<DIV>For kitchen and bath remodeling, I'd highly recommend</DIV>
<DIV>Courtyard Kitchens. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>http://www.courtyardkitchensofhampstead.com/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>They are based out in Hampstead but have a lot of</DIV>
<DIV>experience remodeling in old rowhouses. They were</DIV>
<DIV>originally recommended to me by a friend of a friend</DIV>
<DIV>whose kitchen they remodeled in Hampden. They</DIV>
<DIV>did our kitchen last Fall and were pretty quick</DIV>
<DIV>and the quality of work was very good. Also very</DIV>
<DIV>professional. Oh, and flexilbe. They were fine</DIV>
<DIV>with letting me look for good deals and buy the</DIV>
<DIV>appliances, flooring, tiles, lighting, hardware from</DIV>
<DIV>wherever I wanted and they installed it. I just had</DIV>
<DIV>to buy the cabinets through them.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I do have some beautiful hammered copper accent tile</DIV>
<DIV>I ended up not using if anyone is interested. I've</DIV>
<DIV>been meaning to put it up on Craig's list but haven't</DIV>
<DIV>gotten around to it.</DIV>
