accents offer a unique contemporary French design with a hint of art deco
that Atkins wanted.
Upon entry, a high-lacquer bluish/gray glass and wood console with matching
mirror sits opposite the entryway. In the living room, a full leather sofa in graysilver
with stainless-steel accents and accented with pillows clad in silk is
flanked by three matching leather lounge chairs. The focal point of the room is
a cowhide rug and a brass and gold wire mesh chandelier above with nine seethrough
gold mesh boxes. Two high-lacquer tray tables with stainless-steel legs
sit at each end of the sofa and are home to two three glass bulb lamps. “The
trays remind me of the early 1960s, when people ate TV dinners in front of the
television,” said Atkins.
The dining room area is also a breakfast nook for Atkins. Here, four upholstered
modern French dining chairs with stainless-steel legs flank a beautiful highlacquer
walnut dining table with a stainless-steel base.
In the master bedroom a fully upholstered queen leather bed with dark lacquer
wood accents blends well against gray denge wallpaper. An art deco-style
dresser, two blue-gray high-lacquer night tables and scalloped lamps in black
embody the 1930s look. “I found the dresser at an antique show and replicated
the look. I used what would’ve been an old martini bar as a dresser. I think it’s
eclectic and cool,” said Atkins.
“
I absolutely love my
home; and with each new
collection we bring to
Tui Lifestyle, I know I can
change my home decor.
The materials and furnishings
are high-end, yet practical
and user-friendly.

Off the master bedroom is the office. Here, Atkins customized built-in cabinetry
and brought in Tui’s new office package consisting of a glass top desk with
stainless-steel legs, two white leather chairs with stainless-steel accents and a
swivel desk chair with stainless-steel base.
