Unison Sailor Mustard Table Linens on set of "I Hate My Yard"

As Seen On “I Hate My Yard” DIY Network

We have a little claim to fame this month on DIY Network’s “I Hate My Yard”  Episode 112. Our Sailor Mustard Table Linens were chosen to complete Kevin & Sara’s backyard transformation. Here is the episode recap:

“Kevin & Sara are musicians who love to entertain in their backyard. Unfortunately, their current space is run down, overgrown and cut off smack in the middle by a giant tree and a basketball hoop they don’t even use. Landscape Designer Sara Bendrick decides to wipe the slate clean and remove it all, including the tree, which she chops up into discs to reuse in a patio. Other features include a concrete-topped bar, a dining area, a deluxe chicken coop, and a multi-purpose stage/lounge area.” – DIY Network.

The 9th Annual Guerilla Truck Show

We had another great year at the Guerilla Truck Show, an annual pop-up art and design event put on by Morlen Sinoway. Each year during Design Week, Fulton Market closes down and cargo-trucks park side by side to showcase the work of established and up-and-coming Chicago designers. It’s a fun place to go after long hours spent at NeoCon, one of the largest design trade shows in the country. Here are a few shots by our friend and photographer, Lyra Jakabhazy.
