Window Well, Weekend Update and New Things Listed on Etsy
Feeling behind today. To update you with everything in our lives I’ll share the list I have going on in my head. 1) Still sick. No fever. Nothing that’s infringing on my ability to do things but I’m tired of … Continue reading
What is Etsy?
Most people have heard of ebay, some craigslist, some Paypal (even though I’m baffled by the amount who haven’t) and fewer, it seems from my experience, have heard of etsy. When someone asks what it is I want to say … Continue reading
Wet Basement, Kind Craigslist-er and a Sneaky Peek
A lot can happen in 4 days. As some of you facebook followers may have read, our basement had standing water after one day-one hour really-of copious amounts of rain last week. This prompted us to finally remove the old … Continue reading
Antique Empire Dresser and Organizing the Garage and Garden Shed
If you were in the room today and if we were pals that came over to each other’s houses to share life and the goodies we found (like in the show Cougar Town which is awesome), you’d see a giant … Continue reading
Studio Update But Mostly Notes and Thoughts About Craigslist
The studio is coming along. We attempted to clean the floor, a few different ways, decided it was good enough, poured concrete leveler on it a few times then proceeded to prime and paint. One wall is not brick so … Continue reading
Confession
People might come to the conclusion that Greg and I decorate our place with painted, antique furniture when glancing at the pieces we’ve created. But they’d be wrong. We are more mid-century modern folk with simple lines and a neutral … 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.
