Each month we post approximately two home improvement-related articles and/or links to the MOSAIC Group blog. Here's a timely article from Mary Kay Woodworth of the Urban Ag Council on fall landscaping. Go here to sign up for future blog posts.
It’s great to live in Georgia, where the climate is conducive to enjoying the outdoors 12 months a year. But if you're like me, I’m ready for cool nights and not-so-hot and humid daytime temperatures! As both an avid gardener and someone who professionally spends a lot of time with landscape pros, I can attest that once September arrives, we all breathe a collective sigh of relief when we step outside in the morning and can “feel” fall in the air! The forecast for the next few weeks confirms that we’re almost there, so here are some suggestions for your fall landscape endeavors.

Jennifer Offers Kitchen Remodeling Advice |

Have a question about remodeling?
Ask a MOSAIC pro. We'll answer your questions in future issues of this e-newsletter. We start the ball rolling with Jennifer Hicks, CKD, MOSAIC's talented kitchen designer.
Q: Rather than building an addition, how can you gain space for a kitchen renovation?
Hicks: Always explore the adjacent spaces. Do you have a formal dining room or living room that only gets used several times each year? Do you use those spaces in the most efficient way? Sometimes a small change, like opening up a space to another room, can make a big difference.
Q: What's the trick to creating an efficient work space?
Hicks: Examine who and how many people will use the space and how it will be used. Then plan for those needs.
Work with someone who is familiar with the National Kitchen & Bath Association's Kitchen Guidelines. Years of research went into crafting them. The guidelines will help you stay safe and have a functioning space. (http://www.nkba.org/Design/Professionals/Guidelines.aspx)
Q: If you have a limited budget, what's worth the splurge?
A: Go for the one item you have your heart set on. It could be a cool faucet or a beautiful light fixture.
Too many people try to compromise to save money. In the end, they regret not going with their favorite item or first choice. |

Project Spotlight:
Dynamic Gathering Space |
| |
These homeowners had a beautiful spa/pool and loved to grill out with friends. But the existing pool decking was more like a concrete doughnut that surrounded the pool. They wanted a new look with an outdoor kitchen and more spaces to interact.
MOSAIC Group removed and reshaped the pool to create unique spaces. We used the natural woods as the backdrop and guiding design force. The shrubs and perennials we chose provide maximum year-round color and interest.
