Is it a reasonable expectation for OpenCV to be able to do object recognition on furniture?

I'm building an application that allows you to upload lots of snapshots around your house, for example, doing an inventory of your living room: Couch, TV, chair, lamp, etc

I want to save this image, then have object recognition on it, so it can describe it.

Most of the examples I see are with facial recognition or basic shape recognition.

For example, a couch:

C:\fakepath\crazyCouch.jpg

If so, how would I approach this? I think I would need to train it with a classifier, then go from there.
