Featured on Apartment Therapy!
Yesterday we had the pleasure of being featured (our dresser with the wallpaper fronts that is) on Apartment Therapy. So cool! Check it out.
Befores and Afters: Renovations of Each Room (with Sources and Totals)
I thought I’d show you around our place. Well, some of the photos are from some time ago, but not much has changed. The rooms have a new shade of paint, new doors, new trim, and new lighting. Both bathrooms, … Continue reading
We did an interview…
Yo, Greg and I recently did an interview with Goedekers-a trusted appliance, furniture and home lighting company. To find out how we answered why we started blogging, what fuels our passion for woodworking, what our favorite DIY projects are, what sparked … Continue reading

Antique Dresser Reveal
Just popping in to show you our latest refurbished dresser. The one I (Annie) found on the curb. The one that had maybe been in a fire and/or was the victim of a stripping gone wrong. (Sounds like my Saturday … Continue reading
Over the Last Month…
Greg’s 29th birthday and my 31st have gone by, his parents came to visit (it was great-thank you so much to them for the help), we got a loan to finish the rest of the house, we were asked to … Continue reading
Campaign and Faux Campaign Dresser Reveal

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....)
