Everybody Loves a Bargain: Aspen Home Consignment Closing After 26 Years
After 26 years in business, Aspen Home Consignment is closing its doors. But for owner Della Pegolotti, it’s not an ending to mourn. Instead, it’s a milestone to celebrate.
Since opening in 1999, the shop at 202 E. Main St. has been a cornerstone of the community, offering a curated selection of high-end furniture, artwork, lighting, and unique accessories from around the world. Known for its estate sales and consigned treasures, the store has been a resource for homeowners, designers, and collectors seeking quality pieces at fair prices.
Pegolotti said the closure comes as the building’s owner moves forward with long-planned renovations.
“We sold the building a couple of years ago, so I knew this was happening,” she said. “But the new owner just told us he got his building permits and wants to start in May. So I have to liquidate quite fast.”
The upcoming remodel includes the construction of apartments at the rear of the property. Pegolotti emphasized that the transition has been amicable.
“The owner has been very nice,” she said. “I do not want to make him out to be anything other than that.”
With a liquidation sale underway, she has until the end of April to clear out the store’s inventory. While the shop’s closure marks the end of an era for those who relied on its offerings to furnish their homes, Pegolotti sees it as an opportunity for a new chapter.
“It’s been 26 years of doing this. I love it. I absolutely love it,” she said. “The business has been great to me. The community has been great to me. I have great customers and consigners, and that is who I am really going to miss. The people.”
As she looks ahead, she’s eager to embrace a new adventure — one that includes spending more time with her two grandchildren. She emphasized that she would continue to sell her iconic neon cowboys and work with estate sales and home liquidations.
“I don’t want this to be a sad story,” she said. “This has been a wonderful experience over the past 26 years. I have met presidents, secretaries of state, and all sorts of people. Everybody loves a bargain.”
