After weeks of planning, it;s finally done! Total cost was around $35...excluding light fixtures and bulbs. The lights I used were those flexible, clamp desk lights, but I ended up just taking the clamp and flex tube off them.

It's been 2 days now, and he's still getting used to the whole new setup. Won't take him too long though!

Awesome! That's very good work! I like that background. And I especially like the squiggle shaped window!
