MEET OUR TEAM
this is us
You could say we got it from our momma, who got it from her momma! We have been a family owned and operated business for 45 years and while it’s a little atypical to get to work with the whole family, we promise to make your experience one to remember!

We are a unique store located in the heart of Forest, Virginia. Our store has been in the family for over 45 years, and thanks to you, our wonderful customers, we are still able to keep it that way!
The store's original founders, James and Joyce Falls, began the business under the name Quality Towel and Linen, and served the local area as an outlet store for towels and bedding where their three daughters worked also. Her daughter, Cindy (the current owner), eventually helped to expand the business to incorporate window treatments as well.
After Cindy and husband Brad purchased the business in 1994, they revamped the store and introduced the blinds and shades. With a new-found market and expanded focus they renamed it Curtains, Blinds & Bath. Since then, the business has introduced in-stock and custom window treatments and has introduced a new interior design end of their business called CBB Home. Brad and Cindy's three children all work at the store and also now co-own the business alongside their parents, keeping the business a family affair!
Cindy Greer
Owner
Cindy is the amazing, dedicated, and talented owner of Curtains, Blinds & Bath. Interior decorating is one of her many passions and it shows through her work with clients! A Lynchburg native, Cindy purchased the business from her mother in 1994, after working in the original business since she was 21 years old. Cindy re-vamped the store and began offering a custom line of window treatments and expanded with demand to bedding, shower, and more. Due to such a high demand for in-stock unique items for the window, she has been able to expand her product lines to encompass more than she ever imagined!
With over thirty years in this industry she has helped to make many homes and businesses beautiful due to her creative eye and attention to the most finite detail! From helping customers in the store, to personal consultations, and simple furniture re-arrangements, Cindy is the leader of her team and enjoys all of her jobs from concept to creation.
Brad Greer
Co-Owner
Brad is the co-owner, business mastermind, and one of the most talkative team members of Curtains, Blinds & Bath. A North Carolina native, Brad moved to Lynchburg when he was in high school. He worked and commuted to the Washington D.C. area for multiple years until he and his wife Cindy purchased the business together in 1994.
Due to his ingenuity and desire to bring quality products at discount pricing to the Lynchburg area, he developed the blind and shade aspect of the business. Now accounting for a large portion of sales, their ability to incorporate this industry into the soft decorating end makes Brad and Cindy a strong duo to beat. Brad's knowledge of the blind and shade industry is extremely vast and no job is too small or large for him!
