For a lower commitment look, take a look at the wallies website. They have peel and stick chalkboard squares that go on in a second and work really well. Think of it as a low cost test run for the chalkboard paint!

Totally agree with ilovebutter - there are some things you just can't save. We moved into an old house that had a horrible kitchen from the 70s or 80s. We tried to salvage the cabinets, but they were so poorly made that it was not possible. The turquoise tiles (can't even describe how ugly they were) were salvaged though and made beautiful again by a crafty friend.

BTW - when we bought the house, our neighbors gave us a whole stash of their Victorian Home (or something like that) magazines and our FAVORITE part of leafing through these was the end column which was called "Remuddling." As the name suggests, it featured exterior pictures of really bad renovation decisions. Now, that has become my and my husband's favorite term for really bad renovation decisions - particularly in beautiful old houses.
