Yep! Paint the entire interior a nice neutral color. One, it'll help it sell faster, and two, it'll be good therapy plus a lot of hard work! Idle hands...
Don't worry what your wife thinks right now. Do what YOU think is right.
When we got rid of our dog, and things were looking like my W might be out of the house in a week or two, I thought about getting a kitten. I've always loved cats, but my wife has always said she hates them. So I got TWO kittens. My daughters love them, and surprisingly, my W seems to really be attached to them. But I got them for ME!
