Fat Guy In a Little Coat Feeling
Now to show you things that have happened but my yap has been shut for the past 2, 3 or more weeks about… Hehe uh crooked and no, that’s not how our house is. This doorway and wall became this… … Continue reading
Satin Nickel Unicorn and Other Things For Our Renos
As I said on our facebook page not much is being accomplished recently (except for cooking some awesome/easy/no-knead bread). Well, that’s not true. Things are happenin’ but it’s the kind of work that will be better shown when completely finished. … Continue reading
Our Recent Days in Photos
Here’s what we’ve been up to… our necks in snow. Fine, so not quite that much. It fell Friday and kept on coming Saturday. We were at Ikea when it began and quickly turned into this below on our … Continue reading
Free Is Affordable, We Built a Table and Made Some Lighting
I spent some time yesterday researching, yet again, the best gray paint that will soothe my sore eyes. Earlier this week I told you about the gray gray walls being actually a blue shade somehow. Hmmpph. Not the stuff that … Continue reading
Gray gray
Oy vey. First off, the weekend was a success in terms of wrapping up projects like painting the living and dining rooms. We started working on some pendant lights I’ve been trying to design for 3 rooms and we got … Continue reading
Incroyable!
Letting go really helps. Allowing whatever comes to come, let it linger even, saying I will take some time away from certain activities to just enjoy what I can and deal with things one at a time is refreshing. We … Continue reading
I’ve Got the Blues Over the Benjamin Moore Grays
Call me Ms.Change My Mind but the Benjamin Moore shades of gray aren’t doing it for me. At least not for the picture I had in my head of the ideal gray for our living/dining rooms. (Check out my last … Continue reading
Awkward Moments and Choosing A Shade of Benjamin Moore Gray
I’m at a standstill with the 2 dressers we’re making over. Greg has some big projects/deadlines at work which has kept him away. I’ve heard phrases like “my brain is broken” and “I’m too busy to think” (?) and for … Continue reading

We're Annie and Greg Witkamp, aka the Wits, and we're thrifters that salvage, design and sell furniture we find on craigslist, at estate and garage sales, on the side of the road, and pieces owned by others. It's our passion to collect, restore, create and revamp vintage and antique furniture, lighting and decor. Check out our portfolio page to see some of our work. You can find our pieces in our etsy shop or sometimes in the Minneapolis area craigslist.
In December of 2011 we became first time homeowners. Demo, renovation, budget decorating, DIY and more are documented here as well as our furniture ventures. However, as of February 2013, we gave ourselves a year to finish our house before transferring to Seattle (a dream of ours) in the spring of 2014. That means our posts will be focused on updating the house on our slim budget. Our furniture refinishing will take a backseat during this time but you better believe we'll be back to it as soon as we can.
