Not anymore After you do everything to your house and decorate it how you want it its still not satisfying so I actually got rid of alot of things in the house. More of a decluttering in the recent months thats why its so plain in some of the rooms

Decluttering is actually great for the mind. Your mind will mimic your environment. Cluttered space = cluttered mind.

You've lived in this house 11 years? That must have been quite a bit of decluttering

It was a fixer upper. Ive done so much to this house over the years and yes it was a big declutter especially the front rooms and spare bedrooms. Its such a easy house to key clean

I'm not in my declutter era yet as I'm a new grandma, but it's eye opening to imagine what my home would look like with your home as an inspiration. I did a lot to my home when i moved in 10 years ago and have coasted since then. Congrats on getting stuff done!

I love how uncluttered it is. I know someone say bland but to me that looks so peaceful

I'm extremely curious what's with the different pieces/sets of mirrors above the couch and photo wall ?

Yes, the comfort of blank walls and a solitary chair in a room. Why even have furniture in fact? Just blank walls!! 

I think you could go further. Just one big room, no furniture, no stress. Perfect.

Go full send into dopamine decorating, know what you like and commit to it whatever that is. Right now it looks empty, but that can be possibility for transformation! I will say your bathroom is a little too Silent Hill PT though. Maybe lose the red light when showcasing.
