before/after interior design lighting setup [images + shooting notes]

... but I like the first shot better. The natural light gives depth and the clutter says "you are welcome, make yourself comfortable". The second image is to clinical for my taste, even so you perfected your lighting.

Please don´t see this as critique, this was just some insight to my personal way of view. I also don´t see how a flash would have helped the pic by Vlad S, I really like it as it is.
