Debbie Dusenberry is a Kansas City native..

For nearly 20 years, Debbie worked as a well respected makeup artist and 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 and blogs are among fan favorites for artistic inspiration and retail advice.

Debbie's talents and influence did not go unnoticed. In 2007 she was asked to join the national retail advisory board for the Gift and Home Trade Association. In 2007 and 2008 her store and home were featured in Country Living magazine and in Romantic Homes and in 2009 she began a Design Notebook column for the Kansas City Star magazine. Over the course of her ten years in retail, Curious Sofa was featured in over a dozen national publications.

On January 9, 2011 Debbie closed Curious Sofa for a simpler pace as well as to pursue other design ventures and concentrate on online sales only.

Today she can be seen producing magazine editorials, styling, retail consulting and traveling to antique shows with her beloved Bichon, Pearl by her side.
