$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:elementary-os/stable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install elementary-desktop
To get over the wallpaper bug, open a terminal and paste the below oneliner:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background active true
Also, if you want a closer look to Elementary OS, you should install plank, from ricotz PPA:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/docky
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install plank
Next, install the Elementary Tweaks tool in order to tweak your system:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa: versable / elementary-update
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks

it's good , but i think need to explain how to install tke keys of the PPA
Not possible on Mint17,
you will run in real trouble getting back into your Mint desktop -
I found after following all these steps an ADDITIONAL swap partition ...
Unfortunately the author does not give any feedback -
I think this How To is meanwhile outdatet - but the idea is great.
You can have a look on Marlin better, it was updatet for Mint lately...
very interesting - need to be continued
This tutorial is missing a few key components.
Reference to a site describing the software.
Reference to websites describing and verifying the PPA's. It is after all a security risk installing from an unverified PPA.
How do I safely remove the software? Is apt-get remove enough?
