I am a sensible, level headed person (generally). There is not much that makes me go weak-kneed (except when my boy proposed to me, but I digress). And I like to think that I have fairly unique taste. But the exception to both those statements is Brad Pitt who first came to my attention in a trailer ad for Levis before the film "Thelma & Louise".

And then to answer every female's question "who IS that boy???", appeared in the film itself getting down to less than his Levi's (note to self: must see if You Tube has that Levi's ad). And I have been a (dribbling) fan (like many) ever since. Yes, I do appreciate his acting ability, but he is rather good looking as well. It's a nice combination. So imagine my (over) excitement upon reading a clip from Elle magazine that he hed recently been a guest at the Pool House in Scotland.
If you haven't seen previous posts on this, the Pool House is a gem of a place tucked away in the glorious west highlands of Scotland in the most beautiful surroundings. Also, they have used quite a few of our stencils in the rooms, restaurant and reception area. So, yes, I was more than a little joyous that Brad could have seen this:

Or maybe even this:

Or perhaps this:
VN210 Chandelier
And gotten naked...oh, sorry, maybe my mind shouldn't go there. At least not whilst at work.

I hear he has rather discerning taste and is an aesthete so I would like to think that if he had noted our stencils, he would have approved. Especially as they have been used in such spectacular fashion at Pool House. It is a tenous connection between us, but one has to grasp a very, very, very small thread every now and again. Now what would really make me faint headed would be if Johnny Depp had been staying in the next room as well.

Rachel, Mr Pitt probably has seen our stencils they were in the movie Oceans 13 and so was he. The Pool House, stencilling and Mr P look wonderful!That brightened my morning.

These photos show a lot of detail, that bathtub is really nice! I do love the large red border in the bedroom.

Loved seeing the stenciling and couldn't agree with you more. The only thing that might have made it better would have been Mr. Depp lying on the bed in one of the photos. Thanks, now I am connected by that tiny thin thread too.
