We Might Have House #2
Quick update: we found a house in King County WA (maybe I’ll be more specific later), put an offer on it over the weekend, had it accepted and now have the inspection today. Yeah, crazy! It was a place we … Continue reading
The House Sold and We’re In Washington
Much has happened. First, we are in Washington! Yeah, it happened for real. We are no longer in Minnesota. We’d like to thank all of those who supported us during our 6 year stay in Northfield. We are forever … Continue reading
What We’d Like and Not Like To See In Our Next House
*Sorry but this post contains more of my amazing depictions with stick figures. Don’t be jealous of my skills. I’ve been checking out real estate near Seattle-I know, rather early since we have a year or so before the move-and … Continue reading
News
Sorry for my absence. I’ve been in that world of limbo, waiting for Wednesday February 13th to arrive. You see that was the day Greg met with the CEO of his company to discuss our transferring to Seattle. As in … Continue reading
My Parent’s Bathroom and Kitchen Remodel
Today I would like to share the renovations my parents (Annie’s parents) have made to their “new” place. I say “new” because it was actually my sister and her family’s house until fall of 2012 when they switched houses. My … Continue reading
The Family Auction
Over the weekend my grandpa’s belongings were sold at auction. He passed away somewhat suddenly in February, about a month after receiving a lung cancer diagnosis, going from his energetic and peppy self to a bedridden man in a matter … 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.
