Recently we finished the two dressers below. Surprise! *This one was featured on Apartment Therapy (!) in July* I know we said we were waiting until we moved and were taking the 3 we have collected with us to Seattle, … Continue reading
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
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
Feeling behind today. To update you with everything in our lives I’ll share the list I have going on in my head. 1) Still sick. No fever. Nothing that’s infringing on my ability to do things but I’m tired of … Continue reading
Ever have one of those colds that make your head feel as if it will explode? I’m so there. Just as I was apologizing for being absent on our facebook page. I was anticipating my absence from blogging this week. … Continue reading
Most people have heard of ebay, some craigslist, some Paypal (even though I’m baffled by the amount who haven’t) and fewer, it seems from my experience, have heard of etsy. When someone asks what it is I want to say … Continue reading
Here are my finds from the weekend. I spent a whopping $35 on the bench, $4 on the frame, the splurge to me was the “odd but something caught my attention” double weave banner at $12 and the “you might … 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.
