A woman has transformed a drab and boring floor into a spectacular work of art - and all it took was 7,500 pennies.
Kelly Graham, who owns the Etsy shop Camias Jewelry Designs, spent three weeks arranging the coins on her hallway floor, and, as we're sure you'll agree, the result is phenomenal.
The LA native explained that she had to make multiple trips to the bank for the pennies, which she grouted and sealed herself.

The Esty jewelry maker then had to painstakingly ensure that each of the pennies, which date all the way back to 1910, were facing the heads up.
Graham explained that she began to create the floor pattern with a few old pennies of her own, and it wasn't long before it took on a life of its own, causing her to need thousands more coins.

Graham did not enlist the help of any professionals to create her floor, which meant that it only cost her its face value - $75 (plus supplies).

Graham created her floor five years ago, but she recently revealed in a Facebook post that she was inspired to reshare her creation after Kat Von D shared her's on social media.
The impressive feat didn't go unnoticed either, and Von D herself liked Graham's handiwork.

Graham said that while she did tag Von D in her post because the makeup mogul has seven million followers, she never expected her to notice.
The Esty shop owner said that she's pleased with how her floor has fared over the years, explaining that she has a few children, but it still looks as good as it ever did five years on.

One commenter wrote: "That is the coolest thing ever!!"
A second remarked: "I love this project so much!"
