<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Throw away because we know lots of redditors.

Childless by choice with some dogs and cats, live in a house, both work and have a very nice 10+ year marriage. We are both very close to our families.

Neither of us is even 1% into decorating, furniture, whatever. In fact, we're both just bad at it, and hate it.  There are no pictures on our walls, no accessories around the house.  

We do not entertain here for that reason, but sometimes family does have to come over.  When they do, I feel ashamed about it a bit -- I mean it's almost comical how plain and ....."un-homely" our place is.

It's not dirty.  We have a housekeeper 2x a month since we both work hard and can afford it.  But it's just....ugly. 

We could hire a decorator or something, but it just seems like a waste of money to fill up a house with "stuff" to make it look nice. We would rather spend money on family, travel, or save.  

Plus, why spend a bunch of money to do things when we rarely entertain anyway?

My husband is not a handyman.  He has no skills of that sort, and we both have a huge blindspot when it comes to knowing what "looks right" -- things like matching colors or whatever.  I just don't pay attention.  I could not even tell you what I liked - I don't know.  As long as it's clean, I am happy.

So the question is -- do we just accept this and deal with the few times a year where it's embarrassing when family comes over, or do we pay someone to decorate?  

To clarify, things are not broken, breaking down, or gross. It's just empty, and plain.  Honestly, we do not even notice.  But I know other people look around and would think it's like -- "soul less".

The idea of devoting free time to working on decorating it also just does NOT appeal.

What do we do?
<bot>: Husband and I live in a house with no pictures on the wall, barely any furniture, and we're content this way; but it's embarassing
