In the spirit of Valentine’s Day we’re post­ing a daily love poem & a Coulson Macleod typo­graphic print. Just because we love love.

‘New Year’s Eve’ by D.H. Lawrence

There are only two things now,

The great black night scooped out

And this fireglow.

This fire­glow, the core,

And we the two ripe pips

That are held in store.

Listen, the dark­ness rings

As it cir­cu­lates round our fire.

Take off your things.

Your shoulders, your bruised throat!

Your breasts, your nakedness!

This fiery coat!

As the dark­ness flick­ers and dips,

As the fire­light falls and leaps

From your feet to your lips!

Do you know who said these three fam­ous TV catch­phrases? Tell us in the com­ments box.

Our latest typo­graphic art col­lec­tion fea­tures a nat­ural hes­sian, hand-wrapped, block (35cm x 35cm), over­prin­ted with typo­graphy and moun­ted in a hand­made frame made from reclaimed wood. The inside of the frame is hand-painted white.

As is the way with Coulson Macleod, we retain any defects in the wood to add charm and char­ac­ter to the print, which can include (and often does) knot holes, nail holes, warps, and water marks. So not only do they look great, each typo­graphic art­work is totally unique.

The win­ner of a life’s design giveaway is…

Meg from the blog Nut­meg & Com­pany.

Meg is a design enthu­si­ast and recently bought a his­toric home, which she plans to ren­ov­ate and dec­or­ate every square inch. So pretty handy that she now has three Coulson Macleod ‘Dec­ades’ prints to hang on her walls. She said, “I’m so excited that I wont these prints. They are per­fect for the fam­ily room in my new house.”

Meg’s hus­band is a car­penter and they own a renov­a­tion com­pany called Tru­line Con­struc­tion, in Lon­don, Ontario. They’ve been in busi­ness for the past seven years and work really hard at what they do.  Here’s a couple of pho­tos of some award-winning kit­chens that they’ve worked on…

Our typo­graphic art giveaway on a life’s design blog was pretty pop­u­lar and here are just a hand­ful of com­ments left by those who entered…

• I love typo­graphy. But Coulson Macleod bring it back in style. I would not mind hav­ing these prints grace my liv­ing room. They are wonderful.
• I’d really love this set for my new home. I think that Coulson Macleod is inspired and inspir­ing: some­times I try to think about my next fur­niture dream­ing on their prints.
• Not only are the prints really beau­ti­ful, but I LOVE their brand’s atti­tude — they just seem so lovely on their Face­book page!
• These are great! I had never heard of them. I have added them to my favor­ites list. I would love one for my home. Thanks for intro­du­cing me to them.
• I love the phrases and the style — not too clean & mod­ern but not too rus­tic, their pieces are so full of char­ac­ter. LOVE!
• We’re mov­ing into a new place and need a fresh start… this art is fresh and unique… I would LOVE them.
• Wow! We love Coulson Macleod prints. The Six­ties print would go in our hall­way with our framed Beatles albums, The Sev­en­ties would go with all my other half’s Star Wars mem­or­ab­ilia, and we were born in The Eighties! Coulson Macleod are fant­astic as their art­work is so unique.
• I love their Face­book updates — they really make me smile. I love how they are inter­ested in archi­tec­ture — like really inter­ested. I love how it is obvi­ous that they love each other through their work. I love the simplicity-mixed-with-drama of their prints.
• For me it’s their ori­gin­al­ity that makes the designs so easy to relate too, as well as beau­ti­ful to look at.

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?
