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
My Luck and Updates
Call me a slacker blogger and add slacker photographer in there too because I’ve only captured a handful of moments in the last few weeks. We’ve been working on getting all the doors and windows painted instead of doing it … 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

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....)
