Our Paint Picks For The House
I finally got around to charting the paint colors in our house along with a few other sets (like lighting and the picks for both bathrooms) I will be sharing over the next week. We’re still not sure about the … Continue reading
Over the Last Month…
Greg’s 29th birthday and my 31st have gone by, his parents came to visit (it was great-thank you so much to them for the help), we got a loan to finish the rest of the house, we were asked to … Continue reading
Campaign and Faux Campaign Dresser Reveal
Instead of telling you how horribly wrong the spray painting went on our “new” front door with our new Wagner sprayer last weekend (popcorn ceiling texture, anyone?) or how I bamboozled myself into thinking doing a laminate dresser would be … Continue reading
Hand Painted Antique Dresser Before and After
The dresser is finished! That feels great to say since we didn’t think we’d be getting any furniture refinished and on the market with all these house projects. The pictures aren’t spectacular. I’m still lacking a decent photoshoot area but … Continue reading
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
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

We're Annie and Greg Witkamp (aka the Wits, aka Em & Wit Design). We salvage, refurbish and design furniture and homes. We're taking a break from an online & social media presence (for the most part). Our time on the blog was memorable and fun, but we're off to other projects and opportunities. Most derived from our shenanigans here. We'll drop in once in a while, but just know we're off chasing our dreams, tackling goals and living a life we enjoy.
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)!
You can watch our journey right here, there, and/or through Instagram.
