Sandra Foster turned a Catskills hunting cabin into the romantic Victorian cottage she had always wanted.
Ms. Foster has her own shabby-chic retreat. It may not have a bathroom or a kitchen, but it is a dream of Victoriana: stacks of Limoges china with tiny rosebud patterns; chandeliers dripping crystal; billows of tissue-paper garlands.
This is all the more impressive because she renovated the 9-by-14-foot cottage, an old hunting cabin, herself. The cost of renovating and furnishing it: $3,000.
The couple lives in an RV trailer near by called the “Groove Tube” and I have put a couple of pictures of it below. The article is very interesting so be sure and read it at the New York Times website.

Before the renovation, the cabin was originally a 9-by-10-foot box, with a porch roof supported by white willow tree trunks.
