This is coming on very nicely indeed. Good progress!

I have a couple of (minor) comments.

- Nitpicking. The rod from the farthest ceiling fixture aligns too well 
with the frame edge of the portrait over the mantelpiece. This is not 
vital but it catches the eyes (mine at least). just shift the camera, or 
the frame, or the lamp a little bit, whichever is best.

- The big mirror over the couch seem a bit flat to me.

- the carpet could use a bit of (more) thickness/fluffiness.

- The lighting of the scene. Much better than before but I am not sure 
where the light is coming from now. Somewhere in between the two light 
fixtures? In the final version I suppose you will light the lamps 
themselves?

- The tunnel entrance. Shouldn't there not be some way to show /how/ the 
entrance is closed? I suppose there should be some notches along the 
edges for the missing boards. Nitpicking: The floor boards being aligned 
parallel to the entrance, the closing lid must be especially reinforced 
in order to remain rigid when somebody walks over it ;-)

- Detail. Could you give the painting of the lady with the flowers some 
painterly aspect? It looks too much like a photograph to me but that 
might be the effect of the distance. Impressionism would be the way to 
go for the time period and the subject matter.
