I\u2019m Karley Olson, and I am proud to bring custom, high-quality window treatments to our neighbors across the Cedar Rapids and Corridor area.\n\nBefore launching this business, I spent years navigating the fast-paced tech industry. While I loved solving complex problems, the rapid rise of digital automation and AI made me realize I wanted to invest my energy into something different\u2014something real, reliable, and deeply rooted in our physical community.\n\nAs a mom of three, I also reached a point where the traditional corporate ladder didn\u2019t fit my family\u2019s lifestyle anymore. I didn&#039;t want to restart at the bottom of a corporate structure for a third time, missing out on everyday moments like picking up my kids from school. I needed a path that demanded hard work but allowed me to do it on my own terms.\n\nThat desire for flexibility and a hands-on product led me to create Bumble Bee Blinds of Cedar Rapids. Today, I swap software screens for premium fabrics, textures, and custom design layouts that you can touch, feel, and love. I love working closely with homeowners to find the perfect shades, shutters, or motorized blinds that truly make a house feel like a home.\n\nWhen I\u2019m not partnering with clients or overseeing a flawless professional installation, you\u2019ll find me managing school calendars, enjoying family time, and staying active in the local Cedar Rapids community.\n\nThank you for supporting a local, family-minded business. I can\u2019t wait to help you transform your space!\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                src=\"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-02-11.02.42-AM-e1790957032407.png\"\n                                alt=\"Karley Olson\"\n                                class=\"w-full object-cover object-top\"\n                                style=\"height: 300px;\" \/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                src=\"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-content\/themes\/tailwind-boilerplate\/assets\/card-blind.png\"\n                                alt=\"decorative blind\"\n                                class=\"w-full object-cover\"\n                                aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n                                                <div class=\"mt-4 flex-grow\">\n                                                            <h3 class=\"text-h3 !text-white mb-2\">\n                                    Karley Olson                                <\/h3>\n                                                                                        <p class=\"mt-2 text-sm opacity-90\">\n                                    Owner                                <\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_custom_schema_markup":"","_bbb_schema_extension":"[]","_bbb_schema_webpage_type":"","_local_blog_meta_title":"","_local_blog_meta_description":"","_local_blog_og_title":"","_local_blog_og_description":"","_local_blog_og_image_id":0,"_local_blog_twitter_title":"","_local_blog_twitter_description":""},"class_list":["post-34","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumblebeeblinds.com\/cedar-rapids-ia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
