Hi Edwin! Thank you for the kind words. Do you mean the toy shelf/changing table from this post: https://suburbanpop.com/2015/05/14/the-kids-shared-room/
If so, we did make it but I’m sorry to say I don’t have a DIY for it! We copied the basic dimensions/design of a Netto changing table and used birch plywood. Sorry I can’t be of more help :)
