We finally have all of our furniture! YAY!

I spent some time yesterday working on a photosynth of the main open area of our house. It took quite a bit of work! I took about 400 pictures and the program recommends no more than 300. So, after a LONG synthing process, I got a final product that turned out okay. It’s 90% synthy   It’s not quite as smooth as I would like, but I’m pretty sure it would explode if I tried to add more pictures. Anyway, take a look at our new furniture:

Recently, we have been working very hard on improving our house. We spent almost every day of Anson’s winter vacation going to furniture stores, taking pictures, measuring, going home, measuring, going back…you get the idea

We have now made all our purchases and are waiting for the deliveries. Yay! The first room that got all its new furniture was the bedroom. It’s a cherry wood  bedroom set that’s a bit oversized, but we love it. In fact, it actually makes our bedroom look normal in size (which is pretty amazing!). We were trying to think of a way to share our new home with our family on the east coast. So, here’s the solution we came up with: photosynth!  It’s a program that combines hundreds of photos (which you provide) and creates a 3-D experience. For our purposes, a tour!

Here is the photosynth of our master bedroom (yes, I know we have no artwork on the walls yet—we’re working on it).

The photosynth program seems to work pretty well. It’s a bit more work than the video tutorial implies…I had to take about 4x as many pictures as I thought I would. But, overall, it’s a ridiculously simple process. Download photosynth. Take pictures. Put pictures on computer. Open them in photosynth program. Click the synth button. Done!

I’ll work on photosynth-ing the other rooms of the house as they get closer to finished. We have recently received the new living room furniture and are just waiting for the dining room stuff…which is on back order. So, it may not be until February. But, it’ll be worth the wait
