When I was a child I had a red light up in our walk in cedar closet. I had a Bogen enlarger and the chemicals to do black and white pics. I loved playing with them to make changes that software makes it so easy today.

Cool!
A family friend had a darkroom, and taught me how to process film in a Kodak plastic spiral-reel device that you'd "walk" the film into with a back and forth motion (in total darkness).
I bought some of the basic chemicals, some dime-store trays, and an old enlarger that I used for a while to make black and white prints.
Later, when I was in college, I set up a darkroom in a tiny hall closet. I needed an enlarger, so I bought an old bellows camera at a pawn shop and built my own with a coffee can and sideways lightbulb...
Ah, the fun we had! :D
