Lee Kleinhelter, owner of Pieces comes from a distinctive Atlanta design background working with designers Dan Carithers, Westbrook Interiors, and Joye Hirsch Interior Design. Originally from North Carolina and with an education in Art History and Interior Design, she feels like she has finally found her niche. Pieces opened in May of 2004. The boutique started from a concept Lee had to provide a source for traditional and contemporary furnishings, stylish, clean lines with a punch of color.
The great finds for the boutique are found in markets from all over the country. Such items like vintage Swedish deco chairs, driftwood wall sculptures, and chic cork lamps. It’s a great place for dog accessories too. Groovy leashes, colorful collars, and fun sweaters.
“I search for items that are unique and can be updated to fit in many environments”, says Lee. “I want to create a space that inspires people and is available not only to the trade, but exposes the public as well”. We hope that you can stop by and visit her unique shop in the heart of Buckhead. Don’t forget to say hello to Teddy, the laid back yet very stylish golden retriever.
You are always welcome to make your own shipping arrangements. The selected carrier bills shipping cost separately.
Following purchase of an item, you have 7 days to make shipping arrangements. If you need more time furnishings can be stored with Designer Transport Services until you're ready to ship. Storage fees apply.
