Plaster ceiling and plaster walls - in which order?

[carinashem]

Hi,

I'm renovating the basement and I'm wondering if the walls should be plastered before the ceiling is drywalled? We plan to skip the ceiling moldings.

Here's the plan: Self-level the new concrete floor --> Plaster the walls (lime plaster) --> Drywall the ceiling --> Lay tiles

I would level the floor last. But that is a matter of taste.

Yes, if I could have chosen, I would have waited with the self-leveling compound until after the ceiling and walls.
