Have you ever gone on a road trip and find yourself running into complete strangers and they ask "where ya from?" It happens to us all the time and we always say "right outside of Memphis." And the next question out of their mouth is "How is Graceland?" Why is it that we find ourselves dumbfounded and say "uh, hadn't been before." I went to Graceland when I was around 8 years old but Hank & the boys have never been. So guess what we did today?
"This is the formal living room-lots of white...not sure if I like those peacocks.
As everyone knows I love interior design and I watch HGTV 24/7. As I toured the home I did not find the home tacky as others would say. (YES I AM CRITIQUING IT) But I could see how Elvis's interior designer found ONE item in each room that always popped. For instance, this all white room and the "gold" curtains in the back of the room definitely "pop."
This pic is somewhat blurry but I couldn't help but post it. Purple velvet comforter and yes-more white carpet! VERY SHEEK! Again, the purple comforter and drapes pop.
Formal Dining Room-the royal blue drapes definitely "pop!"
The mansion.

Neat! We've never been either (ha!) and get the same question all the time, too! Looks like a cool day-trip, though :) Thx for sharing!
Susan you may not know what an Elvis fan I am - in the 31 years of annual Candlelight Vigils at Graceland I have only missed 8 !
I missed the first day of First Grade to go to Memphis and drive past his house the day after his death, at age 4yrs I saw him on a motorcycle in Whitehaven and fainted on the seat of our car and even got married to an Elvis song 10 yrs ago. Long Live the King!
