When Lee Boren met Kevin Kleinhelter a little over two years ago, he was her contractor. She had worked for Atlanta interior designer Dan Carithers for three years, and with her talented eye for giving vintage pieces a modern look had decided to open her own design store, appropriately named Pieces. Kevin swooped in to convert the former bridal boutique, ripping out a modeling stage, building custom bookshelves, and painting walls and floors. Lee recalls that he always saw her at her worst-"my pre-store, freaking out phase"-but about a year after the store's opening, they were engaged, planning a wedding-and, of course, remodeling Kevin's bachelor pad for life as newlyweds.
