Richmond: House 3
I made a page with information about the third fixer house we bought in February…and forgot to share that bittle in a post or on social media. Oops. My brain is scrambled. I finished taxes, hired movers to get the … Continue reading
Subscribers: Ignore the Kitchen and Bathroom Link
Subscribers: For some reason my playing around with Polyvore published some very rough draft ideas about the new house’s kitchen and bathroom design. So, that’s neat in a way that is not neat at all. When I have a better … Continue reading
How To Hem Your Jeans (Keeping the Original Hem)
I am not a tall woman. At 5 feet and 3 inches (ok just under) since 6th grade, I have had to either find jeans in the petite section (although I have a bootilicious-nothing-is-petite-about-it bottom) or have my pants hemmed. … Continue reading
Dark Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
I made this deliciousness over the weekend-a (mostly) one-pan dark chocolate chip skillet cookie and shared the recipe over at the Dabble today. You know you deserve this and it’s so easy. (And happy 54th anniversary to my grandparents!)

Thoughts for Boston
For the past month I’ve been watching my calorie intake and getting my bum back on the treadmill four times a week to log some miles. (I’m down 8 pounds thank you very much.) Over the weekend I indulged a … Continue reading
Surprise Estate Sale
It has begun…garage and estate sale season! Well, there was one this weekend and I hadn’t a clue until we drove around our neighborhood and saw the sign. Like Ace of Base sing. It opened up my eyes and brightened my … 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....)
