November 2018: we moved across the country…again
So, the whole Pacific Northwest thing we worked hard to make happen…we obliterated that after almost 4 years there and moved with Greg’s new-ish job to Richmond, Virginia. Yeah, it was a tough decision. We’re 2,860 miles away from that … Continue reading
The Two Finished Rooms of the House
I’d like to take the time to share the two rooms we have finished nearly finished in fixer upper house #2. 98% of the kitchen is done and, back in September, we completed our master bedroom. I wasn’t kidding in that … Continue reading
Introducing the 2nd Fixer-Upper Home
I snapped some shots, as promised, a few weeks ago before we offically moved in and I’m back to share. The details: 1949 fixer-upper I spotted on the market in King County here in Washington (yeah I still can’t believe … Continue reading
The Pro Pics of the Minnesota House
As promised, this is the post with the professional shots of our old house. It feels strange to write “our old house” because that place will always have a part of Greg and I. It still feels a bit like … Continue reading

We're Annie and Greg Witkamp (aka the Wits, aka Em & Wit Design). We salvage, refurbish and design furniture and homes.
Our specialty is wood furniture in rough shape that we come across on craigslist, at estate sales, on the curb, in a barn, you get it. Those pieces are cleaned, repaired, refurbished and good to go for years to come. Sometimes we design our own pieces.
As of spring 2016, we decided to make this website, the Wits, about our remodeling homes and emandwit.com about the furniture. You can shop there, ask us questions, see our newly finished pieces and portfolio.
We sold our second remodeled home near Seattle in August 2018 and moved to Richmond, Virginia. Getting to Washington was a goal that took years to achieve, but we had an opportunity come up and we grabbed hold (again)! (I do not have many second home updates on the website at this point...might work on that later.) We are looking for our third fixer upper home in RVA. Perhaps I'll share more about that than the second. Ha!
You can watch our journey right here, there, and/or through Instagram.
-To see the projects we did to our first home, check out the home improvement page. To see our current home projects, scroll through the most recent posts. (I need to update that....)
