Anything But Basic

Rachael Street takes on a builder-basic row home in Philadelphia's East Passyunk neighborhood and intends to flip it fast. Her plan for converting this home into a designer-chic abode includes rebuilding the kitchen peninsula, creating entertaining space on the first floor and reconfiguring the second floor to accommodate much-needed storage space. Her dreams of turning this home around quickly are threatened, however, when she is forced to replace the home's knob-and-tube wiring.
