Welcome to Montrose-Telluride, Colorado, where we have beautiful mountain views that we love looking at through windows adorned with our amazing Blinds and Window Treatments! Here at our Budget Blinds branch, we love recognizing all of the great team members that make us who we are—and that’s why we’re going to take some time today to recognize Rory Murphey.

Rory is one of our Design Consultants, having started here in July of 2019—and she brings so many great things to our team. She’s got encyclopedic knowledge of our products, which gives her the ability to make fantastic recommendations, help customers solve problems and create fresh new designs, and find the most stylish solutions possible.

She also has fantastic customer service skills, and she loves meeting new people. All of that is what makes this an ideal role for her—there’s lots of variety, and according to her, you get a different experience every day.

Rory has spent her life enjoying the western slopes. She grew up in Gunnison and Cedar Edge, and these days, she lives in the area with her husband, a one-year-old daughter, a five-year-old son, and two dogs.

When she’s not here at work with us, you can find her spending time with her family and friends. She also loves cooking, reading—and of course, being outdoors in our beautiful landscape.
