have no space to get creative, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
but we've seen the potential in the front room, | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
and have convinced Mum to hand over the house keys. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
The girls have got animated over their design ideas. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
That clutter-filled room has been cleared. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
But there's still a lot to do | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
before the girls get the design den of their dreams. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
It's day two, and there's lots to do. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
As Freya and Hattie are in charge, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
it's down to them to get this building party started. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
There's work to be done! | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
-I hereby declare this room ready to be designed. -Let the work begin. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
It's a race against the clock to turn the front room into a den, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
so the girls are keeping a keen eye on the team. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
The girls are in their element. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Come on, keep working, no chit-chatter. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
Telling a load of adults what to do. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
They're as happy as Larry. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:00 | |
-Mum? -Mum? -What are you doing? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
Girls, is it OK if I go to the loo? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
OK, maybe just this time. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-Thank you. -Just this time. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
# Girls, girls who won the world | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
# Girls, girls who won the world | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
# Girls, girls who won the world... # | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-BOTH: -We rule! | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
The girls have given Mum the job of putting up the customised wallpaper. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
Meanwhile, they select some photographs they can add to it. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
Shall be start with photos of me and Hattie? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-Who's this? -Me. -Is that you? -Yeah, that's me. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
So cute! | 0:14:40 | 0:14:41 | |
-That's Freya. -That is brilliant. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
Things aren't going quite as smoothly in the front room. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
As Mum bumbles on, the girls carry on regardless. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
That was my favourite fairy dress ever. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
At this rate, there'll be no wallpaper to put the photos on. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
I may have just ripped this. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Luckily for Mum, there's help at hand. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
So the girls and Michelle take a look at their handiwork. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
What do you think? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:15 | |
You've missed a bit, but apart from that it's brilliant. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
-What do you reckon? Shall we get on with personalising it? -Definitely. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
What do you think, Freya? | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
Ha-ha, brilliant. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
With a whole wall of the special paper, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-they can add pictures and photos for years to come. -That looks great. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-Are you having fun, girls? -Yeah. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
Gimme five, girls. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
I'm loving your work. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
As the work continues in the front room, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
Michelle has a creative treat for the girls. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
I have brought along | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
some very special material | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
with some people you might recognise. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
Oh! | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Oh, that's so cute. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
So what we're going to do is make some cushion covers. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
GIRLS GIGGLE | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
And these are going to be put | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
-in your brand-new room later on. -Yay! | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
Michelle has used photos of the family cats, | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
Lola and Rose, to create images | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
that will be purr-fect for the seating area of their design den. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
Are you excited? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
It's so good. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:22 | |
If you want to make your own cushions, you could use any image. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
Cats, dogs, or what about Grandma? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
So we can see that kind of fits... | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
fits the shape of the cushion. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
Most high-street or online photo shops | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
can print your pictures onto material. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
Once you've cut out the picture... | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Great, so you've got your shape. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
..Sew it together. You can hand-sew or use a machine. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
And stuff them. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
Yay! | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Double cat complete. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
Hmm, I might make one of those myself later. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
-Shall we go and put them inside? -Yep. -Definitely. -Come on, then. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
And it looks like I'm not the only fan. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
"Oh, I'm so amazing, look at me!" | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
As day two draws to a close, there's still a lot to be done | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
and the I Want My Own Room team worked late into the night. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
It's day three and Michelle wants to keep some details a surprise, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
so from now on, the girls won't see the room. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
But they're confident she knows what they want. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
We've already told her stuff that we like. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
So how can she get it wrong? | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
No pressure then, Michelle? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
The girls want mum to sort through the clutter from the front room. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
We want this mess cleaned up! | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
There's no space in the house, so she's been sent to the town hall. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Mom has to work out what she wants to keep, give to charity or junk. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
It looks like this could take some time. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Where do I start? | 0:17:51 | 0:17:52 | |
Argghh! | 0:17:54 | 0:17:55 | |
As mum trawls through the stuff, back at the house | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
Michelle has rescued some material from the front room, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
to make some fun, fabric doorstops. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
This is the first bit, this is going to be the head. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
So you got a nice big monster head. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
You've got your shapes drawn on the material, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
all you need to do next is cut them out. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-Yay, I cut it all out! -well done! | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
I did it. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:23 | |
Is mum being as productive? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
Look, a broken egg cup. That might come in handy. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
-OK, this is the sewing bit. -Don't go too fast. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
Yay. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
Pebble. Some dead butterflies. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:46 | |
This is the heavy duty bit, a bag of sand. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
The best thing to do is put it in little sandwich bags | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
and then put it into your doorstop. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
Otherwise there might be tiny little holes in the material | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
and then it'll just leak everywhere. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
I don't think that's going to get any more in. If I'm honest. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
It's looking brilliant. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
What has mum decided she's going to throw away? | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
I'm going to throw these things. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
An old glove and a bit of scrap paper. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
These colourful characters can be used to keep | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
the door open, or closed if they want to keep out unwanted mums. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Over at the town hall, Mum has roped Ella in to help | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
and still isn't making much progress. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
It's time for me and the girls to check up on them. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Hello Ella and mum. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
I think we're doing quite well. I'm being quite hard. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
It doesn't look like it. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
OK, this is our box of remote controls. One, two, three... | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
There are on average four remote controls per household | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
in the UK and that means there are about 104 million remote controls in Britain. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
That's a lot of channel hopping. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
They might come in handy. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
All going in the junk. Bye, remote controls. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
It's obvious Mum needs a little help, | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
and while she's not enjoying sorting all this stuff, | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
I love a good rummage. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-Do you think it suits me? This is quite this season. -Turn around. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
What's your favourite food? "Sausages". Why are the sausages doing the can-can? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
What else would you have in a cookery book? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
Back at the house, it's all go | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
and Michelle's special seating area is starting to take shape. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:36 | |
Meanwhile, with the girls in charge, the family motor through, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
with Freya and Hattie only allowing mum to keep a small amount to go back to the house. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
The rest is for charity and recycling. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
I'm glad it's done. I could do with a nice cup of tea now. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
-Are you pleased with what you've seen so far? -Yes. We made progress. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:59 | |
I know the room is going to be really good. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Everything has gone to plan, it's brilliant. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
It's the end of day three, | 0:21:04 | 0:21:05 | |
but the work is far from over for the I Want My Own Room team, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
as they work into the night. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
OWL HOOTS | 0:21:12 | 0:21:13 | |
HAMMERING AND DRILLING | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
It's the morning of the final day and it's all hands on deck. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
Including mine! | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
Voila! | 0:21:24 | 0:21:25 | |
Michelle, it's the last day, it's all got to be done. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
Are you confident it'll happen? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:29 | |
It has to, so I've just got to crack on with it. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
It's the last day and there's still so much to paint. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
It's easy enough painting it, but it just takes so much longer to dry. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
There's still things to install, hang up, | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
stick on, loads of different things. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Some of the things left to hang are Michelle's solution to | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
Freya and Hattie's request to be able to display their Plasticine models. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
Michelle is using clear plastic domes and small lights, | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
so they have pride of place in a dazzling wall display. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
With the paint dry, | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
the pressure is on to get the finishing touches done. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
It just seems to be a never-ending list of things to do. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
I'm still remaining positive, but I am pretty stressed. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:13 | |
The pressure is really on! | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
There are shelves to go up, the alcoves need to be finished, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:20 | |
pictures, light and blinds have to be hung. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
-A nice pink blind, mate. -It's very pink, isn't it? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
And I'm on brew duty. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
I know I'm coming to disturb you, but strictly speaking, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:36 | |
-the deadline is in 15 minutes. -Yeah, I'll have to go like the clappers | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
to get things done in 15 minutes. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Not sure the girls can wait that long. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-Can't wait, can't wait. -I just want to run to the house and look. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
Don't rush back just yet, girls. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
The team still have to apply the finishing touches. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
And I have some finishing touches of my own. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
Now the wait is over, the girls can finally return home. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
So, the big moment has arrived. Hattie, how are you feeling? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
Ecstatic. I can't wait. I can't wait at all. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-How about you, Freya? -Get me in! | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
-Mum, I should ask you how you are as well? -I'm just desperate to see it. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
Freya, you have to give those keys back to your mum | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
because your mum is now in control again. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
Go on, hand them over. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
Thank you very...much! | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
Mum, do the honours, let us in the house. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
Are you excited? In you go! | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
THEY SQUEAL | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Just a few days ago, arts and crafts addicts Freya and Hattie | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
were creatively cramped in the clutter of the family's front room. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
But with the girls in charge, mum ditched the junk | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
and the I Want My Own Room team worked around the clock | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
to come up with the design den of Freya and Hattie's dreams. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
Michelle has given the girls their own individual workstations | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
so they can get creative without driving each other crazy. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
When not busy making and doing, | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
they can hang out with friends in the comfy corner they'd wanted. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
After seeing how much fun Freya and Hattie had | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
at the animation Workshop, | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
Michelle has a special surprise with a unique area | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
for them to make their own model movies. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
Under the girls' guidance, | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
Michelle has made what she hopes is a perfect design den for them | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
but does it have that all-important wow factor? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
No peeking, no peeking! | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
-OK, are you ready? -Yes! | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
Three, two, one. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
What you think? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
-This is the best room I've ever seen. -Ever! -Look! | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
We've put some of the Plasticine models you've made, displayed them. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
There's the bed so your friends can chill out | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
and maybe stay over on there. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
Now then, are you ready? All you have to do is... | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
..that! | 0:25:35 | 0:25:36 | |
That's amazing! | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
And THAT is an animation station. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
It's got everything. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
This is the best thing ever. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving! | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
-You both wanted your own individual workstations, didn't you? -Yeah. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
Freya, this one is yours. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
You pull this out. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
And you've got... a sewing machine. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
And you can do your sewing there. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
Hattie, you got one very similar over there. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
I'm going to explode in a minute, seriously. This is amazing. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
-Oh, thank you so much. -Do you love it? | 0:26:22 | 0:26:27 | |
What will mum and Ella make of the changes in the front room? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
Oh my God! | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
Is it what you expected? | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
No, I didn't know what to expect. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
I knew it was not going to be not expectedable - is that a word? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:42 | |
It is now! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:43 | |
-Michelle, thank you so much. -I just want to cuddle you! | 0:26:43 | 0:26:50 | |
This room is the best thing that has ever happened to me. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
This room is amazing! | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
What I initially thought was going to be really straightforward | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
soon became really challenging. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
But the team cracked it, | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
turning a horrible old room into a beautiful design den. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
I think Freya and Hattie are two of the happiest girls I've ever seen. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
We look in magazines, we look in things like that, | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
we wished, we wished we had a room like that. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
And what did we get? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
BOTH: A room like that. It was amazing! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
It's absolutely beautiful, absolutely brilliant. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:29 | |
I love it, absolutely love it. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
BOTH: We got our own room! | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
Oh, it's so cute! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
Keep working, no chitter chatter! | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
Telling a load of adults what to do? There're as happy as Larry! | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
-Voila! -It's brilliant! | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
