Mugavero and her husband of 46 years moved to Denver in 1982. Intending to ‘fix and flip’ the house they bought in the city’s historic Country Club area, the couple instead fell in love with the neighborhood and never left. Meanwhile, Mugavero began consulting with people who needed help with their homes. While she’s never been listed in the phone book, her clients find her – usually as a result of referrals from other satisfied homeowners. A slow and careful approach is one of the keys to Mugavero’s success. “I’m not a quick study,” she says. “I like to understand what my clients like. Many times people who want beautiful homes have a good sense of their taste, but they need direction. I never come in and tell them what to do; instead, I encourage them to show me photos from magazines and books of rooms they like. We look at the light in the room and talk about their goals for the room and how the space might be used. |
A colorful framed kimono hangs in the entry of this
Asian-influended home which showcases the owner's antique pottery
and vintage wood carvings from Bali. Mugavero removed part of the
interior wall and added the stair railing and domed ceiling to open
up the space and add height.

A dining room features an antique Austrian 19th century
table and matching black leather-backed chairs. The home's original
door was re-fitted with a custom leaded glass window, and a small
shade hidden on the back of the door can be lowered for privacy.
