Affordable Artistry: Unbelievably imaginative at PoshTots! | As a company full of employees who love design and inspiration, PoshTots immediately connected with an organization called Room Service Atlanta when it was brought to us last fall. RSA is a non-profit that was developed in 2010 by talented designers, Erika Ward and Dayka Robinson, as a way to combine their love for design with their commitment to serve others.
They work with shelters in Atlanta to create comfortable interiors for homeless families and youth that will inspire them as they work to get back on their feet. In October 2012, we teamed up with RSA on a big design project for the United Methodist Children’s Home‘s Independent Living Program in Decatur, Georgia. Six studio apartments were redesigned for foster care youth who are preparing for independence. Our long-time friend and fabulous designer, Annette Joseph, redesigned one of the rooms. We were honored that she and RSA wanted to place some of our Posh products in a double room shared by two young gentlemen. Check out some of the stunning before and after shots shown in the video below! Erika and Dayka are looking forward to completing their Spring project right after Mother’s Day. This time RSA is designing TWO cottages that house girls ages 17-21. We at Posh are inspired by Room Service Atlanta and hope to help with many projects to come! “It’s our honor and greatest privilege to serve our community with our talents.
For everyone deserves a beautiful place to call home no matter where that may be.” –Erika Ward Flash Sale on popular rugs at PoshTots! | Using the Shaggy Raggy Rug as a design statement: Thoughts from PoshTots Lead Designer Patty Grogan.

Last Day to save on Little Castle Gliders at PoshTots! | Stately savings on presidential picks at PoshTots! | When selecting a glider there’s a lot to consider – size, style, color/pattern and long-term use. Yes, that’s right – long-term use. Gliders and rockers have outgrown the nursery. With so many styles, from double gliders to recliners, you can repurpose the comfy seat from nursery to guest room, living room, media room; it can play a supporting role to your other furnishings in any room. If you’re having twins you may want to consider a chair and a half or two gliders.
Call a smartly styled NYC loft home? Select a smaller glider that saves space and still provides plenty of comfort. Some guidelines from the ultimate trusted source, Consumer Reports:When you’re testing models for your wish list, sit in the chair and glide away. That’s the best way to tell if a chair’s seat fits you comfortably. Have your spouse try it out too if both of you will be using it. Get a glider with a generously wide seat and arms that won’t hem you in. Both these features are especially important if you plan to use a nursing pillow. And with a baby on board, you’ll need the room. Springs under the seat. You may find four small springs that secure a bottom piece of fabric to the chair frame. The underbelly of the seat shouldn’t be just fabric glued to a frame. You won’t have much support or shock absorption.If you choose a glider, you’ll want to know if the bearings, which run the gliding mechanism, have a warranty. They get a lot of wear over time.
With gliders, ten years is a good warranty length, although a lifetime warranty is better. Some guidelines from OUR ultimate trusted source, PoshTots Lead Designer, Patty Grogan:The size of the glider should be determined by who will be sitting in it. Which parent will be doing the feeding at 2am? Keep space in mind too, is there enough room to recline? There might only be enough room to rock!Keep comfort in mind by checking out the seat depth as well as the seat and back height. Ask yourself if you want it to recline, as many hours will be spent in this chair.When selecting the style, color and fabric design, coordinate it with your nursery color scheme but do not go crazy with color or pattern because you want the flexibility to be able to coordinate it with the next stage of furnishings for your child. Also, selecting neutral colors and simple patterns will allow you the flexibility to move the glider to other rooms in your home.Try to select a chair frame and fabric that coordinates with design style of the rest of the rooms in your home so you have the option to reuse it.
