I love coloring old B/W photos so I decided to try this, but restoration was a pain.
Restoring, I used all the arsenal: clone, healing, median and noise filter, smudge, ect.
Then I added colors with curves layers on masked areas.

This is a fine restoration Cinza,
Like you I love coloring B/W photos.
I know how much work you put in here.
You cleaned the background beautifully.
The arm of the chair looks great.
I like your skin tones and the way you have
defined facial features. Thats hard to get right.
At first look I thought the man's jacket would
look a little better if darker and more saturated. But then I remembered I regretted making my jacket too dark and oversaturated.
P.S. Were you tempted to add a little color to the carpet?

Thank you Matt, an usefull and pleasing comment as usual.
I have added color to the carpet. At first it was blue, then red, at the end a slight reddish brown. I feared adding to much different colors.
You are right about man's jacket: darker it's better (I have tried after reading your comment) and it adjust its tone to skirt.
Speaking of tones I see now that whites on skirt and on boots are a little too bright and flat. When a work takes so much time as this has taken to me, I become so concentrated on details that I lost sight of overall image. I must learn to take this problem into account. Cinzia
