After we bought our home in 2021, we were in a race to lay new hardwood flooring before moving in, and it was one of the most stressful parts of the entire renovation. We flew across the country to approve the color of our stain-in-place white oak, only to be disappointed with the options, and were back to the drawing board with a tight deadline. Flooring makes a HUGE impact and is a big expense, so we wanted to LOVE it. After some trial and error, we got it right.
We immediately started working with Stuga to make a wood flooring available for you in a perfect shade inspired by the flooring we have in our home today. It took some time, but we did it! We DID IT!!! And it’s installed in our new CLJ Studio space coming soon…
Introducing our new CLJxStuga Flooring collection called Faye
It’s even more beautiful and durable than the wood flooring I have in my home! Honestly, it’s perfect. And if it had been available a year and a half ago, it would be all over our house. The contractor who installed it in the CLJ Studio actually asked us where he could get it because he wants it in his home! I don’t blame him. Down the road, when we work on the guest house, we’ll install it there, and I’m already jealous of our future guests.
CLJxStuga History
Our history with Stuga goes back to when we renovated the Cabin in the Idaho mountains. Their Scandanavian hardwood flooring completely transformed the cabin, and we fell in love with their stunning wood varieties and their unmatched durability. We then installed their Ingrid flooring in our Modern Cottage home because we knew that if they could withstand snow and wet boots in the cabin, they could withstand a lifetime. And that’s exactly what they promise–a structural warranty to last a lifetime and a 25-year warranty on the finish. I’m getting ahead of myself!
So, of course, when Stuga reached out to collaborate and create engineered wood flooring for YOU inspired by our wood floors, we did not hesitate, and they completely delivered.

Do you have any experience with the Rebel line of Stuga? I have a home on an island and have been recommended not to use hardwood. So this looks like a nice alternative to LVP!
We haven’t tried it, but we’re definitely Stuga fans!
We have a condo downtown Raleigh and are thinking about doing a floor and kitchen remodel. I got a sample of INGRID and love it, but my husband wants something a little warmer. Do you have anything a little more brown?
This is so pretty!!
I love it! We have real wood flooring in our downstairs and would love to put this in upstairs. Do you think upstairs and downstairs floors need to match exactly?
Just ordered a sample, it’s beautiful! So classic 🫶🏼
