Up, up and away: Kate Hudson in the main stairway of her Pacific Palisades residence. The house is actually the actress’s childhood home, which Goldie Hawn had bought in 1979. (The family lived there for 12 years.) Hudson and husband Chris Robinson purchased it two years ago.

Hudson told her decorators she wanted a house that was livable but with a hint of formality, “comfortable but with one uncomfortable piece in the room.”

“Trust me. Please,” Hudson says she told Robinson when they bought the house. “You will love this house when I’m done with it.” Here, a view of the master bedroom.
