Need help with the cabinet on the right and the picture or window  on the left.

Put in a window on the left but think I should have just corrected what I could and  let the rest damage stand and blurred it.
On the right I just can't get the cabinet or clock correctly.
Also not sure if I got the  child's legs right, or the lamp shade.

Suggestions and help welcome!

 :) I am brand new to this but the clock is a grandfather clock.  It might help to surf around to find a picture of a similar clock for the perspective and maybe design work.  The child's legs are probably not that long so some of it might be just blanket.  The child is not that old.  Looking at the layers on the original picture there might be enough detail on one to indicate what is what.  Not sure what you mean by the cabinet on the right.  There appears to be something in the corner  or are you referring to the piano next to the lady?  If so it is a spinet piano.  Could try the same method as the clock.
Good luck.

Thanks EMB75  :hug:

I'll start over.   Think you are right about the clock, piano, baby and blanket.   Will re-surf the channels.

Perhaps, these gallery images might be helpful for ideas for the baby's legs.

What about something like this. The baby is facing this way. Again, very rough.

Thanks Kiska, and Betty,   :hug:
   You are both right in that my baby's legs are too long.  There is more info on the Lab mode a, and b channel to confirm that.   Gotta remember to check all the channels.  CYMK, Labs and RGB.

Yes, it is so easy to forget how helpful the different channels are.  I didn't think of lab & cmyk until you mentioned them.

Sure looks like Kiska is on the right track.

Okay !!  :)
  This is still rough...   not sure how to do the clock.   Got some detail from the channels but not sure if it goes to the ceiling or not or what type of grandfather clock it its.
I see some detail I can bring back to the picture on the wall.
Above the end table ...not sure what more I can do to the window,..if it is a window.....

Thanks for any suggestions/help!!

Baby's foot (on viewer's right) is too big. Black square in corner of end table is likely to be damage. Grandfather clock most likely doesn't go all the way to the ceiling. Woman's stomach stops at first vertical stripe; carpet (shadowed) fills in the hole. Sleeve is too long.

You are really brave to take this one on - there is so much damage, and so much detail is obscured.

Thanks  Lurch  :hug:

Except for the colour of the baby's clothing, I think this is as far as I can get.

Any damage on the clock is there for I didn't want to ruin what detail there was.  Modified the top part of the clock for I couldn't make out what style it is.
Put what detail I could find for the wall picture.  Fixed the baby's feet.  Cleaned up and put texture back in the end table.

Anything I missed???
