After the drywall was done, I started getting quotes on taping all of it. We did an average job of hanging drywall, so an average job of taping would no hide any of our various errors. The price wasn't too bad, but then I would have to prime and paint everything afterwards. We were also getting a quote from a plaster guy about the stairs. Smooth drywall and textured stair wall don't exactly scream "We belong together!", so we wanted to smooth out the stair walls. Just for S&G's I asked him how much to plaster the whole thing. To my amazement, it was about the same price for plaster! The bonus is that there is a square footage of ZERO that I would have to paint! The second super bonus was that plaster would hide our crappy drywall hanging! That sounds like a bucket of WIN to me, so we did it! In my head I was thinking flat plaster, but not smooth. Just a little texture, almost like ice that has been skated on (see how I tie it all together). I think it turned out great. It's a light grey, with a slight blue tint to it.
