Dubs, sounds like our wives are sisters from different mothers. We're selling our house, and just had a hugemongous yard sale. Well, have a realtor that's across the park from us, and wants the house for her mother. Anyway, am stalling said realtor, as my wife will NOT allow me (!) to bring her over to take a gander. House is a mess, and she'll see. Said that she's used to seeing through the clutter to the 'bones' of the house. Nope, am told. Anyway, am doing what can to make house presentable (heck, I don't know where she puts things) so we can show this git on the road. So took your post to heart....
