Cement board and skim coat for walls

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I’m wondering if using cement board with a skim coat of finish plaster might be a good way to do walls. It seems to me it might end up more aesthetically pleasing than dry wall. Does anyone have any thoughts/experience regarding such a technique?
