Madison Berg and James McGann exemplify sustainability and creativity in their New York apartment, utilizing second-hand items and a DIY approach to home improvement. Over two years, McGann transformed their one-bedroom with vibrant, mismatched paints from Home Depot's discount section, inspired by their childhood experiences with resourceful relatives. Berg's background in design and crafting reflects her commitment to functional beauty, while McGann channels his artistic skills as he juggles multiple jobs. Their story emphasizes the beauty in thriftiness and the importance of nurturing one's creativity in urban living.
We go to the Home Depot 'Oops' paint section and see what they have. That's how we decide what to color a room.
Honestly, I paint with whatever I have around.
[...] it was really never about frivolous art-making. It was making beautiful things but for a function.
Being an artist in New York, you have to have like five jobs.
