About Me
Who is this Val of Furniture Flipping Blueprint, Furniture Flipping Forum, Love My DIY Home, and Furniture Flipping Market?
Greetings.
Being married to Mark (DH), mom to 15 children, Grammie to 20 grandchildren, portrait photographer, writer, blogger, furniture flipper, graphic designer, church goer, gardener, and now FFB membership owner, keeps me the busiest person I have ever met.
Having been in full-time ministry for many years the DIY part of our life began during our humble beginnings and grew into an obsession which morphed into furniture flipping - buying out-dated, unwanted furniture, and making it beautiful again. Some pieces we keep, but most have been redesigned and sold to others who appreciate one-of-a-kind art. Yes, furniture flipping is art.
My first blog which is still online was MomofMany.net where I have shared our parenting experiences. I learn, I share. It's what I do. I don't post any more, but it's still there to help families cope with difficult situations (and interesting children).
Now a days most of my online effort is sharing my furniture flipping know-how and helping entrepreneurs put together a successful furniture redesign business. Come join me on this fantastic and rewarding journey!

About Us
Our Vision
Founded in July of 2013 and based in Wisconsin, Love My DIY Home became the humble beginnings of our DIY/Furniture Flipping Community.
From there we have added our online FB business page, The Red Shed FB store where we feature our projects, and Furniture Flipping Market where we sell quality products for our fellow flippers.
Our Facebook group, Furniture Flipping Forum, over 25,000 members strong, grew out of our LMDH blog, Love My DIY Home when we saw a need for daily advice and support for our furniture flipping friends on Facebook. Many wanted to do what we do but hadn't an idea of where to start. I also saw a need for kindness and support for those in the field of art - the world isn't always kind to artists.
Seeing the need for step-by-step instruction, we have gathered a plethora of information to place on one convenient (paid membership) site, Furniture Flipping Blueprint, where members will find valuable information at their fingertips without having to spend hours online watching video after video to find what they were looking for.
There are so many facets to our endeavors - check them out on our main website, ValFrania.com.
