In this episode of More Than 2 Min, we sit down with Donna Dabbs, owner of Dabbs Decor and Gifts, to explore her journey from a quiet, shy girl growing up in Oak Cliff, Texas to becoming a successful entrepreneur, home designer, and creative force in the Dallas area.

Donna shares how her early experiences at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts shaped her love for design, staging, and storytelling through space. From working behind the scenes in theater production to building a business rooted in intentional design, affordability, and community impact, her story is one of growth, vision, and purpose.

We dive deep into:

• The power of home decor and interior design in shaping your mental health
• How color, lighting, and space influence your mood and daily energy
• Why home staging is essential in real estate and how it helps buyers visualize their future
• The journey of launching a women-owned small business in DeSoto, Texas
• How to decorate your home on a budget without sacrificing style
• The difference between trends vs. personal style in your living space
• Why art, culture, and exposure matter in our communities

Donna also breaks down how she turned her passion into a business, the risks of entrepreneurship, and how she creates a positive, affordable, and unique shopping experience for her customers.

This episode is more than design—it’s about identity, creativity, community, and building spaces that heal and inspire.

So sit back, grab some tea, and get ready for a great conversation!
