A New York Times Home and Garden article by Joyce Wadler shows off a tiny Victoria cottage in the Catskills.
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.
