Where did the summer go?

As we head into the fall months, many may feel like time is slipping away for yard and outdoor home projects. Even though some prime months have passed, there’s still time to accomplish plans, at least in part, or to start planning for the next year.

For your yard concerns or wish list updates, you might want to consider something new. Karina Mae of Garden Search & Rescue again shares her expertise on lawn alternatives, which can beautify a yard while reducing maintenance.

Do you want to compost and reduce the environmental impact of food waste but don’t have the time or yard space to do so? Derek Fry from Curbside Composter shares the benefits and importance of composting along with how you can do it at home and work

even if you’ve previously thought it wasn’t feasible.

We’re thrilled to showcase a beautiful kitchen and mudroom renovation by Chads Design Build, and share a downtown Madison condo transformation by Dream House Dream Kitchens. As always, you can find some great ideas from all our editorial features, and if

you like what you see, you know who to reach out to for your next project.

We appreciate you picking up Home Elements & Concepts each quarter and encourage you to connect with our incredible editorial and advertising partners.
