Our Story

Junk In Her Trunk started with a truckload of secondhand furniture. But the name has always meant a little more than that to Mindy — it's also a nod to her own story as a colon cancer survivor, and she wants to share it so that it might help someone else catch theirs early.

In her own words:

“Hey y'all! I'm Mindy, owner of Junk In Her Trunk. In 2014 I was in corporate America living my dream as a sales and client service manager, when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Four months after my colon removal I was let go from my company and started painting furniture in my garage as therapy.”

“One day, the pizza delivery man saw a set of furniture I was painting and begged to buy it from me. It was then that I realized that I had something special. I was in pursuit of my next career move and continued painting as a hobby, but within two months we had so many furniture orders that I had to bring on two full time employees to keep up with the work.”

“We had done 25 pieces of furniture for a particular client when they asked if we could paint their cabinets. I had never done cabinets before so I gave it a try. Fast forward to today, Junk In Her Trunk is one of the most respected and sought-after companies for doing cabinets and furniture in northeast Florida.”

“We have always been a referral based business and have never advertised, so we have only God and our clients to thank for our reputation as a leader in this field. We believe that you can't have a reputation of excellence when providing mediocre services. We thank each and every one of our clients for trusting us with their home.”
