NBC New York recently published a story about a young couple in Chicago that renovated their bedroom. The catch? They used 39,000 pennies to cover their 380 square foot room! Check out this story at the link below.

I think one of my cousins is studying to become an interior designer, so that must make me some sort of expert. So as a self-proclaimed interior designer, I have to admit I was pretty impressed when I saw this story. This creative couple explored the boundaries of interior design, and for that, I think that they should be applauded. As of now, I consider them my artistic role models. Really! This penny floor has provided me some deep inspiration for my art. I wish I could be that creative by myself, but if I follow the example of Ryan Lange and Emily Belden, then maybe one day I could outdo the tremendous work that they have done. While by no means am I advocating this type of designing for everyone, I think this couple showed that if you want to be considered a legitimate interior designer, you should definitely have some kind of monetary-themed floor.  Interior design world look out! These guys are for real and show no sign of going away anytime soon.

So what do you think? Is this couple creative or crazy? Is the floor expressive or just expensive? And what about those rare pennies? Can someone please tell me where I can find valuable coins like those?
