Second chances start here

I give furniture makeovers, take on custom projects, sell my rescues, and coach you through your own DIY flips.

Why I Flip

Hi, I’m Jenny Dempsey! After a tech career layoff turned my world upside down, I started picking up “junk” furniture off the curb. Giving each piece a makeover gave me a second chance too.

Now I rescue furniture all over San Diego, bringing old pieces back to life with fresh finishes, a lot of heart, and even a little music — yes, I sing and play guitar while I work! It’s fun, it’s healing, and it makes every flip feel alive. I do this part-time alongside my new full-time job (for now).

Beyond furniture, I also host The Career Flipper Podcast, where I share stories of people reimagining their own second chances, proof that transformation isn’t just for furniture.

For me, it’s all about creativity, sustainability, and believing that everything, and everyone, deserves a second chance.
