CoCo Designs Happy to help. I used a roll of screen (the kind you use on a screen door), clear silicone caulking and wax paper. Lay out the wax paper on cardboard and tape down with masking tape, put the screen over that and then glue the pennies down with caulking. Once they have dried, you can peel off the penny mesh and roll it back up. Most will stay on. I then attached heavy duty chicken wire to the walls with a staple gun to give it volume and laid the penny mesh over it. Stapling where needed. To finish it off, glue on pennies with a hot glue gun to create the trailing up the walls and give it a more organic feel. Good luck! I would love to see what you come up with.

CoCo Designs Hello. The table was a custom piece from adbusch woodworking. The chairs are from West Elm and the bench is also a custom piece at Branch & Birdie. Thanks!

A Penny for Your ThoughtsDesign team: CoCo DesignsPart abstract painting, part bold dining space, Coco Designs used the tiled exterior of the Museo Soumayo in Mexico City as inspiration for this half wall tiled with pennies. The rest of the design centers around the painting of a woman, resulting in a room that can happily host guests with a daring sense of style.Suggested menu: Filet mignon, an aged cognac and a seriously decadent dessert.

hands down the best lounge area yet...and it's used as a dining room!!! I might be willing to give up on the diner booth idea and go for something more cozy and plush; and the pennies on wall is great esp w/ floor lights and the curtains and the moss...WOW!
