Flash Flood and About A Dozen Project Updates
We woke up to water in the basement due to a flash flood Saturday morning. It dropped 5 or so inches in a few hours or something like that while we slept. Not just those few areas that get water … Continue reading
Our New Vintage Chairs, Quirkified Sewing Cabinet and Project Update
Do you want to hate me? I’ll give you more (or your first) reason to today. I found these two vintage floral chairs on craigslist last Friday. For free. Nearly perfect condition (minus missing one slipcover) and in blues/greens which … 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

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.
