Redecorating after a break up

Has anyone else felt that at some point they will have to do this? My ex has only been gone 3 days but its been a long time coming, It's my hous but weve lived in it together from the day i moved in after remodelling so most things are the things I chose but a lot of the touches are hers and remind me of her. The place still has her smell in places and the bed does (can't bring myself to change the sheet as im sleeping on the sofa and have since she left)

 

I feel like i want to remove the thing that will remind me of her but im not ready for that yet. If you did this after an ex who you lived with left, what did you change, how soon after the breakup did you change it? I still get a bit emotional opening the cupboard and seeing her favourite cups and glanding over and remembering where we bought a sofa cushion so i know having these reminders is bad but i don't feel i can let them go just yet.

 

Any advice much appreciated.

My exH was a real hot headed hard guy who just so happened to be colorblind so after a huge domestic incident he’d take off for a few days without any word.

It was during those times I’d take it upon myself to paint the walls...mostly in girlie pastel shades like pink and lavender just especially for his return.
