Redécorez votre maison pour et avec quelques centimes
Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about Redecorate Your Home for—and with—Pennies and hope the blog can help you.
Vous pouvez obtenir tout le lustre d'une surface métallique sans vous ruiner. L'astuce ? Utilisez des pièces de monnaie. L'intégration des pièces de monnaie dans votre conception en tant que matériau peut vous faire économiser de l'argent par mètre carré, et comme les petites « tuiles » de cuivre varient en apparence, elles créent une texture dimensionnelle unique qui semble luxueuse. Il faudra peut-être un peu de patience pour disposer chaque pièce de monnaie individuellement, mais le résultat final amplifiera certainement votre crédibilité en matière de bricolage. Alors, rassemblez toutes ces pièces de monnaie qui pèsent sur votre porte-monnaie ou qui claquent dans le porte-gobelet de votre voiture, et feuilletez-les pour voir les projets créatifs que vous pouvez réaliser avec elles.
A Nice Reflection
For an unconventionally gilded frame, consider outlining your entrée mirror with pennies. This blogger adhered $9 worth of coins to a mirror’s plain, flat frame with strong glue as a farewell tribute to the Canadian penny when it was phased out of circulation.
A Horse, of Course
Faux animal heads are a big trend in home decor. Take yours to the next level by covering it with a range of slightly tarnished pennies that, from afar, mimic the coloring of animal skin. Just be sure to properly mount the bust to the wall, because the metal coins will add a lot of extra weight.
Take It for 'Granite'
Granit comptoirs can cost hundreds—even thousands—of dollars. This kitchen countertop, however, which consists of rows of pennies sealed in a two-part epoxy resin, averaged out to just $7.50 per square foot. Now that’s a lot of bang for your buck!
Alcove Ambitions

Un architectural feature found in many homes, an alcove can often present a design challenge for homeowners who are unsure what to do with the shallow space. Here’s a “cents”-able solution: Tile the area with pennies to create a bold, shimmering backdrop that even enhances the cove’s display lighting.
Dollar Menu
A coating of copper coins can turn a simple papier-mâché base into an industrial-looking piece of art. This apt message required two layers of pennies to cover the narrow lines in the block letters, and then an application of clear peinture en aérosol to seal and protect.
A Bright, Shiny Statement
From a distance you would never guess that this luxe-looking bureau is simply a plywood construction covered in pennies. Pro tip: Before attaching the coins to the desk with epoxy, dunk each penny in a tarnish-removing solution to bring out its brilliance.
Look for Lincoln
This expansive, penny-tiled floor is the perfect showpiece in the home of a mosaic artist. Upon close inspection, you might notice that each one of the hundreds of coins sits face-up with Lincoln looking in the same direction. The entire installation was grouted and then sealed with a polyurethane sol sealant for protection.
