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
Milk Paint, Waxes and Hemp Oil with Two Furniture Reveals
I’m in the midst of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day week, guys. The kind that makes you wonder why you even keep trying. One thing after another. I’m trying to get past all that so I’m not … Continue reading
Lots of Furniture Finds with the Antique Sideboard Salvage and Reveal
Where to begin…well, the visit with my (Annie’s) parents and sister was just what we needed. I miss them. My poor dad and Greg slaved away in the basement pretty much the entire time. That post to come later about … Continue reading
DIY Modern Slat Fence
The secret, surprise “thing” we’ve been working on is this modern slat fence on the side of our house by the door most used. The fence was finally finished last night. It stands 45 inches tall, a little over 7 … Continue reading
Garage Sale Finds
Whatever Greg was sick with last week I now have and I am this post away from placing myself on the couch and snoozing. Don’t believe I shared these photos from a few weekends ago after we completed the paver … Continue reading
We Fibbed
That sums up the weather for our 4 day weekend. Four because Greg took Friday off and then of course there was Memorial Day yesterday. But yeah, it rained…a lot…and was somewhat chilly the entire time. It put a damper … 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

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.
