This High Springs, Florida home dives headfirst into color—and never comes up for air. Inspired by the area’s famed freshwater springs and the owners’ shared passion for scuba diving, this renovation transformed an unused storage and workshop area into a leisure-centric wing designed for gathering and unwinding. The reimagined spaces now include a moody home theater, a vibrant lounge, a fully custom cocktail bar, and a mudroom tailored to store scuba gear—all drenched in lush greens and inky blues. Picture lacquered ceilings that shimmer like water, patina’d copper accents that feel freshly fished from the riverbed, and immersive color in every room that channels a dreamy underwater world. A lime green custom sofa from Paris makes a bold splash in the lounge, while the mudroom’s randomized cement tile floor adds just the right dose of the unexpected. It’s part fantasy, part Florida, and entirely unforgettable.

“They listened to my initial ideas and transformed those ideas into something really outstanding (that I never could've conceived of by myself). Every person who has seen my kitchen now is impressed with the transformation!”

Amber, Homeowner
