DOERR FURNITURE

“Doerr is one of the last furniture stores on both the Northshore and Southshore to have solid wood furniture that is made in America. The quality is simply like no other,” says Pamella Aline, manager of Doerr’s Covington store. Finding high quality furniture can be a daunting task. Creating custom furniture that will last decades may be even trickier, but not when Pamella and her team at Doerr Furniture help you.

When Charles Doerr started Doerr Furniture in the Marigny on Elysian Fields over eighty years ago, he knew he was creating something special—and it inspired homeowners all over town to upgrade their furniture. Doerr was a hardworking man who passed on his work ethic to his kids. Eventually, Charles’ daughter, Marilyn, married Lloyd Mutter, who would later run the company. Their children began working at a young age, learning the ropes.

Julian, Gary, David, Randy and Melanie are now officers of Doerr Furniture and continue to carry on their grandfather’s legacy by creating one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted furniture. After expanding to the Northshore three years ago, they needed someone to manage the Covington location. Pamella Aline knew that Doerr Furniture was something special and that her knowledge of the Northshore would help make the new store a success.

As a Northshore native, Pamella is familiar with the many different types of design her clients want in their homes. Doerr Furniture offers custom, traditional, contemporary and even transitional furniture for all styles of homes. “The difference with Doerr is that you are getting top-grain leather, real wood that is harvested and processed in America and a guarantee that this piece of furniture is strong, durable and will last for many years.” Doerr also offers a made-in-America bedding line from Shifman, a 100-year-old bedding company that produces handmade cotton mattresses.

Today, the Mutter family still prides themselves on offering well-made custom furniture at reasonable prices. Doerr’s design consultants allow you to make as many changes as you want, making it more of a fun, creative experience rather than your typical furniture-buying process. Pamella says, “We want you to love every piece you choose. You will never feel pressured or discouraged when you come to Doerr Furniture. Whether you are looking for a lamp, or furnishing an entire home, we want to help you. What’s inside your furniture and how it’s made should be just as important as what’s inside a person.”

When Pamella isn’t managing Doerr Furniture, she enjoys spending time with her two sons, Storm and Braeden, or cuddling up with her golden retrievers, Caspian and Sahara. Planning with her fiancé, Dr. James Rehkopf, for their wedding in October is a priority now. Pamella also enjoys writing, traveling, and reading novels, especially on the sandy white beaches of Florida.

While Pamella leads a busy schedule, she always manages to go above and beyond for her clients. “Doerr Furniture strives to provide excellent service, ensuring that you won’t just feel like another customer; instead, you feel more like you are part of a family.”

Doerr Furniture is located at 1645 N. Hwy. 190, Suite 600, in Covington. 900-2425, doerrfurniture.com.
