Dream Room Awards
Nashville 2024

At the 55th Annual Decorating Den Interiors conference held in Nashville this year Barbara Hayman was awarded top placing for her bathroom entry to the Annual Dream Room competition 2024.

The conference is a wonderful mixture of awards for design or sales, training opportunities and a keynote speech this year from interior designer Celerie Kemble.

It was also the perfect time to meet many of the one hundred and fifty national vendors who travel to the conference each year. The vendors set up a private Design Market within the conference facilities at Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, where this year’s conference was held.

At the market, Barbara was able to sit on furniture, try out different cushion options, see new fabric introductions for upholstery and draperies, and meet with new vendors that have recently been added to the ever growing network of suppliers.

Cool Comfortable Consultation

McInnis-Hayman  provided interior design help to her family and friends long before she opened her franchise into 2011, and moved her business from her home to her new studio.

McInnis-Hayman was born in Jamaica and moved to the US to further her education. She earned a degree in Communication from Villanova University and then worked in the pharmaceutical industry, all the while dreaming about a full-time career in design.

McInnis-Hayman has a loyal following, adhering to her tagline: “Making the world more beautiful, one room at a time.”

“She came in and figured out my style,”  said Carol Wallace of Pottstown, who became a client about a year ago. “She’d do something and then I’d have her do something else. She did lots of things:  curtains, drapes, furniture,”  said Wallace, who is taking the one-room-at-a-time approach with Hayman’s services. “I love everything in my home that Barbara has designed.”
