The New Kitchen
Sorry to leave you hanging on the kitchen progress for a few weeks. I honestly was more focused on moving past it-being one of the last big projects to tackle-to be a decent blogger. I planned to get out my … Continue reading

Bathroom Before and After
I had a long post written with lots of words describing the bathroom reno. I talked about how it is our second bathroom project in 3 months (the first being the basement bathroom overhaul) and somewhat about how we got it … Continue reading
Basement Bathroom Reveal
I’m coming to you with an actual completely finished room of the house-the basement bathroom (okay minus the door and touch ups to the trim). Greg and I started on it, with some help from family, in May. Weekends, weekday … Continue reading
Antique Dresser Reveal
Just popping in to show you our latest refurbished dresser. The one I (Annie) found on the curb. The one that had maybe been in a fire and/or was the victim of a stripping gone wrong. (Sounds like my Saturday … 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.
-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....)
