" Couple Christina Salway and John Moskowitz wanted a farmhouse, but finding the perfect one, on the right property, in a town they loved, and within their budget was like finding a needle in a haystack, reported The New York Times in a recent story. So when the couple stumbled upon a worn-down farmhouse on a weekend drive to Callicoon, New York, they decided to take a risk (and take on a major renovation project) by making it their own.  According to the Times, Salway and Moskowitz purchased the 2,000-square-foot farmhouse, set on 43 acres, for $205,000 and set about renovating the dropped ceilings, linoleum floors, and broken windows. They hired professionals for the big projects (like the plumbing), but did all the cosmetic face-lifts themselves, keeping the reno budget at $30,000. The completed farmhouse is a one-of-a-kind reflection of the owners&amp;#039; personal tastes, a blend of country-style Craigslist finds and antiques, with a warm and welcoming aesthetic.  Get inspired by taking a tour inside the stunning finished product\u2014and read more about the renovation process\u2014at The New York Times.
