This January, Pete Nelson is returning for another round of the Animal Planet series.

Grace VanderWaal’s second dream has come true!

The 13-year-old singer and ukulele player first stole viewers’ hearts when she won America’s Got Talent in 2016. Now her single wish upon receiving her accolade — an elaborate abode built by Treehouse Masters’ Pete Nelson — has been granted.

In this exclusive clip from the Animal Planet show, shared with People Now, VanderWaal lays eyes on her outdoor digs for the first time, and her reaction is truly too cute.

The 13-year-old singer and ukelele player Grace VanderWaal has a singular talent that won over viewers of America’s Got Talent in 2016, but it was her single wish upon winning the show (and receiving its $1 million prize) that caught the attention of Treehouse Masters host Pete Nelson.

Though she previously told People that she’ll be giving away some of her cash prize to a music charity, VanderWaal also wanted to splurge on a little something for herself: “I want to go on Treehouse Masters and I want to get a treehouse,” she said.

Love It or List It’s Hilary Farr and David Visentin agree to disagree on most things, but they’re undeniably on the same page when it comes to closets.

The Hgtv stars sound off on their design stances during a game of Interior Design: Would You Rather, and when challenged with the choice of having a spacious master bathroom or master closet, both agreed the latter is a necessity.

“Have to go with a closet,” Farr, 64, the interior design half of the TV duo, tells People. Visentin, 51, the show’s real estate pro, echoing her decision.

Love It or List It’s Hilary Farr and David Visentin aren’t married, but they still make for a pretty cute couple.

“It’s good. Even when he’s a pain, he’s more laid-back than I am,” says Farr, 64, the hit Hgtv series’ interior designer.

“That’s an understatement,” real estate agent Visentin, 51, adds.

Though they’ve played a vital role in each other’s lives since the show began in 2008, when they first crossed paths, Visentin didn’t exactly leave a memorable impression.

“She actually says she doesn’t even remember me from the audition,” Visentin recalls.

Brr, it’s cold in here!

Although some prefer to jet off to a sunny spot like Turks and Caicos or Miami for the winter season, there are others that opt for something a little chillier.

In this exclusive clip, Hotel Impossible host Anthony Melchiorri is exploring Sweden’s Icehotel for the holiday special Ice Hotels…Not Impossible, and for an abode made of literal frozen water, its amenities are pretty spectacular.

Melchiorri walks through one suite, which he says is “$1,000” a night.

“Now I know why,” he says of the room, titled “The Great Escape,” and meant to resemble a treehouse.

The cast of Treehouse Masters is decking the halls of a pretty spectacular gift!

A fort or treehouse is usually our first foray into breaking away from the family home. It offers a sense of autonomy, privacy and tranquility, with the security of the mother ship at the ready, nearby. A primal need is served when a magnificent treehouse is made for a child, or an adult. Today’s treehouses have gone full tilt boogie with the hard work of the number one treehouse designer and maker in the world, Pete Nelson. What’s wonderful about his work is he sees the beauty in reclaimed items, wood and fixtures – repurposed with flair and mindful of the...read more...

Pete Nelson and the boys of “Treehouse Masters” are back tonight, and their newest assignment is a pretty atypical one — even by this show’s standards. On Friday, the gang whips up a first: A dining room treehouse for a French-inspired restaurant in Utopia, Texas, per Animal Planet’s episodic description. Surrounded by fields of red poppies and nestled in a giant live oak tree, the soaring dining room will make guests feel like they’re eating in the countryside of Provence.

When Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley utters the phrase "there's no place like home," he's really not kidding.

Last October, the singer bought a treehouse-inspired home built into a mountainside and set on 32 acres outside of Nashville. And as if that isn't cool enough, Kelley and wife Brittney Marie decided to take living amongst the trees a little further.

Calling upon Pete Nelson of the Animal Planet show Treehouse Masters, the couple added a two-story "modern treehouse" to the property, complete with a recording studio, living room and master suite – and it all connects to their home via a breezeway.

With the weather heating up and everyone running for the outdoors, what better way to celebrate summer than watching visionary designer Pete Nelson create private escapes in the sky.

On Friday's episode (10/9c, Animal Planet), Pete meets with a Scottish couple in Tulsa who are avid gardeners and want a treetop cottage that honors their heritage. For the perfect look, Pete and his team create custom hanging flower baskets, interior cubbies for storing gardening tools, and a whole lot of tartan. The resulting floating garden cottage is nothing short of mesmerizing.

After three episodes, Animal Planet’s new series Treehouse Masters has become a Friday night hit for the network, even though it would appear to have little to do with animals. Treehouse Masters follows Pete Nelson as he designs private escapes for people who wish to reconnect with nature and perhaps awaken their inner child through treehouses they only could have dreamed of in their youth — some even including functional plumbing and electricity. Nelson has a team of designers and carpenters helping him out, including his son Charlie. Additionally, Pete and his wife, Judy, and daughter, Emily, own and operate [...]

Chris and Nicole Staab love to go to Ireland and travel there as often as they can. But now there's a problem. If they head to the Emerald Isle, they have to leave their backyard behind -- along with the the magical bit of Erin perched in the branches of their gnarled olive tree.

On Friday (June 7), Animal Planet's "Treehouse Masters" premieres the "Luck O' the Irish Cottage," in which treehouse builder Pete Nelson and his crew have created a Celtic-themed treehouse amid the palm trees of Southern California's Orange County.

A stairway leads up to the round house, which features a peat fireplace, photos from the Staabs' Irish holidays and a tea set -- a particular hit with the Staabs' toddler son.

"He''s loving the teacups," says Chris Staab. "He walks around and takes a sip out of every single cup."

The Staabs had thoughts about what they...

Zap2it: How did a New Jersey kid who grew up fascinated with working with wood become fascinated with building treehouses in particular?

Pete Nelson: At 25, I got a note from my buddy I went to high school with. He included this book that David Stiles wrote, which is great illustrations of how to build forts and treehouses, kid stuff. There were great illustrations of Dad in the backyard with his kids.

I said, "I forgot about treehouses. I love treehouses. I've got a tree in my backyard." I suddenly became obsessed at 25 with treehouses, so I went and built one in my backyard.

Zap2it: What was that first one like?

Pete Nelson: It was this tiny, 4-by-6-foot, with a cute little door going in. It had a fireplace inside, a real brick fireplace. I would work on it, and my wife would yell, "Get in here.
