Set Inspiration: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

One of my best discoveries as of late has been the Australian mystery TV show Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. Set in the 1920s, Phryne Fisher is a detective who employs a variety of interesting characters to help her solve cases and keep up her flashy lifestyle.

Miss Fisher has had a really colourful life and also some loss, as we find out. Phryne not only solves cases for others, but also finds out clues about a mystery closer to home—about the disappearance of her younger sister Janie. 

Get the Look:

The chair seen above, and again in the below photo, are tufted with brass nails and a lush fabric. I like the updated versions of this style of chair from Pottery Barn—which are less heavy-looking.

 Ascot Armchair $1200 to $1600 at Pottery Barn

Middleton Armchair $1400 to $1800

I also like the octagonal coffee table, but prefer it in white:

The brown octagonal end table is a nice touch:

The tea cart and the silver tea service are classic touches that add a bit of elegance in any room:

WMF makes my favourite assortment of tea accessories.
