I love getting inspired!

I always love learning about what inspires people, and the things they use to be inspired. A girl here at my work was telling me all about her crazy weekend. How her and her friends drank so much beer they created a pyramid of beer cans. Not that that is that important to my story.. but I got thinking with all those cans what a waste! Not that I'm the "green-est" person, but I do try and recycle and do my part for the earth. So I found this cool house called the Beer Can House.


Retired railroad worker John Milkovisch, began adding to his home in 1968 using pieces of brass, marbles, rocks and buttons. Next came beer cans that were flattened and used for aluminum siding. The cans quickly became his medium and the final product is what you see below.

"This curtain idea is just one of those dreams in the back of my noodle," he once explained.

John and his wife, Mary, have both passed away and thanks to The Orange Show Foundation, a non-profit organization founded to preserve, present, promote and popularize the artistic expressions of ordinary people, the Beer Can House is still a treasure to be seen in Houston.
