Nursery Dresser Before and After
The best way to cope with tragedy, in this case the untimely death of my grandpa, seems to be throwing ourselves into projects yet again after an almost 2 week hiatus. That and writing about not wanting to write about … Continue reading

Wallpaper Woes
Thought I’d update you guys today. Nothing too thrilling going on. Just a little bit of dresser mending, secretary repair/sanding and my little bookcase side project. I have to rant a little on this one. Picked it up from a … 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.
