This is Benjamin Moore’s annual color and design fest…presented to you by Doty Horn. Last year I went into New York, to hear Doty present the seminar at the IFDA offices. You can read about it here.

So, it’s been a year? No, not quite. This time I got a jump start by attending the first in their series of webinars!

The theme for 2012 is “Preservation”.
