Chilling on the lawn: Bethenny Frankel considers the country-style farmhouse in Bridgehampton she bought three months ago her 'first real home'
The 44-year-old reality star said in the latest issue of People: 'It's like the Destiny's Child song Independent Women, Pt. 1. "Shoes on my feet/ I bought 'em/ I depend on me." I wanted to make this house mine'
Fans of The Real Housewives of New York City star - who's worth a reported $25M - might be surprised to learn she decorated her safe haven with furniture from Ikea, CB2, West Elm, Pottery Barn, and T.J. Maxx.
'Half of this house is from T.J. Maxx. I'm embarrassed by how much I go there. I'm in the T.J. Maxx witness protection programme,' Bethenny joked, of the discount department store chain.
Frankel admitted she 'kind of threw it together' and she's 'not worried about people spilling stuff' inside the five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home.

Beat the heat in barely there sandals
Is that a SkinnyGirl ice cream Bethenny?? Oh heck, it dosn't matter, it's too darn hot to care about those things.
We care more about your sandals. Which we love for their feminine wire wrap around ankle and gladiator- like appeal.
Sandal maker Cocobelle teamed up with swimsuit designer L'Space and together, they made a sandal baby which is what we see here before our eyes.
They also come in a metallic gold, but personally, we prefer Bethenny's subtle nude color. They give the hardly there illusion and because of that-- lengthen her slender legs.
Sandals like these are great because they can be worn casually, but we imagine them to really work well with a blousey, floaty white beach dress-- the kind you find at Calypso.
Luckily, for us these shoes arn't terribly expensive, but if you're in the market for more affordable options- check out our edit below, we've got you covered for summer.
Seaside sanctuary: Frankel's house is located minutes from the beach and it boasts a gunite pool, an outdoor bar built from reclaimed wood, and a one-bedroom guest cottage
Bethenny said: 'I'll have [Housewives executive-producer] Andy Cohen (L), maybe a Housewife, some locals, and then seven kids running around'
The Skinnygirl mogul continued: 'I go into my fridge and clean out whatever's there. And I make the cocktails - I always have enough booze, obviously'
