design idea - reclaimed milk painted wainscoting

How about some vertical reclaimed wainscoting for the kitchen walls? This stuff (pictured below) is listed on CL for $8 a square foot (ouch!).  But I really like the way the milk paint cracked over the years. Those colors are so like frescos.  So, this batch is out of the question, but now I know to keep my eyes open for this stuff when anything in the neighborhood is being gutted.
