Adjacent to the Living Room is a bedroom occupied by my parents.  The walls, carpet, dresser, and queen size bed are bright white with the bed draped with a velvet-looking dark purple bedspread.  The bedroom also has an en-suite full bathroom done in pink.  Momma loved the choice of colors.

My Entrance Hall contains a white staircase leading to the second floor of the house with a wall of reflective mirrors. The floor features my bedroom at the southwest corner that connects to my dressing room and bath room in the northwest corner. Lisa Marie's bedroom in the northeast corner and a bedroom in the southeast corner that was my private personal office. The second floor is not open to visitors out of respect for me. The floor has been untouched since my death and is rarely seen by non-family members.  Sorry.

Besides I still live up there!  Haven’t you heard the rumors?

To the left of the Entrance Hall, mirroring the Living Room is my Dining Room.  The room features rounded curio cabinets in the north end corners of the room, and black marble flooring in the center of the room, with carpet around the perimeter.

I loved having meals with my friends here!

In the mid-1960s, I enlarged the house to create a den known as Jungle Room which features an indoor waterfall of cut field stone on the north wall.

In 1976, I converted the Jungle Room into a recording studio, where I recorded the bulk of his final two albums, From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee and Moody Blue; these were my final known recordings in a studio setting.

The TV room in the basement is where I often watched three television sets at once, and was within close reach of a wet bar.  Hey ya gotta have drink right?  Besides Roosevelt watched three television sets too!

The walls and ceiling of the billiards room were covered with 350-400 yards of pleated cotton fabric after a remodel of the two rooms in the basement in 1974.  Can ya dig it?

During the mid-1960s expansion of the house, I constructed a large wing on the south side of the main house that was a sidewalk, between the music room in the original one-story wing and the swimming pool area, that connected to the house by a small enclosed gallery.

Elsewhere on the estate is a small white building that served as my father's office that contains a scale model of the home where I was born in Tupelo, Mississippi; an old smokehouse that housed Elvis' shooting range; and a fully functional stable of horses.

In my Trophy Building there are many walls displaying my records, movie posters, old time memorabilia of lipstick and shoes, even a 1950s Elvis doll.
