should i apeal a small claim judges decision to dismiss my sec. deposit from landlord?

[bashaya]

i took my x landlord to small cl. court in south carolina for my sec. deposit. i had all my pics of the home that clearly shows that the house was free and clear of any damage. i had a one year lease and did everything the way it said to. she did not give me a wall thu and was tiringg to "push me under the rug" when it came to my money. i only got an itemized statementt after my lawyer sent a demand for one which was over 30 days later. she came to court claiming over $4,000 in damages and brought a pic of a microwave and two missing stickie tiles on the kitchen floor (was missing when i got there.). After getting a letter saying All claims dismissed (no reason why) i left a note for the judge asking why. some woman called me (not sure who or were she was from) and said he dismissed it b/c she had to paint. i have picture showing my walls were in great shape and if she indeed painted its becuause she wonted to and that is not my problem. im intend to apeal but i just wonted to know if it would be wearth it. im sueing for 3x the amount pl court fee and att. fees. i have pictures if you would like to see them before you give me your thoughts on this.i just dont know how to post them. thanks so much
