I've a room that I'm looking to remodel a bit and I want to get rid of this knockdown texture on the walls.

Would it be wise to skim coat with something to get a flat finish or just hang new drywall? I've never hung new drywall before but it doesn't look terribly difficult. Ceilings might be a pain in the ass but I'm sure I'll live.

I'm sure I'd save a bunch of money skimming over versus hanging new drywall (especially if this carries out into the hall and other rooms) but I'm worried about it looking half-ass or even degrading after a period of time.

What would you guys do?
