How to Make an ApotheScary Cabinet - Gothic Homemaking Presents

[@Twilight.Knight]

I just realized.....he acts kinda like a gothic kids craft show but for teens & adults & i love it

[@allyb3510]

Hes like that cool goth dad that wants to teach all his gothy kids how to adult as cool gothy people

[@Twilight.Knight]

@@allyb3510 oh definitely 😂

[@rookmurphy6803]

Like a Gothic Mr Rogers

[@Twilight.Knight]

@@rookmurphy6803 😲💥 mind blown dude you couldn't be l any more right

[@marissarichardson3150]

mr rogers but if he lived on the same block as the addams family and the munsters lol

[@tsrhodes7321]

I love the kindness "It's okay to fail." Also the little talk about the ethics of X-rays. Goths can be so wholesome!

[@SaraMonsterOfficial]

An excellent job! Such attention to detail! Plus, what a great message, “Failure is not the enemy!” Love it. Bravo, yet again! 🖤🖤🖤💀

[@hilarysell66]

Yes Sara monster I miss you

[@SaraMonsterOfficial]

R O N N I E Actually, I’m just putting the final touches on some things as we speak! You’ll be seeing me verrry soon! 🥰🖤😘

[@SaraMonsterOfficial]

Hilary Sell Aww, thank you, Hilary! 🥺🥰 It won’t be long now til I’m back🖤😘

[@KemoneArmstrong]

Yay, I've missed your videos

[@SaraMonsterOfficial]

Kemone Armstrong 🥰🖤 thank you, sweetheart! I’ve missed making them and getting to chat with you guys!

[@SunsakiMemoir]

Good thing I still have my x-rays from childhood. I knew they were needed for something important

[@sewvintagebysunraedoll]

This is such a cool DIY project, swooning over those spider web stained glass pieces.

[@RaichuWizDom]

In these troubling times, even for someone who doesn't do craft yet or gothic (leaning more towards fantasy and magepunk myself... still figuring out how exactly) these guides and tutorials are a godssend. It's got the relaxing and wholesome elements of a Bob Ross video mixed with the fun and weirdness you'd find on the Addams Family.

[@jacquig1939]

Maybe start with earth tones like brown more than black. Not sure what patterns would go.

[@sabrinamarquez1870]

I've never heard of the term MagePunk before, but I love it.

[@RaichuWizDom]

@@sabrinamarquez1870 I'm not even sure I'm using the term right, actually. Basically the magic-inspired elements of a fantasy setting without it looking old and tribal. @Jacqui G I've mostly been contemplating what sort of paintings or posters I might include, maybe a dragon statue here or there or ornamental dagger. But yeah, patterns on the walls? Something vaguely glyph-like, perhaps? Definitely nothing with runes, though; too blocky for me. I've heard jokingly that art nouveau is elvish and art deco is dwarvish, maybe that's something I can look into. But that's all for after the lockdown, moving out, seeing what I have to work with.

[@maggiefry7304]

OMG! Voltaire is the perfect Gothic Bob Ross!

[@JariDawnchild]

@@RaichuWizDom Now I'm hoping you'll eventually start your own show similar to this, you've got me interested lol. Maybe Sindarin? Depending on how nerdy you want to go with it, you could write what you want where, translate it, and use that?

[@NervousNecromancer]

You're such a wholesome person. I love this so much

[@3katfox]

I'm a simple person I see a Voltaire notification I click

[@tempestates13]

I got excited when the notification popped up for a new episode.

[@Lynzae]

What's really awesome is that at Michaels Crafts this year, they have x-ray crafting paper. It's mylar and looks just like real x-rays! I bought 2 packs.

[@LixiaWinter]

The x-ray doors is a nice touch. I love that when closed, they're basically two black mirrors

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀 Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge that Voltaire is the Martha Stewart of the Macabre Home Makeover. 💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀

[@coiler_119]

That looks gorgeous! I love how the x-rays are placed in such a way that they hide what's inside

[@spooplegeist]

Heh, ironic.

[@audrey3688]

This is great. I really enjoy your creative ideas. Thank you.

[@AliceBluegothBunny]

Making mistakes is the best medicine i can't lie but nicely done with the cabinet now it looks beautiful!

[@exinilda]

Love your creativity! Thank you for all the details! ❤️

[@eternalmiasma5586]

[@Chrisdead27]

That is really one amazing project. That is something, I would definitely buy for the right price. Thanks Voltaire.

[@CommentGirl12]

"Mistakes are not the end, but the beginning." Thanks, Goth Dad

[@ananxiousgoblin9433]

Love the advice on making mistakes. It forces you to think outside of the coffin.

[@Kimikikat]

Love the attention to detail with the skulls and the webbing. Everything about this cabinet is beautiful! 💀👍

[@spooplegeist]

I never go quite as far on the goth look as Voltaire does, but I love his techniques for attaining certain effects. Slight alterations make them perfect for my personal aesthetic. Plus we get an added motivational speech? It’s like being pat on the back by a vampire dad.

[@artmakerforever3510]

"Gothic shabby chic" 💝 absolutely beautiful.

[@TheGlamourGhoul]

Anyone else deeply delighted that this is 13 minutes and thirty one seconds long?? XD

[@deezers13]

Thank you for adding the bit about X-rays! It's so important for people to be respectful and not everyone would know this. Thank you, thank you! 🎃💀

[@MrTreeshaman]

just when i thought i couldn't become more enthralled with your work, weather it be your home crafts or music, you drop the "habitual line-stepper". truly S+ tier Darkside Royalty.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Hey Voltaire, throw a couple puck lights lights in it to show off the x- rays!

[@JuJuCrafts]

I love how you do a shout out to all artisans that you buy “Handmade” items from And give their contact information

[@ChibiNeco]

It’s wonderful! That came out amazing! Gloss oil paint is also very durable for a bathroom!

[@TG-th6mv]

I want to make one so bad, this is gorgeous!

[@marianabonilla8478]

It's the first time I watch a gothic homemaking episode but I absolutely loved it! The result was so lovely and also your words always kind uwu

[@MariaFrancesca]

I loved it! The stained glass cobweb was the cherry on the top, so pretty!

[@KillerCaitie]

Absolutely gorgeous work! Also love the messages of respecting the privacy of patients by removing identification information from the x-rays, & to not fear failure.

[@purplejanew]

You sir, are an inspiration and an artisan!! That cabinet is a thing of wonder!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[@junglepitts]

I love love love this. I should create something like this to add my rock crystals and other mementos. Maybe my moms ashes can go in there too. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@PerfectPride]

Gorgeous! The stain glass was the PERFECT touch.

[@CajunRose]

Absolutely elegant and beautiful. We just bought a house that's 120 years old and looks for ideas to make it more our own. This is a fabulous idea. I love creepy-crafty ideas.🖤

[@legendaryfails7529]

My aunt gave me an antique cabinet, something that used to hold her fine china ware and tea sets. I think I know what to do with it now. I really want it for my perfumes and jewelry. Currently, I'm working on an old wooden toy chest she gave me when I was a kid. I'm using pastels to paint the rabbit motifs. The inside will be velvet lined. These tutorials really give me a lot of motivation and inspiration. I'm excited to see this through! Living my crafty goth life.

[@Confetti_Head_Gore]

Ugh I LOVE things that are practical AND stylish 🖤🖤🖤 simply divine Voltaire, bravo!

[@JariDawnchild]

Right. I'm going to see if I can find something similar enough to do up like this or similar once I move.

[@CrimsonSerenity]

My family and I got a Ruku just the other day and boy was it cool to watch Gothic Homemaking on my big TV screen. Made me love the episode even more than I normally do. Well worth it. 🖤🦇🏚🎨🖥🤘🖤

[@jackierocha5096]

I had no idea about the legality of X-Rays, very interesting. Also I still cannot believe the levels of creativity and ingenuity that you have, in honesty pretty jealous of it

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

It's so kickass! Excellent job sir!

[@frogbotbri]

i adore this series on the fact that it shows DIY-ing isn't very difficult by any means and just a little touch of homemade can add a lot to a room (especially in these times)! thank you for always being an amazing creator!

[@allurafette9728]

I love the message that mistakes are how we learn and grow. 🖤

[@lordcyanidescrypt7101]

"Do you have anything positive to contribute?" "Nope." Just a usual day at the Lair of Voltaire

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

Orville is *WAY* to uptight! He needs to find himself a girlfriend because he seriously needs to get laid.

[@ceewood3358]

It's GORGEOUS! i LOVE it when you make stuff!

[@GRMRPR-og8pn]

I like this guy, I think he's a bit under rated tbh, the style is really cool

[@ScarletCandlelight]

The cool part of being disabled you have a few old x-rays that are no longer accurate thanks to my condition getting worse but makes for cool things. Me being deformed and having old injuries and even metal and a pacemaker in my body makes for some cool xrays so I can actually do this with my own xrays

[@anneargo-davies692]

Me too! Finally a good reason for RA, my bones are very gnarly and joints put together with metal plates and lots of screws.

[@ScarletCandlelight]

@@anneargo-davies692 right I guess the upside of disabilities and being macob

[@stariadreamtea]

I'm happy you found an upside to it! edit: I'm also disabled and I find my x-rays sad, but also cool. So I'm really happy that they work for someone.

[@anneargo-davies692]

@@stariadreamtea You have to look, sometimes really, really hard to find an upside. So when you find one, even a weird backward one, you gotta run with it.

[@stariadreamtea]

@@anneargo-davies692 I do find that with a few things. 😃 I have this thing where I look at my past hardship and think 'Well that was bad but most people spread out thier pain. Maybe mine was just jam-packed into the start of my life and soon I'll be due a lot more happiness." And I look at things in ways that give me hope. I can walk, but often I use a wheelchair/cane as I'm too dizzy/fatigued to move much on certian days. When I was fitted for my chair I actually felt happy it could get me outside more than without one. So I was unexpectedly happy about the freedom a chair would bring. I really hope we all find more things that make us happy and turn something sad into something creative. 😃

[@marymeyer4379]

I love it! Through and through! Every time I watch gothic homemaking I'm so inspired to start new projects. And I learned so much so far! Like dry brushing! O goth, I love this technique!🖤

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

I hope one day you come up with a line of Gothic home decor that is sold at all the different Decor stores out there because your designs are just brilliant sorry I missed this when it first came out but wow what a beautiful piece of Home Furnishing. Love Gothic Chic - I came up with Gothic Farmhouse for a craft recently too!

[@nancyware7282]

"Failure is always an option. " - Adam Savage Mythbusters. I like that your turned failure on its ear and pulled a successful project out. I love that you share the 'failures' with us. This, IMHO is a project that pretty much anyone can do. Simple tools, basic supplies, and you don't need special skills or a lot of money to do this. Except tutorial. 🕸🕷🕸

[@ninjapiratess]

I meant to say how awesome this turned out! I love it! Totally a project I would want to do. I love that you support small artists and feature their shops.

[@melissamcconnell9667]

My Kid and I found that exact same cabinet during curbside days here! It's now down in their bathroom, just cleaned up. I have the feeling when I show them this it will get a redo, though. :)

[@adamolupin]

I still have my x-rays from when I broke my ankle when I was 17 and I have a hutch I've been meaning to spookify. Thank you SO much for the great ideas!

[@thornmallow1]

Aaaaaaah! Yes!! I have one of Mr. Blue’s pieces!! I am so grateful that you mentioned the morals behind art! Thank you so much! That cabinet looks like the poison cabinet that I made a few years ago. It holds my mini liquor and glitter collections.

[@missnintendofangirl]

god i love the end result! cant wait to make something like this for myself for my own future gothic bathroom! following all of your tips thus far of course 🖤 keep up the great work for confused homemaking goths everywhere!! 🥰

[@danifalko8656]

I love how wholesome these are

[@susanjimenez6198]

I think this is my favorite project so far. I do stained glass so I will make the spiderwebs myself.

[@rotten_pupper]

the people who disliked this video were probably sleepy, fell asleep and hit the dislike button on accident that's the only possible explanation congratulations on your tutorials, they're awesome!

[@learn_more_3329]

I freaking love it!!! That stained glass spider webs, make me swoon!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Kelouisa]

I am so happy this exists. I stopped by for some music since I have decided Halloween music must start now, but I found dark and disturbing crafts instead. My week is made! Also those stained glass cobwebs are amazing!

[@valumen]

This came just at the right time! I need to turn a cupboard from a well known Swedish shop into something gothic for my craft room, and I had no idea how. Now I do! Also, your way of presenting us your ideas is soooo soothing- it‘s funny, informative, entertaining and I can feel your vides are really made with love. Thank you so much, also for your very encouraging words on failure and what we can make of them. I think I’ll just paint them black. 😉❤️

[@robinorear4307]

You never cease to prove you're not just another pretty face! I want to do all my bathroom cabinetry like this. Thank you for your great channel You are amazing!

[@syntheticsandwich190]

The x-rays were an amazing touch, it really brought the whole piece together. The spider web corner pieces also looked amazing. All in all great work.

[@barbarafisher1963]

What drew my attention to your video was "I have the same white medicine cabinet" for 3yrs now waiting for me to decide how I want to redo it..Walla!!! Thank you very much, what you have created is awesome! Perfect..now mine will hold my herbs & odd curiosities.. Blessed be :)

[@TheeBertMcGirt]

He would step across the line, habitually! He was a habitual line stepper. Finally my two world's have collided 🖤

[@1015SaturdayNight]

I'm so glad you mentioned the issues around using imaging films! I have my own MRI films, which I feel lucky to have. They gave them to me 18 years ago, no questions asked. Now, they only give you a CD. I made mine into a lantern and still have lots of my films left. Anyway yes, when using someone else's films, remember, that's some real person's health data.

[@davidwilcox7]

Voltaire's creativity is inspiring

[@spyrallatoyarobinson3371]

What you said at the end almost made me cry because I really needed to hear that 🖤 And DAMN! that is one gorgeous cabinet 😍

[@MonCherry13]

Incredible!!!! That stained glass 🤩 the whole thing looks amazing ! 🖤💀🖤

[@arawndecimus7337]

You can request a digital copy of your X-rays. Depending on the doctor they can email them or put them on CD. Could then get them printed on some kind of plastic, perhaps like stencils are made from. You could even add your own "anomalies" before printing.

[@LunaRenSelene]

Part of me thinks a small light inside would really make the xrays pop, but overall you did awesome as usual. :)

[@cheryl8466]

I'm OBSESSED with those stained glass spider webs. I am definitely checking out their shop. I absolutely love stuff like that.

[@AnthroFiend]

Yet another awesome idea for how I can spookify my house once I have my own place! I NEVER would have thought to incorporate X-rays, definitely a unique touch!

[@MusiqChildx]

Wow! I am amazed at how amazing this cabinet build is. It looks like it costs 3 times what you paid for. Amazing!

[@stariadreamtea]

✨This one actually made me want to make this in purple. And I love the silver spiderwebs and skulls. I don't want to use X-rays as they look cool on yours, but for me I'd use some delicate or dreamy patterns maybe of swirling stars or maybe something else natural + magical. I looove your wallpaper though and the tab to change the background motif is so ingenious yet simple. Great design, creativity and message about 'failure' being transformed into chance creation. Nature does that too. You really make DIY seem so much more accessible and doable. It's intersting to both watch you and also think about how these concepts could be applied to making one's home more homey.

[@DiamondWinters]

I really like what you did with that cabinet. It turned out amazing!! Also, your voice is incredibly soothing. But the best part, is the reminder that mistakes happen and what we do about it can make all the difference. Thank you so much for the reminder. 💜💜💜

[@jessicaperez365]

Those spider web stained glass pieces really made the whole thing come together, it came out amazing!

[@ElysionGear]

Ugh! That cabinet turned out so lovely. I loved the elegance of the stand glass cobwebs.

[@kohlmeise_]

Wow, with this one you really created a master piece! ♡

[@darbygordon7036]

I may not have a gothic spin to my daily home decor, but this makes my Halloween heart so happy. What a great project!

[@fallennight89]

I was looking at my cabinet this morning thinking I need to upgrade or something to it. I think I found my something ❤️

[@JD-ASL]

This project turned out great! In my opinion, one of your best. I really enjoyed the glass spider webs, they were a great addition.

[@Oznarchy]

This show just gets better and better!

[@memetmihi1229]

I love that this teaches the value of making mistakes 🖤

[@jackiemorrell2298]

I love the addition of the x-ray, I have some of my x-rays from a recent surgery - before and after's and the MRI, now I finally have a use for them - so cool.

[@lance4862]

Looks great as usual Voltaire, thanks for the excellent and entertaining video.

[@columbusmark608]

I'm an X-Ray tech, so I can speak to the validity of making sure that no patient information (like, their name) appears on the x-rays that you would want to use. They fall under the flag of HIPAA laws. But the real problem, in recent years, is this: where can you find old-school x-rays ON FILM, such as was used for this project? Almost every hospital and clinic where I live takes digital x-rays that are uploaded to computers (called PACS systems). Old-school FILM x-rays have gone the way of the 8-track, so they're gonna be hard to find. Kinda like trying to find 35 mm film for a Kodak camera these days. With all that said, this is an absolutely killer project !! Well done ! .

[@Haley_Alexis99]

Amazing! And seeing that snapshot of thumbnail of a previous episode with Ree Phillips broke my heart! I miss her posts terribly!

[@daniels7715]

Wow that's really cool! I would totally put those rechargeable led candels on each shelf and have them go off on timers. Even if just for when company is over. You have the cool x-rays you should show them off. Very cool project !

[@princesspeasant4536]

I’m knew to the channel and I have to say I never imagined you as Gothic Mr. Rodgers when growing up with your music but I am 10000% here for it. This is the content I needed in my life🥰

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Beautiful! You're an excellent teacher as well, the steps are clear and presented at a speed that the average DIYer can absorb. So glad I found your channel!

[@themercurialmoxie]

This guy is what I imagine the love child of Bob Villa and Elvira, to be. I love it. 😊❤ The x-ray doors are fantastic! It would be neat to put a strand of LEDs (maybe?) in the cabinet, so that the X-ray can bee seen all the time.

[@khalingoins8084]

That x-ray idea was genius.

[@mackenzierichard2423]

Voltair, he made my childhood and now he is makeing my home

[@cyberi4a]

Very nice looking and it shows creative vision that most don't see until someone like you shows them.

[@Artsia]

Yay! Yet another inspiring installment!

[@RoseKindred]

So far, this has been the highlight of my month. Great distraction. Loved the video.

[@Mandy_Savage]

The stained glass webs really makes it.
