Gothic Homemaking Episode 6 - Wardrobe of the Damned Part 2

Gothic Homemaking returns with this, the first episode of Season Two! In it, Aurelio Voltaire ventures to the wilds of New Jersey to pick up that custom made coffin shaped armoire, and he does it in the only vehicle fitting to pick a coffin up in. He then demonstrates where to find vintage coffin handles and how to make a Mystical Vanishing Chest and Summoning Table.... all while avoiding the fangs of a Russian vampire princess.

That whole hearse-at-fedex-situation has to be one of the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[@Daystar311]

You are quite the dashing figure as you walked down the street of shops. You elevate Goth for men to a whole other level of Victorian, Steampunk and Gothic class. I always love what you wear.

[@abigailrosado2666]

Hi my name is Abigail but you could me Abby can't I be you're New friend on the page I just want some tobe my friend

[@noniefuss]

Can I just hire you to make over my entire existence?

Nonie Fuss Id hire him for an interior redecoration!

Lolll queer eye who? Voltaire fix my life

[@soulsurfer5531]

I think you’d goth it good from 2020 on... I kinda feel like he’s magical. Is it me?. Idk Voltaire well. He showed up randomly on my Home pg & I’ve just kept watching. Idkw

[@ragnarsilverboard6803]

Did you get your makeover?

[@noniefuss]

@@ragnarsilverboard6803 Haha! I wish!

[@danieldonathan3361]

My kids want to make their bathroom a gothic bathroom. I could jokingly say that it is "your fault," but I would rather say thank you. They've put their heads together and are designing. I'm sure some of it is the influence of their mother and I, but they've seen your videos and feel like they can create cool things, with supervision of course. Cheers to you from the Bible belt, good Sir.

[@angelabenedict]

The humor of it being in a tempur-pedic box is not lost on me!

[@daltonkellebrew2236]

Seeing that... I was peeling in laughter, Ironically i used to work as a forklift operator (Not for FedEx) and had i been the guy in the forklift at that moment. i just would not be able to contain myself Not only because i would be loading up something for Voltaire. But because of the morbid irony of the situation. And i swear if anybody asked why we were loading a tempedic box into a Hearse. i would have responded with "The guys mattress was so expensive he couldnt afford a coffin afterwards" Because those things are so damned pricey!

[@tempestates13]

I have a bench seat almost like that. I do not recommend taking a nap on it.

[@savannahk6244]

One thing I've learned from gothic homemaking: Measurements are somewhat important..

[@reereephillipsbeauty]

Have I ever mentioned that you're one of the coolest people I know? Can't wait to meet you in person!

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

AW, you are the sweetest!!! Really looking forward to shooting with you in Brisbane! It's now looking like I may be there the end of May.

[@BirdiePlaysYT]

ReeRee Phillips I had the ultimate privilege of meeting him last month at iCon. he's super kind, super cool and just all around the best idol a person could ever hope for. especially given the bit of history he told us ....

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

The Melbourne show was last week.

[@Gonegonegonee]

ReeRee Phillips ReeRee🎃😍 I love your channel

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

@@TheLairofVoltaire I just noticed that when you collect the wardrobe from Fex Ex Freight you're outfit makes you look like a mortician. 🤣👍💀⚰

[@theburgerbrains]

It's so refreshing to see DIY other than ripped fishnets and cut t-shirts! Does anyone know of any forums for gothy overhauls and more in-depth DIY like this? I want to see everyone's DIYs!

[@CoffinRock]

hi there ! I begun to make some DIY, for the moment very easy ones coffinrock666.blogspot.fr/2017/02/goth-it-yourself-tuto-le-coussin-dark.html and in french ;) I also made a Coffin Shaped underwear fourniture in cardboard wich was really fun.. a long long long time ago, I have to put it online one day !

[@IrkenZim123]

Coffin Rock do you have it in English by chance?

[@angelawehnert8358]

Those left over spirit board planchettes would make great coasters for your new table :)

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Great idea!

[@karenhekman]

Flippin genius. And how sexy is a goth who knows how to drill? I am dead.

[@andrecadi8553]

He did the most to that table... The MOST.

[@irunamuk]

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany" Im CRYING laughing.

[@ayashisamattv2833]

The shriek I made when I immediately recognised the high street XD Sai Sai is one of my absolute favourites there as well.

[@jesigothichippy9579]

that coat Aurelio is absolutely, to die for. get it? haha. but seriously, you are the love child of Dacula's daughter and the Goblin King. I freaking love it.

[@reaperkollyns6495]

The Obi-wan quote.....I lost it. This is amazing in every way possible >.

[@SaraMonsterOfficial]

Aw, what a sport Bill is! And I am now absolutely obsessed with the idea of my very own Summing Table. Your ideas are endless!! Can't wait for the next episode 🖤 xx

[@billinjapan7012]

Sara Monster, thank you very much.

[@Confetti_Head_Gore]

@@filipematias5127 Well it could be a Summing Table, because you ADD things to the top of it ;D lol

[@Javiikyuu]

@@billinjapan7012 I would love to see any footage of you singing with Voltaire from that miss vampire pageant

[@PeteyHoudini]

Loved it! So funny. I like how the guy offers to show up with a hearse to help with the delivery of the coffin. Great addition to the story. It was amazing how you transformed that ottoman. Kudos!

[@soulsurfer5531]

You’re magical with finding true treasures because of your innate infinite imagination Voltaire. 🖤

[@drakonyanazkar]

You gotta admit, custom homemaking is far easier if you live in New York. Or anywhere in the States, for that matter.

[@rolandomartinez7730]

the rat made me laugh out loud, I didn't expect it. it was great

[@candyalchemist]

My partner and I needed storage AND a table. I'll let them know that Voltaire once again will be making an influence on our home!

[@codakose4877]

An amazing musician, charming person, can speak multiple languages, awesome author, incredible at DIY, and on top of all that, you're immortal! Is there anything you can't do?

[@DTyrannosaurus]

You ALMOST managed to make it through the episode without saying "Modge Podge"! 😂

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

I just noticed that when Voltaire collects the wardrobe from Fex Ex Freight. The outfit he's wearing makes him look like a mortician. 🤣👍💀⚰

[@PracticingStitchcraft]

The vanishing chest/summoning table is awesome! My coffee table might need an evil makeover 😈

[@spasticpug5209]

Voltaire I think perhaps you should show how to customize clothes in spooky ways

[@JOEking990]

I have so many assignments to work on, but this is so much more important. Thank you for what you do, you're an inspiration, I always look forward to everything you do and you are my favorite entertainer.

[@runesage]

I doubt someone will notice my comment on a 5 year old video, but this series is a joy to watch. Makes me smile an a bit worm inside ) visual pleasure to my eyes))

[@usagi17per]

Omygawf thats where I saw Voltaire in person for the first time 😍 at the pageant Miss Hawaii Vamp🤩 it was amazing Voltaire is so cool 😎 I wish I could have hugged him longer haha

[@marta3268]

Couldn't stop laughing with the scene of the huge feedex box placing inside that vehicle, it was too funny. I love this show! :)

[@severomales5824]

I love you Voltaire. You showed me the beauty which is being goth. Thank you

[@KreeZafi]

These videos inspire me SO much to make fancy stuff! They also give me hope that I may be able to create a beautiful gothic lair of my own without first having to become a millionaire.

[@vanessalane8037]

so you were the one who brought the etsy coffin handles I had my eye on I was going to use them for a bedside table

[@horsie890]

What did we as humanity ever do to deserve such godliness gracing our humble presence?

[@azop]

That coffin project was definitely coolest part of this episode

[@pollypocket2282]

Okay.... Who else is rewatching the entire series during quarantine?!? Now, I might have already commented this the first time around, but I would suggest adding a piece of glass beneath the frame... I think it would have made it easier to clean as well as make it look a little more expensive! Also, I wish Voltaire would do a series of crafts to do during quarantine... maybe found objects, maybe gifts for friends and relatives for the holidays. I am looking forward to his new videos!

[@carlossebastiannecroticgot7232]

I like the way you decorate that ottoman with the baphomet and the Ouija board

[@xxn1ghtm4rep01s0nxx]

First, a succubus, now a vampire. You just can't catch a break, can you, Voltaire?

[@kakashisgirlrox]

It's been five months since the last episode? Time is moving so fast I swear wtf, still am very glad this series is back!

[@krisnaisley]

I love what you did to enhance the coffin shaped armoire! And the Mystical Vanishing Chest and Summoning Table is phenomenal! !

[@avalonwatchingvideos2683]

That coffin wardrobe is to DIE for!!

[@stevestevenson4862]

I wonder what the guy walking past at 9:18 was thinking about the two guys opening a coffin in the street....

[@angelabenedict]

I have an ottoman that I'm definitely doing this to.

[@horokuhiya5416]

I have a pc who is missing a leg. And now I am certain that the furniture legs you found would be perfect! Ideas over ideas. Now I just need to find out where to buy furniture legs, but I'll claim that's the easy part. Thank you, Aurelio Voltaire

THAT AMAZING VAMPIRE COFFIN I'M THINKING GOING TO PUT IT ON MY LIVING ROOM MAKEOVER IDEAS.

[@lathya5069]

As a New Yorker who grew up near the New Jersey boarder, I'd just like to say that I delight in your dislike of New Jersey. It puts a smile on my face. And I love the attention to detail! Definitely giving me more than a few ideas for when I get a place of my own when I stop moving around so much!

[@Chao_Master]

"Some assembly required" I died.

[@bk24769]

I will forever be jealous of your creativity and craftmanship! It's amazing how well you've decorated your small apartment without making it look cluttered. I'm definitely going to use some of these tips and ideas in the future. Thanks for keeping the show going for another season!

[@kethe]

That Scorpion coat is pretty amazing.

[@Kny8]

The embellishments really made the coffin standout

[@vickythiel3049]

The clip at the end had me cackling like a witch. 😂

[@GrizzlyHansen]

Thanks for persevering and getting this out.

[@SGRmoss]

That table is INCREDIBLE! I have never lusted after a piece of furniture so hard before.

[@VaruniaKhan]

Ahhh this is rad!! Really enjoying all of your gothic homemaking videos!! I'll be moving out to a new place in 6 or so months and will definitely be taking on a lot of your ideas for decorating the joint. Looking forward to the next video in the series!! xx

[@Flame4Moonlight]

Great Episode, I enjoy it really!On top of all..I just came from disturbing funeral..It was horror..my girlfriends younger brother crash with bike.I still don't have words.How do i found this impressive after what survived today? Well it's simple i just see what most people on this world don't; Fascination with death means, and it's really the only true way to show how much you are fascinated with life ! No more..no less.

[@spookymarirev]

IM SO HAPPY ITS BACK JBDHDKFKFK (also I'd like to say thank you for putting S.L.U.T.S on the lair painting episode, because of that I really got into them :') )

[@robinshempert39]

Really enjoyed this video. Lots of ideas and helpful info. I LOVE the mystical vanishing chest and summoning table. I want one. You pay such attention to detail like the little gems hiding the corner screws.

[@jetta.silence6356]

wow and here i am with an old black steamer trunk as a coffee table. But i did use mod podge or modge podge (i forget) to lay down old pages of a vampire novel on top. it works.I keep all my blankets and bedsheets in there.

[@AmourEtLumiere]

Isn't Voltaire just so creative and gorgeous?❤ Wish I could me a man like him.

[@CeceliaIvyPriceArtisticChaos]

I wish I had seen this before I went to London. I managed to go through both halves of Highgate Cemetery and the Astrology Shop (only had one day there). But now I know where to head if I get my art in another show across the pond! Love the Summoning Table! I really want to make one now.

[@annickpaul2039]

I didn't know how much i missed this until i watched this episode.

[@nocturnalflare8457]

I'm always in awe of your creativity and craftsmanship! I wish my place looked as dark and decadent. This is a gothic dream

[@ambrogia966]

This video gave me a childhood flashback like no other! When i was a child , my mother always knew I was a strange little thing and I remember her asking me "So when you grow up what kind of car would you drive?" and my answer always was "I want to drive a hearse!" haha These Gothic Homemaking episodes are the greatest and they also have encouraged me to finish my makeup/art room (aka my sanctuary). Prior to discovering these videos I decorated the room with skull and raven statues because I love gothic aesthetic and Edgar Allen Poe but now you've given me SO MANY more ideas!

[@sashakatrinahaggerty6949]

I can't get over just how gorgeous the things you DIY are tho!

[@Verona_Draven]

I don't use this complement for just anything but I'm going to use it now. That armoire is bad ass!!!

[@princessjime]

So many awesome ideas and no money to do them... why God, whyyyy? You rock, Voltaire 👿💖

[@grimleo2038]

If your ever in Minnesota let us goths know. Big fan and you've given me so much ideas for my future home decor.

[@LoisIsATimeLord]

Yay! So glad Gothic Homemaking is back! Absolutely Fantastic Voltaire. Keep up the great work, the lair is looking great x

[@nyxshadowhawk]

Finally, Gothic Homemaking is back!

[@BLU3NX]

Voltaire thank you, I found this show and It's really helping me open up to my goth side. I was always weary of happily going goth cause of not wanting to completely freak out my parents who were a bit anti-goth. Glad I found this when I started college.

I love this series so much. I love gothic homemaking videos but all the others are done by people who live in homes or giant apartments. I am looking to get a tiny home soon so this is a life saver

[@gothickittypaws2135]

Absolutely loved this episode,that Vanishing chest and Summoning Table is super fucking cool! You might I add that you look dashing in that Punk Rave Jacket

I just wanted a leave a comment letting you know I'm really enjoying these videos. I know how much blood, tears, and money you've poured into them, and I think the results are worth it. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'll keep sharing it with everyone I know.
