"Nope."
Just a usual day at the Lair of Voltaire
Orville is *WAY* to uptight! He needs to find himself a girlfriend because he seriously needs to get laid.
Love the attention to detail with the skulls and the webbing. Everything about this cabinet is beautiful! 💀👍
That x-ray idea was genius.
The stained glass webs really makes it.
I was looking at my cabinet this morning thinking I need to upgrade or something to it. I think I found my something ❤️
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.
"Gothic shabby chic" 💝 absolutely beautiful.
I freaking love it!!! That stained glass spider webs, make me swoon!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing! And seeing that snapshot of thumbnail of a previous episode with Ree Phillips broke my heart! I miss her posts terribly!
Beautiful! The backing is super-clever, especially the pull-tab idea!
Incredible!!!! That stained glass 🤩 the whole thing looks amazing ! 🖤💀🖤
I really liked this project. I used it as inspiration for some open metal shelves I scored, and in fact, I have those same skulls from At Home too. I think I was too heavy handed with the silver dry brushing though, so I've gone over the shelves again with a light coat of black spray paint to knock the silver down a little.
Very nice looking and it shows creative vision that most don't see until someone like you shows them.
Always give me ideas voltaire!! Especially for halloween. Not easy for me to go to stores sooo your diy will help. Its beautiful and i found the same lil skulls a couple days ago. Im not as creative but i did my best via ordering floating shelves and peel and stick designs. I totally forgot about yours! I'm done putting up steven archer art pieces and now i can get to work for the holidays. Thank u!
Gothic shabby chic?! I hate shabby chic, or at least I did. I never thought there could be a gothic twist to it. Inspiring.
Voltaire, I'm glad I found your videos again their fun to watch. I have a lot of catching up to do.
At Michael's they have x-ray craft paper booklet, in a few sizes too....
Love this project! Your instructions are perfect! Have you thought of putting flame-less tea lights inside the cabinet? I would be curious to see how that would show off the x-rays
This is totally awesome.
No he visto el video y ya me suscribí. Eras lo que buscaba.
Fantastic once again! It's Beautiful 💯💖
wonderful! It so beautiful!
I sincerelly love your work and your videos!!! You are a great inspiration for me!!!!
Eres muy creativo, Aurelio! Sigue así 🖤

I look forward to seeing more of Your videos. 😊👍🏼👋🏼
Welcome aboard!
Thank You.
Awww I love it 😍😍
I've never gotten my x-rays -- I've had plenty taken but have never taken them home. I wonder if I can get copies from my doctor....
love it!!!
Com certeza eu vou fazer isso na minha casa!
i love goth dad
This is sick came out nice i did something like this with a wardrobe n painted white n blood splatter it n it bloody hand prints all over lol
One of the problems I have with a lot of your projects is how expensive they are. I am forced to do my occult decorations on a budget. I get some ideas from watching your videos, but I'd be a lot more interested to see you create something using scraps. Rather than conceive of an item and them buy parts to make it, I'd like to see you start with ordinary household trash and transform it into something amazing.
I simply don't work that way. The problem with that idea is that in order for others to do the projects, they'd need to have the same scraps you describe.... which is highly unlikely that they would. I try to demonstrate how to make things with materials that anyone can source from local stores or the internet. My expertise simply isn't in turning garbage into gold. That's a show for someone else to make. Sorry.
🦇IMPRESSIVE🦇
Wish my hubby would let me goth the whole house... oh well my cave is gothy
thats a sexy cabinet
If it's not too much trouble could you link the wallpaper you used?

An excellent job! Such attention to detail! Plus, what a great message, “Failure is not the enemy!” Love it. Bravo, yet again! 🖤🖤🖤💀
Yes Sara monster I miss you
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! 🥰🖤😘
Hilary Sell Aww, thank you, Hilary! 🥺🥰 It won’t be long now til I’m back🖤😘
Yay, I've missed your videos
Kemone Armstrong 🥰🖤 thank you, sweetheart! I’ve missed making them and getting to chat with you guys!
I love the kindness "It's okay to fail." Also the little talk about the ethics of X-rays. Goths can be so wholesome!
This is such a cool DIY project, swooning over those spider web stained glass pieces.
I'm a simple person
I see a Voltaire notification
I click
I got excited when the notification popped up for a new episode.
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.
Maybe start with earth tones like brown more than black. Not sure what patterns would go.
I've never heard of the term MagePunk before, but I love it.
@@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.
OMG! Voltaire is the perfect Gothic Bob Ross!
@@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?
You're such a wholesome person. I love this so much
That is really one amazing project. That is something, I would definitely buy for the right price. Thanks Voltaire.
Oh my Goddess... i never thought i'd be amazed and seduced by an apothecary cabinet!! XDDD But of course it had to be a Voltaire's apothecary cabinet ;) Amazing job, as always. Thank you so much for all you share with us.
This is great. I really enjoy your creative ideas. Thank you.
That looks gorgeous! I love how the x-rays are placed in such a way that they hide what's inside
Heh, ironic.
Love your creativity! Thank you for all the details! ❤️
Making mistakes is the best medicine i can't lie but nicely done with the cabinet now it looks beautiful!
Oh hell yeah more gothic homemaking!!!
💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀
Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge that Voltaire is the Martha Stewart of the Macabre Home Makeover.
💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀
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!! 🥰
Hey Voltaire, throw a couple puck lights lights in it to show off the x- rays!
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
Me too! Finally a good reason for RA, my bones are very gnarly and joints put together with metal plates and lots of screws.
@@anneargo-davies692 right I guess the upside of disabilities and being macob
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.
@@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.
@@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. 😃
Ugh I LOVE things that are practical AND stylish 🖤🖤🖤 simply divine Voltaire, bravo!
Right. I'm going to see if I can find something similar enough to do up like this or similar once I move.
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. 😉❤️
I want to make one so bad, this is gorgeous!
The x-ray doors is a nice touch. I love that when closed, they're basically two black mirrors
Yes! First~
Edit: THATS so beautiful... thank you!
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
💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀

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. :)
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!🖤
In the wise words of Yoda...The greatest teacher failure is.
Spiders to match the webs would be a better choice imho.
I though that very thing! But then I considered the skull finials could be a hint as to the surprise inside - when you open up the cabinet doors and see the x-rays.
Either way I love it!
It’s wonderful! That came out amazing! Gloss oil paint is also very durable for a bathroom!
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!
Part of me thinks a small light inside would really make the xrays pop, but overall you did awesome as usual. :)
Apothecary history and in particular that of natural ethical medicine is quite fascinating, given how John D. Rockefeller (1839 - 1937) who was an oil magnate, a robber baron, America’s first billionaire, and a natural-born monopolist helped to censor natural medicine and corner the market to promote the pharmaceutical industry. Basically, by the turn on the 20th century, Rockefeller controlled 90% of all petroleum refineries in the America through ownership of the Standard Oil Corporation (which was later split into Mobil, Chevron, Exxon, etc.) Concurrently, around 1900, the science world was getting excited about new “petrochemicals” and the ability to create a variety of new of compounds from basically ground oil. During this same era (early 1900’s) scientists were doing groundbreaking work to understand the basic mechanics of life and human health. It was during this time that most of the essential vitamins were discovered, including B1, B2, Biotin, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, etc. However, other scientists which sadly soon outnumbered the organic trained scientists cornered that market and were involved in research to recreate artificial versions of these vitamins in a laboratory using said chemicals. Rockefeller saw the chance to control and monopolize multiple industries at once: petroleum, chemical and medical to promote chemical, artificial, and unethical ingredients to be used to create "medicine". For anyone who doubts this, this has been verified by historical evidence and covered in the history book "Rockefeller Medicine Men: Medicine and Capitalism in America" by E. Richard Brown. Sadly, because of Rockefeller's intentional natural medicine censorship and basically smearing the thousands of years worth of information on and the effectiveness of natural ethical medicine - most people are not aware of this. Fortunately, doctors, organic scientists, nurses, etc are coming forward to bring us out of the pharmaceutical drug age and there are some great books on natural apothecary and natural medicine - some of which are "The Herbal Apothecary: 100 Medicinal Herbs and How to Use Them" by JJ Pursell and "Alchemy of Herbs: Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies That Heal" by Rosalee De La Foret. It is especially interesting and humbling when you take into the fact that there were plenty of knowledgeable people into natural medicine who were accused falsely and condemned and murdered for being "cunning folk" or "witches" or "warlocks". Since studying natural medicine in my spare time myself, whenever I get insulted with being called "a witch" - I think back to the natural medicine forebears and shrug it off and smile. RIP to the natural medical doctors! Sorry for being verbose and long-winded, but I was inspired to see Voltaire talk about a subject that is definitely still worth discussing and learning about - apothecaries and natural medicine. :) I hope other goths will come forward to discuss it also - and don't be ashamed of being a "cunning" folk. :)
Never apologize for being eloquent! Your comment is a lovely, well written and researched read. I thoroughly enjoyed it my dear 🖤
Hear, hear! Most people nowadays don't stop to think that our ancestors survived long enough on that natural medicine in far better health on average than we are now, and here we are now medicating ourselves into health conditions that were far less common then. Makes you wonder if a longer lifespan is the trade-off or a natural part of our evolution that would have occurred regardless.
@@terismith2461 I'm glad that I didn't sound too long-winded (though many have oft accused me of such). Sadly, natural medicine has an unfortunate and still often censored reputation by the majority of chemical/pharma based scientists and allopathic promoters. It is especially ironic because, as Mary Fowlie rightly said, many modern pharma "medicines" often cause just as much harm, if not more - so why are natural medicines accused of being 'quackery', especially when its acknowledged that they are not often properly tested due to competition. Also, the usage of toxic artificial ingredients to be used as "medicine" is also not a new phenomenon either. Even in the pre-Industrial ages, people would be split between using natural herbal/fruit/vegetable/fresh milk/honey remedies and the other half would use toxic ingredients which, bizarrely, we haven't learned to stop using toxic and artificial ingredients like quinine, lead, arsenic, mercury, aluminum, etc - even formaldehyde are used in some medicines. At one point within the 1900s, scientists encouraged the usage of radium (yes, you read that right) as both a medicine, makeup, and in food, etc! Most people don't know that either.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 I am so impressed with your knowledge and desire to learn! Your posts are like little documentary articles❣️ I would be one to encourage you to study herbology and homeopathy in ernest! I think you would be a wonderful practitioner.
I suppose we will have to wait a bit longer for the blend of natural medicine and modern medicine. I just don't see it happening while big pharma is still making money hand over fist. Baby steps I suppose.
Blessings for your bright future my dear.
Looks great as usual Voltaire, thanks for the excellent and entertaining video.
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
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! 🎃💀
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!
Zero dislikes, exactly as it should be!!
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. 🖤🦇🏚🎨🖥🤘🖤
You sir, are an inspiration and an artisan!! That cabinet is a thing of wonder!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Wow, with this one you really created a master piece! ♡
Amazing job! I love that very
Much. You do so good craftmaking gothic. 👍👍😊😘🤟🏽🖤🖤💀📱
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!
It's so kickass! Excellent job sir!
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.
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.
I wonder if putting lights in there to make the Xrays very visible from the outside would work? It's very cool either way. Stealing some of these ideas but with a colour scheme change for my for potions cabinet DIY, for sure.
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!
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.
Gorgeous! The stain glass was the PERFECT touch.
I really really like the Apothescary Cabinet. Id love to try making something similar one day^^
Loved it! I'm inspired again, me and my dad are gonna build me a coffin shelf for my books and comics, I saw your coffin wardrobe and wanted one. It wont be as elegant as yours but maybe a bit gothy shabby chic like this one lol and I def wana try the skull thing, and a cool background, sticker. Maybe a skeleton if I can find one, but anyway tnx for the inspo!
