When we first moved in we redid the entire house along with the baseboards. Took about six weeks with all our spare time going into these renos.
Then the kidlets started coming. My wife wanted the same as the OP's wife for our first two children. Four different colors in each room. Stripes and what not. With our third on the way, she wanted to redo one of the rooms a into a pirate theme.
I must say, she has become quite an excellent painter. I taught her how to use the mitre saw and she put a funky chair rail in as well. For the paint fumes, nothing says I care about you honey like a 3M N95 respirator mask.
