text: The Guest House At Graceland | The Spacia Group
  Glitz and glam. Jumpsuits and classic cars. Elvis is certainly in the building – the Guest House building that is.
  At Spacia Group, we were thrilled to be part of such an exciting, creative, and historic project. The cooperation between various companies, museums, and people was truly a fun experience that only inspires us for more. Who doesn't love the ability to stretch their creative wings and be able to work with talented people?

  Get the inside scoop and see what some of the insiders from this project have to say.
  Spacia Group Art Director: Jenna Borden
  Spacia Group did framing for the artwork, but also provided mirrors for this inspiring resort. Jenna Borden, Art Director, said they had a lot of fun with this project and enjoyed the uniqueness and creativity of it all.
  Jenna: We wanted to convey the passion and spirit of the area and Elvis while making sure that there were some subtle nuances. We also wanted guests to feel inspired and the get the "wow" factor that Elvis and Spacia Group are known for.
  Q: What did the Spacia Group provide for this project?
  Jenna: We did custom framing, but we also did the custom guest room mirrors and custom public space mirrors, including some backlit mirrors. We combined function with original pieces that provide a fun, but elegant atmosphere.
  Q: What are the art and design services that you provide?

  Spacia Group Partner: Dan Oppenheimer

  Question: What kind of mindset did you have when starting this project?
  Dan: When creating the artwork, I had the mindset of "What would Elvis choose to have in it?" We made sure it wasn't overtly Elvis, we wanted it more subtle.
  Dan: We had three photo sessions:
  Graceland when it was closed to guests. We got our run of the place and it was awesome!
  The warehouse with the jewels and such that are typically off limits
  We got to pull unique pieces to photograph and used photos provided by Robert Die and Graceland.
  We photographed things that inspired us, again with the mindset of what Elvis would like to have in there, so we photographed cars, stain glass, jumpsuits, and much more.
  Q: Tell us a little more about the Guest House and the art.
  Dan: We decided to have a fun, three-dimensional take on some of the art, such as putting jewels and glitter on the jumpsuits with shadow boxes. I especially love the two different 1950s big-fin Cadillac photos, which are in the towers. As always, we appreciated how helpful, professional, and creative Spacia Group was throughout the whole process.
