Fabric Ornaments
We’re up to our eyeballs in home improvement projects right now, but I promise that once a significant amount of the basement bathroom is finished (tiling takes a loooong time) I will share the whole shebang. I wanted to drop … Continue reading

I’m gonna vent. Is that ok with you? Here it comes. My Monday, this day, started with a request for a quote on one of our etsy shop items (joy!) but after getting the quote on these boots, the person … Continue reading
We Be Tillin’ and Listing Our Finds On Etsy
Finally! That was what I said when Greg told me his coworker, and our pal, was going to let us use his new tiller this coming weekend. No more digging everything by hand! The yard continues to bother me with … 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.
