Having just undertaken a tedious remodel that was of course, late and over-budget I can safely say the answer is a little more nuanced.

No, another house, or new paint doesn't make you "happier", but your old house, paint, stained carpet, or holes in your walls, can truly make you irate, or generally bummed. The same way removing a sliver doesn't make you happy, it just makes you not pained. Removing or changing these things simply offers you the opportunity to worry about new thorns in your side.
