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
Bathroom Before and After
I had a long post written with lots of words describing the bathroom reno. I talked about how it is our second bathroom project in 3 months (the first being the basement bathroom overhaul) and somewhat about how we got it … Continue reading
Kitchen Plans
*This post decided to post itself through Polyvore so I tossed in an explanation shorter than I had planned for this kitchen topic. First, I want to know your thoughts about backsplash tile. Hence the 6 options. Which do you … Continue reading
Basement Bathroom Reveal
I’m coming to you with an actual completely finished room of the house-the basement bathroom (okay minus the door and touch ups to the trim). Greg and I started on it, with some help from family, in May. Weekends, weekday … Continue reading
Fabric Ornaments
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
The Bathroom, a New Hairstyle, a Bench and Some Other Stuff
Intriguing title, huh? Yeah I could stand to work on those. Anyway, let me catch you up with some photos floating around my photo stream from the last month, i.e., I don’t recall where life left off last I posted … Continue reading
My Luck and Updates
Call me a slacker blogger and add slacker photographer in there too because I’ve only captured a handful of moments in the last few weeks. We’ve been working on getting all the doors and windows painted instead of doing it … 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....)
