Erin Schaumburg EROS HOME & CLOTHING
Above all things, Eros Home & Clothing owner Erin Schaumburg is a momma. “My five boys are my greatest claim to fame,” she smiles. With motherhood at the forefront, she approaches design projects with a mind for durability, but also beauty and peace. “Our focus is on family. Home is where your heart is, and we specialize in making it a place that you never want to leave. Whether a grandmother or a mom, we want your home to be comfortable for your style and your family. It’s all about making memories and making it your own!” Personalization can go even further with Erin’s custom upholstery line, My Five Boys. All of the sofas and chairs are named after her sons—Beau, Christian, Shepherd, Isaac and Oliver. Using lots of kid- and pet-friendly fabric, Erin says, “Almost everything we put into your house is washable or cleanable and still gorgeous. I really do believe that upholstery that is custom designed for you makes your home.” Erin’s upholstery line can be seen at Eros Home & Clothing’s 8,000-square-foot store in Madisonville. “When we opened our new location in 2019, we were on a quest to create an atmosphere that felt peaceful, and that customers would never want to leave. We accomplished that with 4,000 square-feet of outdoor living options, 3,200 square-feet of furniture, and 800 square-feet of custom-picked clothing. “It’s really worth the trip to the Northshore to visit.

Boutique. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of her childhood home and mother’s store inspired Erin’s own unique style which has served Eros Home & Clothing customers for nearly 25 years. On Instagram (@erosbyerinschaumburg), followers can take a peek into Erin’s life with five boys, new arrivals at the store, and the projects both big and small that she is working on. She shares about the homes and lives of her clients, noting them as friends. “Most clients who have hired me, hire me again. We become friends and they use me forever as I aim to create spaces for them to make memories. “It is who I am and why people hire me. Most of the people that hire me, choose me because I love my family more than anything. Motherhood comes first.”
