My dream kitchen has always included a ladder. I think it feels so elevated and whimsical, like something that would appear in a storybook but also in the home of the chicest person I know. Of course, Gwyneth Paltrow has one.
The Goop founder's Brigette Romanek designed Montecito kitchen is famous for its blue-and-white tiling and high glass cabinets. However, it wasn't until the actress's most recent Instagram video that I noticed the detail that has elevated all my plans: the brass bar. Though a kitchen ladder on its own is stylish, a ladder leaned against a brass bar is untouchable. Just like Gwyneth's signature style, it feels simultaneously luxurious and California casual.
