Nat­ural reclaimed mater­i­als. Check. Typo­graphy. Check. Hand­made. Check. Vin­tage feel. Check. Oh, so very Coulson Macleod.

Intro­du­cing Coulson Macleod’s Curio Col­lec­tion, inspired by old phar­ma­ceut­ical adverts.

For this new vin­tage art col­lec­tion, we’ve used hes­sian, a coarse woven fab­ric made from the veget­able fibre, jute. We’ve wrapped the hes­sian around a block meas­ur­ing 35cm x 35cm just so you know and prin­ted the art­work onto the fab­ric. Then we’ve moun­ted this hes­sian print onto a hand­made frame made from gor­geous reclaimed wood (Vic­torian roof tim­bers to be exact). The inside of the frame is hand-painted white.

This art­work has an unlim­ited print quantity.

We’ve attached a hanging mech­an­ism to the rear of the frame so it’s ready for you to hang on your wall.

And just in case you were think­ing that the wood looked a bit, well, vin­tage. Yep! That’s the way we like it. We pur­pose­fully retain any defects in the tim­ber to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. These can include knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks, so each art­work is totally unique.

Sure, every­one has an opin­ion. But do you have one of Coulson Macleod’s?

Coulson Macleod has cre­ated nine typo­graphic art prints for the Opin­ions Col­lec­tion. Each fea­tures a chunky hand­made, vintage-style, rough-sawn solid oak frame sur­round­ing a white-washed oak panel prin­ted with typography.

Each art­work has an unlim­ited print quantity.

The oak panel is cut and sanded by hand before being covered with a coat of diluted white lac­quer wash to fill the grain, and then sanded and re-washed with the lac­quer a second time. The panel is then over-printed with UV ink.

The mitred frame is hand­made using rough-sawn solid oak with a shadow rebate on the groove. 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 prin­ted panel is then encased into the frame which is then glued and pinned, ready for hanging.

So, what’s your opinion?

Now for the eagle-eyed amongst you, or if you’re a super-duper fan of Coulson Macleod, you may recog­nise our latest col­lec­tion called ‘Love Notes’…

Yes, this is not strictly a new col­lec­tion of typo­graphic prints. Just a re-worked one.

Our re-worked ‘Love Notes’ col­lec­tion still fea­tures a hand­made vintage-style frame made with rough-sawn solid oak.

Our re-worked ‘Love Notes’ col­lec­tions still fea­tures a white-washed oak panel prin­ted with dis­tressed typo­graphy.

How­ever the size of each print is now 54cm x 54cm x 8cm. Not the smal­ler 29cm x 29cm x 8cm.

Why? Well if you love someone you want to tell them in a big way!

And we’ve re-jigged the style. This is how they used to look…

Per­fect big love notes. Which one is your favourite?

Coulson Macleod’s Little Love Notes

Our very pop­u­lar ‘Winter Tree’ col­lec­tion of typo­graphic prints has now just got a little bit bigger…

Our ‘Winter Tree’ prints fea­ture a hand­made frame and pan­elled back­board made from reclaimed wood — Vic­torian roof tim­bers no less. Paint is applied by hand and then over-printed with dis­tressed image and typo­graphy. So very Coulson Macleod.

Our ‘Winter Tree’ col­lec­tion of six art­works has an unlim­ited print quantity.

We pride ourselves on the fact that the planks used to make the print vary in size and that we keep any defects in the tim­ber to add to the charm and char­ac­ter. We love knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks. And we know our cus­tom­ers do too.

Intro­du­cing our latest cre­ations and six per­fect little gifts. Guess what we’ve called this collection?

The Gift Col­lec­tion. Obviously!

A solid square of gor­geous reclaimed wood. Hand-painted white. Then over-printed with dis­tressed typo­graphy. The art­work is packed in a nat­ural jute hes­sian mater­ial and presen­ted in a Coulson Macleod–branded gift box made from recycled cardboard.

The art­work dimen­sions are 21cm x 21cm x 2cm and the Gift Box meas­ures 26cm x 26cm x 3.5cm.

The reclaimed wood is cut and sanded by hand before being painted. We retain any defects in the salvaged tim­ber to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. And they are full of char­ac­ter. These can include knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks, so each art­work is totally unique.

Now you never need worry about what to buy someone.

Just stumbled across this gor­geous Nor­we­gian blog. Jill lives in Ber­gen, and although she’s not an interior designer, her home, like her blog, is so beau­ti­fully styled. And Jill’s lovely hus­band gave her one of our ‘Winter Tree’ prints for Christ­mas. Doesn’t it look happy in its new home?

The vintage-style print is ‘Thick Blows My Frosty Breath Abroad’ (pic­tured below)…

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?

One of Coulson Macleod’s typo­graphic prints was awar­ded first prize to the win­ner of Design Refuge’s Octo­ber Chal­lenge. Design Refuge, if you haven’t already come across it, is the largest meet­ing place online for design blog­gers worldwide.

The win­ner was Jac­quelyn Clark from blog lark & linen, who had to ask for help as she simply couldn’t decide which of these prints to choose…

Dis­tressed typo­graphy prin­ted onto solid limestone

She said, “So as you all know, I was voted the Design Refuge Octo­ber chal­lenge win­ner. Yay!! My prize includes a print from the very tal­en­ted Coulson Macleod and I need your help! Their work is pretty incred­ible; often made with reclaimed mater­i­als, each piece is unique and beau­ti­ful. I’ve nar­rowed it down to the above three and would love to know, which do you prefer? I just can’t decide. As an aside, yes­ter­day Coulson Macleod put together a really sweet fea­ture on their blog about lark + linen. It’s the first time I’ve been fea­tured since start­ing my blog last April and if you’d like to see it please take a look here. It truly made my day.”

In the end Jac­quelyn chose our ‘The Roar of Trees and Crack of Branches’ print, which was fea­tured in the Novem­ber issue of Elle Dec­or­a­tion magazine.
