I like it, but I think this would work much better for a bar or something.

Cork is a natural product. It's the bark of the cork oak. Once off the tree and water gets on it that doesn't have alcohol in it, it will rot.

Well that's one way to let people know you have a drinking problem.

Or you can just go to a winery or wine store and ask for them. They should be able to give you a bucketful.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

A much more tasteful way to let people you like wine is to hang the old wine bottles from the rafters, a la Fillippi's Pizzeria before it became gay and corporatized.

Pretty much every 'Let's cover a surface in something neat, like wine bottles or pennies!" thing could be made about ten thousand percent better with a sheet of laminate plastic both before and after so that your house doesn't became one giant sheet of black mold after 5 months.

On the cover poo poo with food items crap, how bad if an idea is a desktop made from beer bottle caps, possibly with like a thick layer of epoxy or glass to make the surface flat?

Lots have people have done bottlecap tables. As long as your coating is food safe, I don't see a problem.

The problem with floors and walls covered with kitsch (beyond mere taste) is that you may want to either replace them or clean them. If you can glue your goofy consumption leftovers together in a way that does not negate these two activities, you're solid.

Now excuse me while I get back to work on my chicken bone light fixture.

Wash the caps out first, but pourable epoxy tables are fine. I'd probably fill the backs of all the bottle caps in first so you don't trap air bubbles in the tabletop, but that's just me.

Wire a bluetooth module into your security system and get a SMS to your phone every time someone walks up to your house.

As a bonus you'll get height and weight to supply to the cops if your house does get broken into.

That would be like a nice splash of color to mix up a white/stainless kitchen, but I think that whole mofo is orange.

Also, why would you do a penny top and not do a clear coat finish? Those look like just raw pennies glued onto a concrete countertop. Which is a shameful way to use a concrete countertop, those can be super cool. I have a small fossil collection i'm putting together JUST IN CASE I ever have the chance to put in concrete.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

I thought that penny floors were a terrible idea, but they don't even compare to making them your kitchen counter surface and not even putting a leveling layer on top. Just the grout on tiling can get super gross, that would be a nightmare to clean properly.

I was thinking same. If it was sealed with clear food-safe resin, that would be one thing. The way it is now means it's a gross, contaminated surface.

Bah, copper ions are antibacterial.

And copper poisoning gives you a cool coppery ring around your eye, so that's a bonus too.

I think the only thing that would make it a worse project is if they had actually taken the time and effort of sorting for only pre-1982 pennies.

Copper is actually antimicrobial. The spaces in between? Not so much.

The upside is that your new mold countertop will have pennies in it.

If they're superglued/epoxied on, you may as well trash the entire counter top.

Edit: The copper eye rings look neat, even if they're a sign that your liver/brain is dying due to copper poisoning:
