  • For three years now, as the host of Gothic Homemaking, people have been asking me if I'd ever go and visit other people's gothic abodes. I never thought the day would come, but it finally has! Join me as I visit a young lady in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (of all places!) who has decorated her apartment in a wonderfully and tastefully macabre way.
    Who's lair should I visit next??? Let me know in the comments!

    You should do a remodel of someone else's home. Maybe someone who just moved and needs to take what they have, add a few additional touches and create a new lair.

    I love what she was able to conjure up for her lair, and the way she incorporated the white walls into her aesthetic. Her place gives me a bit of a Victorian asylum/Alice Madness returns-vibe, especially with all the rabbits, amazing! Also yay, Eddie Izzard on her computer-screen ^^

    Burbank, CA! My home’s spookiness is much too subdued to warrant a feature, but I love your segment, and have recently turned my mother onto your channel (she’s the real inspiration for how I got into the goth scene back in the early 90’s - she’s from the 60’s NY art scene) and she totally identifies with you!! We both keep elements of darkness around us aesthetically all year long because it makes us, well, happy! Hopefully I’ll be able to catch one of your LA shows, it’s hard to get out sometimes w/ 2 kiddos 🙃

    I love that you brought up Cocteau! I gotta subscribe for that. Rabbits are such a great representation of something than can be both macabre and cute. I mean, think of the movie US by Jordan Peele: it features white rabbits as twisted imagery, mirroring the caged lives of the Tethered. Her home aesthetic is amazing.

    Queenie Black and Avelina DeMoray have impressive homes. I remember Dre Ronayne and Davey Suicide had a lovely aesthetic in their apartments years ago. I'd like to see if Angela Benedict is interested. The Goblin Queen Allison Eckfeldt has a nice witchy aesthetic. Babydoll Peach has a cute apartment with her husband. The Kilted Goth has neat stuff. I know of other RUclipsrs with goth accents but either not enough for a full house or it's dedicated to one room (I love Haunted Bat, Aisling O'Neil, and Creepy Corners).

    I LOVE the hands on the wall!!! My apartment building is historic so I am not allowed to put any sort of hole in the wall which has made decorating a challenge. However, something like the hands would be feasible without any sort of damaging mount so I am very inspired! My home is a museum of diy Gothic, Asian eccelectia, and fashion history. If you are ever around Greensboro, NC, you are most welcome.
