Situated on Lake Eloise, part of Winter Haven’s Chain of Lakes canal system, this 2006-built home underwent a three-year renovation from 2022 to 2025 with results well worth the wait. 

With four grown children, the husband-and-wife owners wanted to transform their family home into a space for entertaining, relaxation and everyday enjoyment. Inspiration came from the clients themselves—their lifestyle, focus on family and love of entertaining—resulting in a home that feels like a luxury vacation.

Original features such as blue-framed windows, soaring ceilings, concrete floors and exposed wood beams were preserved, while new additions include custom cabinetry, tall motorized drapery, bespoke rugs and curated furniture pieces. 

R. Nickson Interiors incorporated real materials throughout, including marble, concrete and glass, layered with wallpaper and unexpected details for texture and warmth. The color palette of the home mixes blues and greens with pops of neon, while the primary suite offers a more subdued yet complementary look. Standout spaces include a powder bath with black concrete walls and countertops paired with brush-stroked grasscloth wallpaper, bar and mudroom cabinets painted a rich teal with stainless metal grill details and an Onyx backlit bar featuring slabs of deep blue and cream stone. 

The home’s unique architecture presented challenges, yet the renovation was a dream project, enhanced by abundant natural light, the quality of the original construction and the clients’ enthusiasm throughout the process. 

The sunken living room pairs a Boyden sectional with Made Goods furnishings—including barstools, accent chairs and a coffee table.
Backlit quartz countertops pair with Made Goods acrylic barstools and Vandykes mesh cabinetry at the bar.
The mud hall and adjacent bar feature Vandykes mesh cabinetry, with layered bench upholstery.
The entry features a Padria round mirror by Uttermost, paired with a Designer Inc console and Arteriors ottomans.
Swimmers wallpaper by California Wallpaper sets a lively tone in the pool bath, layered with natural bamboo window treatments.
A mix of Fireclay and Thassos marble tile sets a refined tone in the primary bathroom.
The primary bathroom is layered with Schumacher Giove wallpaper, a Robern lighted mirror and a custom upholstered stool.
The powder bath features Harlequin Japanese Ink Origami wallpaper, a Made Goods dark blue pen shell mirror and a black oval ceramic sink from Ferguson WS Bath.
The primary bedroom is softened with Fabricut Borrego Blue drapes trimmed in Damiani Amethyst and a Verellen Lutz wing chair.
The primary bedroom features a custom platform bed in Schumacher Tutsi Blue and Philip Jefferies Abaca Breeze wallpaper.
The outdoor area features a curved concrete bench and round firepit, complemented by additional seating from Fourhands and Made Goods.
