NICE TO MEET YOU
Posh Places is committed to making your dream home or office a reality. With four certified interior designers on staff, our experience, imagination and forward thinking can help ensure your makeover will be the fun and amazing adventure it should be.
We start with the development of a custom design that balances scale and proportion with function and comfort. We leverage the best of current technology, new products, and latest construction techniques to create a carefully curated plan – according to scale and budget – punctuated by impeccable attention to detail and longevity.
What’s more, Posh Places’ hands-on approach to fabrication and construction leads to refreshingly smart interiors and exteriors. We collaborate with architects, general contractors and property developers to make exclusive design affordable. We also often serve as liaisons between clients and contractors to keep projects on time and within budget, minimizing delays that can result from uncoordinated services.
Based in North Lima, Ohio, Posh Places collaborates with residential and commercial clients throughout Ohio, western PA and even Florida. We also have a 12,000-square-foot retail design center filled with inspiration, from furniture and accessories to flooring and finishes.

TESS
Interior Designer
Northeast Ohio's premier interior designer, Tess Etzler has more than 30 years experience creating beautifully livable residential and commercial spaces. Known for innovative ideas that are executed with timeliness, quality and attention to detail, she transforms everyday spaces into extraordinary showcases. “My team’s goal is to become the bridge between your dreams and the reality of building a perfect house,” says Tess. “We are not only designing your home, we are creating your lifestyle."
A graduate of the interior design program at Kent State University, Tess has been awarded “Best of Houzz” within the Service category for three out of the past four years. The service honor is based on several factors, including a pro’s overall rating on Houzz and client reviews. Only a fraction of the more than 2.5 million active home building, remodeling, and design industry professionals on Houzz are selected for this award.
KELLEN
Interior Designer
For the last decade, Kellen has eagerly accepted the challenge of making kitchen and baths both beautiful and functional. She especially enjoys layering “old with new” by incorporating antiques and vintage finds in more contemporary spaces, like displaying a claw foot tub in a modern bathroom or re-upholstering a traditional furniture piece in a fun, new fabric.
“I grew up watching home decorating shows with my mom and decided when I was about 13 that I wanted to pursue interior design,” recalls Kellen. “I job shadowed a local designer in junior high and completely gutted and remodeled our home bathroom for my senior project in high school.” Her interest in construction and design motivated her to graduate Summa Cum Laude from The University of Akron Interior Design program and establish a career with Posh Places. “I love sharing all of the amazing products and materials we carry,” says the Salem, Ohio resident, “especially the drapery design and fabrics.”
TJ
Construction Supervisor
With decades of experience within the construction industry, TJ is a seasoned craftsman able to solve virtually any residential or commercial construction challenge. From bathroom and kitchen remodels to custom carpentry – such as doors, trim, flooring and crown molding – TJ is a master at incorporating traditional methods of woodworking with present day technology.
A life-long resident of Youngstown, good-humored TJ started on construction sites at 9 years old alongside family, and opened his own business when he was just 18. Now a father of two and grandfather of three, TJ is humbled to have his son following in his footsteps. “It’s not a job,” he says, “when you get to create something special every day.”
Bob
Construction Site Manager
A proud Poland High School grad and life-long resident of the valley, Bob’s been helping create beautiful spaces for our clients for well over a decade. He started working in construction with his father at a young age and credits his dad for his strong work ethic. “I’m lucky to have learned from the best,” he says with a smile. “Dad was a hard worker and a great role model.” Bob’s passion is specialty tile work and he loves assisting with kitchen layouts.
When he’s not bringing Tess’s creative visons to life, you’ll find him watching football and playing in local pool leagues.
