I just realized.....he acts kinda like a gothic kids craft show but for teens & adults & i love it
Hes like that cool goth dad that wants to teach all his gothy kids how to adult as cool gothy people
@@allyb3510 oh definitely 😂
Like a Gothic Mr Rogers
@@rookmurphy6803 😲💥 mind blown dude you couldn't be l any more right
mr rogers but if he lived on the same block as the addams family and the munsters lol
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.
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!
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
"Do you have anything positive to contribute?"
"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.
The x-ray doors is a nice touch. I love that when closed, they're basically two black mirrors
I'm a simple person
I see a Voltaire notification
I click
I got excited when the notification popped up for a new episode.
That looks gorgeous! I love how the x-rays are placed in such a way that they hide what's inside
Heh, ironic.
"Mistakes are not the end, but the beginning." Thanks, Goth Dad
Making mistakes is the best medicine i can't lie but nicely done with the cabinet now it looks beautiful!
That is really one amazing project. That is something, I would definitely buy for the right price. Thanks Voltaire.
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. 😃
Love the attention to detail with the skulls and the webbing. Everything about this cabinet is 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.

I love how we got a little side bar into HIPAA and medical ethics. 10/10.
This is great. I really enjoy your creative ideas. Thank you.
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! 🎃💀
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.
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. :)
Love your creativity! Thank you for all the details! ❤️
The only flaw with these videos is that nine times out of ten I'm at work when they go live and I'm unable to enjoy them right away.
Seriously.
Anyone else deeply delighted that this is 13 minutes and thirty one seconds long?? XD
This guy is living every goths dream
I think this is my favorite project so far. I do stained glass so I will make the spiderwebs myself.
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!
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 !
.
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
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.
Good thing I still have my x-rays from childhood. I knew they were needed for something important
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!
Part of me thinks a small light inside would really make the xrays pop, but overall you did awesome as usual. :)
I want to make one so bad, this is gorgeous!
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.

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. 🕸🕷🕸
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.
He would step across the line, habitually! He was a habitual line stepper.
Finally my two world's have collided 🖤
In the wise words of Yoda...The greatest teacher failure is.
That x-ray idea was genius.
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!
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!! 🥰
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 like this guy, I think he's a bit under rated tbh, the style is really cool
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.🖤

Gorgeous! The stain glass was the PERFECT touch.
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.
Love the advice on making mistakes. It forces you to think outside of the coffin.
It’s wonderful! That came out amazing! Gloss oil paint is also very durable for a bathroom!
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!
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.
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.
I love how you do a shout out to all artisans that you buy “Handmade” items from And give their contact information
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
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.
Looks great as usual Voltaire, thanks for the excellent and entertaining video.
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!🖤
no spiders were harmed in the making of this video
Kitchen...kitchen...kitchen....can't wait for you to finish and we get the full Lair Tour at long last!
On one hand, we have my mom's old x-rays from when they almost fixed her hip...
On the other, she'd probably haunt my [UNDEAD SCREECH] even harder. Hm, tough decision.
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!
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. 🖤🦇🏚🎨🖥🤘🖤
I loved it! The stained glass cobweb was the cherry on the top, so pretty!
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.
The stained glass webs really makes it.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
I'M THINKING GOING TO MAKE IT FOR MY BATHROOM MAKEOVER IDEAS.
Zero dislikes, exactly as it should be!!
What you said at the end almost made me cry because I really needed to hear that 🖤 And DAMN! that is one gorgeous cabinet 😍
Another set of the glass spider webs would have looked amazing on the top of the cabinet.
I'm OBSESSED with those stained glass spider webs. I am definitely checking out their shop. I absolutely love stuff like that.
I love the message that mistakes are how we learn and grow. 🖤
Thank you for addressing HIPPA. A lot of people don’t know about that. Good on ya!
I think it can be even better if you replace the door glass with a fake mirror (like those in interrogation rooms). light would still pass through it to reveal the radiograph, but it would also be useful as a mirror.
I was looking at my cabinet this morning thinking I need to upgrade or something to it. I think I found my something ❤️
Voltair, he made my childhood and now he is makeing my home
I freaking love it!!! That stained glass spider webs, make me swoon!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Perfect to store all my herbs and spices
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!
A good alternative to using X-rays- you can always use print-on acetate and print scans of X-rays onto it!
Many hospitals don’t use physical copies anymore and do them all digitally, so it can be hard to find them now unfortunately
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!
I love it! It would be amazing if you put some purple led lights in it so you can see the X-rays when it’s closed
Wow! I am amazed at how amazing this cabinet build is. It looks like it costs 3 times what you paid for. Amazing!
I would add a battery operated light or even a hard wire one to the inside of the cabinet and then you could see the x-rays when the cabinet is closed.
Amazing! And seeing that snapshot of thumbnail of a previous episode with Ree Phillips broke my heart! I miss her posts terribly!
"Gothic shabby chic" 💝 absolutely beautiful.
I wish I had the patience to make this. This would be great to go along with my growing collection of “medical macabre” books.
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!
Those spider web stained glass pieces really made the whole thing come together, it came out amazing!
✨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.
That's amazing. A tually exactly the same as mine (the original cabinet) except mine has mirrors. Don't think the other half would appreciate someone else's xray mind
I really like apothecary themed things so I was really excited for this video! Thanks spooky dad
That rub and buff really is amazing
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!
This project turned out great! In my opinion, one of your best. I really enjoyed the glass spider webs, they were a great addition.
