Question
Hey Sherrie,

  My daughter is thirteen and she loves Elvis.I have always been a big fan also.We actually have the same birthday.My daughter is going to Graceland next month and while she is gone I am redoing her room as a surprise.There is going to be an Elvis wall and I wanted to see if you could give me any ideas on how to paint it that would be a way that Elvis might would of done.I have pictures of Elvis and a replica of Graceland and replicas of his trucks and a lot of other Elvis memorabilia that I will be putting on the wall.

Answer
Hi Brenda..thank you very much for your question.  Sounds like you and your daughter are pretty smart ladies. :)

Most generally when people do an "Elvis theme" color scheme..it's usually pink and black.  But as I'm sure you know...the colors in Graceland are primarily royal blue and white...Elvis did have Graceland all in red just before he died.  If it were me..I would go with either royal blue and white...or pink and black...

Hope this helps some....good luck with the project..that's one lucky girl. :)  Hope she has a safe and wonderful trip to Graceland.

Please let me know if I can be of further help.

Peace, Love and Elvis.....

Take care,

Sherrie

I'm sorry, but I can't answer questions on the value of Elvis memorabilia...I have a vast collection of things...and they are all priceless to me...so I never look for the value of an item. I cannot validify or counter the authenticity of any Elvis item or memorabilia....But I will glad to answer any question about Elvis and his life. I have "studied" Elvis since I was about 8 yrs. old. I am now 44. Have been to Graceland several times and try to go every year for the anniversary. In my spare time, I am all over the internet looking for anything to do with Elvis. My family calls me an "Elvis freak" instead of a fan...I`m very proud of that title...ha. I am not really into dates of song releases and such as that, but if you need to know anything about Elvis`s life, right down to what his mother called milk, I can answer just about anything. However, I cannot answer questions as to the value of items you may have. I loved Elvis very much and care deeply for his memory and will always be respectful of that as I would hope everyone will.

Experience
