When Lee Kleinhelter was a little girl, she was more interested in designing rooms for her dolls than playing with the dolls themselves. As an adult, her passion for the elements of design - line, shape, color, form, texture, contrast - has continued to shape her own interiors. "If a chair has a great shape, it can stand on that alone; it doesn't need strong pattern or interesting texture, too." When Lee and her husband, Kevin, remodeled the master bedroom of his "bachelor pad" after their wedding, Lee chose chocolate brown for their bedroom walls. The dark walls provide a nice contrast to all white furnishings and a treasured pair of vintage lamps that had been for sale in Lee's Buckhead store, Pieces (404-869-2476, piecesinc.com). The lamps had gone out on approval, but Lee was thrilled when they were returned and didn't let them go again. The walls and flooring throughout the rest of the home are white, too, so the bedroom's darker palette gives Lee "a real sense of entering into another space - a warm and cozy place to rest, both physically and mentally." - E.H.
