I love this scene so much, your textures on the smaller models are superb.
(1) Lightbulb is too opaque, color is not good. I think you need a better glass shader for that and then dirty it up a bit.
(2) The wire shadows are a too defined. I doubt that under "real world" lighting they would cast any shadows unless it was a bright sunny say or artificially lit at night.
But then I guess you could tweek a scene like this to death...!
That'll do donkey... that'll do...

this is really going well.
the one shading comment I would make is that it seems your bump is a bit much... the human eye can see past a bump after a certain amount, and it looks just a little off. I just realized another possiblilty- most of the smudges on your wall are in grayscale, so maybe that is what makes the bump more pronounced (e.g. the wall is all grayscale just like an actual bump map). A little hint of colour should fix this.
that's really the only bug I see.
Great job, keep up the good work!
