Russian pensioner Olga Kostina lives in the very rural, isolated Russian village of Karmarchaga, located about 50 miles southeast of Krasnoyarsk, and in the Siberian Taiga. She collected colorful plastic caps and nailed about 30,000 of them into place to create all kinds of mosaic designs and patterns across the facade of her house.

She decorated using repetitive geometric patterns and portraits of cute animals that live in the surrounding forest. She had enough bottle caps to also decorate other structures in her neighborhood.
