Bead Board over tile?? Bathroom help needed...

My home inspector informed us the that tile in the bathroom is mudset, so I came home and started doing some research on possilbe options for updating the bathroom. I just read this online and was wondering if anyone has placed bead board or wainscotting directly over tile? If you have was it easy to do? Did you hire someone or do it yourself? If you have an pics you could post I would really appreciate it!

TIA

"In older homes, wall tile may be "mud set" (set into a thick mortar base) rather than "thin set" (placed on a board covered in a coating of adhesive). Removing mud-set tile is an expensive, messy ordeal. In some cases, the old tile can be left in place and new tile, bead board or drywall installed over it. How to tell what you have: Look at a spot where the tile meets the wall. Mud-set tiles will protrude about an inch. Thin-set tiles will stick out only about a quarter-inch"

If you use an air chisel - maybe you could get it off.

I dont think I would put it over the other tile - it just seems like a bad idea.
