About a block north of President Obama’s home in Chicago, George Washington Maher's Magerstadt House is a stunning example of classic prairie style. Affectionately known as “Poppy” thanks to rows of stained glass windows featuring the flower, the mansion features six bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, a breathtaking foyer and three fireplaces.
For her well-traveled art-collecting clients, designer Jen Talbot chose to blend their eclectic style with the impressive pedigree of the home, creating modern spaces that integrate seamlessly with the history of the building.

The family room was an addition to the house from a previous owner, so the woodwork didn’t dictate the design direction of the space, as in other rooms. The goal was to create a clean, modern, and functional room for the family, as well as a space to entertain guests.

For the butler pantry, the team wanted to keep it dark, cozy and a great place to stage appetizers for a cocktail party. A modern geometric print wallpaper from Osborne & Little and corresponding brushed brass bar hardware from Lewis Dolin create an updated look.
