Some pics from Memphis trip.

[Ellen]

These are of the Peabody Hotel, it was right across the street from ours. This place is massive, takes up almost an entire block.

Looking up.

 

[Ellen]

One of the main entrances.

 

[Ellen]

Another entrance to the left.

 

[Lorelei]

WAAAOOH! She was walkin'' in Memphis!!

*slinks away*

 

[Ellen]

The infamous fountain where the ducks reside.

 

[Ellen]

lol at Lorelei!

This was taken sitting at the lobby bar, looking up. Gosh this place is gorgeous.

 

[Ellen]

And a close up of the detail.

 

[Ellen]

Another view of the detail looking up at the second floor corner. The woodwork is phenominal.

 

[Ellen]

Unfortunately, when I found this shop in the hotel, it was closed. But I had to take a pic of the ivory pieces in the display window.

 

[Ellen]

Close up of the horse. There''s no way to get it all in and show all the detail. (also having sizing issues)

 

[Ellen]

Bottom of the tower.

Oh my gosh, those are so cool!!!

 

[Ellen]

You can take a carriage ride around the city. I caught this one at night and took a pic. They were all lined up in front of the Peabody.

 

[Ellen]

Ok, on to Graceland. Out front.

 

[Ellen]

The chandelier in the entrance foyer. And just like a diamond, this doesn''t come close to capturing how pretty it really was.

 

[Ellen]

Off to the right of entering is the livingroom. And off of that is his piano room. All the rooms are roped off. And no flash, so some of these I had to lighten up so you can see.

 

[Ellen]

They have kept everything just as it was. This is the diningroom, off to the left of entering.

 

[Ellen]

To the left of the table.

 

[Ellen]

To the right.

 

[Ellen]

Through the diningroom was the kitchen, I didn''t take any of that. It was really small considering there was a cook making something almost all the time, and apparently people mulling around a lot.

This is his parents bedroom, also on the main floor. We were not allowed upstairs.

Beautiful pictures Ellen. I love the pictures of Graceland.

 

[Ellen]

This was what became the Jungle room. That''s a fountain on the wall to the left/back that''s lit up.

 

[Ellen]

Now we go downstairs. This was his TV room, I think. The three TV''s make me want to think that.

 

[Ellen]

Better view of the couch.

Glad you like them Linda! I''ve got more, but I have to take a potty break.

 

[Ellen]

This is the ceiling to his pool room, that''s fabric. I guess I didn''t get one of the actual room....but the ceiling was more interesting anyway.

LOL

 

[Ellen]

That''s it for the house. I didn''t take pics of everything, but did get a few outside. This is the back of the house. There''s a small pool to the left (I think), not showing.

 

[Ellen]

The gorgeous "back yard". The house sat on 13 acres.

 

[Linda W]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, would DH and I ever love to have that yard.
