A slightly unusual Coulson Macleod loves today.

Whilst per­us­ing Pin­terest we came across this quite spec­tac­u­lar bath­room sink, which we re-pinned. As you do.

seven-foot-long carved marble trough sink

Only to real­ise that the sink belongs to Kevin Roberts, CEO World­wide of Saat­chi & Saat­chi. Who just hap­pens to be our most reg­u­lar & most loyal cus­tomer. And a vocal sup­porter of Coulson Macleod.

Kevin (we like to think we’re on first name terms) jets around the world lead­ing an inter­na­tional team of more than 7000 cre­at­ive people in eighty-two coun­tries. So when he needed a quiet retreat in New York he called upon archi­tect Sam Trimble, who was work­ing on a com­mis­sion for Robert De Niro. We do like a bit of name-dropping.

Trimble (we’re not on first name terms) designed Kevin a 600-square-metre cave-like loft in the heart of Tribeca, just steps from ground zero and a nine-minute walk to his office. With no guest bed­rooms or kit­chen as only eats out appar­ently, this is a place designed by Kevin for Kevin.

Kevin didn’t want a lot of art to dis­tract him, apart from a large Sean Landers piece that he com­mis­sioned (see the pho­tos below). We like to think he dis­plays Coulson Macleod art in his fam­ily home in New Zealand.

teak din­ing chairs & a 12-foot-long table

Large lime­stone slabs (impor­ted from Por­tugal) line the floors & walls. No doors, Just gaps in the lime­stone. Oh, and there’s no light switches, taps, or door handles either.

the pool holds 375 gal­lons of water & has a blue-granite floor

Which just goes to show that Coulson Macleod cus­tom­ers have great taste.

Today Coulson Macleod loves Hendy’s Home Store.

Hendy’s Home Store, Hastings

No, this is not an old pho­to­graph. It’s a shop. That’s selling its wares right now.

Cre­ated by chef & pho­to­grapher Alastair Hendy (pic­tured above in staff uni­form), Hendy’s Home Store in Hast­ings, East Sus­sex, is like nowhere else, in this cen­tury at least.

Hendy’s Home Store, Hastings

Selling both old & new util­it­arian products for the home, all of which are simple and func­tional, Hendy’s Home Store is loc­ated in a three-storey Geor­gian town house, the res­tor­a­tion of which took three years.

Right, a trip to Hast­ings it is then.

Thought you’d like to know that these oak-framed ‘Dec­ades’ prints have been added to our Clear­ance Page.

‘The Eighties’ oak-framed print by Coulson Macleod

There are five Coulson Macleod ‘Dec­ades’ prints to choose, start­ing with ‘The Six­ties’ right up to ‘The Noughties’.

Each typo­graphic print fea­tures a chunky hand­made rough-sawn solid oak frame that sur­rounds a white-washed oak panel prin­ted with dis­tressed text.

We pur­pose­fully retain any defects in the oak to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. These can include knot holes, warps and water marks, so each frame is totally unique.

The print is ready for you to hang.

Our ‘Dec­ades’ prints are also avail­able in a recycled-paper ver­sion (although not on our Clear­ance Page).

‘The Nineties’ recycled-paper print by Coulson Macleod

These paper prints are avail­able unframed (as shown) or framed by hand by pro­fes­sional Fine Arts Guild framers.

39 boards, over 3,000 pins & count­ing — Coulson Macleod has fallen in love with Pinterest.

Come over and fol­low us on Pin­terest.

Here’s a few recent per­son­al­ised prints that we’ve cre­ated for our customers…

Today Coulson Macleod loves this con­ver­ted leather factory…

Designed and dec­or­ated by Lyn Gardener of Gardener & Marks, Res­id­en­tial Mel­bourne 424 has been cre­ated in a former leather fact­ory warehouse.

Huge rooms & high ceil­ings. Doors have been relo­cated from old man­sions. Indus­trial fit­tings sourced from dis­used factor­ies. 38 fact­ory pendant lights hang through­out the loft. The indus­trial island in the kit­chen was an old shoe fact­ory work­bench. Recycled vin­tage. Very Coulson Macleod.

New in the Coulson Macleod shop today…

Typo­graphic art on salvaged pal­let wood.

Dis­tressed (very Coulson Macleod) hand-stamped typo­graphy prin­ted on to a hand­made (again, very Coulson Macleod) frame made from salvaged pal­let wood.

The hand­made frame (made from salvaged ship­ping pal­lets, so very eco-friendly) is roughly hand-painted white. And of course we pur­pose­fully retain any defects in the wood to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. These can include nail holes, knot holes, warps and water marks, so each frame is totally unique.

Yes, Coulson Macleod has finally made it onto Pin­terest. Come & check out our boards.

Oh, and we’ve also added Pin It but­tons on our web­site too, so if you see a piece of art you love, please feel free to pin it.

Today Coulson Macleod loves Jonny Donovan.

If we were going to hire a wed­ding pho­to­grapher then we’d ser­i­ously con­sider Jonny for his blend of drama & candour…
