Back on November 23, 2024 I had the idea to turn my unfinished, cluttered basement into my dream 80s/90s retro lounge.

This started as a completely unused, dusty basement… and slowly turned into "The Retro Retreat".

I’ve been piecing it together over time with mostly Facebook Marketplace, thrift store finds, and a few gifted items. No big budget—just a vision and a lot of patience.

Wanted a space that feels like stepping back into the 80s/90s. Somewhere to hang out with family, watch old movies, listen to music, and just unplug for a while.

It’s still a work in progress, but it finally feels like it has its own vibe instead of just being a basement.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions for the next weekend upgrade? 🔥
