Incroyable!
Letting go really helps. Allowing whatever comes to come, let it linger even, saying I will take some time away from certain activities to just enjoy what I can and deal with things one at a time is refreshing. We … Continue reading
Does this make us crazy?
What’s up with us over the last 2 weeks? Some of those updates have been announced on our facebook page (which was the only way I could connect since the site has been having technical issues…one right after another). 1) … Continue reading
Yard, Dresser and Weekend Update
Whoa, it’s October. Like the month with Halloween, Breast Cancer Awareness and Columbus Day. True story. When I was in first grade we celebrated Columbus Day with fun activities involving pretending we were on the Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria … Continue reading
New Pages
Been doing some late summer blog cleaning. The pages underneath our header have been hit the hardest. I added a portfolio for our non-furniture items we’ve created, think more home decor/housewares on the ‘decor projects’ page. Some are (or were) … Continue reading
Double Dipped Leg Windsor Chairs
Just a quick drop in to say the Windsor chairs are finished and in our etsy shop. I call them double dipped, some might consider them colorblocked, in ivory, gray and gold. Our first chairs. I think they are lovely. … Continue reading
Gold Rush Days Flea Market and Antique Show Recap
The weekend was a beauty. Weather was gorgeous, Greg’s birthday was lovely, we were productive on the furniture design front and Gold Rush Days was an experience we’ll remember for years to come. (The pictures throughout the post are of … Continue reading
Flea Markets and City-Wide Garage Sales
While the pup recovers from his “snip snip surgery” and pouts upstairs, I’m in my office studio buzzing about Gold Rush Days in Oronoco, Minnesota this weekend. (And my honey’s birthday.) It’s not very often we get to go to … 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....)
