Excellent rendering.
The one thing that tipped it off is the repeat on the hardwood flooring.
If you throw some randomness in it - even just shift the repeat some - 
that might eliminate that aspect.

hehe, I was actually more impressed by the right part :)

really, amazing job !  After half an hour staring, I finally noticed the 
repeating floor-texture.  Give it a non-repeating texture, and I'm sure 
I wouldn't have noticed anything synthetic about it ! :)

Nice job!

There's one thing that's still confusing me.  There's something next to the
doorway (the one we can see through into the other room) which looks like a
doorknob, complete with dirt smudge, but high up and on the wall, not on
the door.  Is this a doorknob???

Hmm, the ladder rails seem a bit smooth to me... I wonder how it would would
look if they had some scratches on them. (It feels a bit odd to comment on
what's already a more realistic image than anything I've done :D )

To me it looks like a light switch that's been placed a little too far
from the wall.

Yes, it's a old french light switch (brass or chrome), usually mounted on
ceramic or wood plate (mine is wood).

And yes, they were generally placed very high on the wall.

I don't mean high. I mean that the shadow suggests that it's a few
inches in front of the wall surface.

Hmm.  A real photo, eh?   :-[    Well... it's very realistic!   And still
inspiring!!!
