    Thanks! Yes, the dog made sure he got plenty of camera time.

    Very cool!! I love the dog lol. And the music. And her (you?) rolling around on the floor after it was done. Great job. :)

    Haha! Yes, that is me! The floor took 9 days to finish, and I was sooo happy when it was done!

  • 11 years ago

    I bet you were, I would have done the same thing! ;)

  • 11 years ago

    Wow! That was so cool! I love the floor. That's a really nice kitchen, and, of course, a great dog. I also liked the music, which was perfect for every stage.

    Great video. The music made it go by so quickly. Any chance that you could post a closeup of that floor? I love the way the light hits it.

    That was without a doubt the most "awesome-ist" thing I have seen on GW!

    I remember your thread a while back about what backsplash to do with the penny floor. I wondered how it all turned out. Thanks for posting this. Congratulations! It looks beautiful. And perfect song choices too.

    Thanks everyone! Here's a close-up of the floor. It ended up being about 34,400 pennies total.

    Close up of the floor please?


  • 11 years ago

    Wow gorgeous. What did you use to seal it?

    That was awesome! And the music really did go with everything. But I worry...I saw a couple people disappear up into the ceiling and never saw them come down...you haven't heard any strange sounds coming from the ceiling, have you. No? Good. :)

    it looks amazing, thanks for the floor close up. You probably never want to see another penny again!

    Cpartist, it is sealed with a clear polyurethane. I used four coats, and I'll probably put a few more coats on before I'm really done.

    Thank you! Great fun and one of the most creative things I've seen on GW. Loved the music and pooch also. How did you come up with the idea of a penny floor? Can't imagine taking that project on. By the way, very pretty kitchen and like the layout.

    I failed to say I love your floor. I did in your other thread, but realized you wouldn't know/remember that. So for the record, I absolutely do love it! So unique.

    Loved it! What a great idea to document. Were those real pennies?

    oldbat, there's a post up just a few with a close up pic of the floor and a rough total on the (real) pennies. :)

    Thanks again everyone! I saw a penny floor in a bar and fell in love with the idea. I love it, but recommend that anyone who wants to try it should do it in a very small area. It was so much more work than I thought!

  • 11 years ago

    "It was so much more work than I thought!"

    Yeah, but it's just so dog gone cool too. It HAS to be worth it! ;)

    Nice kitchen! What a fun video! Great job on the kitchen and the video!

    It looks like it took as much time to do the floor as it did to do the whole rest of the kitchen. How tedious to do it but how worth it! Fantastic. Love the video, song choices, and dog. LOL about the people stuck up in the attic. :) Thanks for sharing.

    That was absolutely amazing. Your floor is incredible. How in the heck did you ever come up with 34,000 pennies. I love tell the dog kept trying to get into the act! I think we need to keep this video as a sticky! And I have a go pro but I have never figured out how to make it do anything like that!

    Congratulations on an excellent video and an amazing kitchen.

    Now, if only we can figure out how to get all of our kitchen remodel is done in 10 minutes.

    Totally amazing. When you were laying the pennies, I thought it was some sort of mosaic, not real pennies. Were they loose? Did you just line them up one by one? What did you set them in?

    I'm curious about your time lapse. How often was a pic taken? Did you edit out the middle of the night or just remembered to turn it on and off when you weren't there?

    Great job all around!!!

    Yes, they were glued down one by one with Titebond 3 glue. As for the video, we only shot on work days. The GoPro took a photo every 30 seconds except during the floor installation, when it took a photo every minute. After two months, we had about 40,000 pics to organize. After editing out photos where nothing was happening, blurry or buttcrack showing, we had about 5000 for the video.

    Very cool video!

    I think I got carpal tunnel syndrome just watching that floor get laid!
