advice?
Generally it looks really good, well done. But something is wrong about the perspective on the floor. Normally I am really no perspective-fundamentalist, but in your floor there are several points where the lines are running too, hence there are several places where the lines meet and that looks really strange. :)
The tiles to the right are conflicting with the cupboard. One is pointing NW and the other is NE. If the perspective was correct, I would not be able to see the right side of the cupboard.
I was going to do an edit, but I have now found that the computers here in the library dont have photoshop... >:(
Yeah, the floor is out of perspective.
1. Try and keep all the tiles the same width, just make them shorter (distance-wise) as the go back farter.
2. The upside-down "V" tiles have got to go. They look funny. All tiles should be rhombus or trapezoid shaped (no, they should be the quadrilateral, not DJ Qualls shaped... wokka wokka...)
I guess, set a vanishing point at the top of the screen right in the center. The draw one line dividing the screen. Then, about 10-20 pixels away from that line, draw another line from top to bottom connecting with the vanishing point.
If you have any questions, PM me... I have a few examples I could show you.

here's a quick and not totally accurate remake of the perspective :

Mage has pretty much got it right. The lines towards the centre shouls be almost 'vertical' and the further they get out, the more angled they get.
