This could have been writ­ten by Coulson Macleod, as we pas­sion­ately believe in the import­ance and value of art and design.

But in fact these words are from our favour­ite interi­ors magazine, Elle Dec­or­a­tion (April 2011 issue).

Elle Dec­or­a­tion says, “In many ways your choices — those that truly res­on­ate with you — are a win­dow onto your soul, form­ing an altern­at­ive por­trait of your true, instinct­ive self. And if the mass­ing pub­lic throngs at the recent Art Basel Miami Beach fair were any­thing to go by, the art mar­ket is alive and well, with an increas­ing accept­ance of what con­situtes art as well as a move towards qual­ity over shock value, which bodes well for the future. It’s also becom­ing easier than ever to buy as the num­ber of gal­ler­ies selling art online proliferates.”

How very true. As we creep closer to our second birth­day, Coulson Macleod is test­a­ment to this. We are now a small, but global brand. With cus­tom­ers in 22 coun­tries. Many of whom come back to buy again and again.

Here’s what some of our cus­tom­ers have to say…

“I bought the work from the ‘Love’ col­lec­tion for my wife because sim­pli­city has great power, and on a per­sonal level it speaks about where we’re at.”

“I look at my Coulson Macleod art before I go to sleep and every time I wake up in the morning…enough said.”

“I love the sen­ti­ment of the words prin­ted on my print and love the raw feel of the art­work. It’s added a little more soul to our home.”

So if you fancy mak­ing a per­sonal state­ment, you don’t have to go to the Art Basel Miami Beach fair. Click through to our web­site and per­use our typo­graphic art. Designed and made with passion.

Our hand­made Winter Tree prints are made from reclaimed wood (the tim­ber star­ted out life as Vic­torian roof tim­bers to be pre­cise). We then white­wash the wood and over-print with a dis­tressed image and dis­tressed typo­graphy. Well it wouldn’t be a Coulson Macleod without some dis­tressed typo­graphy would it?

ELLE Dec­or­a­tion, Novem­ber 2010 issue.

Elle Dec­or­a­tion chose ‘The Roar of Tree and Crack of Branches’ typo­graphic print from our Winter Trees collection.

We hand make the frame and pan­elled back­board from reclaimed wood. Actu­ally the wood used to be Vic­torian roof tim­bers. How cool is that? We paint the wood and print on top with dis­tressed image and typography.

Each art­work is totally unique. And totally unique to Coulson Macleod.

Coulson Macleod’s PR for the Mumpren­eur Awards 2010 con­tin­ues. Yes­ter­day our local paper wrote this art­icle on me…

A mum who built a busi­ness up in 18 months has made it through to the finals of a national entre­pren­eur com­pet­i­tion cel­eb­rat­ing women in business.

The Mumpren­eur Awards recog­nise busi­ness­wo­men through­out the UK who juggle a com­pany with fam­ily life, and 39-year old Han­nah MacLeod of Ket­ter­ing, has been singled out in the 2010 awards.

She has been short­l­is­ted for the Best Online Busi­ness award for her inter­net art busi­ness, with the award going to the final­ist who has the most deserving busi­ness and most inspir­a­tional website.

Ms MacLeod, who runs Coulson Macleod with her part­ner Mark Coulson, is delighted to be in with a chance.

She said: “I was very pleased to find out I had made it through to the final. I feel proud the com­pany has grown so much since it was estab­lished 18 months ago and delighted to be recog­nised by these awards.”

The busy mum launched the busi­ness with no ini­tial invest­ment and has watched it grow – the company’s goods are now stocked in shops around the UK and Nor­way, is a favour­ite of Saat­chi and Saat­chi, and has been fea­tured in numer­ous magazines includ­ing Elle Dec­or­a­tion UK, Easy Liv­ing and County & Town House.

Because she has been nom­in­ated for an award, she is also in with a chance of win­ning the title of Inspir­a­tional Busi­ness Mum 2010, which will be judged with the rest of the awards at the Mumpren­eur Con­fer­ence on Septem­ber 18 in Warwickshire.

She added: “It is import­ant for mums to know that they can do it – they should be con­fid­ent in their abil­it­ies. Being a mum makes you a multi-tasker – and you can put a load of wash­ing on, send an email and talk on the phone at the same time.”
