Vintage and antique dealer Tessan Rådö sources the dreamy finds of her business, even in her sleep. By leaving worries at the bedroom door and always having her nose dipped in at least two parallel books, she keeps her pace. We invited ourselves over for breakfast and a treasure hunt in her beautiful treasure chest of a villa, where she lives with her lovely family.
Our house:
A house built in the 1920’s just outside Stockholm.
We live here:
Tessan, Mikael, their kids Felix, 11 years old, Elin 8 years and Sander their cockerpoolabradoodle, 2 years.
What we do:
Tessan is a vintage and antiques dealer who also takes on interior jobs. Follow her at @stocksundvintage on Instagram.
Tuesday evening ends at:
Around 10-11 PM, I love sleeping but also am a hopeless “nightowl”, feeling inspired and at ease in the evening.
Before turning out the lights, you always:
Read, I’ve loved reading since I was a kid. Also making our way through the Narnia books with the kids right now and everybody is enjoying the suspense of the ongoing story.
Who/what are sharing your bed:
My husband, no kids mostly and no dog. We have a 210 cm bed but everybody sleeps best in their own.
Normally you sleep in:
Mostly t-shirt and pajama bottoms.
The last dream you remember:
Haha, one of my most recurring dreams is actually of coming to a really good thrift shop and making some great finds. Always a sign that it’s time to maybe take a break from sourcing.
On your night stand we will probably find:
A pile of books, often reading two in parallel depending on mood.
Your best tip for a good night sleep would be:
Good pillows, good sheets and a newly made bed. Also, comes with having an old house, crisp air and curling up under the duvet.
Your evening beauty routine includes:
I’m not very into beauty as a thing. All my skincare is from the same brand, Maria Åkerberg, both because I like it and to make things easy. I enjoy their natural fragrances and mildness.
This keeps you sleepless at night:
I try leaving worries at the bedroom door, it mostly works.
Instead of counting sheep you:
Scroll on Instagram haha, never works.
The best thing about your bedroom :
We invested in a huge and great bed when moving in.
