Love the use of the desk, with stowed computer, as a buffet, and right next to the teeny woodstove. This is truly what people DO to accommodate the influx of family and friends for occasions.
The first thing that my sons eye was drawn to was the drawing of the woman on your flu. It is amazing how we all see different things. the first for me was the blast of pink. looks like a nice meal
It looks delicious and sort of "olde worlde". I think it might have more impast in b/w. This is really only my opinion, so if you're sitting on a 7 just ignore me ;-)
Concentrate more on the food. Crop out the computer? under the table/desk. Maybe take the shot to the front and drop down to a lower angle so that you can use the yellow wall as a nice bacground. The fireplace is too much of a distraction.
Sorry, but it's not the most interesting perspective you could have taken here. I know you tried to get it all in the frame, but you also got the computer and the furnace in there.
