The first thing actress Gwyneth Paltrow bought for her shingle-style Amagansett house was a $37,500 Boontje Blossum chandelier, but her "major splurge" was on a yoga and pilates studio that she uses every day.
That's according to the latest issue of Us Weekly, in a sneak peek of a spread in the Oct. 9 issue of House & Garden magazine.
Paltrow and husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, bought the unfinished home for $5.4 million in 2006. First, they added bedrooms to accommodate their "big families," which includes children Apple, 3, and Moses, 18 months, mother, actress Blythe Danner, and brother, director Jake Paltrow.
The house is 7,000 square feet and two miles from the ocean.
Paltrow, who says she was hands-on in decorating the house, is quoted as saying that she doesn't want things too "fussy" or "decorated."
"I don't want the kids to feel there's any place they can't go," she says. "I want them to feel like it's their house."
The Us spread includes photos from the upcoming House & Garden of Paltrow's kitchen, with its Michael Minkoff cabinets, master bedroom, with its calfskin bed, and dining room, with that chandelier and plates from the budget store CB2.
