Wow, thanks so much for the nice commment Jen Falker!! I really appreciate it!! Still working on my apartment. One of this days I will post a video of my entire apartment including closet, kitchen, bathroom. Thanks again!
Stalking Sorrow Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it! I will make sure to get better lighting when I do an update tour of my apartment to show the details!!
Elligons Thanks so much, and for the awesome compliment! My place looks a little different now, will try to do another walkthrough with better lighting at some point.
Your apartment looks pretty cool :) Looks like you've got lots of nice candle-sticks and candelabras, and a nice couch/chaise. The lighting's a bit dark to really appreciate the details on things like some of the more ornate candle-sticks and the furniture though. Your huge E.A. Poe painting is awesome :3
+DomesticatedGoth Thank you very much DomesticGoth!! Yeah, the lighting is kind of dim in this video. I think I'm finally done with my decorating my apartment, just looking to ad another painting in my little kitchen hall, but still thinking what to get because I have like three people in mind, and I hope my friend that did the Poe painting can do it too! Thanks again for the feedback!!
***** Thanks so much Counted Shadows!! Yeah, sorry for the lighting. This was the beginning and I have since modified the place by adding new stuff and taking away some of it and rearranging. I will try to do another video with a little more natural lighting. Thanks for the feedback :-)
OctoberRainRocks Thanks so much for checking my place out OctoberRain!! This video was taken when I was still trying to figure out my place. Since then I have made some little changes here and there and I had promised a few people I would do a complete tour of my tiny apartment as this video only shows the living room. I appreciate the love OctobeRain, thanks again very much!!!
Diana Robles Thanks so much Diana Robles!! I have updated my apartment. This was when I was trying to put it together. I think I will do another video to show my entire apartment including closet. Thanks again and happy 2015!
Star Sloth Hope I don’t disappoint, thanks again!!! Currently going crazy trying to decorate for Halloween and there are some items that I still want to get for my apartment as permanent decoration, so hopefully beginning of next year when all the craziness of holiday decorating has calmed down. 🎃
@@RavenPoe-bz7qx That's a great idea plus you can find stuff on the cheap around then, too. I gotta Halloween pillow from a pharmacy for less than a dollar I think
Star Sloth a pillow for less than a dollar is a great deal, since Halloween pillows normally go for like $10 and up, even at 99 cents only store. I also like looking in OfferUp for less expensive things.
Thanks so much BeverLuna!! I really appreciate it! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy the darker side of home decor and Gothic homes! Happy decorating!!! :-)
Bravo sir! A lot of people say that men do not have a sense of style, I beg to differ. Especially when it comes to goths. Goth guys have have the best sense of beauty and aesthetics. You have a beautiful living space.
Derek D Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! This was the beginning, and right now my place looks a lot different, and I kept adding more things. Sometimes I think I should have kept it at a minimum like in this video, but I still like it now as well as back hen. Maybe one day I will do an update video once I have added something that’s currently missing now. Thanks so much again!!
Nateacee Tei'na I’ve been trying to do a follow up video, but I am really trying to put this one part of it together before I can do that. My place looks so much different than this now. Now that I look back at this video, maybe less was better, but oh well. Hope to do another follow-up video! Thanks for the input!
raven wolf Thank you so much! This was when I initially moved in, but now my apartment looks much different, it’s looking a bit cluttered, maybe I should have kept it at a minimum like in this video. Thanks so much though!
I'm so envious of your seating. It's so handsome. I really like most of your decor choices. I understand that you are maintaining an aura with the lighting but perhaps details in the decorations would be better appreciated for the viewers of this video if you had happened to draw open the curtains?
Thanks so much Mrs. Quiroz, I really appreciate it! Sounds like we have the same taste! This was the beginning, and as I you know it's always a work in progress until you get it right, and then after a while you just try to change things around every now and then. So, I do plan to put an update of what I've done so far, and will make it a point to have better lighting as others have requested as well! Thanks for the input and keep enjoying decorating your sanctuary!! :-)
Your place is my favorite gothic room I've seen so far in videos :) I love the shiny dark furniture and that sculpture over your door! May I ask how do you achieve that yellow-red gradient color on your lights?
Oh and, have you seen the video "Mannequin" (yeah like my username) from Cradle of Filth? it's about Edgar Allan Poe, they show a puppet/doll that looks like him
Aaah, thanks so much Manequinxxx!!! Thanks very much, I really appreciate it! I was going to paint my walls, but I'm glad I left them white because that allowed me to furnish my apartment with dark furniture that stands out!! About the yellow-red gradient lighting, at that time, I had a red light bulb in the floor lamp, with some flickering amber light bulbs, plus the amber/yellowish candles on the floor candelabrum, together with the chandelier that has bulbs that give off a slightly amber/yellow-like glow that have four red shades on them, and that's how I achieve that lighting color. Thanks again and happy decorating!!!!!!
mannequinxxx I just checked out the Cradle of Filth video of Mannquin, that was so cool and the Poe doll they use is really eerie looking. Great song and great Poe-inspired video!!! Is that where you get your name from?
My apartment was pretty dark at that time, that’s why the lighting in this video isn’t too bright. Unfortunately I don’t live there any,ore ☹️ I apologize for that.
n3rahil Thank you so much for the compliment, I really appreciate it! I think what gives it that vibe too is that I didn’t have a lot of stuff in my apartment at that time, which was my original goal, was to keep it simple, but throughout the years I started accumulating stuff. Thanks again!
mydejavooo1 Yes, okay so I use not so strong wattages on the ceiling lamp, and put red lamp shades over the bulbs. Whatever the shades don't cover creates an amber glow on he floor area. And to enhance the red look, I use a red bob on the floor lamp with no shades. This works best in smaller rooms vs in a big living room in a bigger apartment, and since mine a small studio, it works perfectly. Hope that helps :-)
+jecsebel perez Jecsebel, muchas gracias por el comentario y por gustar!! Siempre trato de no poner tanto para que no se mire tan abarrotado! Espero que estes pasando un año fantástico!!! :-)
Claude-Wayne Cossin Thanks! Maybe I will try to do another video with better lighting. My place looks a lot different today than before though. I think I am starting to like how my place used to look in this video, it was more simple.
I love your place, it's stunning & quite romantic looking. where one earth did you find all of those gorgeously gothic candle holders?! i'm constantly stalking thrift shops & flea markets for those items. it's a beautiful place you have there. very nice.
Thanks so much Natalie Woods!! I look everywhere, e-bay, yard sales, thrift stores, and regular online stores that have sales once in a while like Design Toscano. Etsy is also good and can strike a good deals sometimes; it's a little bit like ebay, except you are not bidding, but buying. Keep looking, I know it takes time, but it's kind of fun also!! Churches sometimes sell their candle holders on Sundays after mass. E-bay is really good, but you have to be really patient and try to get the good deals and try not to pay so much, because someone else is always going to sell for less, always compare prices and do reasearch; type in Gothic sconce, Gothic candle holders/candelabra when searching e-bay. It takes time to put it together. This was a test and I will be putting another video of my entire place including kitchen and bathroom. Thanks for watching and for liking :-)
i love the beautiful feel you have created for your home it got a creepy kind feel but also i kind romantic feel to, i think you just create something so beautiful i wish i could do the same
Thanks so much Gothic Leeman, I really appreciate it!! It is taking me a while to get my apartment to look like the way i really want it to look like. And yes you too can make your place look gothic and haunting, just take your time and dont settle for just anything that doesn't feel quite right! Happy decorating and i will try to do a more up to date video. Thanks so much again for the nice comment!
SunnysFilms Thanks very much!! Yes, the creature next to the television is a cat with bat wings. My place looks so much different now though, I might do an update.
I absolutely love this room! I love the goth style and would love to have a house with this look. Though my outward appearance may not look it (much to my dismay....its very hard finding affordable quality goth clothes in "plus" sizes) I am in love with the style. My bedroom furniture is black but it just doesn't get the look I desire :(
+Scarlett Thompson Thanks so much Scarlett!! Well, it may take some trial and error until you get it just right, or until it just fits the way you want it to look. I have changed my place ever since this video, I moved some stuff around. I hope you have fun with it and I hope you find cool goth clothes. I have the same problem due to my height, I'm not the tallest person, ha ha... Thanks again!!
Thanks very much! It took a while, I would just pick up a piece here and there, some were from eBay and some from vintage stores or regular furniture stores and online stores as well.
Diana Robles Yeah, that's true. Well, this apartment it's pretty old. So far the gap has not bothered me, but maybe one day it will eventually get to me and I will have to let the landlady know.
Tøxicwondërland † Thanks Toxicwonderland! Well, here's the link to the music in the video ua-cam.com/video/r3vBelF0Xww/v-deo.html The music is by youtuber technoAXE, check out his page, he has a lot of great music you can use for your own purposes :-)
Rickon Nye Thanks very much! My place looks so much different now and if I ever do another room tour, will make sure to try to use more lighting. My place is naturally and intentionally dark with not a lot of lighting.
Satan Ha ha! Well, thanks so much for the awesome compliment, it’s a work in progress and looks a little different now as I have added and removed stuff.
Although "Gothic" was a era, please don't look up to the first youtuber you mentioned. Her place is not gothic, it is just a bunch of cheap crap plastered all over. Tacky dollar store and cheesy halloween shit. Gothic is beautiful, expensive and sophisticated. You have a nice place. Keep doing what you are doing using your own style, not following tacky wannabees. Great job!
Well, thanks very much for liking my place and for the encouragement. It really does take time and effort to try to get an apartment to look a certain way; even though my apartments is very small, it still takes effort. Thanks again and have an awesome weekend!
Thanks so much Vicky Victoria! You are right, it's fun to decorate especially when one is behind all the decorating and making it one's own, it makes a home more enjoyable to come home to!!! Happy decorating!
This is literally breathtaking!!!! Stunning! Inspiring! wow!
Wow, thanks so much for the nice commment Jen Falker!! I really appreciate it!! Still working on my apartment. One of this days I will post a video of my entire apartment including closet, kitchen, bathroom. Thanks again!
you have some beautiful pieces! thankyou for sharing!!!🖤
You’re welcome! Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏
Very cozy Gothic rules
+James mullin sr Thanks very much James Mullin, I really appreciate it!! Happy 2016! :-)
Sounds nice, I bet you did a great job! Maybe you can share it with us on youtube!!!
This is great inspiration for my own apartment but I do suggest better lighting so that one can see the finer details of all your spooky pieces.
Stalking Sorrow Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it! I will make sure to get better lighting when I do an update tour of my apartment to show the details!!
I just wish this was filmed with a light so we could see the elegant furniture better. I think this is the best gothic home video on youtube.

dolls are interesting. i like the flickering lamp - very cool!

Thanks so much for the tour of your "little castle"... :) So beautiful!
Even with all the darkness the room doesn't feel claustrophobic
Well done!
Star Sloth Thanks so much for he compliment. My place looks so much different than this now, maybe I will do another video in the future.
@@RavenPoe-bz7qx Yes! Update us!! I wanna see just how you managed to improve upon perfection.
