Today, she reaches millions across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and her blog, sharing content that makes everyday life feel beautiful, creative, and doable. When it came time to renovate the home's flooring, she was looking for a solution that could deliver designer-worthy style while standing up to the demands of a busy, guest-filled coastal retreat. For her vision, CALI's Laguna collection proved to be the perfect foundation.

What made you choose CALI over other flooring brands you were considering?

"I spent a lot of time researching because this wasn't just a cosmetic decision. I wanted something that balanced style, durability, and quality. CALI checked every box. I loved the design options, the reputation for performance, and knowing I could create a beautiful space that would actually stand up to the demands of a vacation rental."

Why was it important for you to choose durable flooring?

"This is an Airbnb that's designed for families, so durability wasn't negotiable. Between kids, beach days, luggage rolling through the house, spills, and constant turnover from guests, I needed flooring that could actually keep up with real life. I wanted something that looked high-end without making me nervous every time someone checked in."

How have the new floors transformed the look and feel of your space?

"The flooring really became the foundation for the entire design. Once it was installed, everything else started to make sense. It made the home feel brighter, more cohesive, and gave it the relaxed coastal vibe I was going for. It truly elevated the entire space and made the design cohesive."

What is your favorite thing about your CALI floors?

"Honestly, how beautiful they are. The floors completely changed the feel of the home. They have this warm, elevated look that instantly makes every room feel more intentional and modern, but they're also incredibly practical. Every guest who walks into the house comments on them."

How has the flooring held up so far?

"It's been fantastic. We've hosted families all summer long, with kids, coolers, beach gear, and everything in between, and the floors have held up beautifully. They still look as good as they did when we first installed them, which gives me a lot of confidence as a host."

Would you recommend CALI to your friends and family? If so, why?

"Absolutely. I already have. Whether you're renovating your forever home or furnishing an investment property like we did, it's one of those purchases that feels worth it every single day. You get the look of a designer space with the durability you actually need to live your life."

About Natasha's Floors

Natasha installed Cypress Preserve from CALI's Laguna Collection — Laguna brings the character and substance of hardwood to an innovative, waterproof luxury vinyl plank designed for active, fun-loving homes. Featuring intricate oak grain textures and a versatile palette of natural wood tones, Laguna delivers the authentic look of hardwood with the everyday performance busy families need. The thicker WPC plank construction and attached acoustic padding create a softer feel and quieter rooms. Premium wood grain embossing brings extra hardwood authenticity, and the 20mil wear layer helps protect against scratches from sandy feet, paws, and everyday life. For Natasha's vacation rental, Laguna delivered the perfect combination: warm, elevated style that transformed the space and durable, waterproof performance that stands up to constant guest turnover.
