I am completely enchanted by this little Victorian cottage in the Catskills.  Once an old hunting cabin, the now shabby chic cottage is packed with charm yet still lacks a bathroom and kitchen.  The owners, Sandra and Todd Foster, live in a 1971 trailer across a nearby stream.  Ms. Foster renovated the 9 by 14 foot cottage on a $3,000 budget all by herself decorating with pieces from flea markets and salvage shops.  I’m swooning over the flower box and chalky white chandeliers.  She calls the place her “refuge.”  Well deserved!
