When my mom bought our house a couple years ago, it was a 2 bedroom, with an unfinished basement. Since then I've built two bedrooms in the basement and when I did my bedroom for the first time, I was kind of strapped for cash, and my mom could have cared less about the state of the basement so we finished it with whatever materials we had left. I got around 500$ back for my tax return last month, so I decided to make my room even more mine, and so I began renovating.
This is when we were still putting up the walls a couple of years ago.

I painted the cement wall black, it was really ugly. Oh, and that's my friend Kaila, I think we were getting high on lunch break or something.

This is my old computer setup, when I still had an hp. PC seriously sucks.

In with the new. This stuff is all going in the closet when I build it, in a few weeks.
There used to be a loveseat in this area, I haven't decided what to do with it yet. That's where the black cement wall used to be though.

This is basically the closet area, it's a mess right now. Right where the white stripe ends on the left, there is going to be a wall. and then two folding doors are going to close it off, and there will be shelves and such and I'll finally have a closet that won't fall apart like those crappy canadian tire ones.

This is the only wall thats decorated, other than a painting underneath the lights

My TV setup. It's cool because it's connected to my computer on the other side of the room.

My computer setup, I didn't make the actual desk part, but all of the brown wood is handcrafted by me, I decided I wanted a hutch to put my printer on, and so I made one, because they are super expensive in stores. It cost me about 20 dollars for the wood, 8 dollars for the stain, and 5 dollars for the sandpaper and about 30 hours build time all together.

It looks really neat in the dark, I think.

Finally, A shot of my bed. The hard wood is new, there used to be carpet on most of the floor. It was viridian green before, now it's jungle green.

I have zero training/experience, and zero real world experience with carpentry.
