I Heart Kerry Layton
One of my dear students, Geraldine Tan, visited this past weekend from London and gave me the most beautiful assortment of presents wrapped beautifully in Liberty paper. There was one very special gift that I instantly fell in love with – a print by English artist Kerry Layton who lives in North London. Geraldine picked it up for me while attending a recent exhibition by Kerry. For now it will sit on my gray cabinet in my work room to give me wonderful thoughts of Geraldine each time I pass by…
Later, I hope to have it framed because a print so lovely deserves a special spot on my wall. Thank you Geraldine for such a thoughtful and spot-on present!
By the way, Kerry has a beautiful Etsy shop called Seventy Tree in case you’d like to take a peek…

A beautiful print. But equally lovely is your grey cabinet – where is that from or did you paint it yourself? I love the clean, simple design.

@melissa: hello honey! :) I bought it at coming home interiors in Hannover where I live, I don’t know what the brand is though… It’s a vessel covered with heavy canvas in different colors.

I like the color combination of your image. The muted colors with the pink and yellow of the birds.

I love this print. So much. I love the simplicity of it. But I love the over all color scheme of all of this! I’ll have to check out her Esty store. :)

What a sweet gift! While I do believe it deserves a frame – it looks so great right where it is. Can’t wait to check out Kerry’s shop! I have been wanting to add some art to my Christmas list :)

Hi Holly, I love that birdcage light. I’ve been wanting something like that for a while. Where did you get yours? Beautiful cabinet too!
