Elisabeth Dunker describes herself as an”artist mixing art, craft, and interiors” and a “female health geek.” To put it simply, she’s a cyclone of activity. While making her masters from HDK, the School of Style and Crafts in Gothenburg, Sweden, she started a blog “very intuitively, nearly as a sketchbook in public.” That was almost twenty years back, and Fine Little Day, Elisabeth’s “simple pictures of life, nature, and the appeal in daily moment,” has actually given that progressed into an acclaimed Gothenburg style studio that produces elevated daily items for the home.
The offerings vary from artists’ prints and posters to boldly patterned fabrics and bentwood trays. There’s likewise a Fine Little Day ideas book, which begins: “I like things that are stretching, mismatched, and fragmentary.” Elisabeth is the brand’s lead designer, creative director, and voice, while her art school buddy Ulrika Engberg “guides the boat.” Their motto is “producing, finding, and getting the word out about art, style, and environment-friendly items considering that 2007.”
Elisabeth lives with her hubby, Dennis Dunker, an extremely specialized doctor (he’s a neurointerventionalist), in a house in Gothenburg that they settled in 8 years earlier after their daughter and child were grown. It’s a two-bedroom with adequate space for the family to gather, 2 grandchildren now included. However since it’s a rental, “a lot of it isn’t what we would have picked,” Elisabeth tells us. “Still, we could not tear out things that work, so rather, we made little changes and found out to deal with the rest.” Join us for a look at how Elisabeth did far more than simply settle.

Above: The house is in a turn-of-the-19th-century building with 2 houses per floor. The landlord appears to be very liberal, maybe since he knows and trusts Elisabeth’s work. Elisabeth, in turn, invested tactically in the space because she and Dennis plan to remain a while. In the shared hallway, she eliminated the existing “plastic flooring” to expose the original wooden floorboards.
“We painted the hall flooring ourselves although our carpenter encouraged against it,” she confesses. “He said it would look dirty and he was right. In hindsight, I wish we had actually simply kept the raw wooden floor beneath.” The train-style coat rack is vintage.
Above: Their 1960s Swedish settee included its velour upholstery. The Fine Little Day Merely Raising linen wall hanging over the mirror is Elisabeth’s homage to the advantages of weight training (on her Instagram, @elisabethdunkerr, she frequently shares her physical fitness routines for other “hormonal agent cliff scuba divers”). 
Above: The living room came with its herringbone floor and Elisabeth included the William Morris wallpaper and a Hay Rice Paper Light. The Mags sectional couch is also from Hay (in velvet since “it’s resilient and ages perfectly”) and the Berry Rain wool carpet is by artist Evelina Kroon for Layered.

She and Dennis, she says, are “deeply into music– we are omnivorous listeners.” They had a carpenter build their plywood cubes, which work as “both storage and tables.” The speaker is the MiniPod from Scandyna.
