Meh, I prefer the other room. The vases look quite odd but I can't deny it's well designed. Yours is too, but doesn't seem as though you put enough effort into it, compared to the other room. I don't like the choice of wallpaper or flooring, you should of covered the backstage with polished/wooden tiles or any other tiles.
It's a shame you didn't win, but congratulations on being runner up.
