Living on the Main Line means living in an old home. Living in an old home means you have a kitchen to redo. Not an easy process, but well worth it since many of us live most of our lives in the kitchen. Since I am not a huge cook I didn't go for the 9 burner stove. In fact, I found my stove on craigslist! Which freed up some of the budget for nice tile!
I had excellent help from Candy at
Gravena Tile . We also used Richelou Construction, Donato plumbing and Village Cabinetry.
