The House

The Shabby Sheep isn’t just a furniture store; it’s a story of innovation and preservation…a labor of love. Erika Deady-Wohlers and her husband Nick Wohlers moved from Chicopee to Granby in 2001. They had purchased the old Thorton Clark house off Route 202, on East State Street. The two story colonial was built in 1826 and home to generations of Clarks. The house was in poor condition and in desperate need of attention. The Wholer’s found a dusty, old plaque in the cellar, whose faded letters read: Home is where your story begins, and so began Erika and Nick’s story. Under the watchful eyes of a small town, frequent passerbys peered through their heated car windows as the young couple diligently worked through the frigid winter months.
