Hi, I’m Jenny! I love weird old things – especially houses!
My husband and I (and sometimes our two kiddos) are slowly restoring our mid century ranch home in San Luis Obispo, California. It has a gorgeous rock fireplace and a sunken living room, and we are doing our best to bring the rest back to its 60’s roots.
When I’m not working on our house, I teach high school art, buy and sell mid century furniture, and dabble in photography, painting and interior design.
This blog is where I share house projects and other mid century design related ramblings. Welcome!
xoxo Jenny

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 :)
