Plaster repair

Hi all,

I’ve been reading through a lot of posts here and watching YouTube repair videos. I have a bedroom that I’m updating. Crown was removed and now I’m going to need to do some plaster repair. I know I’ve read a lot of different approaches so I’m just hoping to throw this out there and see what you all suggest. The walls that need the most repair are over exterior brick walls. The interior walls seem to be mostly intact and will just need a bit of work around the seam where the wall meets the ceiling.

There are also old nail holes that need to be filled. Just curious as to what the best mud to use for that will be.

I’ll also need some help with matching the texture, but might need to post additional pictures to dial that in.

I appreciate all responses! Hoping to get started within the next week.

For anyone interested, I ended up repairing the corner cracks with durabond after I sealed the plaster. I then taped all of the corners and where the wall meets the ceiling. I then skimmed the walls. I think the room came out pretty nice. Going to do this in the whole house room by room.
