I am very interested in such a program.  I agree with all of Kristi's
suggestions and would like to add # 4: identifying furniture styles
and periods.

>Great idea! I am very intrested in your final program. Suggestions:
        1. how to store, safely
        2. cleaning, upholstered, leather, wood
        3. identifying woods
I am certain you have already thought of these but they all cause me
grief.
Our collection is primarily 1880 - 1930, mostly copies.

Thank you for suggesting this.
