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.

Stucco Finish
Little by little we are getting the stucco finished on the castle, the back side of the arches is now complete as well as the side walls and dormers. The back turret is almost complete with just 3 more dormers to complete, then on to the back wall.
After applying this fibrous stucco and smoothing it, just before it dries, there is a narrow window in which you can put on the veining. Then you must smear and blend it in to a look of real rock.
It dries quickly so you must work very fast, 2 bags takes a little less than 2 hours to put on for 2 people. Don't be too picky and remember rocks have varying textures and veins.
