I have also been extremely exigent over a lot of details across the house, all of which will go unnoticed to the next owners and certainly will not add any value to the house when I come to sell it.
Case in point - I dislike Switched Fused connections so I got them all moved in a kitchen cupboard, onto a board so the kitchen tiling can be "less cluttered" - zero added value.
I also forced the plumber to chase the new boiler pipes into the wall so the kitchen tiling would be flush (and not boxed) - again absolutely no added value.
The list of superfluous requirements continues across the house - you just become your own enemy, burning money/time/efforts well knowing that you will sell the house within 5 years.
But hey, that's what you got to do, right?
