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!!!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 738 Newer› Newest»Gorgeous!!! Bread boards and pillows.
I love several items in the Farmhouse section--the breadboards, the zinc pots, everything really!
Love the grain bags and the galvanized bucket!
LOVE her shop and yours, too !! i would use the winnings to purchase the utility drawers, homespun sheet, pillowcase ... brooklyn bottle...geez, what a tough decision.....so many gorgeous things...love the farmhouse tables, too... i would LOVE to win!!!
I'm so glad to have found you both. Dreamy Whites is me to a T! I see your blog and just want to paint everything white. And the goodies at White Flower Farmhouse are just perfect..so many of the items would be a fit in our home .. and I like that there are unique items .. i'm wanting more unique and less recognizable things {mass produced}. So... if I were the lucky girl I'd have to have a market basket, some sap buckets for my plants {oh, wouldn't those look lovely on our little stoop!}, a breadboard {hubby loves rustic breads}, an herb wreath {adore!}, and finally the barnwood mirror {guess we'll be taking that roadtrip to NY sooner than expected to wrestle that beauty into the car}.
Thank you for all the beautiful offerings. Gotcha bookmarked!
I'm a new subscriber- found you through "Be Different Act Normal" - I'm going to be very inspired by your blog, apparently - it's gorgeous- I looked at the shop at White Flower Farmhouse and fell in love with the market basket, the handmade breadboards and some lovely pillowcases in a stripey olive looking fabric-
Lori's blog and her shop for sure are in my top ten favorites out here in the world wide web. Her style is so simple yet so beautiful and I just love that.
I have bought from her before and plan on in the future as well!! The zinc planters are too cute!! Any basket that would be available would have to be mine!!
I like everything I saw. I would start with the utility drawers, galvanized bucket and I have always wanted a flower frog. Thanks! ~Jennifer
joshandjenr@yahoo.com

I love Lori's philosophy and her style. Would love to visit her shop someday. In the meantime, your giveaway is fantastic, Maria. I adore those little zinc pots as they remind me of ones I used to see at the Flower Marche in Paris and I would LOVE some of those amazing homespun sheets!

Hi Lori and Maria! I would love the market basket and bread boards, but really? So much to choose from, I love it all! Lori has been such an inspiration.
Kim:)
What a great interview. So fun learning about Lori and her home and shop. Wow! Everything is fabulous. Love the grain sacks and the trough. ♥
Maria-
I have loved White Flower Farmhouse for a while now. Everything Lori has is beautiful. We recently moved from Wisconsin to the Hudson Valley region of New York and I am making a point to visit Lori's shop. I love the driftwook sailboats, and the wooden whale, well, just about anything. I hope I win!
I love the soy candles, linen grain bag and the farm tables!
Oh how wonderful Maria! I love White Flower Farmhouse ..your giveaway is so very generous of the two of you. I'm sure if I did win, I'd change my mind a gazillion times b/c everything is so great. Right now, I'm loving the zinc pots, glass fishing balls and the breadboards.
Everything is so unique, it is hard to choose. If I had to pick something that is not already sold, I think the galvanized trough is intriguing.
I would be so happy to take anything in the store; everything is so beautiful! In particular, I love the sap bucket, the zinc pots, and the utility drawers (what a great place for recipes out in the open in the kitchen!) and of course all the grain sack linens.
I love everything in her shop but I definitely would like to use the gift card n some candles, pillows, and glass floats.
Love your blog and I have loved White Flower Farmhouse for quite sometime! There is so much I would love to get - herb wreath, zinc pots, grain sacks, and the list goes on...however, if I won I would probably go out to LI to visit the store in person since I live in NYC! Thank you!

Beautiful interview, Maria. I love learning about the people behind the inspiration. I love White Flower Farmhouse. We're remodeling our old farmhouse and finally doing the kitchen so winning would be a pleasant (birthday) surprise. I'd be choosing accessories to decorate the kitchen for sure - wire baskets, love those utility drawers (we're building an island from reclaimed wood) and the linens - heaven! ;)
Thanks so much!
Have a wonderful week!

I just can't choose!!! Thank you SO much this wonderful opportunity!
I would buy a bunch of the Japanese fishing floats! I have been looking for those all over the place. I want to hang them from the ugly bedroom ceiling in our apartment. It always bugs me lying on the bed, and seeing all the stains and patches; and have always loved the look of those glass floats.
Luv luv luv both yours and Loris style..hummm I adore the linen sheets, but everything she stocks is outta this world so who knows I may change my mind! Thank you for the give~away and the lovely interview.

I've been a follower of Lori's for awhile now Maria. Love her creative and simple style! Oh, I would have to go for some linens for sure!
Tough to narrow it down but I think I would raid her linen closet for a grain bag....but I do love the Seahorse shutter and that would look terrif in my beachy dining room...along with some of those fishing floats. Dang....give me one of everything!!! ;)
Oh, where would I start! I love white & gray so calming. I'm an English lady living in Dallas Texas. We have just moved into a builder grade new house & it's such a challenge making it into a family home. All of your blogs are so helpful! Thank you. Suzi.
It might be easier to list what I WOULDN'T want to get! Love the wire baskets that all seem to be sold out, the potato & bank bags are a great find, any of the zinc items...or the baskets...or the crates.... Happy Anniversary and thank you for your generosity and creative spirit.
I posted on FB about the great giveaway, along with links to both blogs. Stand by for more readers!
oMG - what a fantastic giveaway! I love the glass balls, the wire baskets, the keys..you name it! I love it all!
I love everything at the white flower farmhouse!! I would get the breadboard, galvanized trough, or some linens! Too bad the tool punches have been sold!
I love the beach girl and Beach House sign, among loving everything else!!!macintosh603@hotmail.cp,
I want the wicker laundry basket!
I have been admiring her farmhouse tables for a long time so if I won I might put the money towards purchasing a table. I do love the Beach House sign and the linen table runners too! Everything about her shop could be put on my 'wish list'.
I will be advertising this giveaway on my blog.
So hard to choose. I love all the baskets and buckets.
What wouldn't I like but love the grain sacks and ironstone! The wire baskets and glass door knobs are a winner as well. Diane

I hadn't noticed that Lori has a shop! It's wonderful. I love the glass floats, the linen sheets, and grain bags.
I enjoyed the interview.
I wrote about it in the 3 Sun Kissed Boys' Facebook page.
I just love her kitchen, so much the same as the one I had to leave when I divorced. So wish I could have kept the old house. This time though we live in a smaller cottage, two story home, a real fixer upper.
I am drawn to the beachy, farm style, cottage look with lots of shabby, so naturally anything in Lori's stor would appeal to me. I adore the zinc buckets, and the signage, as well as the glass floats. That would cover, farm style, cottagey, and beachy. Congrats on one year, and I'll definitely add her to my extemely long list of blog links, Enjoy your day, Darlene Forget
Oh, wow! Please enter me in your awesome and generous giveaway! I adore the zinc pots, and the grain sacks! Merci beaucoup!
Posted on my facebook!

I absolutely ADORE your shop and blog!!! Being from Europe I appreciate all the items in you store even more. If I would win the gift card I would definitely buy some items I can use in my own house as well as props for my photography. I love to use inspirational unique items that stand out and give the engagement or newborn session a personal touch. I would of cause give credit to White Flower Farmhouse on my blog and fb page :) I would be SO excited and honored to win this amazing giveaway!!!! Thanks
I love you blog, of course I love all things white. I have a hectic schedule and when I come home , and open the door, I feel immediatley calm and happy. I loved your interwiew,I love lori's shop. I'm about 45 min away from the store, I try to make a trip there at least once a month. Even if I don't make a purchase I come away with some thing that will inspire me. If I win I'm going back for 2 linen sheets to throw over my couch, or a dresser, hutch, ironstone, table basket,pillows, something silver, another boat that Mehgan makes............. hmm too bad you're not closer I would love a tour of your house.Anyway be well, and I hope I win.
I would love the utility drawers and some of your yummy candles! I will keep my fingers crossed I win! :)
Love the trough!!!
Thank you for introducing us to a new beautiful shop! I love everything but especially the grain sack bag. Thanks so much!
I have always liked their white seahorse shutters! I think I'd also get a blue striped grain bag and some yummy soy candles.
Thank you for a wonderful interview. It's always fun to learn more of the background of someone, their shop, blog, etc.
I would definitely want to get a couple of those adorable soft turquoise seahorse shutters... what else?? I'm not sure!!
