Pretty good  ;)

Unless this is how you want it to be, I would suggest to put the wallpaper that is on the back wall on the left wall as well.
In Point Edit, just select the wall face and Apply your texture, then your room will be fully wallpapered.

Awesome, good lighting and composition is always a toughy, but you've done well.

select the stretched wall in point edit, change view to left or right (so you are looking right at it) then click Uv, hold your mousbutton down inside the circle and move it just a TINY bit. That should fix the stretch

The table texture needs a litle work and would look great with a shine or reflection effect on the top.
The blue car and the snow man apear to be floating. Nice little egg plant on the shelf unit
Great start well done.

As far as the shadows go, you need to check out your light setup.  If there is no front wall on the room, through which the "photograph" is taken, light may be coming through there.  If the window has glass in it it will still cast a full shadow, even if you have set it to fully transparent (a future Anim8or release will no doubt address this) so it is best to have no glass in the window in this instance.

Just a small observation: in the "Fixed" image above the shadows of the chair legs do not meet the legs themselves, which would suggest that the chair is hovering a little above the floor.  Also, the shelving units seem to have ultra-thin sides, made of a single plane rather than a box.  This could be the look you are going for, but I think it might look better if the cabinets were more solid.  Great work so far though, well done.
