“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”
John 3:16
Today we are ending our tour of the Caroline House and I will admit…these three posts haven’t covered even a fraction of all there is to see in the beautiful show house at Briarwood Presbyterian Church!
So far, you’ve seen a gorgeous transitional sunroom and a to-die-for Christmas bedroom. Today, we will take a walk through the beautiful front doors, see some beautiful sights along the way, and finally end up in the library…which, to me, was the crux of the show house.
The whole room displayed God’s love for the nations as seen by vignettes lining the bookshelves. After all, the reason we have a holiday to celebrate is because God loved us and sent his Son for us. Joy entered our world in the form of a baby! I hope you all enjoy our final walk through this beautiful home…
A beautiful welcome with fresh flowers and greenery!! I love this hand-painted prayer for all!! The dining room chandelier is dressed with fresh flowers! A simple nativity! Greenery adorned the bannister overlooking the living room! Wreath representing countries of the world greets you as you enter the library! A framed world map hangs above a small shabby chic sofa! Vignettes representing countries filled each shelf! I love this idea that reminds me of the truth that “God so loved the world”… not just one country or one people group but everyone is included! “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins”

Bonnie Morgan says
Such a lovely house and many talented flower designers and interior designers had to be involved in this large project. I am curious about the home. Can you share more about it.
Pam Richardson says
Bonnie, from what I understand the house was on the property that Briarwood purchased and it is used for different functions! As a part of their ladies’ ministry, it is decorated for a Christmas tour every year! Have a great week!

Love all of your photographs Pam. But they one that had me in awe, maybe because I’ve never seen anything like it before was the flowers in the chandelier. All very beautiful.
Pam Richardson says
Mary, this house had fresh flowers everywhere and they were gorgeous! I agree the flowers in the chandelier were amazing! Thanks so much and have a great week!

Thanks for sharing this! I agree, it’s wonderful to see “God so loved the WORLD” theme so beautifully displayed in the lovely vignettes. Love the burlap wreath with flags around the metal cross – perfect symbolism!
