Gothic Homemaking Episode Four - A Shame of Thrones Part 2

The majestic Gothic furniture Voltaire and Orville found on the internet arrives at the Lair. Can they get it all through the tiny door in one piece before the zombies attack? The news bringing carrier bat may also have a very exciting piece of mail to share with the gents!
Somewhere in there Voltaire demonstrages how to make a Haunted Library End Table out of the skulls of your enemies and some blood soaked books!
Orville, as usual, does little to nothing...

"I ALWAYS REACH FOR MY HAMILTON BEACH THE ONLY VIBRATOR WITH TEETH" IM DEAD 😂

[@grimgracious]

Shoes so fancy you gotta film a shot of them twice apparently.

[@LuciaFiero]

Gotta love John Fluevog. They CITE AV on JF's wikipedia page. That's how I came across this adorbs web show.

[@carna-9501]

Those shoes are amazing actually

[@superapplesauce5218]

It's like taking a double take! I had to those heels were so high

[@brybaby89]

Each episode is better than the last! Have to say, my jaw drops when the Raised by Bats throne was delivered!

[@nicereminders]

Mine too

[@KrystalPerez85]

You can now buy the Raised by Bats throne.

[@jemdemonbelle2097]

Those poor books, but at least they didn't suffer in vain.

[@noniefuss]

OMG! That ending!!!! LMAO! I died! Not only is this series REALLY making me want to redecorate my entire little bat cave, but the laughs just keep coming. From the corny one liners to the delicious looking projects and merch featured, I am always waiting for the next episode! Besos Aurelio!

[@mzledastray2207]

Can't believe HGTV hasn't come knocking. Great show

[@irunamuk]

mzledastray it's because hgtv has no taste 😂

[@ah5721]

@@irunamuk cause HGTV is to basic.

[@gothbunny]

I have a few tips for the end table! To make the top water resistant, either glue glass with with fish tank sealer to the frame before putting the Ouija board in, or use lacquer. You can also seal the books with an acrylic sealer. Mod Podge makes a great spray on version. That way you won't have to worry about paint flaking off or any major damage during it's unlife in your lair. I would find a configuration I'd like for the books and glue them down so they stay in place and won't damage themselves. As always, love the series!

[@thatguyontheright1]

A cheaper option is to use LOCA glue (clear glue) around the edges. It cures clear.

[@stormiedays6537]

gothbunny or resin

[@sydsugarskull]

Omg that throne is absolutely GOREgeous!!!!!

[@funnymandoafunny1810]

Syd Jordan bum dum tish

[@madelinemehok1431]

Orville's comments make me laugh every time. Love this show.

[@nyxshadowhawk]

I need a lair sweet lair sign! I love this show. I can't believe they actually custom made a Raised By Bats throne… Haunt gave you what is basically a free commission? ENVY!!!!

[@doktor_ghul]

Two thrones, a sweet lounge, one superb end table, and Orville's chat? Well, something had to cover all that sound effect filler :) Hearing the legs come off that lounge was physically painful. Anyway, still can't wait for the introduction of book shelving - that's what I'm after. If there's to be a "haunted library end table", there should be a haunted library to go with it.

[@love.wildly.live.fearlessly]

I think a coaster made out of The planchette would serve as even more of a spooky feel.

[@darklyinclined5691]

Orville for President

[@darklyinclined5691]

+Autumn Absinthe lol agreed xx

[@anna_nikole]

That table is freaking genius!!! And that custom chair...no words.

[@heavensvampire]

I gotta say the last clip at 15:30 is HANDS down the best part of this episode.XD

[@OlaCorleone]

I know there are two chairs and a sofa in this episode, as well as a cool as fuck table, but my god I love his shoes.

[@bigindian5457]

Here's a helpful tip I learned when ever you're trying to screw in to a new piece of wood, make a pilot hole where you want it and then wax your screws. This will reduce the chance of the wood cracking and chipping.

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

Orville is such a stinking little trickster! Poor Voltaire sicking Zombies on him like that. Have you no shame Orville Deadenbocker! 💀

[@LSBcomics]

Voltaire, your throne came out fucking amazing, and now I want to make a table like yours.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

As someone who's actual name is Skeletor, when you said, "Cause it's my show, Skeletor." and looked directly into the camera, it caught me off guard.

[@meredith2070]

I️ love how there are so many unsolicited shots of your fierce foot wear🤴🏼

[@mgre95]

That close-up on the shoe gave me so much life

[@TheKiaraLady]

This is quickly becoming my favorite series

[@zaknafein_aconite]

How you managed to drill those books without jet black ink squirting from them is beyond me....

[@Midnightpigeon666]

that has to be the most beautiful gift I have ever seen! a throne! 😍 xxx

[@ladysaranoir]

Such glorious furniture. Also, I need an end table like that.

[@dantecrossroad]

I must know where you acquired your boots! They are most exquisite!

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

See the credits! There's also a link in the video description!

[@dantecrossroad]

Of course. Probably should've looked there first, heh heh heh. My bad and thank you.

[@VRRed]

Dante Crossroad Now please go vote to bring it back online so I can buy a pair!

[@teddiepike4358]

You doing you real nice dude! Informative, entertaining, creative, unique, DARK! nice package. Also, like the show.

[@battybat65]

HOLY DARK GODS the bats on that throne look phenomenal!

[@thatguyontheright1]

On the book thing, you can get drawing books with blank pages that have proper spines like a regular book...this way you don't have to destroy literature...even if it was soaking wet.

[@thirteenfury]

TGOTR I thought of that too! There's plenty of brands that make sketchbooks with all-black felt covers and a hard spine. Although old books with severe fire damage or water damage are perfectly fine imo since they're almost impossible to restore in a legible form anyway.

[@gcbragg]

Or just get a bunch of second-hand copies of "Fifty Shades of Grey"...

[@lestranged]

Nice hardbound sketch books are expensive! Old text books are good to use for projects because they are out of date (often have incorrect information) and not useful anymore. Or he could snag a bible from every hotel room he stays in... I'd love to see the outrage if he showed drilling holes through bibles.

[@thirteenfury]

lestrange That's a great idea too! And they're usually so thick that they could support a lot of weight and you wouldn't need more than 5 or 6 for a standard size end table. Now I know what to do with all those college textbooks I couldn't sell back and nobody wants.

[@PrincessNinja007]

The textbooks often come with red spines already

[@SaraMonsterOfficial]

So many thrones! Also, I can't wait to make that end table! ❤️

[@canadabradford4298]

Literally my favorite show now. I was addicted to home makeover but this needs to be a legit tv show. You have amazing ideas and you're so creative! 💜

[@MedeaJaff]

I'm in the middle of redecorating my place, gothic style of course, so this show couldn't have come at a better time!

[@coffee2l]

I really love the atmosphere and humour of the series. It's a really elegant style that is constantly bombarded by chaos. It's hilarious. And (imo) really gives the feeling that the world around is full of cryptids and occults and that this is the normal. I wish I found your gothic home fixer-up series years sooner. Still, this is very unique and unlike anything else out there (that I am aware of), so I am just glad it exists. It's helping me so much with decorating my room. Thank you

[@ChibiGeeBee]

10:05 OH, THOSE BOOTS

[@davidharvey8063]

Ever since the zombies made a feature ive been waiting for Zombie Prostitute to start playing. i wasnt disapointed!

[@Rav3nSnow]

I'm glad that the project for this episode is more substantial. I wouldn't have thought to make an end table, and it looks so cool. I agree with the other poster who says to seal it. I'm happy you have that lovely furniture now!

[@DevinS.]

i love the after credit parts

[@Aelle_Vox]

It hurts my librarian heart to se someone pierce through books like that, but the result is so beautiful so you're forgiven ^_^ After all, you did give those old dead books a new purpose :D

[@lawomandoors]

Hello Mr. Voltaire, I have just recently discovered you and wanted to say thank you for making me smile.

[@MadiLush]

That surprise ending was incredibly hot. And I'm stealing that saying. lol...

[@NightWillowCrafts]

Absolutely in love with this series!!!! I hope you continue to make several more! 😍

[@irunamuk]

Yes! Please do!

[@DumbassJudgeman]

That Aurelio Voltaire throne was MAJESTIC.

[@queenofbats200]

I love rewatching your series. So much inspirations!! Lately I have been redoing my room bit by bit.

[@TricksterModeEngaged]

that end table project looks so cool

[@QueenSlore]

I literally can't wait for Thursdays now, lol. I love the end table! Great idea

[@DoeElyfer]

This show just keeps getting better and better XD

[@jessicakelly1418]

love to go back and watch your videos.

[@Sylverwynde]

I love that end table! But hurting books..... I don't know if I could do it.......

[@Sewblon]

Getting a fitting device with holes for 4 screws and only screwing in one screw. Living dangerously.

[@aligorzeimet4029]

And that last part was gold.

[@soulfulseeker7631]

Wow,you have totally Rocked the Joint man, I LOVE IT !!!.. That Table , OMGhoul... I Must Make This,.Its Soo Classic looking for your Dark layer Cave. I Can't thank you enough for doing this Series. I hope you do More Ghoulish things with the Hole. PLEASE do take a Big Bite outta the Gothic Styles we Adore ! Thanks again 🕸🕆💋

[@sbkMulletMan]

I was going to say something cute and happy about Raised by Bats, then I saw the stinger....now I'm just scared, and oddly aroused. Great way to start the day!

[@teresasimpson5143]

I would of used old textbooks; after all who really wants to read an old textbook on purpose? lol Love the table design. And the Im in love with the first throne.

[@darktwistedwitch]

OMG!! The Haunted Library Ente Table (sorry if I misspelled that) was a really nice concept!! I love that! I want to make one eventually if I ever get my own apartment! :D

[@starschriver3756]

Great show! I love the throne Haunt made for you! All of your new furniture is amazing. Enjoy it!

[@damianbrynn8372]

I love the library end table. And this homemaking series.

[@tunifang]

The seats look great. They also look like, if you wanted to, easy to reupholster to any other color.

[@CopyCatCo]

Those are some freaking amazing chairs.

[@hellisforhorses]

Voltaire, I've been binge watching your gothic homemaking videos for the past few nights, and I have to say you are super creative! They are really fun to watch. I subscribed for your music, and stayed for your diy videos! Thanks for the awesome content, looking forward to your future work!

[@kingcornelius865]

At least, I managed to see this wonderful video! Specially because I'm so happy that you finally spoke directly to us, your loyal followers. We always knew it was you the brain of the situation; and not the biggest, actually the only. 'Cause, let us write it, Aurelio is great for Art, so we can't ask him for more... Actually, some zombie must have ate my brain. In fact, I laughed so much for the "holy books" (thank you also Voltaire for being respectful but truly Artist at the same time) and for the end scene. So, do you think I'll have a way to be mind-sane again or am I just going to love Aurelio's Art and Fun for much more time?

[@Gothkitty23]

I seriously think this show is the best!! Loving rewatching all your episodes!!

[@Zenia666]

WOW...just WOW! That bat throne is absolutely gorgeous, along with the other two pieces of furniture. I'm in love! I've always seen photos of furniture like that and never knew where to get them other than blackcraft cult (which is an amazing company btw) but it's pretty pricey...so, thanks! Also, I LOVE reading and always wanted to know how to make a cool book end table, and now I know how! Thanks a bunch! XOXO

[@sshantasm2555]

Bloody hell I'm gonna have a go at that table..... Thanks for the idea, you absolute creature xx

[@DedSysOp]

The vibrator with teeth!

[@irunamuk]

I was DYING laughing at that one!

[@thearmchairscholarsguide1894]

Another fantastic episode! Here's hoping that you and Orville settle the dispute of Thrones.

[@lo9012]

great designs and that succubus is succulent! gorgeous

[@piscesrain8882]

You should have totally added some cheesy porn music to the chase lounge and throne parts ! Lol , b/c that my friend is 100% furniture porn !

[@GrizzlyHansen]

Coming back to watch it again, and again.

[@junglepitts]

I love books and didn't like watching books being treated in such a way but I must admit I want to do that too! Lol, loved the table!!

[@louandfer15]

Orville deserves a throne too 💀🙏

[@tamarakoschantova2298]

That table is absolutely gorgeous!

[@FlowersOfIcetor]

I love the table! Personally, I think it would look better with the books skewed for a more organic, used feel, but that's just me

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

The books are on a pipe. They can be placed in absolutely any configuration. I generally have them in a spiral but they didn't end up that way in this episode for some reason. I think you'll see them in their usual spiral formation in following episodes. ; )

[@MrDemdemsitar]

i was almost expecting a video to be up today not really a GHe but something spooky related because like Halloween is like his holiday

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

It's hard enough making these episodes on time without creating OTHER videos. Sorry! LOL! I'm already over extended. ; )

[@MrDemdemsitar]

It's okay i know creating content is hard and all. Sorry if my comment was an asshole thing of me to say.

[@AM-lw6kl]

Orville is awesome! Yes I would watch your show. Who comes up with his lines? Hysterical!

[@kaliefurr9419]

Dude this series just keeps getting better and better. I am benge watching this! Plus a beautiful throne was delivered. In love with it. I love being a Goth.

[@Jukejointjeze0n]

With as much wine as you drink, please consider adding a piece of plexiglass to the top of that end table. That board will stain something fierce. Just seal it in place with a little waterproof clear epoxy.

[@crimsonwriter4024]

3:37 ITS LIKE A SPOOK HOUSE IM DONE OML I literally died of laughter if that wasn't scripted then dear god it makes it even greater

[@NikolaiWowe]

Beautiful thrones! They look so comfy!

[@OctoberGrimm]

That end table is divine! As someone with no knowledge of power tools, I'm dying to try this!

[@LoisIsATimeLord]

Absolutely fabulous Good Sir! Can't wait till next week

[@willowflame13]

I was waiting for someone to start yelling "PIVOT" when they were bringing the chaise up!

[@Cheshire_Grins]

The table was incredible. I know the next project I'm working on. But holy hells that throne! I want it!

[@lizcoyne5442]

That's such an awesome idea for a table! I can't wait until you get to the kitchen.

[@TheFairyGothmother]

omg the furniture is spooktacular! A custom Haunt throne just for you! That's so fucking amazing! I love the coffin shape back. the table is so cool. can't wait until next episode. I'm sure orville scared the zombies off. 😂

[@sonofriggnarok9320]

I laughed a little too hard at the Holey joke.

[@night8owel8]

Okay but that customized throne is fucking amazing

[@theaterbat]

This was awesome. Absolutely loved it, and I can't wait for the other episodes!

[@priscapoteau6843]

It makes me so happy whenever I see a new video!

[@lostinafaerietale9406]

Wow that throne is stunning!

[@arielblair4725]

for the end table I would say it might look better if the books were layered as a twist, reached one turned a little so they don't all face the same direction. just a thought

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

The books are on a pipe and can be organized in any way. I to generally keep them in a twist as you will see in other episodes.

[@themoonflowerfaerie]

All the furniture was just fabulous, and I really loved your Bat throne

[@j.s.walker3656]

Your ideas are so creative and really unique! I hope in the future you can do more!

[@ollayze8863]

Love that Voltaire throne!

[@yamiari7351]

i love this table... and this show 😍 and of course you two ... i can't decide what i love the most but i need more of this!!!

[@LuciaFiero]

It's SO camp, it's adorable. I really like how you make the silly stories an opportunity to have your pals on the show with you. You must have so much fun! MY question is: How to be goth while out and about in the streets of NYC when the heat index is as high as it is right now!?

[@FilthySoapCore]

Orvil should have his own show

[@cherinuchell4578]

saw that throne...literally drooled.

[@woodswitchprints]

I'm making a drinking game of every time you say "paint it black," lol

[@TuckerSP2011]

I'm loving this series!
