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. My house has over 30 pieces I have redesigned.
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!
My focus is on new or wanna be furniture artists who would like to learn the basics the right way, quickly and accurately. I've created a guide for those struggling with the final step of redesign, applying the sealer.

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 first Facebook group, Furniture Flipping Forum, over 15,000+ 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.
We have since added another group, For His Glory Furniture Flipping, to encourage fellow believers in our niche.
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.
Why Teach Furniture Art and Marketing?
Over the years, I've honed my skills in teaching complex, multi-step processes in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. My teaching style is designed to instill confidence and encourage mastery.
My journey into furniture flipping was born out of personal experience. I spent years learning the craft, perfecting my process, and overcoming the challenges that many beginners face. I saw others struggling with the same issues, receiving a myriad of conflicting advice. That's when I decided to create Furniture Flipping Blueprint—a comprehensive guide to mastering furniture flipping.
I've empowered countless furniture artists, just like you, to transform outdated and unwanted project pieces into timeless works of art. By sharing proven, time-tested methods used by experienced furniture flippers, I can help you become a pro in record time.
As a mentor, I believe in continuous learning. I've worked with coaches and mentors myself to ensure that the Furniture Flipping Blueprint is the best resource available.
You dream of creating stunning, durable, and highly sought-after furniture pieces. You envision the extra income, the recognition in the art world, and the satisfaction of creating something beautiful. I'm here to provide you with the right tools and information to become a confident, skilled furniture artist. I want to help you achieve that dream.
My faith is the cornerstone of my mentorship approach, shaping every aspect of my guidance. As someone who serves the Lord, I believe in leading with humility, integrity, and a genuine heart to serve others. It’s not just something I say—it’s how I strive to live, and mentoring is one of the ways I honor Him.
