Your topic made me shake my head. I've never heard of "house shaming" before. I was raised by busy parents in the 1960's. My mother was a first grade teacher so our house was always cluttered with papers to grade, assignments to create, and the items she was cutting out for the next great bulletin board. Our house was never a picture of magazine perfection. In Mom's eyes, our house said that life was being lived. Her other philosophy, people come to see you and not your house, is one that I adopted when I got married. It helped me relax with two toddlers if people were going to come over.

I really think it is sad that people compare their homes and the homes of other people to the staged pictures on the internet and in magazines. In fact, I wonder if you popped in at any one of those "perfect" homes if you would find a museum or a happy and lived in home.
