Anyone who has been to Graceland knows that the decor is inspiring in its own way. So in honor of the 30th anniversary of the King's death, I thought I'd feature Presley's famous TV room as today's Midday Muse. The navy-and-yellow room, which looks even cooler in person, includes several TV tuned to different channels and a delightful ceramic monkey statue.

    The monkey statue creeps me out.

    It looks like a tribute to Michigan.

    That's such a cool room! I'd love to do something like that for a basement TV room or a rec room. It just looks so comfy.

    That's my favorite room at Graceland! (I've been twice. I'm not a huge Elvis fan, but the kitschy side of me really loves Graceland.) Anyone with interest in interior design really needs to make the trip to Graceland. The rooms are so over-the-top but really streamlined in a strange way, especially since the house itself it relatively small compared to what we think of as a big house today.

    The room is pretty cool even if it's Michigan's colors (I'm from Ohio big rivals lol). Although the monkey is kinda putting me off, monkeys seriously creep me out after some childhood encounters with a creepy moving monkey doll in my grandmas basement.

    I was in Graceland for Elvis Week, took the tour Friday. This is the ugliest, tackiest room in the place. The "Jungle Room" is pretty tame by comparison...
