My Space: Gwyneth Paltrow’s Kitchen Is The Heart of Her Amagansett Home
EE72 Editorial Director Sarah Harris steps inside the rooms that ground cultural figures, revealing the spaces that inspire, recharge, and feel most like home.
“I bought this house in Amagansett nearly 20 years ago when Apple was very little and I was pregnant with Moses. It was a half-finished spec house that needed some love. The kitchen was very small, so I set out to make it larger and airier — a space where everyone could gather, have a glass of wine, and chat while I cooked. During the first few summers we lived here, I spent nearly all my time in this kitchen, feeding the throngs of family and friends who came through. We lived in London during that era, and my Amagansett kitchen was where I reunited and congregated with my lifelong friends, my brother, my cousins, and the like. This past winter, I gave her a little facelift with a new lick of paint and some oversized crackle subway tiles. I always feel a sense of homecoming when I am in this kitchen — the cumulation of all those hours, the meals, the togetherness. A lot of happy life has been lived here.”
