“The kids were much younger when I embarked on this project, and I wasn’t married to Brad, so I was ideating for a future self that didn’t exist yet.” —Gwyneth Paltrow

Anita CaleroHollywood heavyweight Gwyneth Paltrow spent six years building her dream house from the ground up in beautiful Montecito (“our sweet gem of an escape”).
