Its already started! Over here Halloween isn't that big of a thing so you usually only see stuff for autumn/halloween in shops beginning of October, sometimes only the week before Halloween for spoopy stuff. But this year Hobbycraft have already released a bunch of craft stuff for Halloween and a collection of different coloured plush pumpkins in different sizes. Not even August yet! So happy! I get to spend my birthday month decorating with the next batch of stuff which will stay up indefinitely.
Your florals remind me of an excerpt from "Hannibal," when Lecter thought, "Too many flowers are just too many flowers, but WAY too many flowers are just right." I would have stopped at the rose crown, but way too many flowers made it perfect. 💀
Something about the name reminds me (in a good way) of The Sims. Like a Sims "Gothic expansion pack) basically the Vampire one. It's the naming structure they use. 😊
I have to admit, I was skeptical about the florals, but in the end, it really brought the whole scene together. Kind of uniting the wall decor with the chaise.
We've been waiting so patiently for the macabre meister to come back! I hope you and Mayumi had a great summer together even though you've been touring so much!
I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat when Voltaire uploads, it makes my little black heart happy. R.I.P Chaise Lounge, your sacrifice was not in vain! 11:21 Perfect, just perfect 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was surprised to find how much I miss Orville. However I am consoled that you and Mayumi will be back with your beautifully transformed love(never dies) seat.
Vampirate...now that's a movie that needs to be made. Super happy to see you and Mayumi (apologies I probably spelled that wrong) back with Gothic Homemaking. As someone trained as a furniture maker/ restorer you did a great job on the love seat. A tip if you're going to be using brush on paint again, rub it down with steel wool about 0000 grade between coats...it takes a bit longer but helps even out the finish, using a sponge instead of a bristle brush helps as well.
As with the tiny teardrop shapes that worried Aurelio on her Halloween Jack-O-Lantern, Mayumi is unafraid to leap wherever her dark visions take her & trust that techniques will be adequate to achieving those ends. & I am SO here for it! Also here for all of the EXTRA EXTRA...
Newbie here! Love it! Now I am binge watching 😂… my decor is steampunk but my bathroom is goth (Edgar Allan Poe - raven style) black walls & wallpaper…love your sense of humor. You remind me of Michael from grimmlife collective…scary 🦇 hugs & kisses to you & your lady!
That lounge looks like the original one would be shamed in the previous episode of Gothic Homemaking. Even the middle center piece is gorgeous. I would buy that love seat. I'm glad to have both of you back, hopefully to see you both a Dragoncon.
I wasn’t sure about the couch transformation. But the skull addition at the end really pulled it all together. Like the skull had wings. Very angel of death. 👌🏼 *chef’s kiss*
Couple pro tips: When working with brush paints, thin your paints (changes based on paint type, but acrylic and latex are water-based), and work with multiple thinner coats to avoid brush stroke texturing.
Voltaire, the ending when Mayumi sat with you on the chaise lounge literally sincerely made me tear up! It's so good to see you two again. And the Love Never Dies Lounge is absolutley gorgeous oh my god, I loooove it so much! Im sad I could not catch you performing on tour but I'm looking forward to whatever the two you showcase on Gothic Homemaking this spooky season! This episode was such a delight!
Mayumi always wears the best earrings. I love to see what she's wearing. Your videos always inspire me to do crafts I didn't think of doing before. Love you guys!
The skull gave me catrina vibes for sure! Loved the outcome Mr Aurelio! It was a pleasure meeting you and Mayumi at the concert. Thank you for your inspiration, music and beautiful work! Great job ❤
Oh man, what an amazing build! The one thing I would suggest is a clear poly or laquer finish over the paint, both to give it that super gloss, and to protect the paint from chipping. You've managed to combine my love of furniture flipping with my love of all things dark! Kudos!
Can’t wait to see it! Definitely needed a pick me up. I had bought a ticket for the concert for tonight, but ended up not being able to make it, do to some car troubles.
So fabulous! Have you considered lighting up the skull? Might provide some spooky cool ambience. Can't wait for the next episode! Thank you as always!!
Just love this and the both of you together ❤ i have the same problem at MY lair, no loveseat! I hope i find an awesome project like this to undertske soon so my parter and i can cuddle in style like you two!
Hello from Long Island! As someone who enjoys all things Halloween-ish (and lately, Dia De Los Muertos-ish), I am delighted to have discovered your channel. Your new, improved Love Never Dies loveseat is GORGEOUS by the way. Kudos to you and Mayumi. All the best! Carolyn (age 77)
This is so beautiful. It also reminds me of winged skull tombstones. I'm so happy y'all are back, and I can't wait to see what else you and Mayumi have cooked up for spooky season!
Tip for next time you're gonna paint over something glossy: sand it a little bit, as that roughens it up and makes the paint stick more as it got more to grab basically
One of the future things you switch the skull out for could be an hourglass! The shape you were left with looks very reminiscent of those old new England type headstones.
I love the couch! By the way me and my man are officially getting married October 23rd this year! And we are doing a gothic London style theme so if anyone has some ideas or tips of some designs I would love some good thoughts :)
Congratulations!! This is probably kind of obvious, but I suggest chosing a palette -black/black, black/red, black/white, etc., so you can have an easier time chosing the decorations. Also take into account the weather, even if it's indoors as it may affect unexpectedly the ceremony/ party (happened to my uncle). May your love be as eternal and profound as the abyss
It looks absolutely stunning, and the multi-coat latex gives a very nice shine. Can't wait for the Halloween Hauls to start up; need a bit of Fall to cut through the unceasing summer heat.
I just discovered Voltaire thanks to Daria Cohen, and her cartoons The Vampires Series He has a fantastic resemblance with Duke but even more with Duke's father. I admire his beautiful fresh voice when he sings along or with Amanda Palmar in Stuck with You but even more his gothic scene, his gothic clothes, style, and all the tips he gives us about how to decorate a beautiful seat. By the way, I have one which my mother gave me and I want to do the same. Thanks, Duke All my admiration and respect to you and your work. Beautiful girlfriend as well.
The Chaise Lounge didn't merely die, it was sacrificed to the dark gods to bring about this new unholy upholstery 🖤💀🖤
Undead Undead Undead
The king returns
Return of the Villain King 👑
🎉
This is amazing!
Goth carpentry FTW!!!
It looks BEAUTIFUL!! But, Ok Voltaire, be honest. Did you put the gorgeous bouquet behind the love seat just to cover the holes in the wall?? 😂 🦇🖤
I rarely do ANYTHING that solves only ONE problem. ; )
@TheLairofVoltaire I'm stealing that.
I was wondering the exact same thing. The end result looks dame good as well.
At long last Voltaire has emerged from hibernation. If he sees his shadow spooky season will start early this year!
I'd rather have spooky season instead of more weeks of winter
Oh its already started, TJ Maxx started putting out Halloween decorations last week

"Start"?
It's absolutely gorgeous! The flowers absolutely look like a fancy dress baroque wig, but oh so wonderfully goth

EVERYONE WAKE UP GOTHIC HOMEMAKING IS BACK

"Let me change into something less vampirate-y!"
Cuts to him in the most vampirate-y work clothes I've ever seen, haha!
The saw scared me too, but I trust you! I love the flower crown. Freda would be proud!💝
We've been waiting so patiently for the macabre meister to come back! I hope you and Mayumi had a great summer together even though you've been touring so much!
I peaked at Michael's halloween items for the year. I think you and Mayumi may fall in love with some of the items. ❤🖤
I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat when Voltaire uploads, it makes my little black heart happy.
R.I.P Chaise Lounge, your sacrifice was not in vain!
11:21 Perfect, just perfect 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ура наконец-то, я так счастлива (✪ω✪)/
I'm willing to stay up til this airs :)
YEEEEEEEEESSSSS the king is back!!!!
I'm not going to lie. I was leery on several of the things but boy was I ever wrong that came out. Absolutely gorgeous.
I was surprised to find how much I miss Orville. However I am consoled that you and Mayumi will be back with your beautifully transformed love(never dies) seat.
I miss the cutaways to Orville and the rat
@@cecilyerker me too.
The King and Queen have returned 🖤
Beautiful, sweet gothic romance upon a beautiful, elegant, gothic loveseat...sounds like the perfect date for our favorite gothic lovebirds!
Okay, now the kitchen next! 👀 lol

The way I clicked the notification at lightning speed 😂

He’s back and so is Mayumi!🎉

Oh wow, this is going to be big. I’ll grab the black popcorn.
Yay! You're back! Missed you and Mayumi! Halloween, here you come!!!

DIY repurposing furniture into a gothic fashion. My absolute favorite thing!
Lair Of Voltaire uploads in July, truly spooky season has begun! 🦇
Mayumi always wears the best earrings. I love to see what she's wearing. Your videos always inspire me to do crafts I didn't think of doing before. Love you guys!
I hope I'm not the only one adding orvilles opinions, remarks and taunts in their head. This project looks beautiful!!
The skull gave me catrina vibes for sure! Loved the outcome Mr Aurelio! It was a pleasure meeting you and Mayumi at the concert. Thank you for your inspiration, music and beautiful work! Great job ❤
You sure as hell didn't ruin it, it turned out great! Looking forward to seeing many episodes in the future with the both of you on there 🙂
Now, you can definitely feel relax in your new, gothic designed couch by yourself or with your "love of darkness"! 🖤🖤🤘
I think it looks amazing! You did a wonderful job! And so glad to see Mayumi back beside you. You two are so sweet together 🥰
May L❤️VE will always make your house a home! Well done you two.
I'm so proud for myself and happy that's I understand english and can watch your vids!
Oh man, what an amazing build! The one thing I would suggest is a clear poly or laquer finish over the paint, both to give it that super gloss, and to protect the paint from chipping.
You've managed to combine my love of furniture flipping with my love of all things dark! Kudos!
A perfect return...for a perfect couple. ❤ You guys are amazing, and your astetic is so awesome.
Love you guys.
Great job on Death's Lounge of Love.
Can’t wait to see it! Definitely needed a pick me up. I had bought a ticket for the concert for tonight, but ended up not being able to make it, do to some car troubles.
Aww that would be incredibly disappointing.
I'm really sorry you weren't able to make the concert. Hopefully, there will be another one soon that you an make it to.
@@TheLairofVoltaire
I still hope it turned out well for ya! Can’t wait till next time though.
So fabulous! Have you considered lighting up the skull? Might provide some spooky cool ambience. Can't wait for the next episode! Thank you as always!!
It turned out gorgeous! I was screaming “NOOOOO! Don’t cut it, just add a black skull!” So I was relieved when you did add the skull! It’s perfect 😍
Just love this and the both of you together ❤ i have the same problem at MY lair, no loveseat! I hope i find an awesome project like this to undertske soon so my parter and i can cuddle in style like you two!

"My GOD MAYUMI! That ideas so insane it might actually WORK!" You guys give me big Young Frankenstein vibes sometimes. 💀
Oh my god mamas back 😭🖤
The love seat turned out so beautiful! But.
That last shot of you and Mayumi together was absolutely adorable!
The love seat is incredible, the skull and flowers gorgeous (love the Catrina look) and Mayumi and you together is perfection!
Omg!! Incredible! 10:32🖤
This is so beautiful. It also reminds me of winged skull tombstones. I'm so happy y'all are back, and I can't wait to see what else you and Mayumi have cooked up for spooky season!
My house looks nothing like this, but I really enjoy watching the over-the-top decor that's going on here. 😋👍
This is my favorite past time love you Voltaire🖤
Owh hell yeah! The grand retour of the prince and princess of darkness 🦇
Wow! The skull and flowers really brought it together! What a fantastic transformation!
Oh my goth! The love seat turned out amazing! Can't wait to see more episodes with you and Mayumi!
I love the way you have your house fixed up you fix up your home beautiful
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!!
And now, finally, I feel like the Halloween season is off to a start! Totally not jealous of that loveseat.
I admit I was a bit nervous when you took the saw to the woodwork, but the finished project really is amazing!
I love the Love never dies seat!
Yes!!!
LOVE the new opening and soooooo, soooo, happy this series returned! The king has his queen beside him!
Where's my love?😅that was too cute!
you're my hero. just wanted to put this out there. I have no other notes 💀
Tip for next time you're gonna paint over something glossy: sand it a little bit, as that roughens it up and makes the paint stick more as it got more to grab basically
You two are beyond adorable
Love this video!!!
It is so beautiful & I love just it 💜 You and Mayumi look adorable together there :) So nice to see her again 💜
This is a reminder I need s other couch for my basement. Thanks again for making it to Indiana. -Ron
One of the future things you switch the skull out for could be an hourglass! The shape you were left with looks very reminiscent of those old new England type headstones.
Excellent love( Never Dies) works, keep it up……………. Sword and sorcery and heavy metal YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sooo stoked for new episodes!!! May your love never die, in dark times and in darker ones.
Cen't wait! 😁
Best Episode yet! It turn out fantastic. You two look beautiful together. Just don’t let Orville take her place on the love seat lol.
Can't wait 😄
I love the couch! By the way me and my man are officially getting married October 23rd this year! And we are doing a gothic London style theme so if anyone has some ideas or tips of some designs I would love some good thoughts :)
Congratulations!! This is probably kind of obvious, but I suggest chosing a palette -black/black, black/red, black/white, etc., so you can have an easier time chosing the decorations.

I was a little concerned that you cut that furniture but you surprised me with how beautiful it turned out.🖤
It looks absolutely stunning, and the multi-coat latex gives a very nice shine. Can't wait for the Halloween Hauls to start up; need a bit of Fall to cut through the unceasing summer heat.
I've missed you and your maniacal brilliance. Stay amazing, my dark star!
