Much better...
You can try the ACV file attached and see if you like it better.
I took your image and made the following changes:
1) Increase the saturation using the saturation slider in LAB to about 1.50 This image needs more color overall.
2) I added a small increase in the B channel so when you look at the A vs B curves the angle of the B is steeper. It seems to make the image look a bit better. The latest thinking on the saturation move in Lab appears to be that the B channel should get more of a boost than the A channel. I have been trying it out on images and I am finding that the images seem to be responding to that particular adjustment a bit better than an equal adjustment. We'll look at it more before we change the course work but give it a try and see if you like it better.
3) Added a very small lizard tail to the highlight end of the L curve to bring back some of the texture in the wall. The Threshold seems to be good but a touch too bright for the whites in the wall once you adjust for the correct color. I lifted the endpoint about 5 to flatten the image overall and then I added a slight lizard tail to bring some contrast to the highlights.
