I picked up this side table at the Restore for $10. I know I just finished stripping another restore purchase to bring it back to its wooden glory, so I appreciate that this might seem a little hypocritical, but… painting an old dated piece of furniture can also be an amazing way to give it new life and bring it into your individual decor.

This project was actually super simple, but it will take you a few days to build up the depth of epoxy needed to cover the animals! Fundamentally you’re just added molding to the sides of a basic table to contain the epoxy, you’re gluing plastic Safari Ltd. toys and then you’re pouring epoxy.
