Anyone who’s ever visited a post-soviet country would’ve probably noticed some dull and depressing Eastern Bloc apartment buildings. Designed solely for one purpose—to put a roof over the heads of as many residents as possible, as quickly as possible—these buildings are definitely not the greatest example of charming architecture. However, the people who lived behind the iron curtain learned to make the most of what they had, and that included decorating the yards and hallways of these hideous apartment blocks. However, creativity and taste don’t always go hand in hand. While we would like to say take a look at these amazing, mesmerizing, wonderful gardens and hallways, all we can actually say is look at these… quirky gardens and hallways. Of course, this doesn’t apply to all of them because there’s some amazing ideas in this list as well. But mostly… well, we really don’t want to get your hopes up. Scroll down below. Upvote. Comment. Roast us. You know, the usual.

64-year-old Kristina Šeniauskienė has gone viral for her impressive garden in front of the apartment building where she lives. “I work for the compliments,” the crafty woman told the local TV station. “Throughout my life, I have never received as many compliments as I do now,” she added. Every day, she spends somewhere from 5 to 6 hours working on 60 different plants in the garden.
She started taking care of the garden 11 years ago. “When I’m working outside with the flowers, I don’t feel any pain,” she said. “But when I come back, lay down in my bed, my body starts to get sore. So I feel better here [outside]. Just like in childhood—I don’t want to come back home in the evenings,” she added, smiling. “Every year, she comes up with some new compositions,” one neighbor told the TV news station. “We come here like it’s some kind of museum.”
