diy mood board! - Avery Huia

helloooo there!

for today's diy post, I found the inspiration to do moodboard from instagram, which I am constantly finding amazing photos and projects on! it's pretty straight forward, but I thought that it would be fun for you to see the pictures and things that I used and I hope you get some inspiration from my one! I am so happy with how it turned out and when I look at it I get lots of ideas, from styling my room to colour schemes and fashion!

you will need:

+ frame (a4 or smaller)

+ scissors 

+ washi tape 

+ glue stick

+ magazines

+ 1 sheet pf a4 paper

start by leafing through the magazines and choosing a colour scheme or theme, and find pages and pictures which you think will match and go together. I chose a bright and colourful theme, with lots of different shades, but I still made sure that they all flowed.

with the backing of your frame, cut the a4 piece of paper to fit it if you need to. once you have found your photos and have cut them all out, place them on the piece of paper and arrange them until you have found a layout that suits you, making sure you have covered the white paper entirely. don't be afraid to overlap pictures and crop parts out of them to make room for other cut outs. 

once you have your perfect arrangement, remember to take a picture of it so you remember how it looks before you glue it all on! after I glued everything on, I added some washi tape on top of the pictures to make them look like they have been stuck on, and I thought that it gave a really cool pop of colour, and added texture to the mood board! 

here is my finished project! I am so happy with how it turned out, and it really gave my room a pop of colour and makes me feel good! I put some room decor and styling, some pillows and blankets, Emma Stone and Taylor Swift, some bold words, and A, H and a B, for Avery Huia's Blog, and some other pictures that I thought were really cool and pretty!

desk organisation - avery huia

hello lovely people! 

today i have a post about desk organisation! i really like being organised and these things help me to, and also look super cute! 

first, i printed out a calendar for august, and put it inside a clear file, and pinned it up on my pinboard and decorated it with cute stickers and wrote down my activities and event for the month! this is super easy but really effective, and helps you stay organised and looks really cute and simplistic. 

i also pinned up a cute piece of lace at the bottom of my board, and clipped up some stickers and hung a string with my washi tapes on it. this is so cool because i use these two things a lot, and instead of storing them away, they are right in front of me when i need them!

i also re used a bag from the body shop and took off the handles and rolled down the top to create a replica uashmama bag. it is so handy to just throw bits and bobs into, and looks really cool too!

these are really easy things to do to help you stay organised, and they make such a difference to your way of working and are real time savers! hope you enjoyed! 

lots of love x

Room Tour - Avery Huia

helloooo! i hope you are all having a good day xx

it has been quite a while since i did my last room tour, and i have changed my room quite a bit since then, so i thought that it was time to do another one! 

this is the area around my bed and bedside table. i've changed my room to a black, white and turquoise kind of colour scheme, but with pops of colour here and there. 

duvet and white pillows - wallace cotton

black and white pillows - left one from farmers, the right one was made by my mum

photo frames - the warehouse

paper lanterns - homemade

here is one of my shelf boxes, featuring few books, terrariums a mist, a money box and little jewellery holder

this is the area on top of my drawers, and it has a storage box thingy from the warehouse, and i like to keep things like body butter, my hairbrush, rings, jewellery and phone cases in it. on the other side of the table i have some polaroids, candles and flowers.

 this is my pinboard, and the print is the same as the pillow on my bed, and we got the material from spotlight. i have photo of a world map, and on it i put pins on places that i've been, and dots on places that i want to go one day. 

i really hope you enjoyed this!

lots of love from avery huia xxx

Easy & Effective Ways to Decorate Your Room! - Avery Huia

Hellooooo!

Over the past few weeks I have been changing up my room a bit, and I thought that I should share some easy tips and tricks to giving your room a mini and inexpensive makeover!



If you have read my Room Tour post, (I suggest taking a look at it before you carry on with this) then you will have seen that my ben was against my wall and in a corner, and my bedside table wasn't actually at my bedside. Since my bed is the largest movable thing in my room, moving that would have lots of impact. I shifted it into the middle of my room, which I really like, and I then moved my table next to the bed. I got inspiration for decorating the top of the bedside from a youtube video by mylifeaseva and she had a DIY in the video. She created a inspiration frame to put somewhere where you could see it everyday. I went on pinterest and found a few quotes that I really loved and want to live by, and put them together on PicMonkey, and printed it out, put a coloured paper background on it and set it in a frame next to my bed.

On my desk, I have a pen and pencil holder, a SugarBaby hand cream, a file holder with a book by the store Superette and a really pretty card that I was given, along with a small notepad. I have a owl shaped piggy bank and a Rubix Cube to play with if I'm not doing anything. 

Above my bed I have some lanterns and paper flowers hanging from the roof and I think they make such a difference and I love them and they give a really nice feeling to the room! 

Lastly, above my desk I have two hanging pencil cups and I thought that they look really cool if the pencils were in the cups in hot and cold organisation. I think it is a fun and great way to stay organised!

Lots of Love, Avery Huia xxx

Halloween Room Decor! - Avery Huia

Kia Ora! As it is getting closer to Halloween, I thought that to get into the spirit, I would decorate my room! We were just down in Palmerston North, so on the way, we stopped to get a few pumpkins! Recently I have also done a DIY luminous candle holder, that I got from the YouTube channel, Brooklyn and Bailey! You can find the link to the video here. I also got some of my things that I used daily, and that were also Orange, and put them in my little bucket with things like body butter and perfume spray. We also picked up some spider webs and a lolly bucket as well! I put everything together on my dressing table, and I think it looks really cool! I hope you get a few ideas from this! Love from Avery Huia xxx
