We may put a sound barrier under the molding. I know that the original plaster walls are more sound proof than sheetrock, so I’m thinking that the plaster alone should do something. Then there’s the fake plaster. I would never want to use it otherwise, but if it’s an easier/better sound proof solution, I just may consider it.
Do you think this stuff would look hideous?

Hey, try that Acousti paint and lemme know how it goes! 😉

Would a series of plaster pieces put on the wall help much with sound-proofing though?

That Acousti-Coat seems magical – might have to give it a whirl (our Philly rowhome walls – plaster over brick – are pretty non-sound-limiting’ish.

We’re not creating the plaster from scratch….we’re buying a series of pieces. It all comes down to what we like more. We’ll give the plaster more of an effort because it will be worth it to us.
I have more fun with my crazy endeavors than simple plans anyway.

How could building out the wall with ornate plaster be more difficult to perfect than taping seams? The latter I was able to get better at with some experience and patiences, but the former, I’m pretty sure I’d *never* be able to pull off.
