That looks good for a first map, its a bit short but since its your first, it looks very nice.

It's too blocky, and I think I see a one-unit thick wooden plank thingy in screenshot #3 (on the left). Also, in that same screenshot #3, you should rotate the textures on the side of the wooden ledge 90 degrees.
Furthermore, the terrain is way too flat. However, if you start detailing a large open area like this one, you might get too high r_speeds.

As for props and stuff you can add to your buildings/map in general:
Interior:
chairs, tables, beds, book shelves, paintings, crates, barrels, candles, lanterns, maybe a chest of some sort, drawers, maybe even an anvil if you're building a blacksmith.
Exterior:
clothes lines between building (textures {eastline1, {eastline2 and {eastline3 for example), foliage (plants, search for everything that starts with "{"), perhaps even a well; wells add great detail.

That's all I can come up with right now but I'll take a closer look at the screenshots later.

Edit: Don't get me wrong though; this shows great potential, especially because it's your first map. My first map was way blocker (jm_styxtemple for the die-hards who remember it).

o yes there is much to be done to it in detail..this map im not trying to do nething like over the top or nuthin...basicly just practising and getting everything together..those screenies arent going to just be the map..im gona add a lot more 2 it so im trying to space out details(like wells and things) for when i get the basic of the whole map done..so then i know where things should go and what would look better here and not there ya kno..but kool thnx j-m..and if u can help me fix the stuff u said that would be awsome cuz ceriux is at work right now so i cant go bug him for what to do like ive been doin lol..but yea i havent really did MUCH work today..just slightly..so tommarow sumtime im gona be putting up some more screenies..im not gona beef up the lil area i did im prolly gona expand it and stuff..iduno not sure what to do next lol..make this lil area perfect? or expand on the map and then do all the real small special details later..? ne suggestions on whitch 1 would be easier to complete first?
