NEW YORK - The New York Chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association has begun blogging.
     According to IFDA, this new blog, "is about what's in the hearts and minds of IFDA NY members, sponsors, guest bloggers and experts in the furnishings and design industries."
     On the blog's site -ifdany. blogspot.com/- IFDA notes, "Interesting, out-of-the-box thinking and content is welcome."
     The site's blog-master is Jessica Tolliver, public relations and communications consultant and IFDA NY's 2012 vp of publications.
     For the launch, IFDA NY president Claudia Giselle Tejeda, who is a certified interior designer, posts the first blog. In it, she outlines a brief history of the IFDA and a summary of its membership.
     She also notes that this year marks IFDA NY's 65th anniversary, "and we have an exciting year in the works," which kicked off in January with a presentation at the Javits Center titled "Color: From Theory to Selection event with Benjamin Moore and House Beautiful."
     This month, IFDA is hosting a seminar with interior designer Vicente Wolf and Swann Auction Galleries' director of photographs Daile Kaplan.
