Merry Christmas

Friday, December 24th, 2010

We at Coulson Macleod would just like to wish you all a very merry Christmas.

As 2010 draws to an end, it’s time for us to reflect back on one truly amaz­ing year.

We’ve met and made so many won­der­ful friends: Coulson Macleod cus­tom­ers; friends on Face­book; Twit­ter; and of course read­ers of this blog. You’re all so kind and loyal and supportive. Thank you for tak­ing the time to read our posts, leave com­ments, and spread the love.

So, thank you.

We have lots up our sleeves for next year. Think big and aim high, so they say. And as always we’ll share it with you, even if, some­times, we get it wrong.

Merry Christ­mas.

Coulson Macleod.

Coulson Macleod Spotted On TV

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

A funny thing happened last night. As Coulson and I were enjoy­ing din­ner with friends our phones star­ted beep­ing with incom­ing texts “you’re on TV!”

Yes, one of Coulson Macleod’s typo­graphic prints had been spot­ted on Chan­nel 4’s celebrity Christ­mas spe­cial of Come Dine With Me.

As usual the pro­gramme brought together a strange mix of folk. There was the DJ Gol­die (pic­tured below), 70s crooner Tony Christie, ex-Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis (who’s now bet­ter known for being mother of singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor), and act­ress Susie Amy (best known as Chardon­nay from TV-show Foot­ballers’ Wives).

So can you guess in which home our art was spotted?

Susie Amy’s.

Coulson Macleod Is Published

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

We men­tioned in a pre­vi­ous post that our typo­graphic art had been pub­lished. So of course we imme­di­ately went to Amazon and bought the design book, which is called 1,000 More Greetings.

And here it is, our copy…

1,000 More Greet­ings by Rock­port Publishers

1,000 More Greet­ings by Rock­port Publishers

It’s a great book, even if we weren’t in it. There’s some fab­ulous cre­at­ive work, and we’re in exceed­ingly good com­pany. Donna Karan and Anthro­po­lo­gie show­case their designs. And one whole page ded­ic­ated to a little UK-based art busi­ness mak­ing waves glob­ally. Yep! Coulson Macleod. Need­less to say we are giddy with excitement.

If you fancy own­ing a copy you can buy it from Amazon.

show­cas­ing Coulson Macleod’s ‘Paris’ print

We fell in love with the sim­pli­city of the shot: plain white sheets; old trunk; wooden bed; Paris. Lots of tex­ture, gor­geous light­ing. So very simple. So very Coulson Macleod.

And we couldn’t do this blog post without men­tion­ing two of our favourites…

We fell in love with the warmth and cosi­ness of this fest­ive liv­ing room. We want to snuggle up on their sofa in front of the roar­ing log fire with a glass of mulled wine.

show­cas­ing Coulson Macleod’s lim­ited edi­tion ‘P.S. I Love You’ print

And this one just totally reflects the cool sim­pli­city of Scand­inavian chic: white-washed paneled walls; indus­trial light; P.S. I Love You. Beau­ti­fully styled.
