Wanna see Graceland? part I


The "living room," so they called it. This was actually one of the fancier rooms in the house; clearly a place where guests were received. In general, Graceland was much less over-the-top decorative and large as I had always assumed.

Visitors are not allowed upstairs, just as they weren't when Elvis lived here. He was intensely private about the upstairs of the house. It's also up there where he died.


The kitchen was surprisingly plain, however it was one of my favorite rooms because it felt very lived-in and personal. During that part of the audio tour, Lisa Marie was talking about how they would all gather in the kitchen and how much quality time with her father was spent there.
