With just 3 $50 bags of pennies from the bank and some elmer's glue, this woman turned a small space in her home into a gorgeous handcrafted floor.
Imgur user TonyaTooners posted an amazing photo essay of her weekend flooring project to create an amazing patterned floor out of just pennies and it's given us serious envy wood. The patience required alone would count us out, but the detail is so impressive.
"Drew an axis to follow along. I started by glueing one diamond shape in the center. I let it dry so I could push the next pennies against the center without the whole thing sliding. Didn't really have a design in mind. Just started with the diamonds, liked how it looked and kept going."

Actress and health guru Suzanne Somers is trying to sell her 70-acre desert oasis in Palm Springs, California. Somers, 70, and her husband, producer Alan Hamel, 80, listed the secluded compound this week for $14.5 million with Teles Properties.
The very private property—which can only be accessed by a funicular, golf cart or by walking up an onerous staircase—has five separate buildings connected by stone paths and raw desert landscape. In total, there are eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, according to the listing.
Oh and the listing also said you keep all the furniture, collected from around the world. Which is amazing b/c some of this stuff is so perfect for the place. Like that patio stuff. It looks like a movie set! Oh and the place is lousy with pools and watering holes. I adore it.
