Chateau Charmant means Charming Castle in French, which I believe it is. Not too big, not too small just perfect for a normal family to come and feel a sense of nobility and Royalty without being overwhelmed in a decadent lifestyle. This small castle is perfect for getting away. And on this blog I will share how a normal person like me, can build their own castle with blood sweat and tears.

Another Day at the Castle
When sealing a concrete floor remember the smell's will give you a major headache. Quickly get in and out. Then leave the room and let it cure (with out curing your head).
Britt and I then stained the closet doors in the entry. Today I will finish those doors with gold leaf which will add a luster to the finish and tie it to the ornate front door. (This Photo is before stain & gold leaf)
For the next week the castle will be in upheaval.
Britt is starting on the clouded sky in the chapel and I will clean out the brides room to acid stain the floor in there. I want to do a practice run on a concrete block outside, because I want something very particular and I'm not certain yet how to get exactly the colors that I want. It might be less time, less stain, or just blending stain. I will have to try to see which works best.
