Project of the Century

When we were building our house, a friend sent Steve an email with a picture of a "penny floor."  A whole floor seemed like a lot of work, but I did a little research and decided that our new island bar top would become a penny counter top.

Finally, finally, we have gotten to this highly anticipated project. So here goes:

Plywood base:

Concrete board, spray painted black for the background:

Steel edging, and approximately $31 in pennies:

Slave labor:

Self-leveling, bar quality epoxy:

Torch to pop the air bubbles:

And there she is!

Definitely one of my favorite parts of the new house!
