That is so cool - love that look! I'm just not such a fan of the bronze-orangey color, and doing it in quarters might be a bit expensive ;-) xo Anja

I love the penny walls, and the ombre penny art! Time to start saving these soon to be out of circulation coins :-)

Saving my pennies so I can be as cool as these beauties! When I was a kid, I started saving pennies because we thought they would stop making them. That was ??? years ago!! Wonder when the lowly penny will become extinct?

I love all these ideas! I had a presentation on flooring last year in school and showed an image of a penny floor and everyone loved it! I've been spending my penny stash but you've inspired me to make something with them! =)

I LOVE penny projects! There is something about the copper color and the round circles repeating that is totally amazing...

Love this post and thanks for including my bathroom floor! The pennies on the first floor look amazing and I love them on the walls! It feels very glamorous yet still warm and comfortable.

Since I hear that the production and usage of pennies is going to cease in Canada, this would be a good way to use them all up! Have to start collecting now.

Those are all so great! I love the look- but i fear that i do not have the stamina to do a project like that haa but it looks like the effort is worth paid off!
