Dear colleagues:

Having completed the primary research for our furnishing plan, I am now
looking for some great furnishing plan examples to base the final document
upon.

Our furnishing period is from 1945-1954 but most of the objects in the house
date from before 1845.  Yes, we interpret colonial revival, and very
happily, too!

Of specific interest to me (and my intern) are formats, useful and not so
useful, and what exactly should be included. Thanks to 30,000 family
documents and all of the original furniture, there is virtually no
speculation about placement or history.  However, I do want to create a
document that will explain our reasoning in adjusting the actual plan to
accommodate school tours, as well as for substituting objects for those too
delicate to display all year round.

If you know of any good colonial revival furnishing plans, or post WWII
furnishing plans, or just any good ones in general, please pass their
titles, or institutions in my direction!

If you would like to respond off list -- please do so via my intern, Sheri
Leahan, who is compiling this research as part of her project.  Her email is
