Copper penny fireplace floor

Well I'm thrilled with my efforts on this latest project! Hubby had to finish the sides and floor of our knocked through fireplace with cement, so I took the opportunity to lay 1 pence pieces into the floor whilst it was wet!

Had a bit of an 'emergency moment' when I realised that I had drastically underestimated how many coins I would need, I have no idea what I did but I was short about £8 worth! Lol

After a dash to the post office, and borrowing a copper saving jar from a friend, it's completed. Yesterday I gave it a nice shiny coat of to seals gloss hard as nails floor varnish. It's now super shiny and I love it
