"Oh yes taking down popcorn ceiling is a mess but the finished look is so much better and this is the best way to do it. Use a drop cloth on the floor to make that clean up a little easier by just rolling it up and discarding it. We had ours done when our roof leaked from storm damage they did the living room and dining room but I want to do all the other rooms. Anyone do it a different way?"

"I really like this idea. It is a good way to put those small things like Q-tips and small nail files, scissors, etc. It keeps the things off the counter. It does not look hard to do and you can paint the wood any color you want or keep it natural. You can nail it into the wall , if the property is yours, or add hangers on the back of the wood. If you use tin cans, you can always cover them. Great idea."

"I have seen these organizers before but I never thought of using them under the sink. It is great idea for those small sponges and other things that can fit into the pockets. I usually just throw them in a drawer. This organizers it better. The organizer is not hard to make and will not take much time. Thank you."

I have always wanted to learn how to do this! i don't know if I would try it in my home, but it's a really creative idea.

Wild and different idea. I have never heard or seen this before. It certainly would be different. I wonder if it would stand up to things being dropped on it or would it chip? And how do you clean it? Epoxy is treated differently than regular flooring. I will have to do some reading up on it before I try it.

I love this project. It's such a fun way to get rid of all of those pennies we collect over the years.

I love this! I am definitely putting this on my to do list! This is a great thing to do with all of those pennies that get put in a jar and locked away. I am completely amazed with this project! And it sounds so easy. I am thinking how great this would look with nickels! I would love the shiny silver with my black appliances. Maybe a combination would be good. So many great ideas, and so much inspiration!

This is such an amazing project! I haven't seen them on Pinterest but will be sure to look up penny projects now. I think this would be a great backsplash in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Has anyone made a penny backsplash yet? I am wondering if the Elmer's Glue is strong enough to hold the pennies vertically on the wall.

I've seen things like this in restaurants and stuff, but I never considered doing it myself until now!
