Introducing the 2nd Fixer-Upper Home
I snapped some shots, as promised, a few weeks ago before we offically moved in and I’m back to share. The details: 1949 fixer-upper I spotted on the market in King County here in Washington (yeah I still can’t believe … Continue reading

I don’t say OMG very often but this has been an amazing OMG week with two features on some awesome, inspiring sites. Today’s spotlight is over at House*Tweaking where Dana interviewed me about our Ikea kitchen reno. It was an … Continue reading
The New Kitchen
Sorry to leave you hanging on the kitchen progress for a few weeks. I honestly was more focused on moving past it-being one of the last big projects to tackle-to be a decent blogger. I planned to get out my … 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

My Parent’s Bathroom and Kitchen Remodel

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....)
