Coulson Macleod is fea­tured in this month’s issue of Easy Liv­ing Magazine.

Our art­work ‘Love Makes The Ride Worth­while’ is on page 11 on the Editor’s let­ter page. Susie For­bes says, “Finally — this Coulson Macleod panel (£149) with its sweet and poignant mes­sage takes us right back to feel­ing the love — and let’s face it, there’s noth­ing quite like it!”

So thank you very much Susie For­bes, Editor of Easy Liv­ing. You have great taste!

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.

As you know, we had our Coulson Macleod art­work pho­to­graphed pro­fes­sion­ally last Tues­day. We hired a pretty little chapel and a com­mer­cial pho­to­grapher. We had piles of props, some of which are ours, some we bor­rowed, and some we bought just for the occa­sion. And here are a couple of the shots taken…

We’ve got 174 shots to work through. As you can see from the bot­tom photo, some of the shots need crop­ping (we obvi­ously don’t want to see wall sock­ets in the final image). But we love the over­all feel. We were lucky with the light that day too, which flooded through the chapel win­dows and meant that most of the shots were taken without need­ing arti­fi­cial light.

Can’t wait to put them on our new-look web­site. In fact we can’t wait to show-off our new website.

So if you’re from a magazine and fancy fea­tur­ing Coulson Macleod art, then we have plenty of high-res images to send you.

This month Coulson Macleod is fea­tured in Emir­ates Home, the Middle East’s best selling interi­ors magazine.

Whilst Googling Coulson Macleod I noticed a link to Single­track World, the web­site for the moun­tain bike magazine Singletrack.

I had to investigate.

What had happened is that someone on the Single­track World forum says, “I saw this and thought of you…” with a link back to our Love Makes The Ride Worth­while print.
