IFDA Florida Kicked off 2017 with Cocktails and Connections at Chapter Sponsor Hessler Paint and Decorating at their flagship store in Delray Beach.
Our new sponsor hosted this great event that included presentations by area reps.

Hessler’s showroom is packed with samples of area rugs, carpet, flooring, wallpaper, fabrics, window treatment…and of course paint.
Benjamin Moore Reps Melissa Blanchenay and Steve Gorman gave us trends, tips and insights into the benefits of using Benjamin Moore products and a reputable company such as Hessler.
Dan Hessler also spoke about the high quality of Ben Moore paints and how the sales reps will even go to the job sites to make sure the paint is being applied correctly.
Member Laura Hessler, who oversees the design department, also unveiled a new Designer Program which offers many benefits for interior designers who use Hessler as a resource.
There were also great door prizes courtesy of Hessler Paint and Decorating vendors.
Among the members attending were Beverly Stewart, Leah Keitz, Caroline Rogow and Marsha Koch.
