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.

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

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.

‘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.

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.

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.

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

The utterly gorgeous Grade II listed wedding venue Dodmoor House have added our art as their top choice of wedding present.

Doesn’t Dodmoor House look lovely?

Barns. Private courtyard. Flagstone floors. Exposed rafters. Red brick. Very Coulson Macleod.

Of course, we may be a little biased as we, yes that’s us Coulson & Macleod, are getting married here in June.

Today Coulson Macleod Loves Fine Little Day.

Based in Sweden, Fine Little Day was founded in 2007 by artist Elisabeth Dunker. We particularly love these cushions, birch tea towel & matches, hot water bottle, & chopping board. Basically anything in soft grey. Fine Little Day’s goal is, to the greatest extent possible, to produce by methods that are both fair to people and environmentally friendly.

Very Coulson Macleod.

And Fine Little Day offer free worldwide shipping.

Looks good eh?

Loving this chic & simple hallway.

Elisabeth clearly has great taste. Great blog. Great apartment in Oslo. Great taste in artwork.

You can win any three of the following. The cool thing is that YOU get to choose the art prints you would like.

‘Chair Stamp’ collection.

The chair images are hand-drawn by Coulson Macleod before being turned into rubber stamps. Each individual chair is then hand-stamped before being digitised and coloured. The paper is 100% recycled and is therefore slightly textured with flecks of the recycled material, giving it a natural, off-white appearance.

‘Wedded Bliss’ collection.

‘Insect Shapes’ collection.

‘I Love You’ collection.

Check out Hege In France’s blog post for the rules. The winner will be chosen on Friday, 16th March 2012.

Good luck.

Our A3 prints are on 100% recycled, off-white, uncoated, heavyweight paper.

The chair images are hand-drawn by ourselves (that’s Coulson Macleod) before being turned into rubber stamps. Each individual chair is then hand-stamped before being digitised and coloured.

Available professionally framed or unframed (as shown).
