Hi Jennifer!

Wow! Another penny floor — who knew? Thanks so much for the link and the history lesson for us all.

It must have been time consuming, I agree. I read somewhere that for the penny floor at The Standard Grill, they may have used some kind of adhesive backing squares made for custom mosaics. In this way, they could comfortably work setting the pennies ahead of time, and later adhere the squares to the floor.

I think this is such a fun idea because the material is completely accessible to us. And I adore the coppery glow. We use our tray all the time and I am thrilled with its look. Now, for your IKEA tables–I say ‘Go For It!’ Just think what cool tables you’ll have. We can’t wait to see them.

Has anyone seen a penny floor elsewhere? Please share with us stories, photos and links.

Pop by anytime Jennifer,
– Kathy

Love the inspiration. There is a similar floor at the Cup Cafe in Hotel Congress in Tucson, AZ ( http://www.hotelcongress.com/cup/image-gallery/ ). Quick history lesson: the Hotel Congress is notorious for playing a huge part of John Dillinger’s capture in Tucson.
I have always marveled at how beautiful the floor is but how long it must have taken to install.
I think my Ikea side tables might be begging to be redone with a good coating of coins.

Wonderful, Rachel. It was a blast getting all muddy with grout, and I love the glow of the copper pennies.

Keep up the great work on your site; so much fun!
