A Catch-All Post
I’m going to warn you that these photos are not only bad but the rooms are not styled to any extent I am proud of or remotely chipper about and instead are “functional”…and they won’t be truly styled during any … Continue reading

Second Bedroom Update
I’m going to start by saying happy belated 28th anniversary to my parents as of last Friday. They have finished their mud room which I will tell you about later…after their amazing kitchen and bathroom renovations I shared awhile back. … Continue reading
What We’d Like and Not Like To See In Our Next House
*Sorry but this post contains more of my amazing depictions with stick figures. Don’t be jealous of my skills. I’ve been checking out real estate near Seattle-I know, rather early since we have a year or so before the move-and … Continue reading
News
Sorry for my absence. I’ve been in that world of limbo, waiting for Wednesday February 13th to arrive. You see that was the day Greg met with the CEO of his company to discuss our transferring to Seattle. As in … 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
My Parent’s Bathroom and Kitchen Remodel
Today I would like to share the renovations my parents (Annie’s parents) have made to their “new” place. I say “new” because it was actually my sister and her family’s house until fall of 2012 when they switched houses. My … Continue reading

6 Months of Yardwork and Our Staycation
Ah, a sigh of relief after a relaxing vacation. Just kidding. It wasn’t very relaxing but still quite nice. And it was a staycation, a vacation where you don’t go anywhere which normally makes me cringe but thought I’d use … 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.
