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
Lots of Furniture Finds with the Antique Sideboard Salvage and Reveal
Where to begin…well, the visit with my (Annie’s) parents and sister was just what we needed. I miss them. My poor dad and Greg slaved away in the basement pretty much the entire time. That post to come later about … Continue reading
Craigslist Tips and Campaign Dresser Find
Over the weekend, while working on the fence and steps, Greg and I cleaned and organized the garage about as much as we can around the items we’re putting in our future garage sale. That meant creating a dozen or … Continue reading
Hand Painted Antique Dresser Before and After
The dresser is finished! That feels great to say since we didn’t think we’d be getting any furniture refinished and on the market with all these house projects. The pictures aren’t spectacular. I’m still lacking a decent photoshoot area but … Continue reading

Before and After: Modern White Lacquer and Dark Walnut Dresser
Where to begin on this… It’s the same dresser. The free dresser we got from our friend whose daughter used it in college. I think it could also be used as a credenza. We wanted to take it in a more modern … 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....)
