Designer Taniya Nayak, Mohawk spokesperson and star of HGTV’s “Designed to Sell,” mixed drinks like “Magic Carpet Cosmos” and “SmartStrand Sangrias” during a special “Girls Night Out” event, which gave spectators the chance to test SmartStrand Sorona’s stain resistance and styling for themselves.  Nayak and other area designers who crafted the VIP corporate suites provided design and décor tips to the captive audience.

“Style was a key theme in our involvement for this year’s Family Circle Cup event,” said David Duncan, Vice President of Marketing.  “We’ve worked hard to convey the superior stain resistance and durability attributes of SmartStrand Sorona over the past couple of years, and it’s paid off very well for our retailers.  Now we’re helping customers showcase the tremendous styling opportunities available with SmartStrand Sorona. The Family Circle Cup was the perfect stage for starting the design conversation.”
