The Chamberlin Project is a magical, modern day Victorian kaleidoscopic space, with vibrant colours and finishes that are bold, yet quiet at the same time. Jasmin Reese Interiors was initially hired to help select pillows for the family room, from there Jasmin also suggested changing the rug, which led onto the team changing that entire room. After working on additional rooms within the house, eventually Jasmin Reese Interiors had transformed every main room in the home.   

Jasmin Reese states “I was so inspired to come to the clients with bold saturated ideas and “what ifs” that they agreed to – and always chimed that we should take that idea to the next level! I was excited to source period pieces and came across lots of interesting curiosities.” The design works so well as the scale of the home allows the colours and limited furnishings to vibrate and create a high octane look and feel. In addition to this, the design also manages to feel nostalgic, creating an interesting mix and design concept.  

Specialist artisan skills were used throughout the design of the project, including through the wallpaper hangers, art hangers, high quality painters and an individual who made the roman intaglios in the primary bedroom. As Chicago is known for its grey, muted environments, the Chamberlin Project stands out rather than blends in with most homes in this area. This home is in the middle of the woods and at night you can see the glowing tones of the beautiful fuchsia and teal room from down the street.
