Traditional Elegance with a Twist: River House Home Tour

Home Tour: Entryway featuring blue front door — **Pillar & Peacock/Houzz**

The foyer greets us with a blue door, framed by transom windows. Rather than going for a conventional entryway arrangement right next to the front door, a Victorian rocking chair paired with a colorful rug stands as a unique choice upon entering the home.
