Gold Rush Days and Progress
Not much worth noting in today’s post. To be honest, I want the week to fly by so that Friday arrives. That is Greg’s 28th birthday and we have plans. Hot dog! Besides grilling steaks and decadent peanut butter cup … Continue reading

Exit Strategy
So, that little secret I mentioned in the last post about the bittersweet quality of Greg’s promotion due to its impact on our goals and timeline. Yeah, let’s talk about that. It’s kind of a big deal. Like Barney Stinson … Continue reading
Breaking News
Breaking news: Greg was just promoted to head design engineer and will be working at the company’s other facility closer to Minneapolis. That comes with a raise. I can’t wrap my brain around this yet but I just had to … Continue reading
The Huffington Post
Here I am among several other boozy float recipes on the Huffington Post. Happy day for my food blog! I’ll be back with more relevant talk of furniture and reno later.
We’re on Facebook
We started a Facebook page for the Wits. You can “like us”, or as we say “thumbs up” us, for a show of support if you like what we do (redecorate furniture and renovate our first home), what we find … Continue reading

Today is about catching up. I continue to look through my projects folder and see tasks that have been complete for weeks. Some are not complete and as Greg would say these days, “so sue me,” but are at a … 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....)
