Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a great week.
I asked Lori, if I could purchase a gift card to her beautiful shop to go along with her interview,
I love Lori's Shop... and I think you will too...
Lori was so generous to go in on the gift card with me.
Thank you Lori!
Giveaway information will be at the bottom of this post...
I wanted to feature Lori today, not only because I love her designs, but also because Lori
is the person responsible for introducing me to the world of blogging.
I remember the day I discovered Lori's site.
I spent the evening going through her blogs, Frugal Farmhouse Design and White Flower Farmhouse Blog....
I was immediately drawn to her style.
Lori can turn any house on a very tight budget into a beautiful farmhouse....
I hope you enjoy my interview with Lori, and get a chance to visit her website....
I will let Lori take it from here....
First off I want to congratulate you on the first year anniversary of your blog. I cannot believe that it was just one year ago that we were having the conversation about you possibly starting a blog, and look at what you have achieved in only one year. You have a true passion for what you do and it shows through you words and the camera lens.
You have done an incredible job with your blog and have achieved so much in this short of time.
Most of all you have become and inspiration to your readers. Keep up the great work inspiring us.
I am looking forward to all the exciting moments the future will bring.
Happy one year blogging anniversary!
Maria asked me to say a little about myself and shop, even though this post really should be about her.
I will share a few things that she asked me to.
A picture of Lori's kitchen
What inspired you to start a blog (Frugal Farmhouse Design)?
I have always had a passion for creativity and design- especially on a budget. Megan encouraged me to share it through a blog. At the time I did not even know what a blog was! I had no idea it would turn into what it has become today and I am forever grateful.
Lori's blog is called Frugal Farmhouse Design
Lori's blog is called Frugal Farmhouse Design
Lori's kitchen was featured in Country Living
How do you hope to inspire others with your blog, Frugal Farmhouse Design?
I want to get the message out that it does not take tons or even money to have a beautiful and classic home with great style. I think that there is a lot of pressure out there in the design world to spend, spend, spend! The trends are constantly changing, which keeps the consumer spending money. My personal thoughts are that consumerism is at an all time high. Some of these design trends are ridiculous, expensive, and wasteful. Do you really think that a chair that looks like an airplane cockpit, or that bright orange graphic sofa is a good investment? Will it still be in style 10 years from now? Just something to ponder.
A Beach Cottage Porch Makeover...
I love how Lori paints so many of the floors in her makeovers gray....
I love how Lori paints so many of the floors in her makeovers gray....
How did you get started as an interior designer?
I left my career as a graphic designer 16 years ago to stay at home with my babies. We had to live on my husbands salary alonge, which is not easy to do on Long Island ( a wonderful but very expensive place to live unfortunately) I furnished almost my entire home with yard sale finds and thrift shop caste offs that I re-furbished or painted. To make a long story short, friends and family saw what I was doing. They would not believe what I could do with some old piece of "junk" I started to get requests for certain items for other people and it just escalated from there.
How would you describe your design style?
My personal style is simple, calming, comfortable, clutter free, creamy whites and soft beige paint colors, lots of natural materials and textures. I like to mix in vintage and a few unusual accessories too.
Where do you look for inspiration?
I can find inspiration in many different ways. It might be an object or a color that sets the tone for a new room design. If I had to choose a designer it would be Tricia Foley. I love everything about her classic and simple style.
What is your favorite room to design in a home and why?
I love kitchens, to me they are the heart of the home. I know that this is where I spend most of my time with my family.
click on the link above if you would like to read more about this makeover
What has been your biggest design challenge?
I am currently working on a project for New York Newsday, where I have to re-do a room with NO MONEY.
I can use what ever I can that is already in the home- Nothing else. I am finding this one to be the biggest challenge. I am loving it at the same time.

Do you have a favorite color of white paint that you like to use?
It is a creamy white called, Ballet White by Benjamin Moore.
How does one go about achieving a farmhouse look in their own home?
Farmhouse style has been around for such a long time, it really has stood the test of time. It amazes me that there are photos of old farmhouses in America taken almost 100 years ago and there are many things that not changed. Classic pieces are always old pine tables, simple (often painted) furniture, wood floors, homespun linen, simple window treatments or shutters, ticking fabric, utilitarian collections. Farmhouse style to me exudes an overall feeling of warmth and comfort. A cozy and safe haven from the sometimes harsh world outside.
I love the name of your shop, White Flower Farmhouse, is there a story behind the name?
I love the color white, so I wanted to incorporate that into the name. Farmhouse is the basic style of the shop. I wanted to make sure that the shop would be an affordable place to buy from. I made a rule when I first opened the doors that I would have the merchandise that would range from $1 and go no higher then $500.00 That is what has kept me going strong for over eight years.
Where is your shop located?
In a very cool and popular tourist destination. The North Fork of eastern Long Island in a town called Peconic. Want to know a secret....this fork has much of what that south fork offers on the Hampton side only for MUCH LESS MONEY!!!

The bread board, the trim, the burlap bag, the grain bag and the linen fabric! Thanks for a tremendous giveaway! Suzie purrpage3 at verizon dot net
I posted on my FB at http://www.facebook.com/suziebutton
Suzie purrpage3 at verizon dot net
What a wonderful interview. Lori has a beautiful shop and it would be hard to choose. I like everything she has! I am eyeing the pretty homespun linen sheets. Thank you for the opportunity, Maria!
I posted too on Twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/SuzieButtons
Suzie purrpage3 at verizon dot net
I love the fisherman floats and the grainbags and the breadboards.
I really enjoyed this interview and have enjoyed Lori's blog and White Flower Farmhouse...In fact, when I first started blogging, the first or second post that I ever wrote was called, "White Flower Wednesday"...At the time, I had my eye on a Dash & Albert rug. Now I have my eye on a linen sheet for the foot of my bed (among other things). It's a truly beautiful shop.
Hugs,
Jami
I would definitely get one of those bread boards, that cute pitcher and a sap bucket. I love her shop! Thanks for the giveaway!
I tweeted about the giveaway.
I also posted a link on my FB page. Thanks again1
You both have beautiful blogs! I especially love the zinc pots and the glass knobs...but would be happy to shop for much more. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a fabulous prize!!
Trisha
I just love her blogs! With a gift certificate, I would start with the vintage bucket, 3 utility drawers, and the flower frog. Loved the interview!
Hey! I rent a tiny little cottage and I would LOVE to fill it up with those amazing linens! What a fabulous store!
I love the wire baskets or the wicker bottle holder! Really I love it all!
I just ordered something from Lori yesterday! I love her shop and her blog. If I were to win, I'd probably order ironstone and/or linen. Those are my 2 passions and I can't get enough!
Jill Palumbo
I don't think I could decide right now what I would want! So many great things. I just did my whole living room and most of my bedroom and bathroom in white too :)
The linen sheets remind me of my nana's house when we would sleep over so I would want those. Linen sheets age beautifully too, just like Nana!
Thanks you for this great giveaway opportunity, Maria! I've often enjoyed Lori's blog. Maybe a trip to Long Island is in order for me.... :)
I would spend the GC on linens and maybe one or two of those great sap buckets!
- Susan
Ouuu what a fun shopping spree that would be!
I love the...
pitchers, glass knobs, linens, the signs.... one of everything would be perfect! :-)
Hugs, Dolly
Love Lori's style. I even ordered the same lights she has in her kitchen. Anyway, I would love some of the linens or the zinc tray or....
Thanks!
Well, I don't think it would be hard to spend $200. on her site. I loved all of it. I mean all! Thanks for sending me there. And of course, I love your site too.
take care,
Leslie
Congrats on your milestone! What a lovely interview with one of my other favorite bloggers - I've been following both of your blogs for a long time now and love them! Lori's shop is amazing and I'm in love with the pillows, breadboards, wooden spoons, tin planters .... :)
I am in love with the bread board and also the ticking pillows. This is so sweet of y'all to do this.
First I would add to my flower frog collection, and then white pitchers, skeleton keys, and zinc pots are calling my name!!
nettecan at hotmail dot com
Wow, there are so many great things. I'm like a kid in a candy store!
I would START with the fishing floats and seahorse shutters. I also love the homespun sheet and the linen bag. The 3 bottles... I could go on and on...
Thank you so much for this amazing giveaway!

I love Lori's site! I'd like the old glass fishing floats and the market basket, please. Or maybe the sap buckets. or the galvanized bucket.... hard to choose.

i just shared about this giveaway also on facebook :)
Soap dish, flower frogs, grain sacks...who could possibley narrow it down to one item.
I love her shop! I browse online at least once a week. I've wanted one of her driftwood sailboats for awhile now. If I won, I think I'd just have to take a road trip:)
She has a beautiful site, love so much as I have a room that I want to do a beachy theme so those old fishing balls looked awesome and would be perfect, not to mention everything else!
Anything in the beach cottage. I love it all!
I tweeted!
I facebooked too!
The driftwood sailboats. I've been drooling over them for some time now....
Wonderful interview!! Hard to pick, but I loved the sea horse shutters! Makes me think of sunshine and spring!!
holly_petty27@yahoo.ca
What would I like if I won? I would love to have the German Pitcher and the Zinc Watering Can and maybe some linens.
I would purchase linens.
Oh where do I begin... I love the sap buckets, zinc pots, utility drawers, galvanized trough, my list of WANTS can go on and on. I only wish I lived near the farmhouse shop to make regular visits and find inspiration. So happy I found this amazing blog.
How could one possibly choose, everything is so beautiful! I think I would spend the gift card entirely on linens!
Yay! I have added your giveaway post to my facebook.
hIp hIp hOOrAY! You are now posted on my blog. Fingers crossed I get picked.
I'd like some homespun sheets.
lovelydomesticdiva (at) gmail (dot) com
I would love the vintage european homespun sheets. and also the military blanket.
Thank you.
Diane
Oh boy, I would take the linens for sure! What a great giveaway! So many great choices.
I would definitely get the homespun sheets--they look so beautiful and versatile! Lori's mentioned them on her design blog (which I love--I can't wait for the big reveal of the kitchen she's working on) and I've been longing for them since.
This store is amazing why did I not know about it before! I love that galvanized trough. So cool!
Wow, I loved Lori's style, and products! I loved everything, but was most excited about the toy boat. We are doing our son's nursery in a nautical theme (my husband's in the navy) so it would be precious in there! Congrats on the anniversary!
Thank you featuring White Flower Farm House. I love her style and how she decorates on a dime. The items I would be interested in are: Linen sheet, floats, German Creamer and flower frogs.
Always, Teresa T.
Wow! So hard to choose something! Everything is so delicious. Perhaps something from the linen range. Beautiful!
I posted about the giveaway on my facebook page...Love your blog by the way, it is so inspiring!
Congrats on one year! This store looks lovely. I would definitely indulge in two of her homespun linen sheets to cover my white couch...with a dog, cat and twin girls on this way this summer, I am going to need to cover my couch like you did with yours!!! xoxo, Valentina
I am loving the breadboards and I am sure I could figure out something to buy with the rest of the money...there are so many unique objects!
What a beautiful shop she has! I love the galvenized buckets and the zinc pots! Can you tell I am itching for spring?!!
I enjoyed the interview...thanks! Liking her galvanized trough for sure.
I just found your shio thru Lori!! Thanks for this great giveaway. love Lori's linen sheets and I've had my eye on the swim girl. She's sweet.
There are SO many items I'd love to purchase... the zinc items really speak to me though!
Thanks for a great giveaway :)
I would start with the plated compote and some zinc pots, but the giftcard is so generous, I would have to do more thinking to use it all up.
I loved this interview---I love Tricia Foley too. I will visit the Frugal Farmhouse blog...I hadn't seen it before.
I love the army blankets and striped grain sack fabric/towels.
Karen
I love the welcome sign and the striped pillow cases. lovely!
Happy anniversary! Ok, I love the White Flower Farmhouse! I would love to have one of her great farm tables! I have the same chairs she has, but no table yet. If I didn't get a table...I would love all the galvanized items; the bucket, the trays, utility drawers. I also really like the zinc pots! I saw you on Nate and have loved your blog ever since!
I think I'll just buy everything! No really I love the zinc pots and the grainsacks! So awesome! I hope I win! Thanks for doing the giveaway!
Alisha
First of all let me just state that I am thrilled to have happened upon your blog and now the frugal farmhouse blog. Both are delightful. The shop is chalked full of gorgeous items. These are a few items that I found to be quite beautiful:
Bread Board
Galvanized Trough
Plated Compote
Four Knobs
Iron Brackets
Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I am making over the master bedroom and just barely making a dent into the Farmhouse style, which I have just recently decided is definitely the style for me. So I would love some of those homespun linen sheets to get me going. :)
What a fantastic giveaway!! I love the sap buckets and the farm basket, ironstone plates....gosh how fun that would be to spend $200 at her place!
thanks
mary

Wow, what a hard choice. I love the utility draws, the bread boards, the floats, all the linens. Beautiful shop.

So many wonderful things to choose from! I'd begin with an ironstone plate, a few beakers and some fishing floats!
Lori's blog was the first one that followed, i helped me really understand my design style and how to achieve. Lori is a great inspiration. I have been keeping my eye on her homespun linens, her breadboards and the lovely candleholder for months now.

I'm posting your giveaway on my sidebar right now!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! There's so many things that I love!
The linens
The weathered mirror
The iron brackets
What a sweet store! If I won the contest, I would use the gift card on items I could use in my vintage camper, which I am restoring.
The wool military blanket for starters. Plus a grain bag and a couple of ticking pillows.
I wonder if $200 would buy me a consult from her as to how to get my house to have that Farmhouse look!!!
I love the weathered Welcome board, and all the old wood items!!!
Wow! Everything is beautiful! I would love to have anything in "the beach cottage". I love the sea floats, the seahorse, and the swimming lady! All so fun!
until recently, I never liked white, but i saw a show Nate Berkus did on decorating with white and I've been hooked ever since.
I love her white cupboard cabinets (and the whiteboarded room you're decorating!!!)
I would love to have those glass doorknobs and that herb wreath... I did not see ONE item I would not love... she's got a great place. Too bad it's so far away (I'm in Atlanta!)
I really enjoyed this interview! Congrats on 1 year Maria! My current fav WFFH items are the white sap buckets & homespun sheets. What an amazing giveaway!
Lara
I just added the link on my sidebar. :)

And I just posted about this amazing giveaway on FB as well. Keeping my fingers crossed! :)) This is going to be one very lucky lady who wins!

Lori's blog was also one of the first blogs I ever saw. I love the things she sells in her shop. The bread broards and grain sacks are favorites for me. Congratulations on your blog anniversary. I am a follower and it is people like you who have inspired me to start my own blog. It has been one month for me. I would love to win this giveaway!
I would buy the zinc watering can and some of the zinc flower pots. I am new to your blog and just love it! So very, very pretty. Thank you for introducing us to Whiteflower Farm
How can a girl choose ONE thing from all that beauty!! If I had to it would be the utility drawers - so chic! Thank you for introducing me to this wonerful store and blog - heaven!
Definitely the homespun linen and maybe some of her pillows (if they have not been sold out). Thank you for the giveaway!
jennifer.cl.law@gmail.com
Oh it's all so fab it's hard to pick.I have had my eye on the burlap bag & grain sacks as well as the linen sheets.
Congratulations on the big 1 year! Lots has opened up for you since.~Cheers Kim
WOW!!!! What an extraordinary giveaway! I would get the silver compote and pitcher to start with...there are so many other beautiful pieces too, I am not sure how I would decide.
I hope you all continue to be on the mend!
It would be so fun and yet so hard to choose! I love the wire baskets and all the linens. I have been a fan of the White Flower Farmhouse site and often visit for a little inspiration when I am trying to come up with a new idea for my shop. My favorite image is the white sheets out on the clothesline. I always line-dry my sheets and just love their clothsline!!! Thank you for introducing me to their great site and so many others!
Also posted this give-a-way on The Antique Gardener on Facebook!
I love the market basket! And I love, love, love the driftwood boats!
Love, Love, Love White Flower Farmhouse: especially the linens, or beach, or farmhouse, or just any thing from her shop.
Congratulations on your 1st blog anniversary! I love your shop as well as Lori's :) Thanks so much for the chance to enter the contest. I love the linen sheet.
What an amazing giveaway!! I'd fill my cart with lots of the little stuff!
Wow, great offer! I love Lori's shop~ I live in Australia, but grew up on the North Fork. Both blogs put me back 'home'! I would use the voucher for one of the military linen garment bags!
OH. MY. GOODNESS. I ♥ Her Shop! I would buy so many things from here that the $200 would help put a dent for sure :) Some items I would for sure purchase:
- 3 utility drawers (look lovely in my bathroom)
- glass knobs (I'd place these in a neat picture frame I just got)
- homespun sheet (I need this SO bad!)
- pillowcase
- a load of grain bags
- barnwood mirror (IF I could pick it up :( )
- market basket
Such a neat store - thank you for sharing!
I will also be posting to my twitter, blog, and facebook and I will post more comments below for those.
You have been such a fabulous inspiration! I am in the midst of starting a decor blog. We just moved into a smaller home and I have yet to decorate it all. I also want to purchase so many items from your shop! I've just got to figure out exactly what I want to do first! THANK YOU!
I would like a few of everything in her shop, but if you forcing me to choose I would go for one of those beautiful breadboards, and some of the iron brackets!
Congrats on your success! I have enjoyed your blog. I went to the store, turns out I have been there before! My list:
sap bucket,zinc pots, zinc watering can,grain bag,flowerfrog and millinary flowers. I know I went over the 200, but I just love everything. I also have collections such as, gardening accessories, linens, vintage hats. Let's face it, I'm a collector and have been since I was a child. About to tweet.
what fun! i would buy the OKK burlap bag and the bread board. and a sailboat if she gets them in again :)
A lovely store!!! It's difficult to chose just one item!! I definitely want a galvanized bucket!!!! Some glass bottles, and a German creamer!
Bottles and fabric! :)
I love your blog and Lori's blog...I follow them daily! I have loved the driftwood sailboats for ages....so I would have to start with one of those!
I love everything in the White Flower Farmshouse shop...where to start???!!!! Maybe a market basket?
Thank you!
I think I would have to choose the galvanized trough! So beautiful.

Before I start shopping I'd just like to say that in my opinion, the kitchen remodel Lori did for her friend for under $1,000 is blogland's kitchen of the year. I love that kitchen. It is so charming. I can't tell you how many times I've gone back and looked at the pictures. Amazing, I wish I was her neighbor! So, as far as shopping goes, I like the silver compote, linen sheets, pillow cases, ticking pillows, flower frogs...
oh my goodness, I want it all. thank you for this wonderful post, I have to new blogs to follow now. if forced to narrow it down I have to think that my gift certificate would be from the linens section- so very lovely
just added your lovely post to my facebook page

Firstly, congratulations on your one year anniversary! I can't wait until my blog hits that milestone! & Thanks for sharing White Flower farmhouse, I love everything in it! Great interview, too!!!
Wow!!! I would purchase the homespun linen, 4 glass door knobs, and the small glass bottles. OR maybe I'd put the whole gift card towards one of the fabulous farmhouse tables... talk about a great work space! So many beautiful items to choose from :)
oh! & I forgot to mention that I would spend my gift card in the linen closet! So many wonderful things there...and maybe the skeleton keys and the Brooklyn bottles too!! Thanks again- great post!
Hi Maria, I follow yours & Loris blogs. I love your dreamy style. If I were to win the gift card I could get the zinc watering can (love it) and the galvanized bucket. Thanks for the great giveaway. Debbie, dlg1970@windstream.net
I love it all. I would definitely buy the market baskets!1
What a beautiful shop, I see these articles in CL mag and love them, it is nice to see more and hear about them on blogs. I love the linen sheets and bread boards! Lovely!
Great giveaway! I have always loved her blog! I had a hard time choosing just a few things I love, but I think I would pick the four knobs and the Brooklyn bottle. I love the baskets she has sold as well!
Wow Maria -- who would have thought you have only had your blog a year. I have written Dreamy Whites down on a piece of paper so many times and handed it to people . I say you have to check out this blog, truly !!! At Christmas time I was shopping for a gift for my sister at a favorite shop of hers. It is called Dwellings and the gentleman carries more modern unique accessories for your home. I started chatting with him and wrote down Dreamy Whites on a piece of paper and told him he should get on the blogging bandwagon to see what is out there. Fast forward --- I went to his shop last week to find a birthday gift for my sister. I walked out with a bag for myself. He had wicker covered zinc planters, numbered jars, burlap and feed sack pillows etc., so funny !!!! Anyway congrats and thanks for all of the inspiration you create for us. I love all of the linens from The White Flower Farmhouse I am trying to Spring up my house !!
I love reading Lori's blog. It's so full of lovely images and wonderful inspiration.
Well $200 would be great, and I would buy some ironstone, the zinc pots, maybe a fishing float, and most assuredly some linens--blue striped ones.
I posted about this sweet giveaway in the sidebar of the blog:

Lori - I am a new follower, I love your style!! I just visited your store site and I would have a hard time deciding, but I love the lines, the large basket, the zink pots, and watering can...I can't stop, if I lived nearer I would use it on one of your gorgeous tables, but I am in Illinois. Thanks for the opportunity, Nannette
Loved reading your story, Lori. I have browsed your online shop several times just swooning.
When I win the gift card (ha!) I will purchase a table runner out of your gorgeous linens. Love your shop and blog.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

It would be so difficult to choose for sure. I would definitely buy the sap buckets and candle holder from the farmhouse. Oh, I hope I win!!!
