For nearly 20 years, Debbie worked as a well respected photo stylist, hired by national and local photographers and directors for TV, film and photography. With a life-long passion for interior styling and antiquing, she eventually left that industry to open her first retail venture, Curious Sofa in 2000.
Debbie's eye for assembling a store with the unusual and her unorthodox way of display established Curious Sofa among the top small retailers in the U.S. Customers from across the country made their way to the store to attend seasonal events and see the latest in her distinctive shop style. Her website, blog, Facebook and Pinterest pages are among fan favorites for antique goods and artistic inspiration.
Dusenberry's store and home have been featured in national magazines such as Where Women Create, Country Living, Romantic Homes, Romantic Country, Elle and Travel & Leisure as well as many local Kansas City publications.
Debbie closed her brick & mortar store in 2011 to sell online at CuriousSofa.com only. In 2012 she opened a small booth at Lone Elm Antique Mall in Olathe, KS.
Today she can be seen producing magazine editorials, photo styling, graphic design, retail consulting and traveling to antique shows with her beloved Bichon, Pearl by her side.
