Stucco, Venetian plaster interior walls. Removal? Paint over?

[Frank Szymanski]

Hello all!

Looking at a SFH that has a pretty ugly kitchen to me. Looks like the owner at some point tried to either venetian plaster or stucco of some sort their interior walls to the kitchen and bathroom. See images.

Anybody have experience with handling this? I haven't attempted to repair any of this yet. Some options include:

- Attempt to rip off of wall/sand (doubt this will be practical)

- Paint over white with another color to make it more appealing?

- Cover with thin dry wall?

Any advice would be great thanks!
