Alright...I got my space set up (minus ventilation..that is coming) and figured I'd share the progress so far.
I really wanted to be able to use the entire space inside due to the limited amount of space to begin with. You can see that I decided to build a false wall/door. I did it like this so I can still close the regualr door so it appears to be a normal closet if I have to. I just plan on keepin the bedroom door locked.
Here's what i did. I took a large refrigerator box (because it's made with extremely heavy duty cardboard...easier to work with than wood for my purposes.) I Cut it to size and put it inside the closet and screwed it in secure. Then I cut out a smaller door into the cardboard and devised a high-tech Duct Tape "hinge". I put extensions on the outside of this new door so I could put Industrial Strength Velcro on it to use as a "stopper"/"latch" as you can see in the pics. Glue did not work in holding this on there so I took a bolt, nut, and two washers on each bolt and put one washer on teh insiade and one washer on the outside of the door and tightened it down. Works really good
I lined the entire inside of the room with the mylar except the cieling cuz it's already white and I don't feel like going through the hassle of doing it. But if you guys happen to recommend that I do that..I will. I got inside the room and there are zero light leaks.
I put the clothes hanger bar back up...I figure I will use that to suspend my ligt fixture from. I left room in the top right and the bottom left corners to install my ventilation. I bought two 4 inch fans to install. Which leads me to my next question. Should I use a regaulr fan-blowing-in intake...or a passive intake? It's an upper apartment and it is summer time where it gets to about 90 out some days. So it can get pretty warm up here sometimes. I'm thinking regular intake...what do you guys think?
Here are some pics
Outside of the closet. Thank you Samsung

There's still a little bit of tidying up to do. What do ya'll think so far?
