☔️ The Forecast Is Gloomy. Your Windows Don't Have To Be. 😎

🌧️ Mother Nature: "Here's a gloomy, rainy day."

😎 Your house: "Cute. Watch this."

These layered shades prove you can have:
✨ natural light
👀 privacy
☕ cozy vibes
🏡 a polished, custom look
..all at the same time.

Because while we can't control the weather, we can help you control what happens inside your windows.

And let's be honest—custom window coverings are a lot like good decisions:
✔️ They age well.
✔️ They make life easier.
✔️ You rarely hear someone say, "I wish I'd gone with the cheaper option." 😂

These layered shades let you enjoy the view, soften the light, and keep your home looking effortlessly put together—even when the forecast is having a bit of a meltdown.

After nearly 80 years, we've learned that good design isn't about chasing trends. It's about creating a home that feels comfortable, looks beautiful, and works for the way you live. 💙

So let the rain do its thing outside.

Your windows can still be the best-looking part of the day. 😎☔️

Today, we pause to remember Norma Jean Kirpes. 💙

Norma Jean, along with her husband Ray, was part of the generation that carried Pfohl’s forward and helped build the family business we are proud to continue today.

For nearly 80 years, Pfohl’s has been more than a business—it has been a family legacy. Through changing times, growing families, and new generations of customers, people like Norma Jean helped provide the dedication, hard work, and support that kept that legacy strong.

Businesses don't last 80 years by accident. They last because of people who believe in them, sacrifice for them, and work to leave them better for the next generation.

Today, we are grateful for the foundation that Ray and Norma Jean helped build, and we are honored that their son John continues to carry that legacy forward.

Our thoughts are with the entire Kirpes family as they celebrate Norma Jean's life and the many memories she leaves behind.

❤️ Rest in peace, Norma Jean.

💙🐶 It's important to have coworkers you can lean on. 🐶💙

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of business travel, long days, and lots of miles.

Thankfully, our team understands the importance of supporting one another. 😌

Some offer encouragement.
Some share the workload.
And some apparently become a pillow. 😅

These two have spent years perfecting the art of teamwork:
🤝 sticking together
💤 supporting each other
🚗 sleeping through most of the trip

Honestly, they may have the right idea.

As we've celebrated our 80th year in business, we've been reminded that no one does it alone. It takes family, great employees, loyal customers, and occasionally a coworker willing to let you nap on their head. 💙

Here's to the people (and dogs) who help carry us through the busy seasons. 🐾

🪟✨ Wood shutters: because “builder-grade blinds” were never the dream. 😏

These are the kind of window treatments that quietly make the whole house look more expensive. No cords. No fuss. No “why are these already crooked?” energy. 😅

Just clean lines, timeless style, and the kind of custom fit you cannot fake from a box store. 👌

And let’s be honest…nothing says “I gave up halfway through decorating” quite like flimsy plastic blinds hanging unevenly in the window. 💁‍♀️

Meanwhile, wood shutters are over here looking polished, elegant, and completely unbothered. 😎✨

After nearly 80 years, we’ve learned:
👉 classic always wins
👉 custom always looks better
👉 and shortcuts ALWAYS show

So yes… these are an investment.But unlike some purchases we could mention, you’ll still love them 10 years from now. 😉🪟

🪟✨ Let’s clear something up right now…

The rods and side panels are NOT “just extra fabric.” 😅

They’re the difference between:
👉 “yeah, the room is fine”
and
👉 “OH… this looks expensive.” 😎✨

And this time of year? We want the sunshine… just not the glare. ☀️

These custom side panels soften the space, frame the view beautifully, and add that finished designer look — withoutblocking all the natural light we waited all winter for. 🌷😌

Because nothing ruins a beautiful room faster than:
😬 flimsy hardware
😬 panels that are too short
😬 or curtains hanging on for dear life from a clearance rod

Couldn’t be us. 💁‍♀️

After nearly 80 years, we’ve learned:
✨ details matter
✨ custom always looks better
✨ and shortcuts ALWAYS show

So yes… the rods matter too. 😉🪟

🚨🐶 Pfohl’s Security Team on duty.

Keeping a close eye on the neighborhood…
👉 suspicious activity
👉 delivery trucks
👉 that one leaf that moved weird

Nothing gets past these two. 👀

Highly trained in:
🐾 window monitoring
🐾 neighborhood surveillance
🐾 looking extremely serious while doing absolutely nothing

While they handle security…
we’re inside making sure your windows look this good:
🪟 custom fit
✨ clean, finished look
😎 zero “we’ll fix it later” situations

So yes — they’ve got security covered…
and we’ve got your windows. 😎

80 years of doing it right (with a little help from our “team”). 💙

🪟✨ Classic pinch pleat drapes… because not everything needs to be a “trend.”

Some people are out here chasing the latest look…
and some people choose something that actually still looks good in 10 years. 😌

These?
🤍 tailored
🤍 timeless
🤍 zero regrets

No weird gaps.
No “why does this look off?”
No DIY situation hanging on for dear life. 😅

Just perfectly measured, beautifully made, and installed like it should be. 👌

Because let’s be honest…
your windows deserve better than “good enough.” 💁‍♀️

And after nearly 80 years, we’ve learned:
👉 classic always wins
👉 custom always fits
👉 and shortcuts always show

🌿😎 Save the planet… but make it cute. ✨

It’s Earth Day, and yes — we love a good eco-friendly moment.
But we’re not about to sacrifice style to get there. 💁‍♀️

These natural shades from Graber are made from sustainable, organic materials…
and somehow still manage to look this good. 👏

🌱 good for the planet
🪟 custom fit for your home
✨ and actually worth showing off

Because “going green” shouldn’t mean settling for something that just looks… fine. 😅

After nearly 80 years, we’ve learned you can have both:
👉 style
👉 function
👉 and materials you feel good about

So yes — save the planet.
But let’s make sure your windows look amazing while you’re at it. 😉🪟

🪟✨ Soft light, a little privacy… and a MAJOR upgrade. 😍

These sheers + side panels we installed recently?
Yeah… this is what happens when you stop settling for “it’ll do.” 😄

☀️ Light filters in beautifully
👀 Privacy stays intact
✨ And suddenly the whole room looks pulled together

Because let’s be honest…
bare windows (or “temporary” solutions that have been there for years 😅) aren’t doing you any favors.

And no — this isn’t a grab-it-off-the-shelf situation.
👉 perfectly measured
👉 custom made
👉 installed right the first time

That’s how you go from “it’s fine” to “wow, this room looks GOOD.” 😎

We’ve been making windows look like this since 1946…
so yeah, we’ve got it down. 💁‍♀️🪟

🐶💤 HR has been notified.

After their big Easter debut, we thought we should share what our “employees” are doing 99% of the time…

Sleeping on the job? ✔️
Ignoring responsibilities? ✔️
Looking cute enough to avoid consequences? Unfortunately… ✔️😂

We’ve opened an investigation, but so far:
👉 zero remorse
👉 no improvement plan
👉 still asleep

Meanwhile, the rest of us at Pfohl’s are out here:
🪟 measuring
🛠️ installing
📏 making sure everything fits perfectly

You know… actually working. 😎

Good thing we’ve been doing that part right since 1946. 💙

As for these two… we’ll keep them on staff for morale purposes. 🐶
