I totally understand what you are going through, you are definitely not alone as you can see from the other replies! We had to replace blinds and remove all curtains. We have one area with wallpaper and that is gradually being stripped. I want to replace it anyway, but I would point out that my other half had a moggy here previously and he also scratched at it.
I definitely think you need to spray your paintwork with something that will repel her. I also tried strips of sticky paws on our best furniture but they soon worked out how to pull that off with their teeth. Fortunately the sofas seem to withstand it and they don't do it so much now they are older, but I would never buy anything leather again as I've had to get rid of my leather headboard as it was scratched and punctured by their claws and I couldn't even look at it!
She may calm down a bit when she's older. Ours were over a year old when we replaced the blinds in the kitchen as they were literally about to fall off and hanging by a thread. They have survived since (touch wood) so there is light at the end of the tunnel. We still need to replace the hall carpet, I would never buy looped carpet again as if their claws catch in it, it unravels!
