As mentioned previously, we had a unique opportunity to use the newly refinished floors in their furniture-free state. Portia hosted a sock hop, a retro theme to show them off. Here are a few photos; click on one to see the full sequence and annotations.
The runway lights up the stairs.Disco ball, cleaned, polished and spinning. The nearly complete kitchen. The refrigerator does not fit into its bay, but the skylight tunnel now provides (LED) mood lighting.An open and polished dance floor.A 1960s favorite: pigs in blankets.Retro snacks: Chex party mix, Hawaiian punch, dried beef roll, Ruffles with ridges, you get the idea…The downstairs party.Animated discussions around the snack table.A 60s essential, Twister, a game for ages 6 and up.We discovered that there should be an upper limit to the age range for Twister.Breaking in the dance floor.Eventually more joined in.Waltzing in sockz.Goodnight to high school friends. Thanks for christening our new floors!
