The folks at Magic Whiteboard in the UK have a good half way house product if you didn't fancy painting the walls: link They also do a clear version: link I remember seeing them on the BBC's Dragon's Den and winning over Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis: ▶ this video
Magic Whiteboard is pretty cool too: link It's basically a roll of big white sheets that stick to walls without adhesive. They're also erasable/reusable. Took off after appearing on Dragon's Den (a TV show where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to investors): ▶ this video
Seems very similar/identical to Magic Whiteboard - link - a UK product that was featured on the UK version of dragon's den - ▶ this video - is Whiteyboard a completely separate company or have Magic Whiteboard not yet got a US patent?
