Meet Monica

Welcome to Tanglewood Collected. I’m Monica, a finder of old treasures and a creator of new possibilities.

Tanglewood Collected began with a simple idea: make more room for what brings me joy, and share it. For me, that means discovering unexpected finds, bringing old furniture back to life, and creating things with my hands.

Sometimes it’s the grain beneath an old finish, a wonderfully imperfect piece of driftwood, or a vintage treasure that makes me smile.

My hope is that the happiness I find in this work carries into the pieces themselves and the homes they become part of. Whether you find something you love or simply stop by for a little inspiration, I’m glad you’re here.

A piece made for you

Looking for something special? I also take on commissioned pieces. We’ll work together to find the right piece of furniture and choose a finish that suits your taste and the space you have in mind. From the first find to the final details, I’d love to help bring your vision home.
