make my motivation picture wall with me! | Vlog

In this July 2020 vlog, Tilly Lockey walks viewers through a DIY project to replace a world map on her bedroom wall with a collage of motivational prints. She explains her inspiration—seeing picture walls in home tours—and her goal of creating a daily visual boost. Tilly orders the prints from Snapfish, selects a pink‑black‑white‑gold colour scheme, and gathers Blu‑Tack after a lengthy, socially‑distanced queue at a shop. While waiting, she comments on the easing of COVID‑19 restrictions and observes others ignoring distancing rules. Back home, she removes the map, cuts the printed quotes and photos, and arranges them on the wall, noting the layout is slightly slanted. Family members give feedback, and Tilly reflects on the aesthetic outcome, offering advice for viewers who might try a similar project. The video ends with a typical call‑to‑action for likes, comments, and subscriptions.

Hi everyone, it's Tilly.
Welcome back to my YouTube channel.
Please ignore my hair for the duration of this video. I put a little bit of curling spray on it, but not as much as I usually would, and I didn't sit scrunching it for 3 hours after I came out the shower, so it's just on a bit of a mad one today. Please ignore it. But today I am going to be decorating my wall over there where I have the map and I'm gonna be replacing that with a bunch of pictures that are just really motivating. And I've been watching a lot of home tours, and a lot of people have these really cool picture walls, and I just kind of wanted to recreate one in my own house because I just feel like you wake up every day and then you can see it, and it just kind of motivates you to get on with the day and actually get out your bed. So I thought it'd be a really, really great idea to take you along with me right now. I have got all the pictures. I ordered them off Snapfish. And they've all came. I'm really happy with them all. Um, so I don't know if I'm gonna be able to fill the full wall, but I do need to go get some Blu Tack first so I can actually stick them on the wall. So that's what I'm gonna go do now. I hope you enjoyed this video, and I'm gonna take you along with me.
Do you want pink tuck or blue tuck?
We'll get the one that's the same price, says 50% extra.
Cool.
So we're in the queue. So we're in the queue and it's about, say, about a mile long. So yeah, 2-meter difference, everyone.
Okay, hello everybody, I'm now finally back. It is literally now quarter past 5 PM. We were out for such a long time, like I just wanted some Blu Tack and like different things things like that. Um, my mom wanted some other things. We got quite a lot, but then we had to sit in the queue in the rain for literally about an hour. So yeah, we left at about maybe 12, 1-ish, and then came back at 5 PM.
So that's fun.
Um, in the shop, of course, we were sticking to social distancing rules and everything, and that's what made the queue like look so long. The queue was literally wrapped around the whole entire shop. I'm not even kidding. And everybody was like 2 meters apart. We were completely respecting this rule, but the people behind us— I need to rant for a little bit because, um, they were definitely look like 2 different households and they were like directly next to each other. And even if they were a full family, they were not respecting the 2-meter rule because we were being so respectful to the people in front of us. We were staying literally like ages away, we could literally have a coughing fit and nothing would ever touch them. Like, I could lie down about 4 times and we would not have been touching them. Um, but these people were literally right on top of us, to the point where they were literally brushing against like the things that we were holding. We were like, um, okay, that doesn't seem like 2 meters to me personally. Um, but I mean, we were trying to kind of have to find a happy medium where we didn't want to obviously touch anybody else. We were trying to stay 2 meters away, but these people were literally on top of us. So yeah, uh, this is July 4th when I'm filming this, and it's the first day that all the restaurants and everything have been opening. The lockdown has been eased massively today. Everything's open again, like you can get your hair cut, everything like that. So it's just kind of worrying just to see how everybody's treating that. Like, you still need to respect that rule and everything. Everybody just seems to be queuing outside of pubs ready to get the pints, which I don't know, it just seems a bit selfish for me. Like, just, you need to think about other people, you know what I mean? Not just you getting your beer. And I feel like that's all a lot of people think, like, yes, I can finally get me beer at the pub, when it's not really like that. So yeah, these people were not socially distancing, and we were staying as far away from everyone as possible. I totally respect that rule, and I hope you are too, because we do not want a second wave of this. I think I speak for a lot more people than myself. But anyway, I'm gonna get on with this and start doing my wall because by the time I finish it'll probably be like dark and I'm still having to film. So yeah, let's get on with that.
So this is the map that my new pictures are gonna be replacing. Everybody had some things to say about this map when I first filmed the video with it. Everybody was saying like the proportions were off and that like the north was bigger than the south or something, and it looked just a bit weird.
To be honest, I never noticed it, but I don't know the map too too well. I definitely need to brush up on that a little bit more. But yeah, I'm still gonna have it.
I'm still gonna scratch off places that I've been, but I just think, um, it was triggering some people. Plus I think it would just be a nicer background to have, so we're gonna remove it. Bye, map!
And we have a blank wall now, ready for all my pictures to go on. I got all of my prints from Snapfish. Fish, not sponsored, but I did it there because it was my first time ever ordering some pictures online. Usually I like print them out in booths or something, but that's actually quite expensive, so I think I'll always go online now. They have like a bargain on, a discount on when it's your first time buying and ordering some pictures online, so I used the code that they give you and I kind of went for the pink, black, white, gold color scheme, which sounds like a lot of colors now I'm saying out loud, but the truth is I don't really know what aesthetic I like right now. I'm kind of being a little bit adventurous, but I'm hoping it will still look great on the wall and it will all like mesh together. But I'm going to show you some of the prints that I have got.
So here's for an idea of what I got. So I've got like just some nice quotes like happiness looks gorgeous on you, coffee in the morning, playlist on my phone, friends around me, families that love me, soothing breeze, sunshine and moonlight, a healthy body, a good book, and a warm bed. Because that just is exactly what I want right now. Some of Paris though, because Paris is beautiful and I've only ever been at Disneyland Paris, but I would love to go to Paris. Just a lot of like, like on a plane, like an airplane traveling type things. I think happy thoughts, just a reminder, good vibes, all this kind of stuff. And I just feel like when you wake up and you see that on your wall, it'll just motivate you to get on with your day.
I've got some of me and my friends and family, everything like that.
So I'm really excited to put it all on my wall and see what happens. Excuse my hand just lying on the desk. I have already cut a few of these up, but I have the scissors next to me to cut the rest of them because I kind of wanted to show you— oh, I've got mascara up there— I kind of wanted to show you how I actually cut because I can. I recently discovered that I can actually use just like them type of scissors, which are literally made for fingers. So I'm going to show you how I do that while cutting some of the things out. Now I've got everything cut out, it is time to stick it on the wall. Alexa, play some tunes.
Here's a playlist you might like. Student favorites.
So here is my wall complete, um, with the pictures that I have. Um, I don't think it looks that bad, to be honest. I think it looks really nice. I haven't like covered the full wall and all the way to the ceiling and all the way to the floor because I don't have enough pictures for that. But I don't really know, like, I could leave at that. I don't know if I will go all the way down. I'll get my mom's opinion on it because she is like the creative one in the family and she'll know exactly what to do. But here's my wall. And my new background for some of my videos. Here it is. I've got some pictures of like friends, family, cousin, and, um, a quite aesthetically pleasing wall, if I do say so myself. I'm quite proud. So here it is from where I film videos. That looks a little bit slanted to me. Is that just me?
Okay, I think it's a little bit slanted. Um, so I just stuck all that on for nothing because I'm gonna have to make it straight again because otherwise that's gonna just drive me insane. But I'm not gonna film all that again because, I mean, do you really want to watch me do that?
Not really. But here's my wall. Imagine it's straight, okay? And I think it looks really cute. I think it looks really nice.
I think—
I don't know, as I said, I don't know if I'll do the full thing.
I think it would look quite cool if I did though, so we'll have to see.
But yeah, here's my wall.
I hope you like it. Um, it's just full of things that I love— nice quotes, neon signs, I don't know, stuff that kind of like stuck out to me on Pinterest. And now I feel like my room could be like in on the Pinterest rooms.
Yeah, I really like it. You can't see my wall. Ew! What do you think?
It's lovely.
It's very rose gold. Goes well with your room, doesn't it?
But this is my wall.
Is it straight?
I know, that's what I was thinking. I think it's a little bit like slanted.
I think it's going that way, isn't it?
Me too.
Would you say I do the full wall like that or not?
Oh my God, I love it, Tilly.
You totally could do.
Yeah, you definitely need Straighten it though.
I know.
Oops.
Oh, I like that one. Happiness look gorgeous on you. That's so cute.
So Mom approves, I approve. I really love how it turned out. I think it looks great. Like, if anybody's thinking about doing this in their own room, I definitely recommend it because, I mean, I think that is such a much nicer, like, view from my bed to wake up to and see that. It's just a bunch of nice quotes, like, outside of an airplane because I love traveling.
And all things like that. I just think it's really pretty, so I think it's really nice.
So if you're thinking of doing it, I definitely recommend just get the things that really inspire you. It doesn't even have to be this color scheme. It can be like red, you can have like a bougie color scheme, blues, purples, like literally whatever. So yeah, I definitely recommend it. So I think this was a massive success except from the fact that it's completely wonk-sided—
what do you call it—
lopsided, wonky. There was two of them mixed together. It's completely lopsided to like one side to this side, so yeah, that's not great. But I'm going to sort that out in the morning because right now I'm starving and I'm not about to take all my hard work down and like redo it because I just don't fancy it right now. But I really hope you enjoyed this video.
Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe if you did.
Let me know if you're going to do something similar to this in your room. I would love to hear it. And what kind of vibe you're going for, let me know down below. Um, let me know down below. Um, but right now I'm gonna go and get some food. Hope you all liked it, and I hope to see you all next time.
Bye!
