We're Annie and Greg Witkamp, aka the Wits from thewitsblog.com, and we're thrifters that seek, salvage, restore, design and sell furniture. Our passion is to collect and revamp vintage and antique furniture, lighting and decor. You can find our pieces in our etsy shop or sometimes in the Minneapolis area craigslist.
In December of 2011 we became first time homeowners. Demo, renovation, budget decorating, DIY, our furniture salvaging and more are documented at thewitsblog.com and some here as well. However, as of February 2013, we have a year to finish our house before transferring to Seattle (a dream of ours) in spring of 2014. That means our posts will be focused on our updating the house on our slim budget. Our furniture refinishing will take a backseat during this time but you better believe we'll be back to that as soon as we can.

Finished dresser 2. Dark French grey with antique brass and mother-of-pearl knobs. The cream paint has been left underneath the grey if distressing is desired and the drawers are painted an off-white shade. Love it. Will be hard to sell this piece but it will soon be on etsy and/or craigslist. Sigh.
