Trying behavior always seems to happen when we're stressed. It's like our children can feel our hidden stress and they act out because of it. I absolutely hate trying to sell things. We just sold a car. I can't imagine how much stress trying to sell a house would be.

We do put stuff up for the rest of the day when it's used improperly. It doesn't happen often, but it does sometimes. You could just let your DD have the easy to wipe off stuff, like washable markers.
