Garage Sale Finds
Whatever Greg was sick with last week I now have and I am this post away from placing myself on the couch and snoozing. Don’t believe I shared these photos from a few weekends ago after we completed the paver … Continue reading
Surprise Estate Sale
It has begun…garage and estate sale season! Well, there was one this weekend and I hadn’t a clue until we drove around our neighborhood and saw the sign. Like Ace of Base sing. It opened up my eyes and brightened my … Continue reading

Flea Markets and City-Wide Garage Sales
While the pup recovers from his “snip snip surgery” and pouts upstairs, I’m in my office studio buzzing about Gold Rush Days in Oronoco, Minnesota this weekend. (And my honey’s birthday.) It’s not very often we get to go to … Continue reading
DIY Chalkboard
We put a chalkboard on it! The wall in the studio that is and yes, I’m mocking Portlandia residents Lisa and Bryce as we often do around our place (“put a bird on it” or “put a coat of paint … 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.
