Thought I’d just tot up where in the world we’ve shipped our art to. So aside from the UK, Coulson Macleod prints now hang in homes in the fol­low­ing countries…

Aus­tralia, Canada, Fin­land, France, Ger­many, Greece, India, Ire­land, Italy, Neth­er­lands, New Zea­l­and, Nor­way, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emir­ates, and of course from the east to west coast of the USA.

How very, very cool!

Coulson Macleod is on a global hunt. We’re look­ing for shops that want to stock our art.

Do you know any cool shops? If so, Coulson Macleod would love to hear from you.

We get heaps of enquir­ies from around the world. In par­tic­u­lar from lovely people in Amer­ica and Aus­tralia who obvi­ously have huge amounts of good taste.

How nice it would be to say to our cus­tom­ers, “Don’t worry about the cost of ship­ping, you can simply pop along to your local interior/design shop and there you shall find a Coulson Macleod for you to buy and take home with you.”

As you know we already have shops selling Coulson Macleod art in the UK and Nor­way. Can you help us with our global shop hunt?

Coulson Macleod is fea­tured in this month’s issue of Coun­try & Town House magazine.

Coulson Macleod can be seen in this month’s issue of Red (not a fea­ture, unfor­tu­nately, but we’ve got a lovely big advert.)

Now we don’t do a great deal of advert­ising, because advert­ising costs lots of money. We’d like to though. We appear monthly in Elle Dec­or­a­tion and Livin­getc. And if you fol­low this blog, you’ll know that we did advert­ise in the Janu­ary issue of Elle.

Our adverts always attract lovely new cus­tom­ers, which is obvi­ously the point. But there is also a part of us that simply loves open­ing a magazine and see­ing ourselves in print!

Since launch­ing Coulson Macleod a little over a year ago (we star­ted the busi­ness in March 2009) we’ve updated our web­site twice. Actu­ally updat­ing is incor­rect, we’ve com­pletely redesigned the web­site twice.

And now we’ve just launched our third version.

Each time we strip it back fur­ther for an even more uncluttered look. We love sim­pli­city. And we totally love our new ver­sion, which was designed by us.

Would love to hear your comments.

OK we couldn’t wait any longer. We’ve not even put these online yet as we’re wait­ing to show­case them on our new web­site (we’re beaver­ing away as fast as we can on this). Any­way, intro­du­cing you to the latest art col­lec­tion ‘Zodiac’ from Coulson Macleod…

‘Zodiac’ fea­tures the per­son­al­ity traits of each zodiac sign. We’ve used dis­tressed typo­graphy (of course!). But this time prin­ted onto solid lime­stone. Yep. Gor­geous solid creamy lime­stone. Our lime­stone tiles have been tumbled (a pro­cess that pro­duces an aged appear­ance) as we wanted an uneven pit­ted sur­face along with broken edges and roun­ded corners. Don’t tell any­one, but we’ve been doing an unhealthy amount of strok­ing, the lime­stone feels that good.

Our ‘Zodiac’ prints are open edi­tions, which means there is an unlim­ited print quant­ity. So, because they are not lim­ited like most of our art­work, they are also a little lighter on the purse.

We’re selling them either framed (see our Capri­corn print above) for £99. The framed size is 48cm x 28cm x 4cm.

Or unframed (see our Aquar­ius print above) for £49. The unframed size is 40cm x 20cm x 1.2cm.

The unframed prints look totally fab simply lean­ing on a book­shelf nestled between books. Or of course the framed ver­sion can be hung on a wall.

The frames are hand­made as is the Coulson Macleod way. Again we’ve used reclaimed antique Vic­torian roof tim­bers (like our Calm Brit­an­nia col­lec­tion). This means that each frame is actu­ally unique. The wood is full of lovely defects. Some come with knot holes, or nail holes, warps and water marks.

Hope you fall in love with these like we have.

Coulson Macleod’s latest col­lec­tion of lim­ited edi­tion prints… Calm Britannia

Dis­tressed Union Jack flags prin­ted onto nat­ural, coarse-weave, unbleached linen and then encased in a chunky sand­wich of reclaimed wood.

Three dif­fer­ent quotes.

Each print costs £169.

The frames are all hand­made using reclaimed antique Vic­torian roof tim­bers. We’re totally lov­ing all the nat­ural defects in the tim­ber too, they just ooze charm and char­ac­ter. Bring on the knot holes, nail holes, warps, and water marks!

We’ve fallen head-over-heels in love with these prints. So unique. And we par­tic­u­larly enjoy see­ing the linen slightly waft when you open a door!
