Do you want to hate me? I’ll give you more (or your first) reason to today. I found these two vintage floral chairs on craigslist last Friday. For free. Nearly perfect condition (minus missing one slipcover) and in blues/greens which … Continue reading
DIY Modern Slat Fence
The secret, surprise “thing” we’ve been working on is this modern slat fence on the side of our house by the door most used. The fence was finally finished last night. It stands 45 inches tall, a little over 7 … Continue reading
Garage Sale Finds
Whatever Greg was sick with last week I now have and I am this post away from placing myself on the couch and snoozing. Don’t believe I shared these photos from a few weekends ago after we completed the paver … Continue reading

Winter Kill
It ain’t pretty, folks. Our yard this year that is. Just as I said we wouldn’t be working on the outside much if at all we have to or I’m going to cry and flip my freak. I’m already having … 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.
