Code Orange! The Best Halloween Home Decor of 2024 PART 2! (TJ Maxx/Joann/Michaels)

[@Kat_Nguyen]

I have the metal gothic tray from michaels. I use it for a mini cemetery scene. Voltaire throwing bills at the dancing skeleton was the funniest sight.

[@kelseyjennings5236]

That was my thought. Or turn it into a Beetlejuice-esque zen garden?

[@woopwoopwoopwoopwful]

I use mine as a key/wallet tray by my front door. It's big enough that there's a plant within its confines too.

[@maevarobert3367]

I cackled so hard at Voltaire giving money to the dancing skeletton 😂 And when the chandelier fell on Orville ! Loved this episode very much 💜

[@EmSwaff2]

My fiancé and I are planning a Halloween wedding and I always look to your videos for ideas for an elegant yet spooky event. Definitely gotta get my hands on that book for some helpful ideas.

[@rosegonella3098]

Well obviously you would use those fenced trays as the base for a model cemetery!

[@Angel-rq3pi]

It even has a gate, albeit a non-working version

[@rosegonella3098]

@@Angel-rq3pi bet someone with the skills could make it a working gate...

[@mr_selfdestruct]

I went to a TK Maxx (EU branch of TJ Maxx) for the first time two weeks ago and I STOCKED UPPP on Halloween home decor! I got some beautiful black ombre drinking glasses with bats on them that I'll be using year round! I love that Halloween is getting bigger in my country!

[@Macallion]

We have TK in the UK too, and we always have a good selection in our branches. Last year we had some beautiful black cushions with detailed embroidered snakes in metallic silver thread. I think there should still be some Halloween stock around in a branch or two by the time that part of the tour begins.

[@Aigra]

We have these in Germany but so far, I only found candles.

[@6DireWolf9]

I was going to say "Poor Orville, he can't catch a break." But it looks like he caught several from that chandelier, so never mind. ✌😁

[@tempestates13]

😆

[@kuriosastoryteller]

Mayumi is indeed the fairest gothic Snow White 🤍❤🖤

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

I can't wait to hear the next round of Spooky Dad Puns. 💀🤪

[@SkyeID]

Voltaire is a Dad??😮

[@Chrisdead27]

When the chandelier fell. I immediately started dying of laughter. But the collection to find items use year round. I do believe your fiancée is the winner on this one.

[@midnightsky4898]

Living for that Vision Video reference! And that ending! Hilarious!!! You two are so cute 🥰

[@davidcantu824]

❤ BOTH OF YA AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY

[@dayaninikhaton]

This beats anything on HGTV

[@Chrisandra82]

The ending with the 3 of you arguing was EPIC!!! I rewatched it several times and laughed so much. Your faces when Orville got hit was truly perfect. Thank you, all so much. AGAIN AGAIN!!

[@old_arsed_eldergoth2800]

I can't even begin to describe how much I've missed this show 🖤

[@SharonDonovan-f8i]

The tray with the 'wrought iron'-look fence could be used to make a little model cemetery if you add some of those mini gravestones.

[@janefox7332]

My family and I love watching your videos my little girl is 6 and she loves watching your videos too godbless all the way from the UK ❤❤

[@justtamms]

I truly have been so thankful for you and for Mayumi for showing the great items available for those of us who prefer a darker look to our own lairs all year long! And your DIY videos have given me such great design ideas for what seems like ages.Not to mention the years my daughter and I have enjoyed dancing to your awesome albums from time to time in our own lil dance parties at home. Again, thank you so much (and Mayumi as well) for being you and bringing even more dark joy, creativity and fun to our lives all these years.🖤

[@MunchyMakesStuff]

They're busy arguing about cats and bats and I'm just here like "but I love both..." Anyways, this feels like an appropriate time to bring up that 1 of my favorite DnD characters to play as is my high elf vampire bard I made based off Voltaire because I was asked to make a redeemable and understandable villain XD

[@MariaFrancesca]

Ha ha ha, nothing cheers me up like this spooky couple 😀

[@YokosukaVictoria]

I love your Vision video cover at the end 😂

[@twylap8525]

I love both of yalls aesthetics, super fun to see the way you blend them.

[@marianneapple2533]

I have 4 of those black metal cemetery trays to keep my horror movie collection in.🖤

[@pinkyhodgkins2185]

"Disco Comfort" - Love it all! Cheers to another great video!🖤💜🧡

[@AliceBluegothBunny]

Happy to be expressive and to see my favorite couple!

[@Ceaugo]

Thats it! im gonna lock myself in my local homegoods and i'm NOT LEAVING until i see Voltaire

[@kyran._xx]

I love to see Mayumi in your videos Voltaire! Your fiancée is charming, cheerful, and beautiful and she must be a joy to be around ☺️🖤

[@ScreamingSkull13]

My favorite spooky decor this year has been the Halloween boxes at Joann fabrics, they really help with getting rid of clutter

[@Tuilelen]

Agree, the white gothic aesthetic is really interesting and eye-catching. I'd love to see a whole room/home with that aesthetic, to see how people style it. It's not the kind of aesthetic I would like to constantly live in, but I still like it so much and love to look at it.

[@Dont_Tell_Anyone_Its_Me]

20:08 I'm sure Voltaire picking up the "Bat sponge" while the music plays "Raised by bats" isn't a coincidence 😂

[@rachelofblueridge2593]

The vision video I love cats cameo was the perfect pun.

[@TrinaJulianEdwards]

Y'all always crack me up! I definitely need to go on the hunt for that blanket!

[@FreshDeath1385]

Voltaire you help sooth my crippling anxiety so freaking much 🖤❣️ Been a hell of a day. You're beyond appreciated...Thank you sir 🎩 Love you Both!!

[@pennydreadfull]

Love your book! Accidentally bought two, so will be gifting one to someone!🖤🖤💜🖤🖤

[@motionlesskilljoy]

Hello, Aurelio and Mayumi! It is so wonderful to see that you are doing well. My name is Marla and I am a massive fan of your work and have always looked forward to watching your content during the Spooky Holiday Season and I know that my time has finally arrived! Thank you so much for sharing so much of your artistic brilliance and so many of your beautiful adventures and memories with all of us as your fans. You are both such exceptional artists and amazing human beings and I feel very privileged to have the chance to see you thrive and continuing to share such wonderful home decor tips with all of us. A few months ago, I had the amazing honor of meeting Mayumi as I was one of the students who was enrolled in a photography masterclass in which she had participated as well. She was so deeply kind to me and answered all of my questions regarding the profession with such enthusiasm and interest and I had such a wonderful time discussing my musical and visual influences with her, as well. It was such an extraordinary experience that I will always treasure. Furthermore, I would also truly love to collaborate with the both of you someday as have been planning to start my own KZbin channel discussing my experiences in the Gothic and Metal subcultures and sharing my artistic findings, knowledge and love for the macabre with others, as the both of you have completely inspired me to do the same! To Mr. Voltaire, your book is absolutely fantastic! I cannot wait to implement your invaluable tips and tricks in my own home decor projects as well. Thank you so much for being such special and authentic artists. Please have a wonderful day and never stop creating.

[@cougarrain]

✨️🖤L O V E it, y'all make me laugh everytime 🎃🌻

[@thesleeplessspook]

If you two don't put both bats and cats on your wedding cake, I can't even......

[@renanice8486]

Best time watching gothic home making chilling at home while it’s cloudy and raining 😊

[@babyphenixlothrop8963]

I'd use that cemetery gates tray for presenting/serving cake, a platter for sandwiches, or anything like that. I might just have to go hunt one down!

[@FrenchToastedSouls]

They're really good for corralling candles. My friend has a handful of different sizes candles spread on hers

[@mayamartich9866]

I'm jealous of all the amazing items you got:) I wish we have more stores with Haloween items in my country.

[@nobunnyhere]

15:59 This would be really great to use as a base for a haunted gingerbread house! Could even put a cake in it but you would probably want to put down a black wax sheet so you don't scratch up the metal if you use a cake server.

[@SargeWolf010]

Yeah part 2 9:19 😮ooooo Them Decorative/Decorated Bottles would go really well in my Halloween Mad Scientist/Body Shop I'm working on building 😂

[@SargeWolf010]

12:33 last I looked y'all were sold out of em 😥 and dont get wrong I like yours but I think the colorful ones look more at place in a Gothic children's play area 16:01 🤔 Gothic Chess? Gothic Tic tac toe [Bats/Cats/skulls/pumpkins/idk pieces?] 🤷‍♂️ honestly thinking out side the container here rofl

[@SerenityVonSavage]

Ahhh. Great video!!! I wish we had more spooky shopping available in the UK. Lovely to see Mayumi finding her flow in these skits. She's adorable. Rubbing your face on things to see if you like it is absolutely a valid method of evaluation.

[@spookygeek9459]

Brilliant love to see all the spooky stuff 🧟‍♂️🧛🏻‍♂️

[@brandimr23]

I adore these videos. The dad puns are the best!!

[@elizabethlynch6544]

The silicone molds could also make chocolate for Mayumi.

[@mayamartich9866]

Yes, with a bit of black food colloring:) and some strawberry jam. I would use them to make many plaster/gypsum thumbstones to paint afterwards. Love them!

[@katbunniekat1962]

Funny as always! Love that you're back! I've missed these shows!

[@NinjaNakashima]

I need that mummy cat statue. Too cute. I just started redecorating my living room since the Halloween CD had a flyer for your book. Went halloween shopping in the few local stores. My favorite items were Michael's "'Til we are ghosts darling" wall hanging, and this cloche jar doll that screams and whispers that I found at Lowe's (can't wait to use the sensor feature to freak out my father-in-law). The silliest thing I bought though was the skeleton racoon found at Michael's that still had a fur tail. He's going to look adorable with a little santa hat come winter. I'm planning on giving all of my skeleton friends little hats so my husband can't put them away after Halloween like he did last year.

[@tempestates13]

I found a vintage style black cat wearing a witch hat from Walmart years ago.

[@3katfox]

Lol it took me way too long to realize you were singing "I love cats" 😂

[@twylap8525]

I love the book it's so pretty and feels nice and everything!

[@13_Bill_13]

The best ending! It was awesome!

[@pepper2332]

I'm not gothic, but your videos make me feel better about making my home, my own. 🎉

[@TonBunBon]

AHHHH IM SO EXCITED I LOVE YOU GUYS! 🖤🖤

[@bluvenn9610]

16:00 I'd genuinely use that as a small herb garden! Personally I'm not very about the true gothic aesthethic in my place of dwelling but I am a big fan of the macabre, more subtle touches among the bones and plants and such- I basically have a witch's house, think baba yaga but a bit more whimsygoth. I think that could be *adorable* for a herb garden, with small graveyard themed seperators for each plant, naturally. Amazing video as always!!

[@Imperfecthomemaking]

Love the mirror bottles you found. Can’t wait to see how you use them in your home!

[@samuelmelendez7566]

Glad to see the part 2 of this amazing series

[@nevermoreexplorers]

My entire display this year is Vampire 🧛‍♀️ themed!

[@msangthrope5396]

Your gothic homemaking episodes feel like I have a personal shopper. I always look forward to your channel for the latest Halloween finds.

[@KiaBlocker-ig3ws]

I'M THINKING GOING TO BUY THE NEW GOTHIC BOOK TO DESIGN MY OWN ART STYLE FOR MY NEW HOUSE SOMEDAY.

[@charlesstewart6191]

Tray w/ fencing around it, Mini graveyard scenes, filled with grave stones and creepy moss.

[@ChroniclesofOctober]

So happy you're both back!!💜🖤 I was looking out for those Halloween Cakes.. alas never found them..😔Great finds!!👏🏼😊

[@Katie-sq3mw]

New subscriber here! 👻I’m so happy you showed up in my feed! Thanks for the awesome video! I absolutely love your personalities, and together you both shine!! I’m looking forward to watching your other videos and will definitely be buying your book. I’m not a year round goth girl, but I love the style so much and admire anyone who commits to it year round. And you guys do it so well… Masters of the Macabre! Frighteningly fabulous, Gorgeous Goths!! ☠🎃🕸 🖤

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Welcome aboard!

[@nina-kitty6573]

Woaw that skull thingies, the lady found, its classic..But I can understand the practical to use stuff all year allround.. I must say, I drowling every time you guys go for shopping , becourse here in Finland its not even half things you have there, sadly.. for us living like goth all time.. A big thank you both, for insperation for my home..💜🖤🕸️🐈‍⬛🍂🐦‍⬛🦉 Funny thing, I just hanging same kinda lace curtains today, when you just talkt about it..😊

[@kathrinrodriguez6133]

You wanted to know what to do with the black cemetery tray, I have a white and silver thing like it and I purchased a shelf bracket and turned it into a shelf to hold things I don't want to fall off and break like glass bottles. I had a photo, but don't know how to paste it 😢 Always love your content. Belated congrats to the engagement 💍 👏🏻 🎉

[@MGaddis-kb3gv]

I would use those trays for candles, a plant or two and candy 🍬 for company or snacks or anything else.

[@jesternario]

That square fence tray screamed sand garden. A cemetery sand garden.

[@NinjaTerd473]

I felt like I waited a month for this, the anticipation was killing me! You've replaced most of the TV shows in my life. Thrilled with this episode. Can't wait to see you at Lovedrafts!

[@kingchaos3811]

The live stream was so fun!! I'm glad I was able to see it !! :D

[@tracy_222]

You picked up some great items👍🏻🪦💀

[@Alice_Addams13]

You two are so adorable ❤

[@penteller7636]

I gotta agree with Voltaire on the bat sponge, the cat sponges seem like they'd leave glitter on your dishes. Plus, the bat one perches ontop of your faucet.

[@ziapaige5751]

Noooooo!! I have the spiderweb rug. I got it last year. I NEED another! I searched and searched. Mercari sellers are WILD with the pricing! And I thought my Dad was the only one who said," It's good to be the King!" except for Mel of course 😉

[@colorcrayon54]

So much fun shopping w/ the two of you; I love your taste! I ordered & just received my Gothic Life from Amazon! I haven’t had a chance to read, only skim today but I love that soft, smooth, suede type cover you chose. It makes you want to hold & caress your book all day! And the cover art is perfect! So glad you mentioned it in your videos! ❤️

[@airshipswashbuckler6420]

I love you guys! 😂😊

[@Karafmoon]

7:56 you guys are not only a GOREgeous and FANGtastic couple, but you're adorable too! Haha 😂🖤 I'm so glad you met and your souls recognized each other. I can feel your pure and powerful love even through the screen. It's truly beautiful and inspiring. "In my book, she's the loveliest of them all" so sweet! 😊 and Mayumi with the flowers, Ah! I can totally relate! 🪻🥀🍂⚘️ Your queen has great taste.

[@MoonlitAngelCosplay]

So far, my favorite home decor pieces I've picked up are my new wax warmers: one in the shape of a coffin and the other a Beetle Juice jar. And the fall scented wax melts are to die for!!

[@marlompl]

I'm watching you from Poland, so I think you might be more recognizable than you think 😉. Warm regards.

[@swithunart]

Legit just went on my lunch break for this, so excited 🦇

[@cardd1133]

Everyone loves a functional sponge, especially when you don’t bat your eyes when asked to do the dishes. Mayumi let him win this one. Meow!

[@arjalindman1939]

I immediately see that there are black candles of different sizes and orange or purple decorative pumpkins on the tray. 💜🧡🖤

[@NekoAiray]

Hey Mayumi has the right idea to test blankets! You hands tend to be more calloused and sensations like itching are dulled, so on your cheek is the way to go to see if you´re gonna end up with an itchy blanket.

[@mayumi_toyoda]

😉

[@twobrokeguyz1214]

That resin house is very cool. I think another reason you like it, is because you need a house like that. I could so see you living in the Stephen King house.

[@ladycreepshow]

I love the cat vs bat argument at the end.. I have both. Sorry Voltaire, I'm team Cat. Cleans so much freaking better. The Bat is cute though and I have it hanging from my faucet watching as the cat makes me do happy cleaning dances. Been using the cat ones for years now and always have to buy more!

[@lisepaisley7961]

Make a grave yard with the square metal tray ⚰🪦 Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@MD-co4lu]

your videos have been an incredible inspiration and source of joy over the years for me! i greatly admire not only your aesthetic but your confidence and energy to embrace what you love and who you are. i've been a fan for years and you've actually inspired me to take some time today to acquire some gothic dinnerware from a not-so local HomeGoods thanks to your last video! i'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of your book to delve further into gothic homemaking this autumn season!

[@fgwaller]

We have been in that JoAnnes about a 100 times at least. We were living just 4 Turns ftom there.

[@williamkidney6031]

Nothing like a good Voltaire video to kick off the season. Everything dark and Halloween at Michaels is now 40 to 50 percent off.

[@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf]

Dang, I didn't see that huge skeleton plush at my local Marshall's! XD I found a plushy Frankenstein's monster instead at Homegoods.

[@twylap8525]

Goth dad did make the song about cats, lol. But I am also partial to the bats!

[@tempestates13]

I tell people I wanna be the scary neighborhood witch with an army of black cats. Right now I only have one.

[@janetlieb2507]

❤Happy to discover you❤❤

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Welcome aboard!!!!

[@brittanymiller3865]

In the metal tray, you can use that for a table centerpiece, but I would use it to hold all my perfume or toiletries in a bathroom space! Love the video!

[@Litafaerie]

I was so psyched to find the Poison measuring cups from Joanns. That is one of my fav functions items of this year.

[@exinilda]

That’s definitely going to leave a mark! Poor Orville! 🦇🦇🦇 great video! Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@chelseamendoza7257]

I just love the two of you. Ya'll give me hope.

[@geekysinginggamer8042]

I loved seeing you in Portland! It was so nice to meet you after 23 years! I love that you're back, and I hope you have a wonderful halloween!

[@themoonflowerfaerie]

I love many of the things you found & was thinking I would have gotten them also. Especially the bottles with the bats in them. Thank you for taking us along with you. I enjoy seeing what’s out there since I live 2-3 hours from any decent store to shop for spooky decor. Love seeing you both. Maybe in the future Mayumi would consider letting us see her outfits in each episode. I love to see what she is wearing as you sit and talk but it’s hard to get a full view. You know how women are, always want to see what everyone is wearing 😊💜🦇

[@stonejudas]

I had to smile during the argument when you started singing Vision Video. :)

[@paintinggirl1999]

I wonder if he had a chance to check out Michael's halfway to Halloween line

[@elysamoulding7690]

Just got my copy of "Gothic Life" and it is so great. I am going to go buy bunch of battery candles today, Inpired!

[@lah67]

thank you so much for telling us the materials things are made from. i have to do my shopping online, so that's great to know before i buy.

[@margarethall1625]

I have to agree with Mayumi about the cat sponges. Bats are okay but those cute awwdorable cats are the best.
