About PoshTots 

PoshTots.com is a company started in 2000 by dot.com moms with a love of children and unique art.

When it comes to furnishing your child's room, selecting inspiring furniture is only part of the picture.

The magic is in how you put it all together.

Founders Karen Adams and Andrea Edmunds share a common vision. A child's room is more than just a place to sleep. It is a place to play, learn, dream and grow. An environment where a child can enjoy all the simple pleasures of being a child. Creating that kind of environment is no small challenge. It requires finding just the right furnishings and accessories, then combining them in a way that mirrors the child's personality and interests.

Karen and Andrea's innovative design work has been featured in People Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, House Beautiful, InStyle, Better Homes and Gardens, along with many other national publications.



They are known as the "designers of choice" not only for many Hollywood Moms, but for clients around the globe. They have appeared on Access Hollywood, Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, and countless other television design shows. Their unique style and commitment to the finest craftsmanship has established PoshTots as the destination for the world's most extraordinary children's furnishings.

A lot of serious thinking goes into a PoshTots room design.

But we think children deserve it.

If you are looking for the best-of-the-best in nursery and children's decor, look no further than Posh Tots. The web site of choice for many celebrity parents, Posh Tots features luxury baby bedding and top end baby furniture and accessories.

Whether it’s cable, running water, electricity, central air or a wireless communication system, Alan can accommodate your wishes.

Comprehensive interior design services are also available through designer Michelle Pollak who helps clients with a variety of interior details such as window treatments, moldings, paint colors, furnishings, rugs and flooring including wood, marble or Mexican tile.

Adding A Playhouse 

Adding a playhouse to your backyard can open a world of playtime opportunity for your kids. Here are some ideas to make that playspace the best that it can be!

Plan the Location Carefully: As with any play structures in your yard, you'll want to site your playhouse so it's visible from one or two main windows - perhaps your kitchen or family room, so that monitoring your kids is an easy task. You'll want to be sure that play activities are easily in sight to watch for falls, mishaps or unruly behavior.

Consider "Fall Zones": For play equipment and the adventure houses like the Pirate Ship, measure out from each ladder, set of steps, swings, porches or balconies to about 6 feet or so. This will give your kids enough room for jumping, climbing and playing with friends without interference from shrubs and other plantings. This is also a good rule for swingsets, slides and climbing structures. Measure out a safe falling distance from the sides of these structures as well - you know how kids are. Fall zones are standard measures calculated into all professional playgrounds as part of the National Playground Safety Institute standards.

Create a Soft Landing Surface: In the areas that your kids are jumping, climbing and sliding, create a soft landing surface with mulch, pea gravel or sand. Packed earth and grass are not acceptible surfaces.

Make Your Walkways Safe: If you're adding an enticing cobblestone or flagstone walkway to your Playhouse, set those stones and pavers flush with the ground to prevent tripping and to allow easy maintenance and mowing.

Decorate with Your Child: Once you've had your playhouse installed, now the fun can begin! Why not sit down with your child and plan some decorating ideas for the interior. What kinds of toys should be in the house to share with friends. Imagine what games you might play in there and then equip the kitchen and cupboards with fun activities. Let your child choose the curtains, area rugs and theme of their adventurehouse interior - this will be grand fun for you both.

A Child's Garden Space: The playhouse can come alive with some colorful plantings. Create a color palette for the playstructure, then work with your kids finding easy maintenance perennials and colorful shrubs that will add to the romance and beauty of your backyard. Maintaining 4 inches of shredded bark mulch in these areas will keep the playhouse garden weed free.
