could you imagine taking ur dog for a night time walk and this vampire dude is just chilling painting some bottles.
😂😂😂
I mean...it IS New York...🤷♀️
And as soon as you hear him speak, your mind goes "This guy sounds strangely familiar..."
Bonus points if he's humming the Brains song.
I would be so happy
Thats Typical new york.
Im honestly impressed about how you come up with these ideas
Loved the idea
It's beautiful but I thought he would choose the titles carefully (for example: "bloody bandage", "bone aspirine", etc) xD
I only imagine the day Voltaire skin's his knee, and then he desperately tries to find his bandages.
Great video, as usual. I hope to be able to make your DIY someday.
Normie guest: Surely you can't make everything in here look Goth!
Voltaire: TRY ME
Voltaire: Challenge Accepted! 🍷
MMMMAAAAHHHHAAAA!!!!!
🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀
This man is an artist in every sense of the word
Finally someone acknowledges that the entire American medical system uses the wrong symbol! As a doctor, I cannot overstate how much this irks me.
Nope, for how it works, USA medical system is using the correct one. It's all a business.
@@eldron29-a54 Lmao true
@@eldron29-a54 Well Played Sir/Madame. Well Played Indeed! 👍👏🙌
@@eldron29-a54 I was about to say..
This was absolutely wonderful - how clever actually functioning apothoscary bottles... I would have given hints in the labels though so you can find things easility. lIke Bleeding sores for bandages, skull dust for aspirin...and so on. Still brilliant as ever and inspiring as a gothic diy master. Yes, you are our Dark DIY Master.....i did make a floating potion bottle you might like on my channel as well! Have a great day and Live the adventure!
Voltaire is the Martha Stewart of the Macabre Home Makeover.
💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀🦇💀
To keep from constantly opening bottles to find something, you could put little labels on the bottoms that list what's inside.
I love Secret deodorant too. Works great, smells good!
that's what I have done in my kitchen ! it works perfectly
I agree with the labeling!!!
Have you Considered selling your labels Pdf form for instant download? Don't underestimate your Creative ideas. The Labels turned out Gorgeous...and against the black mate bottles...Elegantly done 🙌
Thanks, I tried to make that happen in time for this episode but the production schedule on future episodes coupled with recording two albums simultaneously got in the way. But I do plan to do it! 😊
The Lair of Voltaire where you get apothecary bottle with the black lid?
yes!! The Plague B Gone is priceless.
Fun fact: I'm an HP salesperson by day and artist by night! Watching the photoshop and printing bits made me happier to see than most people will get, lol! But I'm definitely gonna keep this in mind, I've been looking for ways to make my candles nice and spooky!
And hey, deodorant is needlessly gendered anyway, I use Old Spice's Wolfthorne! XD
Same here! I love the sent. If makeup is gender less, why can't deodorant be?
Krakengard is my most recent favorite :)
Old Spice scents are just too good to care about that stuff
I LOVEEE the Old Spice Fiji scent
Me too. It works for me and smells great!
For anyone trying to do this: Joanns Fabrics has some cool bottles with stoppers for sale with their Halloween stuff this year!
I just use random bottles I find off the street. It works pretty much the same way.
I'm so lucky I live near an antique store that has a whole section full of actual apothecary bottles and cans and boxes.
No they don’t
"even though its a symbol of commerce" my first thought was "uhhhhhh that might actually be intentional, given health prices in the USA >.
I see a brown cork and I want to paint it black...no colors anymore I want them to turn black...
Great job on that apothescary cabinet and bottles!
I wish Voltaire made a cover of that awesome song.
I would try to think of label names that would make it easy to find things.
Yeah me too. Creative names for practical things. Since you can add any text you want, put "Laudanum" on the pain meds jar, put "Mummy Wraps" on the bandaid jar, put "Anti Plague" on the hand sanitizer, etc.
@@lestranged Imhotep Gauze - Keep wounds dry and wrapped up tight. Just like Mummy used to use.
@@Fickji You are a genius. I bow before such punny talent
I was thinking the same thing.
I'm not a goth, but your style, DIYs and this show are a inspiration. Big fan of your music btw.
dont deny your dark side..😉 *its not actually a four letter word..🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
10/10 would cry about all the bright colours and shapes.
"Spooky box under the sink" would be a good name for a podcast
I'm not a Goth (Im more of a woodland Fairy at heart) but boy do I admire and appreciate the life style and I love watching videos detailing it
Spooky bathroom tip for anyone reading! Keep an eye out for things in black that you wouldn't expect to be that colour. Daiso here sells pitch black Q tips, I've seen black tissues before but don't recall where, and I've been on the lookout for a black toothbrush without coloured stripes or bristles. They're not exactly display items but they're things commonly stored visibly for convenience and it looks surprisingly nice when they all match like that.
Something to think of for a black toothbrush, get a bamboo and use food safe dyes to stain it.
Absolutely! I'm a fiend for leopard print, so I buy what I can use, but display as much as I can. My partner is so mad the cotton buds in our bathroom are only for show. We have plain ones to actually use.
"Charcoal" tissues will always be black and good for exfoliating your skin :)
Jill4ChrisRedfeild lol I have those!
Awesome! I haven't seen those before
The obsession with collecting glass jars is finally paying off! This is a great idea
Just when I thought the apothescary cabinet couldn't get any better, being absolutely gorgeous by itself, you go and fill it with gorgeous bottles. I love this project. It's perfect. It's macabre. I need it in my bathroom, to tie in with the rest of my lair.
Spooky box under the sink... I can think of a box with tentacles, trying to escape to eat your soul... or maybe with skeleton arms trying to get out
Good idea!
@Thomas R ha! Thats an interesting idea too!
Mimic👏chest👏
Music, animation, interior decoration, and graphic design! A man of many talents.
I'm so happy I'm not the only guy using Secret Deodorant.
I like the Lavender smell.
I love you so much for knowing the difference between the staff of Apollo and the staff of Mercury!!
I heard Modge Podge works for the labels. One coat to stick, one coat to protect and it dries clear. And you can wash w/o them wearing off.
I thought about that too, or spray laquer maybe. Maybe brushing on mod podge smears inkjet ink though? I have a vague memory of that happening to me but not sure
I used modge podge and scrapbook paper to decorate flasks. Normal modge podge gives a little protection, but not much. It's essentially very thick Elmur's glue. They make an outdoor safe modge podge I want to try next time.
yes i was SCREAMING for him to seal the labels
I was thinking clear packing tape or contact paper over the photo paper, but I like the other sealer ideas.
Modge podge breaks down when exposed to moisture. It’s best to use an acrylic top coat.
Awesome! I just picked up some bottles for this purpose. Can't wait to see how they turn out! 💀🖤💀🖤
People say shopping in the city can be expensive but there are so many underrated stores where you can find some incredible items for very fair prices. Also love the decor in your home it's lovely!
Frankly, I would've charred the corks, I've had a history of paint chipping off corks.
One thing that I really love about this show is that it often focuses on decorating things that only you will see. Most decorating shows I follow are all about making your home nice for visitors, but gothic homemaking really is about making things nice for yourself and I think that's really cool. You should love living in your own home!
You could print a small cheat sheet until you remember what's in which container. I love the video. It makes sense to me. Your art is amazing by the way, very beautiful.
I'm planning on making Halloween/Gothic ornaments for a Halloween tree this year. I'd love to see you cover something like that around Christmas, I'm sure your ideas would be amazing!
Oh sweetheart you should have used water slide paper, white not clear. Runs through your printer just like photo paper but before applying you spray with clear coat spray paint. They will also lay smooth against the glass unlike photo paper or even the shipping labels that have a bit of thickness. If you've never used water slide it's great!
The bottles came out freaking awesome.
How to find out "quickly" what is in which bottle? Just stick a label under each bottle with a short description of what it contains. The bottles turned out to be exquisite indeed. Greetings from Northwest Mexico.
Every time I feel like I'm being too Extra with my aesthetic, I come back to this channel for that sweet sweet validation.
the toiletry reveal with the scream was v goth relatable
"spooky box under the sink" would be a good name for a band
Honestly, these videos give me hope I could do something like this too, and it wouldn't be a full Desaster.
Painting the corks really did change the vibe more than I was expecting. I think I would have painted them silver so they matched the silver lids on your $0.99 store jars, but the black really makes them almost invisible.
Yes! Looking forward to spooky box under the sink. I love how you applied a lot of practicality to this project. 😁👍
I'm planning on making my own Wednesday Addams arsenic bottle and using it as a water bottle. This was really helpful!
Watching this is a cherished pastime for The Addams family.
The spooky thing is that within the past few days, I've actually been trying to think of ways to transform some old bottles that I've got laying around; fantastic timing, Mr. Voltaire!🖤
Another fantastic idea! Although I remember my father( a pharmacist) saying: Always read the label twice before taking any medicine.
LOL. It's okay. He had a bit of a dark streak. Used the top of a human skull for an ashtray.
I came here from a Billy and Mandy video, and I am beyond thrilled to know that Voltaire is, not only still kicking, but artsy and crafty as all hell. I honestly would've never thought, but it looks like I have a new addiction now
Welcome aboard!!!
This man lives for the aesthetic
LOL at Voltaire sneaky spray painting under cover of darkness 🤣
I love the look of this so much! My own aesthetics suffer for ease of access. If I can't obtain an object instantly I eventually forget about it.
I'm still hoping that some intelligent company will give you the opportunity to have your own line of housewares and such.
I would also love to see you receive recognition that would put Elvira and Bela to shame!
love and respect to you, Voltaire
I had been wanting to get in to replacing packages with jars and spooky boxes but had too many ideas and could not narrow down where and how to start. Thank you for the dark path to trek on my journey to apothecary bliss!!
The little spherical bottle with the pendant was gorgeous 😱😍
This was a fun DIY. I have made printed gothic labels for my kitchen jars with a Xerox, packing tape, and water. I plan to make uniform jars for all my herbs next.
They turned out amazing; I love them 💜🦇. If you ever get tired of singing, I swear you could be The First Ever, paid Gothic Interior Designer. I know people would pay to have you design their home decor for them 💜💜💜
Yeeeees!
turn your lables into tags and tie then to the round bottle necks
Lol working at an office supply store in their copy and print department, I could instantly tell those first labels weren't going to work because they're meant for a lazer printer not ink jet.
Keep in mind for the future, love!
Now that is dedication to the aesthetic! It turned out amazing! Can’t wait for spooky box under the sink!
I'm so glad I stumbled on this, Halloween is when we stock up on decorations for my 9-year-old's room and this year we're working on "her" bathroom. Such good ideas, and we love practical family projects!
This video couldn't of come at a better time, I'm attempting an ApotheScary project of my own. Your finished bottles look amazing, and fit right in.
Love Halloween Poison bottles! So whimsical, funny and spooky! :3
$3.50 (and below) is a pretty good price for those classic clear glass bottles with the cork lids. The aesthetic has me squealing with delight! So many potions to make, so little in my pocket to make them with. ); I admire anyone who can use the Adobe Suite. You're going to be using that printer more often. Love you!
I've learned my lesson. Don't play the drinking game while having this show in for background sound. I didn't realize until the 3rd episode that I had the playlist 😅 I can't leave my house now
Very nice. It's the little details that sell a space, and all the bright plastic bottles really did harsh your gloomy mellow.
Backseat decorating, with the benefit of seeing what you did first, I would suggest a slightly different process for anyone trying to do the same thing. First, fit your products to the bottles-- if necessary buying a few more. THEN paint them black and do all the decoration. And if it were me, I'd make the labels a little more descriptive of what's actually inside-- Mummy Wrappings for your bandages, etc.
But anyway, I love your channel. My wife and I are finally doing the goth bedroom neither of our moms would let us have when we were kids, and you're a huge inspiration. Can't wait for the next one.
I can't imagine decanting all that product all the time .. a 0 waste store would make it easier. I do like the ideas though! All the black makes my heart happy!
Wow amazing and insightful video! I personally would have done the labels a little more in tune to what is going to be in it, just my Virgo rising analytical mind taking over, but as a whole I totally dig the overall concept! Keep up the great work.
I love the key on the bottle! I have a flower vase full of old found keys. I make customized bath salts....this gives me an idea of how to use the keys with my bath salts now.
Thanks for the inspiration, Aurelio! It just so happens that I lack storage for my bathroom stuff, but I do have a copious amount of jars and bottles that I can make over. You have given me quite a few ideas.
I love this so much! I originally discovered Aurelio Voltaire through his music, and I’m so happy that I recently found his gothic homemaking series! I can’t wait to watch more!
Such a talented humanoid, I’ll strive to be as talented as he is!
I definitely like my dark decor functional. I'm totally doing this for a few bottles of mine!!!!
Tell Orville to stop giving you crap about the deodorant. He should just be grateful that you use it. 😂
Heck, pretty sure *Orville* is the one badly in need of deodorant. Dead dude funk can *not* be pleasant.
No amount of deodorant is going to remove dead dude funk
@@Mokiefraggle hopefully he's so old and dry he's lost his stank. 😂
I stopped using Secret and moved on to Dove- its less toxic and I ruined too many black tops. Works as good, but always aware there is aluminium if you go with anti perspirant the no. 1 cause for Alzheimer’s. I wear deodorant at home and anti perspirant if going out. Spared my health a bit I hope.
Oh haha you put medincines into the bottles. I like it that. 👍😊😘🤟🏽🙌🏽🖤💜💀🦇📱
I love that you know about the Rod of Asclepius!
This man has middle aged dad energy and I'm Here For it
The gothic king at it again
This is a great idea for ANY aesthetic!! I don't have a spooky bathroom but I HATE seeing all those ugly boxes and bottles and crap!
Excellently done Voltaire! 🦇 Have you thought of possibly selling some of your label's in sticker format? I could definitely see people wanting to buy them. They're really beautiful ❤
I put labels on the bottom of mine so i know what they really hold. I took brown paper wrote out spooky names for my spices and burned the edges around the paper so they looked old. I don't have a printer but this worked out too. I put them on a shelf and put fake cobwebs around them for year round charm.
I blame this on sleeping too little after my night shift, but at 2:07 it reads "ass storage" and "rage jar"!!
Anyway this was a super cool DIY idea, I already have some jars and small bottles ready!
This video made my day. I’ve been hurt by so many cool looking bottles that won’t open >.>
Gorgeous I'll have to do this when I move and hopefully I won't scare my future husband lol. Who cares I know I can be scary all on my own.
Lol, if he's scared, then he is no husband material.
Years ago when my kids where little my son broke a glass jar in the bathroom and then cut his foot and I cut mine. No more glass in the bathroom. I now save plastic food jars from peanut butter, Nutella, bouillon, etc. I remove the labels, wash them, and then spray paint them.
Thats such a good idea!
Yaaaas finally you make potion bottles! I have a shelf of them myself!
I was so happy seeing this video go out today ! The moment i saw the ApotheScary Medicine Cabinet video i was so waiting for the spooky bottles to match ! ;)
Spooky box under the sink would be an interesting band name.
I'm working these days on creating apothecary bottles.. this suits perfect to my project!! Thank you
These episodes have been getting better and better, great job

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

I made one of these for my tiny 1/2 bath before I found your channel. I found the cabinet free at the side of the road, painted it black and modpodged book pages to the inside . I think I like your wallpaper better though. Now onto my bottles!
tips for knowing what are in the tins !
I just labeled under the bottles and tins, what is it inside, so I just have to watch under the package to know what is inside, it doesn't change the visual of the final touch, but you know what you have very quickly.
I hope it helps !
Love how you personalize everything to your esthetic!💀✨📸
Imagine being this creative 😂
Very nice! I've done much the same. Being more NeoEdwardian than Goth, I just left mine clear which makes things easier but I actually dumped the pills out of their original bottles into mine. Probably not officially recommended but the bottles are clean and labeled. I think glass is glass, even if it is not "food safe." I wash them with very hot water and dish soap, rinse them well, and then sanitize them by filling them with water and adding a denture cleaning tablet. Those are great to have around for cleaning decanters and flower vases that you can't easily scrub, too. You could boil them if you thought you should. Putting labels on with rubber cement is messier but makes it easier to take off later, if you want to. Spraying your label sheets with clear lacquer after you print them would make them water resistant, if not water proof. I've managed to find a few antique bottles but they are generally fantastically expensive. You can also get new bottles with glass stoppers from laboratory supply companies but larger sizes are pricey there, too.
Such a wicked DIY. Such a compleat color scheme for your favorite goul. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
Oh so so gorgeous!!! I am deeply jealous of your skill with photoshop as well as the fact that you have access to Michael's!
You Sir, are a design god to me .......
You and Orville did a great job on those bottles. You are wonderful and creative. Thank you sirs. Stay safe!
The bottles turned out amazing! It all looks so elegantly Goth, so wickedly macabre! Great ideas, Voltaire!!
I have done those bottles before but it was really small pill size bottles now that I've seen you do the larger bottles I can't wait to go to the craft stores into the thrift stores and find me some bottles and redo them thank you for the great idea
For adhesive, you can also water down some PVA glue, place the label on the bottle and layer the glue mix over the top. It'll also add some shine to the label in case you don't have gloss paper.
Those bottles look amazing. I've been working on a _Frankenstein_ themed skateboard ramp for a while but have been struggling with the paint. I spent all day scraping off the satin black paint I used because it was way too shiny (especially for something my friends and I are going to be looking at while attempting to ride off it on our skateboards - sun glare is the last thing we need). Frankenstein's monster is a reanimated corpse and I don't picture him as shiny. I think I'll go back and try that flat black paint again. It looks so good on those bottles. Great video!
I was in the process of doing something similar with my many bottles and jars of skin care but I lost focus along the way. Thanks for the inspiration to carry on with it again.
